For the Coen Brothers' first comedy, Raising Arizona, we happen to have two native Arizonans and some past and present Arizona residents on the podcast to ask, "Is this really what Arizona is like?"  The answer is pretty much "no," but that's okay because it's what Ethan Coen calls "an Arizona of the mind."  Joining us as guest to talk about this Arizona cult classic is the star of another cult classic, Phil Haldiman, who played Denny in Tommy Wiseau's "The Room."  Phil is now a newspaper editor in Peoria, AZ, so this episode is about to get hyper-local.
