If Raising Arizona hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: satire

Common ground: satire
The difference: Sits closer to western than Raising Arizona does

Both are built on the same subject: robbery

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

Darkly funny comedy, and it commits to that
The difference: Trades the grit of Raising Arizona for an angle of its own

Both lean on grit more than on crime
The difference: 32 years apart, and the 1950s show



Comedy built on dark humor, twice over
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

The same preoccupation in both: robbery
