When A Man Loves a Woman (1994)

Tim and Samantha discuss the 1994 romantic drama When A Man Loves a Woman, currently streaming on Prime. Why? Because 2-scene-Phil is just the cutest thing you've ever seen. Is this movie kinda great? How are Meg Ryan's dramatic chops? What are the best parts of Phil's performance? What's the deal with addiction and sobriety? All that and maybe a little bit more in this fifteenth episode of "That's That: A Philip Seymour Hoffman Retrospective Podcast."

This episode's guest is crowd favorite and new dog owner Samantha Sweeting Davis. Samantha has lots of recommendations for those interested in stories, questions, and answers around sobriety. Here are a handful starting with some books (all also available to get through your local library):

A Piece of Cake: A Memoir by Cupcake Brown
