In the latest episode of the FILMS I OWN BUT HAVEN'T WATCHED YET podcast, a special spin-off from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, I dive into another film from my ever-expanding DVD collection. Tonight, it's the modern western "The Sisters Brothers." Join me as I watch it for the first time and share my review!

The Sisters Brothers (2018): Directed by Jacques Audiard, "The Sisters Brothers" is a darkly comedic western based on the novel by Patrick deWitt. The film stars John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix as Eli and Charlie Sisters, a pair of infamous assassin brothers in 1850s Oregon. The Sisters are hired by a wealthy businessman, known as the Commodore, to track down and kill a prospector named Hermann Kermit Warm (Riz Ahmed), who has developed a chemical formula that reveals gold in rivers. As they pursue Warm, they are also trailed by a detective named John Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal), who has befriended Warm. As the journey progresses, the brothers confront their own personal struggles and moral dilemmas, leading to unexpected consequences. "The Sisters Brothers" is praised for its unique blend of humor, action, and introspective moments, with standout performances from the cast and stunning cinematography.
