William BibbianiHOST
We can talk about two great Holly Hunter movies.
Whitney SeiboldHOST
Is it Raising Arizona? Of course it's Raising Arizona.
William BibbianiHOST
Although there's plenty to choose from.
William BibbianiHOST
Yeah.
William BibbianiHOST
She's amazing.
William BibbianiHOST
Yeah.
William BibbianiHOST
But no, Raising Arizona is a great sort of counterpoint to Broadcast News because Broadcast News is funny, but it's really like one of the great dramedies.
William BibbianiHOST
You're taking it very seriously, but the characters are very witty.
SpanishPANELIST
Hey,
Mike CaltaHOST
Joe, I watched Raising Arizona this weekend.
JoePANELIST
Yeah.
Mike CaltaHOST
And you know what phrase they used in there? No seats for purchase.
Ronnie KaramHOST
[laughs]
Amy PhillipsGUEST
What was the movie that she was in with, uh, Raising, uh, Raising Arizona.
Ronnie KaramHOST
Raising Arizona.
Amy PhillipsGUEST
That was, that was her breakout movie, yeah.
Ronnie KaramHOST
[laughs] Yeah, that was a classic.
Jim O'KaneGUEST
there are pieces, they're all there, but it just didn't capture my amazement.
Jim O'KaneGUEST
It all seemed rather, I mean, there are scenes that were done better in things like Raising Arizona or things that were done, and it's like, it lacked originality to me.
Jim O'KaneGUEST
And I think there were a lot of elements that people caught onto that they didn't realize that They're kind of predisposed to saying – if you have a movie that's being narrated by Morgan Freeman, it's got to be good because his voice is right there.
Jim O'KaneGUEST
But it just didn't – it's like the pieces didn't all fit together for me.
Zeth LundyHOST
Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Hail Caesar, The Man Who Wasn't There, Burn After Reading.
Zeth LundyHOST
And secondary to that are things and people being stolen, like in No Country for Old Men or Raising Arizona or True Grit.
Zeth LundyHOST
But no one is saying, ah, man, Burn After Reading is just Fargo, but instead of the Midwest, it's set in a gym and the Beltway.
Zeth LundyHOST
Yeah.
PeteHOST
L.A. Story is another one of his top four.
PeteHOST
He's a movie critic at Steve Martin's TV station and Raising Arizona.
ScottHOST
I don't remember a lot of Raising Arizona, but he strikes me as someone that has worked with the Coen brothers before.
PeteHOST
Yeah, yeah.
PeteHOST
But, I mean, Sam McMurray is pretty prolific if you look at his kind of – Still works a lot.
Brian SalisburyHOST
Who, if you don't know, Carter Burwell did almost all of the Coen Brothers movies.
Brian SalisburyHOST
And this year, in 1987, he scored this and Raising Arizona.
Brian SalisburyHOST
Which is why, if you listen to the score from Past the Ammo, I am convinced that a lot of it is leftover stuff he didn't use for Raising Arizona.
Brian SalisburyHOST
Because they are so fucking similar.
C. Robert CargillHOST
And maybe he only ended up on this because he thought it was the other Joel Coen.
Brian SalisburyHOST
This is, I would say, of everything I've seen, his best role.
Brian SalisburyHOST
He's playing one of the two.
Brian SalisburyHOST
I mean, again, Raising Arizona.
RobHOST
He's been in a few.
RobHOST
Coen Brothers movie, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, Big Lebowski, Old Brother Where Art Thou, and Inside Llewellyn Davis.
RobHOST
He's been in Pixar Monsters, Bringing Out the Dead, Speed Racer, The Artist, Argo, Flight.
RobHOST
Remember he was in Flight? Of course he was in
RobHOST
Ethan Cohn was functionally co-directed throughout and the two have always written, produced and edited as a single unit.
RobHOST
They've worked this way since their 1984 debut.
RobHOST
They've filmed Blood Simple in 84, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, True Grit, Inside Llewellyn Davis, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, which I actually really enjoyed, and several
RohanHOST
others.
Kevin McCarthyHOST
[laughs]
Zach CreggerGUEST
And I probably, not probably, it's because when I was a kid I saw Raising Arizona-
Austin AbramsGUEST
Hmm
Zach CreggerGUEST
... and I remember that cold open being the greatest thing I'd ever seen.
Mark HigginsGUEST
This is the Coen brothers, right? Coen brothers, yep.
Mark HigginsGUEST
And Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, and Miller's Crossing.
Mark HigginsGUEST
Low-key, Miller's Crossing might be one of my favorite Coen Brothers films.
Mark HigginsGUEST
I've not seen it.
