* Even though Seth’s trap was inescapable, Seth still believed he could’ve escaped. He only learned it was rigged against him after the fact. The rule I’m following is that I’m excluding people who, during the game, were aware that they had no control over their fate.
* Hoffman’s game was when John blackmailed him into becoming his apprentice. The shotgun chair scene.

The organizing principle in my mind for the tone and the comedy in [Only Murders in the Building] is “New York City.” New York holds it all: You can have something hugely dramatic happening when you step outside of your building in New York that’s upsetting and deeply concerning, and you have people grabbing onto each other that you never even knew before who are experiencing something as a unit. Once we squared on the tone of the show as New York City, you could have your cake and eat it too with these comedic geniuses. What if the cat is in the freezer? You can play a scene with Steve Martin discovering a cat in the freezer and having to pull it out and one of the legs snaps off and now he’s putting it in his pocket. But that scene has to be married with something deeply grounding: He then encounters Oliver in a very low moment where he’s going to sell the valuable poster of his hugest failure on Broadway. It’s absurdist, but both things are being held at once. It all has to be in good measure and give the audience what they want, but it has to be organically true to the narrative we’re building. That’s the joy of this show: It can go a lot of different directions, and you never know where it’s going to go from one moment to the next.

280 - State and Main
Forgotten cinema, you ask? This week, we're coming to you with 2000's State and Main, a Hollywood satire and ensemble comedy from lauded playwright David Mamet. A farce about a film production wreaking havoc on small town America, the film featured a very Mametian cast of Alec Baldwin and William H. Macy along with of-the-moment stars on the rise like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Julia Stiles. An ensemble win from the National Board of Review helped coast the film through the season, but it managed little other award mentions despite strong reviews.
This episode, we talk about David Mamet's high (but waning) regard in the American theatre in contrast to his more under-the-radar film reputation. We also talk about PSH's late-90s breakthrough years, SJP's reign over the Globes for Sex and the City, and WHM's surprising lack of an Oscar nomination since Fargo.
Topics also include "so that happened" as a punchline, Fine Line Features, and NBR giving Best Picture to Quills.
