Episode 630: Raising Arizona (1987)

We wrap up a month of discussion around comedic film with one of the best, The Coen Brothers's second film, Raising Arizona. It's the story of repeat offender H.I. McDunnough (Nicolas Cage) and his wife Ed (Holly Hunter), a childless couple who steal one of the quintuplets from Nathan Arizona (Trey Wilson) and, hell, you know who he is.

Rob St. Mary and Keith Gordon join Mike to talk about the film while Professor Joseph McBride discusses his book, The Whole Durn Human Comedy: Life According to the Coen Brothers.
