# Episode #318 – Hudson Hawk, with Roman Mars

Did you think we wouldn’t pull out all the stops for [Max Fun Drive 2020](https://maximumfun.org/join)? More fool you! Because in this episode, we discuss legendary Hollywood flop and Bruce Willis passion project, [Hudson Hawk](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102070/)! And to discuss this momentous film, we’re joined by [Roman Mars](https://www.romanmars.com/), of the blockbuster design podcast [99% Invisible](https://www.romanmars.com/radio), the man many have called “The Hudson Hawk of Podcasting.”* (The character Hudson Hawk. Not the movie Hudson Hawk. Because the character is so good at his job. Like Roman. Who is good at podcasting. Like Hudson Hawk is with stealing stuff.)

 *No one calls him this.
