Publisher's Synopsis
What made Philip Seymour Hoffman the best actor of his generation? Who is perhaps the best actress of her own generation? Is Ridley Scott correct when he says one of his recent movies is like 2001: A Space Odyssey on steroids? Who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in the 1970s and still stars in a ubiquitous modern horror franchise? From 2012-2017, Brian Callahan has explored answers to these and other off-kilter questions in essays about contemporary and classic movies on the site BMC's Film Blog (formerly known as PSH for President). PSH, PTA, and Batman, Oh My! collects the best of these articles, with several new pieces heretofore unpublished, hopefully enjoyed, and very hush hush.
