This week sees the release of the Coen brothers' new comedy-thriller Burn After Reading, so we thought it an appropriate time to dig up some of the Coens' first comedies - namely, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy. Some of these films have attained the status of cult classics, while some (okay, just Hudsucker) have earned a less prestigious claim. We're going to take a look back at these 90's films, but not without also passing judgment on Burn After Reading. A caveat: Ricky D will be taking a much-needed vacation, so this week's shows will be hosted by Simon and a special guest or two. Will civilization (aka the show) collapse in Ricky's absence? Tune in and find out!
