Plot Holes Podcast is all about film and the people who make film great. Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of those greats who made film come to life and who made a home in our memories with the characters he portrayed.  In the coming weeks, Plot Holes will do a special tribute episode to Mr. Hoffman and the movies he made. Until then, take some time to remember a performance or even watch an entire film in which Philip Seymour Hoffman put his incredible talent to work. I know we will be.

There are things that are more important to the character of Lex Luthor than his age, physical stature and bald dome. Luthor is driven by a complex combination of ego and fear. Ego, because he’s a genius whose admittedly brilliant schemes are frequently thwarted by that blue-suited boy scout known as Superman. Fear, because in many incarnations of the character, Luthor genuinely sees Superman as a threat to Earth and believes that he is completely and totally justified in trying to take him out of the picture.

The Mark Zuckerberg/Lex Luthor jokes have already begun flying, but there’s a only a thin line between the DC’s universe’s Big Bad and Eisenberg’s Oscar-nominated take on Facebook’s CEO. Eisenberg may not fit the tough, wizened Luthor we were expecting (Mark Strong! Bryan Cranston!), but he can play egotistical in his sleep. More importantly, his work in ‘The Social Network’ showed that he can play a egotist whose sarcasm and biting remarks mask not only total genius, but a deep fear and self-loathing. Eisenberg’s Luthor probably won’t need any of that self-loathing, but it’s easy to see him finding the terror and anger that really drives Superman’s nemesis.

What’s important is that Eisenberg can capture the real Luthor, and we think he can. Few actors wield words as weapons quite like him. Few actors can inflate themselves with such sudden and powerful self-importance on screen. He’s a wolf masquerading as a sheep.

Our guess: It'll be a more political based story possibly dealing with the Red Scare, McCarthyism, on-going nuclear tests, and the paranoia associated with anti-communism.

A lot of classic horror films came out of the 1950's due to the deepening paranoia associated with the Soviet Union so it's hard to tell exactly what the horror element might be. The early 50's were full of concerns involving the side effects of nuclear testing to covert spy missions to even UFO and alien attacks. 

There were early rumors that the next season of AHS might be set in New Mexico. If this is true, little green men might not be too far of a stretch. 

Though...if anything in the year 1950 is up for grabs.. Shirley Temple did retire that year and I'm sure that upset a lot of people.  

“It’s set in 1950,” Murphy reveals exclusively to EW. “If you look historically what happened in the year 1950, there’s some more clues in that year. It’s a period piece. We try and do the opposite of what we’ve done before. Jessica Lange has already started practicing her German accent so I’m very excited!”

EPISODE 5!! That's nearly half way to 10 and in this episode, Will and Bryce attempt to bring it all the way to eleven by covering such topics as Hart's Island of the dead in New York to The Bill of Rights! Will and Bryce also apologize for last weeks show and give a quick review of The Hobbit all in one breath. In a few decades, we all might be socially inept but Will and Bryce are already there! That's a complement, right? Don't forget to give the show its much needed feedback by rating us on iTunes and by dropping us a comment either on iTunes or on our website.
