Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 256: Zoe Saldaña - "Emilia Pérez" (2024)We’re finally talking about this year’s perplexing Oscars frontrunner Emilia Pérez! Is it absolutely El Mal? Well, Zoe Saldaña certainly deserves the BSAs this awards season, Édgar Ramirez is a total babe and Adriana Paz is a welcomed addition as Best Supporting Epiphania. But the more you know about this movie, the more you realize it’s giving Tommy Wiseau energy with a French twist and will more likely end up a pop culture punchline than best picture of the year.

Our second Birthday Girl’s choice is the 21st century’s answer to Citizen Kane, “The Room”! Tommy Wiseau’s Johnny may be a beloved local figure and frequent favorite customer who is also up for a promotion at the bank, but his fiancé Lisa finds him boring and prefers his bearded best friend Mark. She’s also not concerned at all about her mother Claudette’s breast cancer diagnosis, and is totally fine with Mike and Michelle using their apartment to hookup. Denny might even stop by to borrow the ingredients for a small pound cake...2025-02-121h 20Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 254: It's Time to Talk About "The Lonely Lady"It’s Birthday Girl’s Choice this week, and in the words of Veronica Randall, some people want everything! We are diving into the 1983 camp classic “The Lonely Lady,” starring the Frances McDormand of the Razzies, Pia Zadora as the tragically determined Jerilee Randall on her sleazy quest for Hollywood fame. She has a mercurial mother, a husband three times her age, a loyal gay friend, a cocaine fueled affair with the owner of Kick’s, more than one predatory lesbian experience and one of the greatest nervous breakdowns in movie history. You’ll never look at a garden hose the same way...2025-02-071h 11Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 253: The BSAs of "Sing Sing" (2024)We’re sing singing the praises of 2024’s feel good tearjerker about a prison theater program, “Sing Sing”! Colman Domingo should be a Best Actor Oscar frontrunner this year, with Clarence Maclin and Sean San Jose in the Best Supporting Actor category (to say nothing of Dino and Charlie stealing the show and our hearts). This may be the least actressy movie we’ve ever discussed but easily one of the most emotional.

This 2024 coming of age story is familiar territory for PEN15 fans but full of small surprises, some standout ensemble performances and a surprisingly emotional use of 2008 era technology. Joan Chen may not be on the Oscars shortlist where she belongs this year (and she’s also not in The Joy Luck Club), but she is a must-see BSA of 2024.

"Tea With the Dames” may not be high in caffeine, but is instead a warm mug of chamomile on a rainy afternoon with a champagne chaser.

Despite the stacked ensemble cast of Oscar winners and nominees, only Rosie O’Donnell gets to steal the show for a couple minutes while Uma Thurman, Mira Sorvino, Annabeth Gish, Lauren Holly and Martha Plimpton get to play girlfriends and love interests and Natalie Portman is the literal girl next door in a very uncomfortable subplot that truly signals our retreat from bro movies next month.

Not a couples counselor in sight as four broken people bump traumas and look for love in all the wrong strip clubs. Clive Owen and Natalie Portman both got best supporting Oscar nominations, but we’re equally intrigued with Julia Roberts in one of her less-discussed roles, while Jude Law is a shadow of the hunk he played in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

(1996)The rise and fall of the one-hit Wonders is packed with chart-topping performances and is a platinum record in our books! This week we’re fangirling over 1996’s “That Thing You Do”, with Tom Hanks doing triple duty as director, writer and co-star, Steve Zahn running away with the movie, Tom Everett Scott appreciating jazz, Charlize Theron, Obba Babatunde, Rita Wilson, Alex Rocco, Chris Isaak, Kevin Pollack and even Bryan Cranston making a meal out of a cameo. At the heart of it all is Liv Tyler’s Faye, that brilliant soundtrack, and the continually missed opportunity to adapt this as a music...2024-10-111h 03Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 239: "Unfaithful" (2002)Honestly, we just felt like talking about “Unfaithful” this week! It’s got strong fall vibes, an Oscar nominated Diane Lane, Kate Burton in the Friend role, a face journey on the Metro North, wind machines at a 27, that song in the trailer and two beloved BSAs in practically nonexistent cameos.

Tammy Blanchard channels one of the greatest moments in this podcast’s history, Sandra Oh is a best supporting featured ensemble, and we have a lot to say about Debbie.

(With a surprising scoop of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and an important connection to “Scream 2”!) Despite its spooky undertones (and Roald Dahl roots), “Matilda” is also an enthralling coming of age story featuring small legend Mara Wilson, Embeth Davidtz’s Icon to the Introverted, Miss Honey, TV royalty Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, Best Supporting Jean Speegel Howard and Pam Ferris tearing the scenery from limb to limb as Trunchbull.

Lindsay Lohan gets the Nancy Meyers treatment twice over in her film debut, and Lisa Ann Walter makes denim shirts and Dockers iconic as Best Supporting Chessy. Plus Elaine Hendrix feasting on the evil future stepmother role, an unflinchingly cool Natasha Richardson, a number of clearly gay men, one of the Flo’s, an implacably off-putting Dennis Quaid, London in the 90s, Alan Silvestri and the lost art of a theme, and one brief tangent on Rizzoli & Isles.

We first run through the roster of our own childhood favorites as former Nickelodeon kids, and spend some time talking about how great A Little Princess and A League of their Own are. Speaking of which, Rosie O’Donnell as Old Golly completely makes up for that time she rode the bus with her sister. Plus Harriet’s mom, Janie’s mom, a slew of references and referenced moments (“good soup”), the SLAP, the joy of revenge and the power of writing. And E...2024-08-161h 04Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 232: Bonnie Hunt - "Jumanji" (1995)We’re kicking off what has turned into an annual tradition because we’ve now done it twice, Family Movie Month! This week we’re buying an old mansion with Bebe Neuwirth, rolling the dice with Kirsten Dunst and remembering a time when Bonnie Hunt was seemingly always on our televisions with 1995’s “Jumanji”! We also get a pitch perfect Patricia Clarkson making a meal out of the mom role, a pre-law Laura Bell Bundy, Jonathan Pryce getting the Home Alone treatment, best supporting screams from David Alan Grier and James Horner’s score sweeping us away like a living room monsoon...2024-08-091h 15Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 231: "This is Morocco."A month of international interpersonal dramas between the Real Housewives of New York ends with the Season 4 melodrama that is Morocco.

Ramona spends the afternoon dodging Elyse as an opening act before Luann takes center stage in, once again, a cabaret related drama, this time with an underpaid and overserved Sonja.

And there’s no better example of that than the Season 7 episode “London Calling” when cool Carole and a debut season Dorinda go to London to retrieve the ashes of Carole’s late husband. It’s an A24 movie begging to be made starring Vera Farmiga and Edie Falco, and features that Delta Lounge, the BONK heard round the world, a Razzie for Father Darius and that best supporting tea service.

But it’s also babe city with Ed Harris in that vest, Gary Sinise leaning against that car, Kevin Bacon’s elusive butt, a southern fried Bill Paxton and a baby faced Tom Hanks post-Gump and that line of hair. We also give some love to Ron Howard’s mom, learn a little about Rob Roy, make a very important stop on Ransom, and finally, we rank the babes.

Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are iconically indelible (especially the Romy voice), but we also get cigarette acting from Jeneane Garafalo, Elaine Hendrix as a power lesbian Sue Snell, Julia Campbell’s cruel Christie (the way she eats that burger though!), and Camryn Mannheim in those braces.

We get to see Annie Sullivan in a whole new light as the OG cougar Mrs. Robinson, one of our favorite Stepford Wives as her unwitting daughter Elaine, the mayor from Jaws in a surprisingly fascinating role as the spurned husband, Roz from 9 to 5 and Mr Feeney putzing around in the pool, a no nonsense Norman Fell, Dick Lemon working the front desk and at the center of it all, Tootsie as Ben Braddock the epitome of midcentury modern ennui.

Duke and Anne Bancroft deservedly both won Oscars in this portrayal of Helen Keller’s arduous journey to learn not only how to read and speak but the concept of words and letters. And also discipline and table manners, much to the dismay of her coddling mother Kate (best supporting Inga Swenson) and Aubrey List inductee Captain Keller, which gives us the iconic 1...2024-05-241h 08Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 221: The BSAs of "Valley of the Dolls" (1967)We are ascending the Mr Everest of camp this week to plunge into 1967’s “Valley of the Dolls”! While not necessarily a good movie, it is still a GREAT movie, with Patty Duke absolutely sparkling as Neely (especially when it comes to conquering Cystic Fibrosis!), Barbara Parkins laying on the beach briefly, everything Susan Hayward does in that bathroom but especially the iconic wig reveal, Lee Grant as the potentially lesbian sister/manager or a fated nightclub singer and Best Supporting Sharon Tate getting some of the most iconic lines of the movie.

Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi joined a competitive race for Best Supporting Actress against Abigail Breslin’s Rick James inspired dance moves, a scandalous Blanchett shoving Judi Dench into a credenza and a Dreamgirl, and I am telling you I might have given it to Adriana Barraza that year for what she did in that desert! Cate spends much of her time on the floor in Morocco but she and Brad Pitt get one of the best scene...2024-05-031h 15Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 219: Marcia Gay Harden - "Pollock" (2000)We were so full of Marcia Gay Pride from last week’s episode that it was time to break a decades long blacklisting of “Pollock” to discuss her dark horse Oscar win as Lee Krasner in Ed Harris’s punch drunk biopic of Jackson Pollock. We also get Amy Madigan going full Ullman, Jennifer Connelly as Worst Supporting Ruth, John Heard from "The Sopranos", a wacky cameo from Val Kilmer that takes us down a plastic surgery rabbit hole, to say nothing of the "Uncle Buck" digression we eventually get to, as well as our thoughts on what makes biopics work or...2024-04-261h 15Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 218: Marcia Gay Harden & Laura Linney - "Mystic River" (2003)We’re shipping up to Boston this week for 2003’s modern day Greek tragedy, “Mystic River”! Sean Penn and Tim Robbins both took home Oscars for their rag-wrung performances, and Marcia Gay Harden was well and truly robbed of her second Oscar as the tortured Celeste. We’re of differing opinions on Laura Linney’s low-key Lady Macbeth, but eye to eye on the welcomed presence of Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne, Smalls from The Sandlot, queen Jenny O’Hara, queen Eli Wallach, Clint Eastwood’s beautiful score and who is truly the Hottest Scott.

It shined at the Oscars, including a frankly totally deserved Best Supporting Actress nomination for Abigail Breslin and equally wholly deserved wins for Michael Arndt’s screenplay and Alan Arkin as dirty grandpa. But there’s also the way Toni Collette eats that popsicle and Greg Kinnear dealing with a kinky cop and Steve Carell and Paul Dano’s misanthropic uncle and son making a connection on a pier before Olive’s truly iconic dance routine.

Sean Penn’s performance is far from an infamous bus ride with one’s sister and he’s surrounded by an ensemble of women that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Dakota Fanning, Dianne Wiest, Laura Dern and Loretta Devine, a Best supporting bunch of friends, an Easter egg hunt of great actors in featured ensemble roles, beautiful Beatles covers and a happily ever after that’ll leave you feeling like a diamond in the sky.

Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers” is as much about the curious courtship of Adam and Harry as it is about grief, letting go of the past and feeling like a ghost in this world.

This week we’re diving into the 2023 biopic, “Nyad,” with a deserving Best Actress/Best Supporting Actress nomination combination for Annette and Jodie Foster. The script itself may wade into the shallow end occasionally, but the performances and the focus on friendship make considerable waves.

It’s teeming with Oscar winners and nominees, including this year’s Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, a hot dog free Julianne Moore and Queen Steve Carell. To say nothing of Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon making the most with a little, the always welcome Beth Littleford and John Carroll Lynch, parallels to Parasite and May December, a little Dirty Dancing talk and quite the discussion about Ozempic.

Anne Baxter, Bette Davis, Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter took a lion’s share of Oscar nominations that year, and Best Supporting Venomous Fishwife Addison DeWitt earned George Sanders a well deserved win.

It’s got a stacked cast with Toni Collette, Bridget Everett and Molly Shannon, but it’s also got a plot that mostly meanders around on a quiet Thursday night in a suburban downtown and eventually introduces us to Adam Levine’s Luke, the Man of 1000 Icks. But that Paul Rudd cameo! But also, SO much poop. The karaoke! The 11th hour yacht plot! W...2024-02-021h 24Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 207: Rachel McAdams - "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." (2023)We may not exactly be God, but we are definitely here for Margaret this week as we queen out on 2023’s adaptation of Judy Blume’s “Are You There God? it’s Me, Margaret.” Rachel McAdams glows in her mom era, giving us so many nuances in her own coming of age as Barbara Simon. We’ll buy Kathy Bates as a Jewish grandmother in New York, but what if it was Caroline Aaron? We discuss parallels to Eighth Grade, PEN15 and A Little Princess, plus our own history being friends with the girls when we were 12, including the opportunity to play Mall...2024-01-261h 14Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 206: Da'Vine Joy Randolph - "The Holdovers" (2023)Da’Vine Joy Randolph is practically lapping the other contenders in the race for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars this year for her performance in “The Holdovers.” And we may or may not quite get why! We try to figure out why we’re not holding strong feelings over Randolph’s grieving mother Mary, but we can agree that Paul Giamatti is at his Giamattiest and Carrie Preston is an A+ Assistant to the BSA. Plus: a very important alum of the podcast appears in a small role and this movie made us want a cheeseburger in 1971 real bad.

Kate Winslet goes from Bridget Jones to Elizabeth Gilbert thanks to two weeks in LA, a formative friendship with Eli Wallach, and a sort of requisite love interest in Jack Black. Meanwhile Cameron Diaz spirals out in the English countryside till Jude Law shows up with those daughters and goes full Mr Napkinhead. The score by Hans Zimmer shimmers just enough to distract from some questionable chemistry and a lot of uncertainty about that happily ever after.

We have been sleeping on potentially the best LGBT movie on the shelf, with Oscar nominated and worthy performances by Her Majesty Cate Blanchett and the BSA with the dragon tattoo herself, Rooney Mara, as well as Sarah Paulson as Best Supporting Abbie and that Glassy score by Carter Burwell, We may not necessarily want to eat Carol’s lunch (so to speak), but we’d definitely go on a cross country adventure with her, especially if it involves staying in the presidential suite.

This week, we’re welcoming in the holiday season with a perfect early 90s cozy up on the couch and cry movie, “Little Women”! Kirsten Dunst nearly steals the show until Clare Danes pulls out all the stops, Winona Ryder earns her Oscar nod and Susan Sarandon finally brings up the topic of "Stepmom" on this podcast.

We’re discussing Tamara Jenkins’ darkly funny “The Savages,” with two Queen Philips, Bosco and Seymour Hoffman, Laura Linney giving Best Supporting Sister, and some featured ensemble standouts like Debra Monk, Gbenga Akinnagbe and Margo Martingale. (To say nothing of Burt and Lizzie!) This movie brings up a lot of thoughts about aging, taking care of our parents, pulling a gay Golden Girls in Palm Springs, similarities to “Away from Her,” and whether we’re a Jon or a Wendy.

Uma Thurman’s Oscar nominated performance as the mysterious and charming Mia Wallace steals the second act of the movie and much of our time in this week’s episode, when we’re not talking about lunch meat or Bruce Willis’s history of full frontal nudity.

The frenetic violence of the first movie gives way to a more plaintive western, but we still get the Texas funeral, Beatrix’s training montage with Pai Mei, the Budd and Elle one act play in a trailer in the middle of the desert, Daryl Hannah serving hysterical blindness, a potential “Hysterical Blindness” reference, and also have you seen “Hysterical Blindness”? Uma Thurma gives a similarly emotional performance here, especially in the final chapter with Bill and B.B., to say nothing of the bathroom flo...2023-11-101h 23

The magnificence of Uma Thurman as an action star giving face journeys and nuance is enough to make both of swoon. We discover that Mr. Tarentino is the ultimate reference queen, the newfound sexiness of men in eye masks, and the magic of Lucy Liu.

And despite the gruesome title, it’s a surprisingly beautiful movie with a lot to say about the horrors of meat eating and ultimately an account of what Queen Sally Hardesty will endure to escape becoming tomorrow night’s dinner. Along the way we wheel through a rollercoaster of emotions with Franklin and fall in love with the sweet summer sausage that is Leatherface before riding off into the sunrise screaming in the back of a pickup t...2023-10-271h 25Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 177: "Best Supporting Amy"It’s a flashback episode this week, and truly the pilot episode of this podcast. In April of 2019, Nick joined Colin on “In the Details” to celebrate Amy Adams in her first Oscar nominated role (for a Best Supporting Actress, of course), 2005’s “Junebug”! Along the way we have our first discussion of co-star and queen Celia Weston, we trade movie recommendations that later turned into episodes of this podcast, and we break down that hospital room breakdown beat by beat.

Plus two of the characters are named Nick and Colin!

And more importantly to Rose Lindsey, brought to exquisite life by Joanna Cassidy in that red wig and that massive jar of candy that we discuss at length this episode.

Much to Colin's existential delight, this is far from the peak of musical theatre cringe but is actually a beautifully written and composed show worthy of its place in both Broadway history and the hearts of all those Rent-heads.

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are perfectly cast (and dressed, in those sweaters!) as best friends navigating a sudden breakup that gets increasingly grim, morphing from Irish folklore to Greek tragedy by the end. Kerry Condon is our ring-side proxy for this battle as the Best Supporting Sister Who Stays, while also navigating her own internal battle over her future on Inisherin (and sporting a stunning yellow coat of her own).

Beautifully directed by Mira Nair (of "Monsoon Wedding"!), "Hysterical Blindness" is a heartbreaking slice of Debby Miller's life in 1980's New Jersey and her unfortunate fascination with Justin Chambers' Swayze-eyed Rick. She takes more than her fair share of comfort from her loyal to a fault best friend Beth and her mother Virginia, who may be finding love of her own...2022-11-251h 13Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 148: The Westons AftershowAfter the production that was last week's episode, we're taking it easy with a casual fall catch-up this week.

We also find some surprising similarities to "Little Miss Sunshine," queen out on the multiple brief but powerful face journeys in this movie, swoon over the score, and break down the best bits of that rooftop parking lot scene before Nick makes a shocking revelation about his...2021-03-251h 02Best Supporting PodcastThe Best Supporting Aftershow - SAG Award NominationsThis week on The Best Supporting Aftershow we are discussing the SAG Award Nominations! We celebrate Michaela Coel and her much deserved nomination, whether not Laura Linney is loved by the community, and the surprise nomination of Amy Adams. In our BSA of the Week segment Nick celebrates another Dublin_Zoetrope masterpiece, a BSA Hall of Fame worthy TikTok account (hugeasmammoth.films), and the triumphant return of Ladywatch on Clubhouse. Colin 'enlightens' us as to why we should all be tuning into HBO's Enlightened, and Nick caps it off with a dazzling recount of the Brandy Cinderella on Disney +

While Mary Holland steals the entire show as twisted sister Jane, Mackenzie Davis's emotional rollercoaster as the controversial Harper and Dan Levy's pitch perfect 11th hour monologue are some of many reasons to be grateful this episode. Plus: the movie was basically filmed in Nick's backyard in Pittsburgh. We ponder what the inclusion of a liberal grandmother would have done to the story, give Tipper's iPad the moment it deserves, ruminate on the life of Riley, and work...2020-12-101h 41Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 44: The BSA's of "Pride & Prejudice" (2005)We're receiving every Bennet in the country this week as we count down our Top 5 BSA's of "the Keira Knightley" version of "Pride & Prejudice"! We explore the nuances of period pieces that give Colin pause, Emma Thompson's important contributions to the script, so many sweaty bangs, the gruesome twosome of Kitty and Lyddie, and of course all of our favorite performances--from the subtle cattiness of Kelly Reilly to the batty brilliance of Brenda Blethyn. (To say nothing of Judi Dench!) Also, how do you pronounce the name Rosamund Pike? We also discuss Donald Sutherland's laughter through tears, a Pride & Prejudice...2020-08-201h 38Best Supporting PodcastEpisode 19: The BSA's of Pittsburgh + Oscars 2020 TalkThis week we were a couple of Best Supporting Yinzers--Colin visited Nick in Pittsburgh for a post-birthdays Oscars weekend! We remember fondly the crepey pancakes, Target runs and YouTube marathoning before diving into our takes on the Oscars, including the presenters we loved, the speeches we cringed through, and the wins we were most excited by. (Also, we've finally come around on Laura Dern, she's great!)
