Summary: <p><em>Hi, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1276475/">Achievers</a>! It’s almost the 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the classic film, The Big Lebowski! This episode is the first in a series that will explore psychological elements of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjWlOBhjAbs">colorful, charismatic characters</a> in this film. We began with an overview of connections between the Coen Brothers and the city where we live (Fargo). Then, we geeked out about some of our favorite aspects of the movie. Next, we discussed whether The Dude is experiencing cannabis use disorder or not. For more details on The Dude’s mental health, read our <a href="https://jedi-counsel.com/2016/07/18/diagnosing-the-dude/">full fictional evaluation of The Dude</a>. Finally, we concluded by speculating about where Walter Sobchak and The Dude would fall on each of the <a href="http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1745-6924.2008.00084.x">Big 5 personality traits</a>.
