Tim and Jon discuss the 2012 drama, A Late Quartet, currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Why? Because Philip Seymour Hoffman was the quintessential every man who was never considered an every man. How did these actors do on the instruments? Is talking about log lines every episode stupid? Was this film overlooked because it came out the same year as The Master? Did PSH ever gripe about playing so many supporting roles? Or did he relish playing second fiddle? How do you know if you're any good at something? How can you know if you don't compare yourself to others? How do you keep your humanity in the midst of it all? All that and more in this seventh episode of "That's That: A Philip Seymour Hoffman Retrospective".
This episode's guest is friend and writer, Jon Povilonis. You can find Jon in the real world. Say hi. He'll say hi back.
"That's That" is sponsored by One County Film Company, produced and hosted by Timothy Mark Davis, edited by Ryan Arnst, with show music composed by Jessica Rae Huber, and artwork by Drew Hanagen. Additional music from ANBR and Borrtex.
