The Hudsucker Proxy

The Mikes have made it to the top of the corporate ladder and they've got THE next great product...a circle! You know...for kids.

That's right, Mike Butler and Mike Field are taking a look at yet another Joel and Ethan Coen film, The Hudsucker Proxy, starring Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Listen in as the Mikes discuss this quirky comedy. The story might be a little on the thin side, but the dialogue, acting, cinematography, and gags more than make up for it.

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
