The Hudsucker Proxy

"Listen, chump, either you find me a grade-A ding-dong or you can tender your key to the executive washroom."

Happy New Year! To ring in 2014, we wanted to find a tie-in to the new year so landed on 1994’s Coen brothers comedy, “The Hudsucker Proxy.” Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we delve back into the comedies from our good friends the brothers Coen and ring in 2014 with this fun film. We talk about the overall feel of the Coens’ films and compare their comedies to their dramas. We discuss what it takes to be a great film and what would make one ‘lesser’ and where we’d put this film. We chat about any deeper meaning about corporate greed that can be read into this film, and whether or not it was intentionally put there by the Coens and their co-writer, Sam Raimi, or not. And we talk about how Roger Deakins’ work has evolved over the years with the Coens and what changes he’s made in his own style from watching in their washroom. It’s a fun movie and one worth watching and discussing. Check it out!

Film Sundries

A show about movies and how they connect.

When the movie ends, our conversation begins. We love movies. We’ve been talking about them, one movie a week, since 2011. It’s a lot of movies, that’s true, but we’re passionate about origins and performance, directors and actors, themes and genres, and so much more. So join the community and let’s hear about your favorite movies, too.
