Do not adjust your set – this episode of The Matineecast begins slightly different than normal.

As it happened, I was midway through editing this post when the sad news about Philip Seymour Hoffman came down. Like so many of you, I was both shocked and saddened. His career had come so far in such a short time, I believed that we were seeing the beginning of something…never that we would so quickly witness its end. As I thought about Seymour Hoffman and his amazing body of work, my brain soon drifted to the part he plays in my all-time favorite film.

The rather crucial part he plays in my all-time favorite film.

So I thought it fitting that The Matineecast mourn Philip by starting this episode with a beautiful moment of his from that film. They are words to live by, and while they might have originally been Lester Bangs’, or Cameron Crowe’s, they are also – in so many ways – Phil Seymour Hoffman’s.

 

Here’s what’s in store in episode one-hundred-and-five…

  1. This was a lot of movie analyzing fun! I may have to revisit my top 10 great films you only want to see once list. Keep up the good work Ryan!

    1. You did good buddy – thanks again for being such a great guest and for spreading the word.
      Got an idea for the feedback question? Your cast of a heist film?

  3. I saved some shockers from actually telling you at that pub night. Tell me which one you would pick out of everything I told you and I will watch it.

    Anyway as for a heist film I would take the Seven Samurai in 1954 and just transplant them as the crew of a heist film. Alternatively the Wild Bunch.
