The SAVE America Act is supposed to ensure the integrity of your vote, but President Trump also wants it to eliminate mail-in ballots which are widely popular in Colorado. Our Washington, D.C. reporter Caitlyn Kim updates the chances Congress will take action. Also, what's the impact if after-school funding is cut in Colorado? Then, Colorado's new women's soccer team, the Denver Summit, kicks off its inaugural season. Later, she grew up in Crested Butte, met Philip Seymour Hoffman in New York, and became a Hollywood producer whose film is up for 13 Academy Awards on Sunday. Plus, the lack of snow puts cross-country ski spots on edge, and a memory-filled goodbye to a long-standing community gathering place in Boulder, the World Famous Dark Horse. 

We're continuing our series examining the films of 90's auteurs, Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson! This time Brian and Max are joined by playwright and our newest contributor, Keegon Schuett. We discuss the legacy of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams' questionable handjobs and, as always, the problematic behavior of Quentin Tarantino.

The Analysis crew returns for their annual Oscars extravaganza, and this year the stakes are high. Matt shows up in full Elphaba costume after losing alast years bet. What's on the line this year? The loset has to go full chili dog hot dog experiment like Liam Neeson in Naked Gun, all while painted as "Hot Frankenstein Jacob Elordi. Bob is cautiously optimistic about the Academy for the first time in years, and Hollywood correspondent Spencer Davis joins live from the chaos of Oscar weekend to break down one of the most unpredictable races in recent memory. Across a packed slate of categories, the trio debates the biggest battles of the night—from the Sinners vs. One Battle After Another showdown for Best Picture, to a wild Best Actor race featuring Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Wagner Moura. They dive deep into the craft categories, argue about the chaotic shorts races that make or break ballots, and break down why this year's nominations represent a rare mix of blockbuster spectacle and intimate filmmaking. Along the way, they discuss the potential career-crowning Oscar for Paul Thomas Anderson, the cultural impact of K-Pop Demon Hunters, the emotional devastation of this year's documentary lineup, and why some races might come down to pure momentum in the final days of voting. It's predictions, debates, hot takes, and Oscar chaos—plus a few existential questions like: Should PTA have won years ago? Is Timothée Chalamet his own worst enemy? And what role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played in One Battle After Another? Grab your ballots and settle in—because by the end of the episode, the guys lock in their picks for every major category before the biggest night in Hollywood.

Bad Dads Film Review heads to the Italian Riviera this week for The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) — a sun-drenched, jazz-soaked psychological thriller where gorgeous people do terrible things, and the worst person in the room still somehow isn't the guy committing the murders.We follow Tom Ripley (Matt Damon), a small-time grifter with big social ambitions, who's handed a golden ticket: travel to Italy and convince trust-fund prince Dickie Greenleaf (prime Jude Law, unfairly beautiful) to come home. Tom doesn't just want Dickie's friendship — he wants Dickie's life. And once he's tasted that world of money, effortless charm, and endless leisure, he's willing to do whatever it takes to stay in it.What we talked about“Great Gatsby, but murderous”: Tom as the outsider who doesn't just observe the rich — he tries to become them (and wear their face if needed).The grift mechanics: the Princeton jacket con, the “research” phase, practicing mannerisms and music tastes, and how the film turns impersonation into a craft.The seduction of wealth: why you're weirdly happy to watch Tom infiltrate a circle of vapid, obscenely privileged characters.Obsession and desire: the homoerotic undertones, Tom's fixation on Dickie, and how the film frames identity as something you can steal… if you're ruthless enough.Set-piece escalation: the boat trip and the brutal turning point; the forged signatures, dual hotel check-ins, staged evidence, and the constant “one more lie to cover the last lie” tension.Freddy as the threat (Philip Seymour Hoffman): the first person with enough real-world instincts to sniff out “new money” fraud — and what happens when he pushes it.The ending sting: Tom “gets away with it”… but the price is isolation, paranoia, and the realization that the spoils aren't worth much when you can't live as yourself.Aging and attitudes: how the film plays in 2026 — including a chat about whether some of the sexuality/“homosexual as threat” framing feels dated.Plus: we somehow opened with a Top 5 Mats segment that should not work… and absolutely does.Standard Bad Dads warning: spoilers throughout, strong language, and the kind of moral compass that's been left outside on a bath mat since the Blair government.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Hosts Justin and Chuck revisit Boogie Nights, Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 breakout, a disco-charged epic of ambition, excess, ego, and collapse. They step back into the sun-soaked 1970s porn boom, into the orbit of Jack Horner, Dirk Diggler, and a makeshift family chasing fame, validation, and the next high. Along the way, they spotlight the film's powerhouse ensemble, Burt Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, each performance balancing swagger, insecurity, comedy, and heartbreak. From roaming long takes and explosive party sequences to needle-drop highs, mixtape moods, and the tonal crash into the 1980s, they unpack PTA's filmmaking choices while digging into the rise-and-fall arc, the pull of chosen family, the spiral of addiction, and the reason the film still resonates nearly three decades later.

Boogie Nights 1997 Review: 200 episodes in, and Born to Watch hits a milestone with a film that feels weirdly, uncomfortably autobiographical.From the moment Whitey declares this the perfect way to celebrate the show's 200th episode, it's clear this isn't just another movie review. Boogie Nights is loud, chaotic, hilarious, messy, strangely heartfelt and absolutely stacked with characters who think they're on top of the world until reality comes crashing in. In other words, it's the ideal Born to Watch film.Set against the late-70s and early-80s adult film industry, Paul Thomas Anderson's second feature is a sprawling ensemble piece that follows the rise and fall of Eddie Adams, reborn as Dirk Diggler. Mark Wahlberg's breakout performance anchors the film, but this is never just Dirk's story. It's about a group of outsiders who form a surrogate family, chasing success, validation and meaning, until excess, ego and changing times pull them apart.The boys dig into the idea that Boogie Nights is really two films stitched together, the euphoric disco-soaked rise of the 70s, followed by the darker, cocaine-fuelled collapse of the 80s. It's a tonal shift that mirrors the characters' journeys, from optimism and community to paranoia, loneliness and self-destruction. When Little Bill exits the film, everything changes, and the show explores how that moment symbolises the end of innocence for the entire group.There's plenty of love for the ensemble cast. Burt Reynolds' Jack Horner is discussed as both mentor and flawed father figure, a man clinging to an artistic vision while the industry evolves without him. Julianne Moore's Amber Waves is heartbreaking and layered, especially when the conversation turns to her custody battle and the illusion of freedom within the industry. John C Reilly, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham and William H Macy all get their flowers, with Hoffman's painfully awkward Scotty and Macy's tragic Little Bill standing out as performances that linger long after the credits roll.As always, the Born to Watch humour cuts through the heavy themes. There's banter, self-reflection, side-tracking, and more than a few laughs at the absurdity of certain scenes, including the legendary Alfred Molina drug-deal sequence, which the team agrees is one of the most anxiety-inducing moments PTA has ever put on screen.The episode also looks at Boogie Nights in context, how it landed in 1997 alongside juggernauts like Titanic and LA Confidential, why it underperformed at the box office, and how it grew into a cult classic that feels even richer with repeat viewings. It's a film you can dip in and out of, catch individual scenes, and still be completely absorbed.Ultimately, this Boogie Nights 1997 Review becomes a celebration, not just of the film, but of the journey Born to Watch has been on for 200 episodes. It's messy, honest, occasionally inappropriate, and full of love for movies that take big swings.And really, what better way to celebrate than strapping on the roller skates and heading back to the Valley?BORN TO WATCH – JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Boogie Nights Paul Thomas Anderson's most rewatchable film?Does the movie completely change once the 80s arrive?Which character hits hardest on a rewatch?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.au#BornToWatch #BoogieNights #PTA #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #CultCinema #1990sMovies #MovieReview #PodcastLife #200Episodes

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Hoy, continuamos con nuestro ciclo dedicado al gran Aaron Sorkin –ese maestro del diálogo afilado que nos hace creer que la política puede ser tan entretenida como un partido de tenis verbal–, nos sumergimos en Charlie Wilson's War, esa película del 2007 que, admitámoslo, no es la primera que viene a la mente cuando pensamos en su filmografía, pero que destila ese ingenio sorkiniano que tanto adoramos.Imaginemos el panorama: finales de los años 80, la Guerra Fría en su apogeo, y un congresista texano llamado Charlie Wilson –conocido como "Good Time Charlie" por su afición a las fiestas, el whiskey y las compañías femeninas– que, de repente, se convierte en el artífice de la operación encubierta más grande de la historia de la CIA. La película se basa en el libro homónimo de George Crile, un tomo de 500 páginas repleto de detalles históricos que Sorkin adaptó con maestría, condensando intrigas geopolíticas en diálogos que chisporrotean como fuegos artificiales. ¿Cómo llegó Sorkin al proyecto? Pues, en un raro acto de agresividad profesional –él mismo lo admite–, leyó el libro y lo persiguió con ahínco, convirtiéndolo en el único guion que ha "cazado" de esa manera. Y vaya si lo logró: su énfasis en los personajes imperfectos pero heroicos, como Wilson, que pasa de playboy a salvador de los muyahidines afganos, es puro Sorkin, recordándonos sus obras como The West Wing, donde la burocracia se vuelve poesía.Tom Hanks interpreta a Wilson con esa calidez hankiana que hace que hasta un político corrupto parezca simpático. Detrás de cámaras, el director Mike Nichols, en lo que sería su última película, aportó su toque magistral y supo manejar el caos de enemigos históricos colaborando –pakistaníes, israelíes, afganos– en la narrativa real, algo que el guion de Sorkin plasma con ironía sutil.Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Ned Beatty y Emily Blunt completan la constelación de estrellas de este filme que cuenta una historia tan absurda, que no puede sino ser cierta....¡Y lo es!La película fue bien recibida en general, con un 82% de aprobación en Rotten Tomatoes, donde se alaba cómo "entretiene e informa" gracias al guion astuto de Sorkin y actuaciones sólidas. Muchos críticos la vieron como una excelente comedia oscura basada en hechos reales, destacando a Hanks como un antihéroe encantador. Sin embargo, no todo fue aplausos: algunos la tildaron de "falsa y nada divertida", con "la peor actuación de la carrera de Roberts" En premios, brilló con 5 nominaciones a los Globos de Oro –mejor película comedia, actor para Hanks, actriz de reparto para Roberts, actor de reparto para Hoffman y guion para Sorkin–, más una nominación al Oscar para Hoffman como mejor actor de reparto. La Guerra de Charlie Wilson es, quizá, la película menos conocida y popular de Sorkin –eclipsada por hits como La Red Social o El Juicio de los 7 de Chicago–, y tal vez la más "floja" de su catálogo. Pero, no les quepa duda, incluso una "floja" de Sorkin es mejor que muchas de las producciones que inundan las pantallas hoy en día: cargada de inteligencia, humor sofisticado y una lección histórica que, con un guiño irónico, nos recuerda que la política puede ser absurdamente entretenida. ¿Listos para desentrañar más? ¡No se pierdan el episodio!Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten!#AaronSorkin⁠ ⁠#TomHanks⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#JuliaRoberts

We. Are. Back. At. It! We are here with the sense of SMELL and Eric's pick. This film was a complete blast to watch and we laughed quite a bit. Directed by Martin Brest, “Scent of a Woman.” This film stars Al Pacino, Chris O'Donnell, and Philip Seymour Hoffman and this film was interesting. With some crazy editing, wild dialogue, and intense acting, this film was fun to talk through. Issues of being blind, which sense we'd lose, depression, suicide, etc. We laughed a lot, hope you enjoy!Film Discussed: Scent of a Woman (1992)Letterboxd: Eric Peterson:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/EricLPeterson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Jared Klopfenstein:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/kidchimp/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ethan Jasso:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/e_unit7/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Caleb Zehr:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/cjzehr/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ricky Wickham:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/octopuswizard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Cody Martin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/codytmartin/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Here is a COMPLETE LIST of every film that we have done an episode for.

For the fifth time in the history of the podcast, Team Vintage Sand returns to one of its most popular formats: the Hidden Gems episode. As we did in episodes 11, 30, 40, and 53, Michael, John and I each choose one film to discuss that we feel has been underappreciated and overlooked by the madding crowd yearning to see anything besides a prequel, sequel, spinoff, or reboot. And while the episode features three films that could not be more different from one another, the one thing that they do have in common is that they are definitely movies made for grown-up sensibilities. Michael kicks things off by taking us back three decades to Nobody's Fool, a film written and directed by the great Robert Benton and featuring one of Paul Newman's best performances, which is saying something. Benton's script, as well as a ridiculously good cast featuring Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, a young Philip Seymour Hoffman and, in her final performance, the matchless Jessica Tandy, remind us of how unfortunate it was that this film, while not exactly overlooked, got lost in the Oscar tsunami that was Forrest Gump. I once again focus on an imperfect but powerful and prescient film, in this case Cary Joji Fukunaga's low-budget debut from 2009 Sin Nombre. Fukunaga tells the story of a young man from Chiapas and a young woman traveling with her uncle and father from Honduras who meet on the treacherous and often terrifying train ride through Mexico to the American border. A decade and a half before the dehumanization of people like Willy and Sayra became government policy, Fukunaga spares us nothing in showing us the humanity, resilience, strength, and decency of these people and why they feel compelled to make this almost suicidal journey just in the remote hope of finding a better life. Finally, John shines the spotlight on City Island, a sweet and gentle comedy from 2009 featuring Andy Garcia and Juliana Margulies as the parents of a family living in the titular unique and lovely section of the Bronx. The father, Vince, played by a charmingly understated Garcia, is a corrections officer with dreams of becoming the next Marlon Brando, and is taking an acting class (and eventually going to an audition) without telling anyone. But that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the secrets this family is keeping from one another. Featuring supporting performances by old pros like Alan Arkin (as Vince's acting teacher who hates pauses) and Emily Mortimer as a friend he makes in the class who may have secrets of her own, the film is a lovely slice of life that contrasts its uniquely placid setting with the universally complicated dynamics of family and of wrestling with both one's past and one's dreams. So please enjoy, go see the many great films that are playing in theaters as the year comes to a close, and have a peaceful and restful holiday!

It's a brand new season and that means Melanie and I are studying two new topics: narrative drive and conflict triangles. Conflict and page-turners are usually associated with action stories, thrillers and the like. But DOUBT is a quiet, character-driven film that is so expertly crafted it grabs the viewer's attention immediately and holds it right to the bitter end.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes dive into "Charlie Wilson's War" (2007), the sharp, witty, and surprisingly accessible political drama written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Mike Nichols.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this film for its stellar performances across the board; especially from Philip Seymour Hoffman, who steals every scene he's in. His portrayal of CIA operative Gust Avrakotos brings some of the best dialogue and energy in the film, including one of Field's favorite movie scenes of the last 30 years.The Mikes discuss how Sorkin's script delivers complex political maneuvering and historical context with humor and clarity, never getting bogged down in heavy-handed messaging while still hinting at the long-term consequences of the events depicted. Smart, funny, and full of quotable lines, "Charlie Wilson's War" stands as both an engaging character study and a reminder of how power, charm, and ego can shape history.

Interview with Rebecca Pidgeon. Rebecca returns to talk about her new album Unillusion.   Rebecca Pidgeon was born in Cambridge, MA and raised primarily in Edinburgh, Scotland, gravitating towards music as a child. Mom and Dad introduced her to the likes of James Taylor, while she eventually discovered both Kate Bush and The Sex Pistols on her own. She fronted the band Ruby Blue for three records before relocating to the United States where she launched her solo career. Fan favorite albums followed including The Raven (1994), The New York Girls' Club (1996), The Four Marys (1998), Tough On Crime (2000), and Behind the Velvet Curtain (2008), four songs appearing in the critically acclaimed film Red Belt. The ensuing decade saw her release Slingshot (2011), Blue Dress On (2013), Bad Poetry (2014), and Sudden Exposure to Light (2019). Praising the latter, American Songwriter affirmed, “She's the real deal,” and Glide Magazine noted, “Pidgeon's prolific work as a songwriter and vocalist is akin to the self- immersion she undertakes for her mesmerizing performances on camera.” In addition, she has captivated audiences on-screen as a much sought-after film and television actress. Among dozens of credits, she has appeared in celebrated classics such as The Spanish Prisoner (1997), State and Main (2000), and Heist (2001) opposite the likes of Gene Hackman, William H. Macy, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Additionally, she has appeared in blockbusters a la Red (2010) and NETFLIX's Bird Box (2018), to name a few. Unillusion offers eloquent testimony to Rebecca Pidgeon's continuing power as a storyteller on stage, screen or the recording studio with an uncanny ability to blend narrative depth and musical intimacy in a way that feels both timeless and current.

In the second installment of John's conversation with Cameron Crowe about his new memoir, “The Uncool,” the Oscar-winning writer-director explores his relationship with legendary rock critic Lester Bangs (and casting Philip Seymour Hoffman to play him in “Almost Famous”); the previously unacknowledged teenage suicide of his elder sister and how it fed into the complex family dynamics that compelled him to spend much of his adolescence on the road with rock stars; the end of his career as a music journalist at age 21; how writing “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” helped Crowe reclaim his lost youth and opened the door to Hollywood; and how Tom Cruise convinced him not to cut the most famous line in "Jerry Maguire."

Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.On the occasion of Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film One Battle After Anotherin theaters, we look back at the director's ambitious, unwieldy, and under-loved 1999 feature Magnolia starring a massive ensemble that includes returning PTA collaborators Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, Melora Walters, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy and Philip Baker Hall alongside a career-best Tom Cruise in a showstopper supporting turn that would net him his third (and, to date, last) Academy Award nomination for a performance. Still his longest, most sprawling effort, Magnolia is a definitively Paul Thomas Anderson picture in both milieu and concern setting its sights on flawed, idiosyncratic characters living in and around the San Fernando Valley. But Magnolia also represents a distinctive pivot in Andersons career, as he begins to operate in a decidedly more minor key that would come to define the second act of his career in the 21st century.We begin with a thorough examination of Paul Thomas Anderson as filmmaker, his strengths and his shortcomings. Then, we ask an obvious, but slyly difficult question - What exactly is Magnolia about? Finally, we discuss the film as it relates to Anderson's oeuvre, how it informs and supplements his later work and how its flaws become more apparent as his filmography evolves.Read Nick Pinkerton's piece The Master? at The Point....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

Today we sit down with the incredible journeyman actor Mark Pellegrino, who after four decades in the business continues to embody what it means to be a true working actor. Mark shares unforgettable audition stories, including his famously bold move of performing a seven-page monologue that earned him one of the greatest compliments of his career and led to booking A Murder of Crows.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we talk about maybe the greatest actor who ever lived: Philip Seymour Hoffman. But seriously, did Hoffman ever give a bad performance? We talk about it! Conor and I are back and our Philip Seymour Hoffman B-Sides are Leap of Faith, Owning Mahowny, Pirate Radio, and Jack Goes Boating. We go through his whole filmography, spot-checking the crucial moments throughout his career. We briefly discuss his Oscar-winning performance in Capote, his iconic supporting turn in Along Came Polly, and his Oscar-nominated role in Charlie Wilson's War. There's also an admiration at the power he wielded with silence, and an examination into why The Master is his acting masterpiece. Additionally, we remain astonished by the career of John Patrick Shanley (writer/director of Doubt), we celebrate the upcoming Greenland 2: Migration, and the ability of Richard Curtis to squeeze earnest sentimentality out of garish manipulation. There's also chat about Seth Rogen, who lost out to Hoffman for the role of The Count in Pirate Radio and was approached by Hoffman to star in Jack Goes Boating, until Hoffman played the role himself. Rogen discussed these things himself on a recent Blank Check podcast episode.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is a towering figure in American cinema whose death in 2014 left a big gaping hole in the culture. I really think there has never been anyone really like him, before or since, on the screen. In this conversation, Justin Rogers-Cooper joins me to reflect on Hoffman's body of work, the particular power he brought to his performances in a wide range of movies, and the profound legacy he occupies in our “cringe” era.
