Episode 105 – AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

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…   Runtime 79 minutes Up for Discussion 1.
