Southern Gothic: Danny McBride is from Georgia. Joel and Ethan Coen grew up in Minnesota. Yet they share a fascination with the most outlandish elements of the South, and share a fascination with the grotesque. Every McBride show has been set below the Mason-Dixon Line. If you count Texas as the South (and we know: Texans have strong opinions about this,) the Southern-set Coen Brothers films include Blood Simple, Ladykillers, O Brother Where Art Thou, No Country for Old Men and True Grit.
