On this episode of The Reel Roundtable, we will look at the first of two Coen Brothers’ movies in a back-to-back look at Raising Arizona and then Miller’s Crossing. In an outlandish tale of going to the extreme to create the traditional family released in 1987, Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter bring a unique look at how opposites attract.

Raising Arizona (1987)

Ash - 9/9

For the first time on The Real Roundtable, we are reviewing a movie we had all seen in the past. Also, it's our first foreign film. The movie? Kung Fu Hustle.

Roger Ebert wrote a review of this calling it like watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon. However, it's Kung Fu Hustle. Basically, it's all about Kung Fu!

This episode of The Real Roundtable, we're going to look at the 1986 movie, Flight of the Navigator. We're going to see if it holds up as a science fiction film for kids. I'm very curious to see whether Brody likes it, but especially if Chris likes it.

9 to 5 was recommended by the Librarian. While it seems an odd choice for this group to review, they guys had lots of fun discussing this as well as bringing in a female perspective from the Librarian herself. Since Chris is always so picky, I hope you will listen to what he does like about this film and see if Brodie and Ash actually enjoy this picture.

9 to 5

Army Of Darkness is a favorite movie of Ash. It completes the Evil Dead Series and that is where Bruce Campbell got his start. While Brodie had seen this, Chris had not. With tributes to Three Stooges, we are curious on where Chris will land on this movie.
