About this episode
GGACP marks the 30th anniversary of 1994's "The Hudsucker Proxy" (released March 11,1994) with this ENCORE presentation of a 2020 interview with Oscar-winning actor, director and musician Tim Robbins. In this episode, Tim talks about the "New Hollywood" of the '70s, the genius and generosity of Robert Altman, the timeliness of Depression-era screwball comedies and the enduring appeal of "The Shawshank Redemption." Also, Gore Vidal steals the show, Richard Pryor plays The Gaslight Cafe, Orson Welles locks horns with William Randolph Hearst and Tim (fondly) remembers Paul Newman, Don Rickles and Robin Williams. PLUS: "Cradle Will Rock"! "Howard the Duck"! Monty Python comes calling! And Tim weighs in on the future of movie theaters!
