I recently watched the Coen brothers' 1994 film, The Hudsucker Proxy. Part spoof of Capra films and old-fashioned screwball comedies and part neon flashing sign for what's happening in the modern era, it's a movie worth watching.

⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead.

➡️ Mussburger's "pump and buy" scheme feels eerily similar to what is happening across the US economy right now. Are we being primed for Agenda 2030?

➡️ The mass media and Corporate America work in tandem to create a narrative for the public.

➡️ The mailroom scenes are as good as Office Space vis-à-vis the repetitive, overly important, soul-crushing experience of a job in the corporate grind.

There's a bit of scratchiness with the audio in places. I am not sure why. I think my shirt collar may have rubbed against the microphone when it was clipped on. I apologize. 😣
