In this episode I'm joined by Arjun Sajip, film writer and programmer (www.twitter.com/ArjSaj) to chat about The Hudsucker Proxy, the 1994 film directed by the Coen brothers.
In the movie, Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) is fresh off the bus in New York City, 1959, and lands a job in the mailroom of the monolithic Hudsucker Industries on the same day its director commits suicide. Norville is suddenly propelled to the directorship of the company, attracting the attention of ace reporter Amy Archer, who smells a rat. Both are unaware that Norville’s change in fortunes is part of a scheme by villainous board member Sidney J Mussburger (Paul Newman) to buy a controlling interest in Hudsucker Industries, and no-one is prepared for the impact of Norville’s amazing new business idea… for kids.
