Hud

Calder Willingham, myself and Stanley, uh, Dick Anderson, Marty Ritt.

Dick Anderson was Richard Anderson, one of the actors from Paths of Glory, and Marty Ritt, that was Martin Ritt, director of films like Hud and Norma Rae.

Anyways, Stanley was a pretty good poker player.

You know, he was a great chess player from what I understand, but, but he was a pretty good poker player.

And those two movies, which is really interesting that you had those two.

they be they contain probably the least amount of his dream state imagery or like all of his dream worlds and you feel like you're in a nightmare in most of his movies those two are the most empathetic and hopeful and you get the lighter side of lynch in those two films and yeah i i adore that movie i'm excited i i have the same copy and i'm excited to watch it um My next one is HUD, which I was telling Dylan before we were recording, our last physical media pod, I had the Australian Blu-ray copy of this that I purchased really early this year.

This is a fantastic movie.

HUD is... one of my favorite movies, especially from the 60s.

This is such, talk about another ultra modern movie starring maybe my favorite actor of all time, arguably Paul Newman.

And this contains an amazing black and white cinematic feel.

Patricia Neal is the housekeeper, and I believe she won an Oscar and Melvin Douglas was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

He appeared in Shane in 1953 when he was 11.

Uh, he was in Hud in 1963 with Paul Newman, and he was kind of just hanging out and part of the drug scene, and he was smoking dynamite weed with The Beatles.

And-

[laughs]

We don't know.

It mi- yeah, it might be a reference, what do you say, from Hud?

Hud, yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, which would, uh, technically be a Larry McMurtry reference then.

Oh, God.

it.

Did you see HUD? Have your listeners seen HUD?

I have not seen HUD.

Well, you have to see Hutt.

If you want to see Paul Newman as an anti-hero in a great Larry McMurtry book, comes a horseman, you've got to see
