Dan kicks us off with an anec-dan about his parking ticket travesty and segues us directly into the 1998 classic, The Truman Show. A beautiful, thought-provoking movie that both of your hosts can't express enough love for. Stay tuned until the end for a special listening party of the sonic mastery Philip Glass adorned upon this film... as long as you can hear it over the clips.

In this episode of the podcast, Dan and Sam delve into Paul's masterpiece: My Best Friend's Wedding. Dan takes this movie very personally and is truly upset. We also open some listener mail!

Sam and Dan continue their quest by watching Private Parts - featuring the break out role of Paul Giamatti. Inspired by the true story of Howard Stern, the podcast quickly devolves in sex talk. And a lot of it. This is your warning.

The quest to watch all the roles of Paul Giamatti continues! Sam and Dan watch Donnie Brasco - an Italian gangster movie where Paul plays an FBI Technician. On top of that, Sam shares a story about punching a man in a bar who would not stop humping him... Forget about it!

The first part of our 1997 series looks at Paul's role in Deconstructing Harry. We talk about his appearance on The Late Show, how Tobey Maguire plays a horny, young version of Woody Allen, and Dan's death and rebirth at Osheaga.

The biggest conflict of the Giamatti podcast occurs when we cannot find one of Paul's movie. We do however talk about his cameo in Before And After which features a moustached Alfred Molina and even more emotionally-charged dialogue about food.

We talk the movies Mighty Aphrodite and Sabrina - the two biggest movies of 1995. We discuss cinema's favourite hooker, Judy Cum, and Harrison Ford's love of fibre-optic cables.

We discuss Paul's earliest cameos - including his debut role as a (debatably) mentally handicapped stableboy. We also learn some sexy tips from the murder-man in the movie Past Midnight.

In this episode, Dan and Sam introduce the podcast and talk format. The first real episode of the podcast will be released next week. It will feature a discussion around Paul Giamatti and his roles in She'll Take Romance, Past Midnight and Singles. Get excited for this adventure!
