Perhaps one of the most underappreciated films in the Coen Brothers canon, 1994's The Hudsucker Proxy is the story of Norville Barnes, a good natured guy who achieves immediate success at Hudsucker Industries and changes the world with the invention of the hula hoop. But like the films of Frank Capra, one of its chief inspirations, it has a darker side. The most expensive Coen film to date, and their first foray into the Hollywood studio system, it failed to achieve success at the box office and with critics. Nearly three decades since its release the film has found a new audience. We're joined by culture writer Chris Vognar to discuss the Coen Brothers' fifth film. Jason recommends two films this month - Is That Black Enough for You and Cotton Comes to Harlem Follow us on Twitter @CoenBrothersPod, on Instagram @TheLifeoftheMindPod and Facebook.com/thelifeofthemindpod You can also find Chris Ayers' designs for Coen Brothers alternative movie posters at Etsy.com/shop/ChrisAyersCreative Music by Nick Shelby and Mike Brenner at CosmicAmericanMusic.com

Chris Vognar is a Houston-based writer. His life partner, Kate, passed away July 2, 2020. A dear friend connected us recently knowing that we both are in the throws of grief. Chris interviewed me for an essay he wrote for the Houston Chronicle, then I had the honor of having this conversation with him. Join us on this rainy day as we talk grief. Please bear with me as my audio is a little scrambled, but Chris's audio is perfectly clear, and it doesn't really matter so much what I say, his grief and his story both deserve our time and attention. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app · Charity Promotion: Democracy Works: This advertisement is part of a charitable initiative in partnership with Democracy Works. howto.vote · Charity Promotion: BallotReady: The goal of this initiative is to increase voter education and encourage your listeners to get the vote out during the 2020 General Election this November. https://www.ballotready.org/ Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/grieve-me-alone/support

It's hard to find a consensus No. 1 movie of 2018. The Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association (of which The Big Screen is a part) picked "A Star Is Born."

So with that, here's our picks. Check out Dallas Morning News culture critic Chris Vognar's top movies of 2018. And find Stephen Becker's here.
