Summary

Dan and Mike talk about the Coen brothers' second film, Raising Arizona (1987). Dan compares the opening to that of Up and Mike talks about H.I.'s attempt to sound dignified. Are, as Dan claims, the light touches and moments funnier than the jokes? Is, as Mike argues, the car chase one of the best in movie history? And what about the letter grades that the guys give to each Coen brothers film?
