15 - The Hudsucker Proxy w Jonny Potts

Say listener, you, yes you! You wanna gig, kid? The years 1958 and we've got the scoop of the century! Vernon Hudsucker has gone kaput, kablamo! Who'll take over the company? His righthand man, the cigar chomping Sidney J Mussburger? Or will it be some nobody from the street? Hurry up kid, this story ain't gunna write itself! 

This week we're joined by the incredible Jonny Potts, watching a VHS copy of The Hudsucker Proxy (1994), a Joel & Ethan Coen joint, written by them and their pal Sam Raimi. Have you stumbled across this little known flick starring Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Paul Newman?

If you enjoy Jonny Potts discussing VHS on our pod, you can hear him in more detail in his Fringe Festival show "The Best Show In Town Is At Your Place Every Night", a guided tour of the video shops of Wellington. On from 3-6 March at BATS Theatre 9pm, Jonny is a master storyteller and we can't wait to see what he has in store.
