  7. 190: 190: Star Trek: Wink of an Eye and The Empath

    After the extraordinarily low lows of last week's Star Trek episodes, this week's batch feels like a welcome respite. Up to bat this week is previously-seen guest star Diana Muldaur in the psychedelic ugly alien freakout Is There in Truth N

  21. 176: Raising Arizona (1987)

    The third film in our Coens Comedy Classics lineup is an all-time favorite of Alex's, and a genuine screwball hall-of-famer if you don't mind such bold proclamations. We are, of course, talking about Raising Arizona, a movie chock full of y

  22. 175: The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)

    Our journey through some of the wackier Coen Brothers capers continues this week as we take on The Hudsucker Proxy, a star-studded, over-the-top affair that is equal parts His Girl Friday and Roadrunner cartoon, and is every bit as ungainly
