A latter-day role for Newman.
Griffin NewmanHOST

David SimsHOST
After The Hudsucker Proxy.
Griffin NewmanHOST
Which Hudsucker, he's obviously doing full-on old man, but also full-on evil.
Griffin NewmanHOST
He's playing sort of the comedic, the comedically heightened version of this guy.

Martin ThomasGUEST
And not even like one of the classics, more like Hudsucker Proxy.

Gregory RosebrughHOST
They also won Best Director for Barton Fink because that's how Mr. Polanski rolled that year.
Gregory RosebrughHOST
They were back with the Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, which they also won Best Director for, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The Man Who Wasn't There, which they also won Best Director for, The Lady Killers, and No Country for Old Men.
Bil AntoniouHOST
Although it should be pointed out, it's only Joel who wins Best Director in all three of those cases.
Bil AntoniouHOST
That's right.
John ReedHOST
I watched that a whole bunch growing up.
John ReedHOST
Hudsucker Proxy, Big Lebowski, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Those are some of my favorite movies.
John ReedHOST
Well, Big Lebowski and Oh Brother Where Art Thou? But I think that's something that they do really well is kind of taking a serious subject matter and just a little twist of the dark humor.
John ReedHOST
And I think this one that they do that really, really well here.
Ben VerschoorHOST
Yeah.
Ben VerschoorHOST
I will say, I don't, I don't think he's very good in this, but it is clear that, um, like very young Tim Robbins even here, you can see that he had a talent for cartoonish exaggerated comedy that, uh, that is put to much better use by the Coen brothers in The Hudsucker Proxy.
Stephen SantanaHOST
Ah.
Ben VerschoorHOST
It's just-
Frank SantopadreHOST
And I was reading about Blaze and I was reading about Paul Newman and I thought, why am I not recommending Paul Newman movies for the podcast? So I want to talk – that was 89.
Frank SantopadreHOST
But I want to talk about one he made a few years later in 94 called The Hudsucker Proxy.
Gilbert GottfriedHOST

JayHOST
She actually is really funny in
JohnHOST
Between the years, however you slice the decade, the Coen brothers' decade either started with 1990, Miller's Crossing, or it started with 1991, or 92 actually was when this came out in theaters, Barton Fink.
JohnHOST
But their 90s were Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? And when I saw that, I was like, okay, that's too many of my favorite movies ever.
JohnHOST
In one decade.
JohnHOST
That also represents probably the peak decade.
Ben HansonHOST
Yeah.
Ben HansonHOST
I, I think for me it kind of falls in that camp, but, like, trying to convince somebody to watch Hudsucker Proxy I think is tough.
Ben HansonHOST
I do think-
