Fargo: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career context): Fargo → The Hudsucker Proxy. Fargo came after the Hudsucker flop but was not a reaction to it; the script was already being written.

Hail, Caesar!: 1 line programming ×1

  1. programming (programming): The Hudsucker Proxy → Hail, Caesar!. If the show ever does the Coen brothers, Hudsucker and Hail, Caesar! are the episodes the hosts most want.
    “If we ever do the Cohens, it's mostly for like the Hudsucker and Hail Caesar episodes, in my opinion.”

Paul Newman: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (late-career persona): The Hudsucker Proxy → Paul Newman. In Hudsucker Newman plays the old man as comedic evil, a heightened version of the elder-statesman role.
    “Which Hudsucker, he's obviously doing full on old man, but also full on evil.”

Sam Raimi: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Sam Raimi → The Hudsucker Proxy. Raimi's best movies have one deliberate way each scene could be constructed, with no alternate coverage.
    “there is only one way this scene could be constructed”

Toy Story franchise: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (canon filler): The Hudsucker Proxy → Toy Story franchise. To make a good toy-movie canon you have to cheat and include movies not driven by a product: Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, Hudsucker.
    “In order to make a cannon that is good. You have to cheat and put in things like Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, and the Hudsucker proxy”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about The Hudsucker Proxy: Griffin's pick for the toy-movie canon because it is about the business of toys: a film entirely about the hula hoop.
