Thoughts from your host…
Welcome to 2018 – still no hoverboards.
My city was in a deep freeze this week, making it tough to brave the elements and get out of the house any more than necessary. Walking up the street to see a film took a few extra layers, and few extra doses of wherewithal…let alone driving across town to sit with friends and talk about the film.
With that in-mind, I am grateful for my guest this week. He made the trek downtown to rally-up twice in the cold (once to watch the film together, once more to record)…and both times it flew in the face of the desire to hibernate during this coldest, darkest time of year.
What’s more? Got a great film and a great episode out of it!
New questions for the guest await, as do comments about my wardrobe, and being skeptical over what we eat. Basically, as this podcast creeps towards 200, I find myself in good company…

If you like Campbell Scott, I recommend watching the third season of the TV series Damages, where he is the antagonist of the season (if you are unaware, the show had the core cast including Glenn Close and Rose Byrne, and then added various guest actors for each season’s storyline, which centered around a legal case)
This was a great listen. Loved the deep dive into Phantom Thread, by far my favorite flick of 2017. And I LOVE any and all discussion about Roger Dodger. I’ve always enjoyed Campbell Scott’s work and I agree with Sean above, if you like Scott, definitely check out S3 of Damages.
