“That movie got me. I was trying not to let it get me, but it got me. I was trying not to cry out loud, but it got me.” That was the word on “We Are Marshall” from talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who discussed the film with star Matthew McConaughey on her program Wednesday. The segment began with a synopsis of the film and brief clips, many of which have been shown in trailers and other promotional materials. Two scenes were shown, one of McConaughey as coach Jack Lengyel and Matthew Fox as Red Dawson talking about the future of the team. The other showed McConaughey encouraging the 1971 team before their first home game against Xavier University. This same scene was shown during a Marshall home game in October.

The video isn’t up yet, but I did receive a perma-link to where a clip of Matthew on The Hour will be posted by tomorrow AM. Visit the official cbc.ca here to watch in the morning. Thanks Rick!
Head over to The Boston Herald to read a new interview with Matthew where he discusses Saturday Night Live and speculation about the demise of Dr. Jack. This interview has also been archived in the print interviews section. The dashing Matthew Fox may be best known as Dr. Jack Shephard on ABC’s “Lost,” but he was in town yesterday (Dec. 5) to talk about his new movie “We Are Marshall,” which opens Dec. 22. Also starring Matthew McConaughey, the movie is about Marshall University’s attempt to rebuild its football program after 75 people were killed in a plane crash 36 years ago as the team was returning to West Virginia from a game. . . . Speaking of “Lost,” the show’s executive producer, Carlton Cuse, and his wife, Christiane, a former Dana-Farber patient, have donated a tour of the hit show’s set in Hawaii for the cancer institute’s “Online Holiday Auction.” Bidding for the tour, which includes plane tickets and a hotel stay for four days, was at $10,000 yesterday.
