Raising Arizona

Published: Aug. 26, 2017, 7:45 p.m.

Good evening and welcome to Macintosh and Maud Haven't Seen What?! Mac and Maud missed out on some important cinematic touchstones, and it's high time we filled those gaps. Each episode, we take turns forcing each other to watch a movie we should have already seen. This time, Mac makes Maud watch the Coen Brothers' early classic Raising Arizona. Mac's been a long-time fan of the movie, but Maud's skepticism has him reconsidering his opinion. But that won't stop Mac from talking about the amazing opening sequence, the career-making performances for Nic Cage, Holly Hunter and John Goodman, and the endlessly quotable one-liners peppered through the film.
