Summary

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their exploration of 2004's SIDEWAYS directed by Alexander Payne and starring Paul Giamatti, Virginia Madsen, Thomas Haden Church and Sandra Oh. A wonderful time capsule of a film that was a surprising hit for everyone involved garnering 5 Academy Award nominations with a win for Best Adapted Screenplay and changing the wine industry forever. This episode picks up right after Jack has told Miles about Victoria's marriage.
