Unlike what Adam believes, the MacGuffin is not on the breakfast menu of a fast food restaurant. Nor is it a hastily made contraption made from rubber bands and chewing gum wrappers to get the hero out of sticky situation. The MacGuffin is that thing that provides the characters with the motivation needed to move the plot forward. The guys define and discuss some of the most famous and favorite MacGuffins from such films as Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, The Maltese Falcon, D.O.A., and others.
