In 1994, indie darlings Joel and Ethan Coen went for the big time with a playful pastiche of classic Hollywood movies that pulled out every visual and comedic stop…and still crashed and burned at the box office. Host Rico Gagliano tells the story of the soaring Coen brothers movie that paved the way for the flatlands of Fargo (1996). Guests include Hudsucker’s legendary cinematographer, Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049, 2017), acclaimed film podcaster Karina Longworth (You Must Remember This), and more.
The latest season of the MUBI Podcast, Box Office Poison, dives into six visionary films...that were also notorious flops. Inspired by the new book of the same name by Tim Robey, film critic for The Telegraph, each episode takes a wild ride through a great movie’s rise, fall, and rise.
