Episode notes

Carlagine: "Shigwur treats destiny and fate as if nobody really" He says he's never made a choice with that much skin in the game. Shigwur pulls the vin number from luellin's truck, then just kills the other two guys for no reason i guess i was reading maybe what's pissed shigwur off is that the main drug dealer guy has hired multiple people to retrieve his drugs which pisses him off. The sheriff gives them the transponder but they don't know anything about it or who these people are or why he's killed them.

David and Tamler dive into the Coen brothers’ bleak and beautiful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel "No Country for Old Men." What’s the underlying philosophy that animates Anton Chigurh? Does he have a code of any kind, or is he just a ghostly symbol of human brutality and a pitiless indifferent universe? Does he represent a new kind of evil or is Sheriff Bell just getting old? What elements, if any, in the film are more dream than reality?

And speaking of moral decline, a new Nature study claims that we have the illusory belief that people are getting worse - but can they really establish that it’s an illusion?
