In the grand scheme of Coen brothers movies, Inside Llewyn Davis seems destined to be beloved by a small camp of diehards. Like A Serious Man or Hail, Caesar!, its pleasures evade most on early viewings. Some of these, like Barton Fink, eventually develop a reputation as august as any of the more universally agreed-upon Coen classics. Maybe it just takes a quarter century.
Anyway, for that early-adopter Inside Llewyn Davis cultist in your family, here is a set of lovingly created baseball cards featuring the film’s characters. It was made by cartoonist and writer Stephen Winchell and writer and editor Grayson Davis, and they did so with a deep reverence for the source material. “I hope nobody thinks we’re doing this ironically,” Davis told Brightest Young Things. “Go see Inside Llewyn Davis if you haven’t.”
