On this Lebowskiesque episode of Oeuvre Busters, Liam and George discuss the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski, from the Clinton-era year of 1998, and starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and, of course, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Topics discussed: the failures of the New Left; Manifest Destiny; the first, and surprisingly not the worst, Gulf War; and, of course, bowling. Topics not discussed? The feminist ethos of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels. They are great! Read them! But we ain't discussing them here, sorry. You can find more OB content at www.oeuvrebusters.com!
