Tim Blake Nelson might be a familiar face due to his indelible character roles in many films, but that didn\u2019t stop him from defying just about all of Marc\u2019s preconceptions about him. Marc had no idea, for example, about Tim\u2019s Jewish upbringing in Tulsa, or that his family escaped the Holocaust and became oil drillers in America, or that Tim tried his hand at stand-up in the 80s, or that he studied the classics in hopes of becoming a professor or an archeologist. They talk about all of that stuff and a lot about the Coen Brothers, too, particularly their new movie with Tim, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.\xa0This episode is sponsored by The Shivering Truth on Adult Swim, Spotify, SimpliSafe, and Stamps.com.
