Buster Scruggs is one of the most fun characters they’ve done and I wish his part was bigger.

That segment just made me feel happy as poo poo, the songs were genuinely good while simultaneously being incredibly catchy and funny.

I wish it was a full length film, but at the same time I also somewhat realize its brevity is what lent it a large margin of its effectiveness.

Brad Pitt was amazing as Chad. He's such a waste as a leading man.

"Surly Joe" might just be my favorite movie song ever.

Agreed. Same in True Romance.

I haven't seen their entire body of work but I watched Intolerable Cruelty at home and enjoyed it :(
What's wrong with it?

I watched it after hearing everyone say it was terrible and I thought it was a hoot. To be sure, not their deepest film by ANY measure, but a fantastic light comedy.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I know I am in the minority, but I don't mind The Ladykillers, or Intolerable Cruelty.

Intolerable Cruelty is hugely derivative, and is trying way way too hard to be "screwball", and The Ladykillers isn't that funny. But I don't think either deserves the scorn they get.

They are undeniably among the weaker, if not the weakest, Cohen Bros. films, and are definitely disappointing coming from them, but objectively they are meh at worst, not bad under normal situations, and have their moments at best.

Again, I know I am in teh minority holding this opinion.

What's wrong with you? You don't even have your beer goggles on!!
One of my favorites is the old fat lawyer in Serious Man who immediately has a heart attack before he can actually say anything. Somehow it's really memorable to me.
