P.S. I Love Hoffman: A Film By Film Retrospective of Philip Seymour Hoffman058 The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)Mock, YEAH! Ing, YEAH! Jay, YEAH! Episode, YEAH! Well, Part 1, anyway. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 marks Philip Seymour Hoffman's final full performance, as he passed away with one week left when filming Mockingjay Part 2. That's a topic for another podcast, though, and this episode is about Part 1... and we have some things to say. Joining this film's great ensemble is long-time friend and collaborator Julianne Moore; it's great to see them on screen together once again!

P.S. I Love Hoffman: A Film By Film Retrospective of Philip Seymour Hoffman057 A Most Wanted Man (2014)Hoff-fans, we're nearing the end and, with A Most Wanted Man, we get the last leading performance of our main man Philip Seymour Hoffman. The guys -- along with big PSH fan Kirkland Sheppard -- discuss (what Kirk calls) a "nuanced" performance that's masterfully executed by the big guy.

Joining us to talk about Moneyball this week, for his last (solo) at-bat, is CageClub Network Co-Founder Joey Lewandowski! While Joey and Brian school Kyle with their baseball knowledge, we also discuss translating a stat-filled book to the screen and a performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman that didn't please the person he was portraying, Oakland A's Manager Art Howe.2018-02-071h 30

P.S. I Love Hoffman: A Film By Film Retrospective of Philip Seymour Hoffman049 The Invention of Lying (2009)You might not get a whole lot of Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Invention of Lying, but you sure get a bountiful amount Ricky Gervais. After all, Gervais did write, direct, and star in this film, which creates a world where no one (except Ricky) can tell a lie. Oh, what a world that would be! Our main man (as Jim the Bartender) adds some humor, but it's still his smallest role yet. Don't worry, though, while this film may lack PSH, it's packed with other comedic cameos!2018-01-241h 13
