Paul is always so genuine. In conversation, he surfs on sincerity, avoiding the rocky shoals of insincere and glib platitudes.
Giamatti is one of very few actors I will watch unconditionally. I don't care what the film is or what the TV series is about. If it has Giamatti in it it's likely going to be good and worth checking out.
I loved PG’s insight into the armour that intellectuals/teachers hide behind, that masks their insecurities and damage.
Gee, Tom, any private school with any history in Canada is like this. There are tons of them. Here on Vancouver Island I can think of at least 4 in my rural area.
This movie will make it into my holiday classics I feel - it felt cozy.
it has an understated melancholy that resonates with how I feel during the holiday
@@jasonchristenson1 Well said!
Love Q with Tom! And Paul, fascinating interview
I love Paul’s podcast, Chinwag. Funny, smart, talented yet grounded guy.
I could watch this over 10 times and more! Such a cool interview and interaction with Tom.
Acting IS a form of teaching!
The man myth legend Paul Giamatti
20:35 Woulda never thought Paul Giamatti would know, let alone be a fan, of Glenn Howerton from It's Always Sunny! (an underrated actor on a top sitcom that never got its flowers at the awards)
so excited to see the holdovers when it's released to stream in the uk ❤
I got to see The Holdovers in the theater last November and I loved it! I hope that you enjoy it too!
I saw Paul's smile on the thumbnail (he is so pleasant ) and I had to watch this! Sorry Tom - oh ...eh .... um .... yeah , uh-huh ... yes, I watched to see you too ...... What a pleasant interview/conversation - such fun to listen to "both" of you!
The Graduate came out in the 1960s. Don’t you think if you’re interviewing movie actors that you should know something about movies? Geez…. The cinematography, credits, etc., were so 70s that I got it immediately, and was totally amazed by it. So many movies trying to capture the past put it in your face and practically scream “Look at me, I take place in the early 70s.” That also includes TV series like Mad Men and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. This movie was much more natural about it, not showy. Costumes, hair, makeup - all top-notch. Great period soundtrack, too.
What the hell Tom! The Dominion of Newfoundland is both home and the anchor of our souls. :-)
Falstaff character? Love it?
