Nobody's Fool (1994)
Listen now
Description
Tim and Rick discuss the 1994, Paul Newman vehicle, Nobody's Fool (currently streaming on Amazon Prime). Why? Because Philip Seymour Hoffman could take a one dimensional character and give them a three-dimensional punch (he also gets punched. FUN!). What's up with the script for this film? Why is there a character called Whacker? What do minor roles accomplish in a story? Is this the most accurate portrayal of a cop we've seen in years? What's the difference between a first person actor and a third person actor? Has there ever been more random nudity in a film? How do you embrace your own style as an actor? All that and more in this fourth episode of "That's That: A Philip Seymour Hoffman Retrospective". This episode's guest is friend, filmmaker, and film professor, Rick Negron. You can follow Rick on Instagram.  "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 Peter John and Bortex.  Our next episode is on the 2007 melodramatic thriller, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, currently streaming on HBO. A film featuring PSH at the peak of his career and co-starring oft quoted (on this podcast) friend and collaborator, Ethan Hawke.
