Is Buster Scruggs the equivalent of Backspacer? Or its more close to Riot Act?

I would say it's closer to Backspacer than Riot Act, but it's WAY better than Backspacer. It's more like the Avocado of the Coen catalog.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The Girl Who Got Rattled
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
All Gold Canyon
The Meal Ticket
Near Algodones
The Mortal Remains


I'd give the move as a whole 4/5. I liked all the stories and it felt like a short story book in movie format. There are a lot of short stories that veer from having the normal "beginning, middle, and end" so some of these vignettes worked fine in the movie.
