Best Supporting Podcast

This week we are celebrating all things Allison Janney as Nick is in the hot seat for 'The Untitled Allison Janney Trivia Game.' In our BSA of the Week segment, Nick gives a recommendation and rave review for his newly purchased AC unit and celebrates the women of Netflix's 'Special' while Colin continues to urge us to consider Brittany Runs a Marathon for your next rainy Saturday movie.

This week, we discuss both pop culture and buffets, but the episode itself is also a buffet of movies, trailers, podcasts and performances that are on our gay agendas to discuss. We're covering the Dear Evan Hansen and Cruella trailers, hot takes on the woeful Woman in the Window, long overdue love for Brittany Runs a Marathon, a reunion of Friends, some Lillian Gish appreciation, Knives Out 2 cas...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow it's Nick's turn to stump Colin in a game we like to call "Close, but no Oscar," highlighting the career of Glenn Close. In our BSA of the week segment, Nick raves about a life changing burger and just can't get enough of the Sunday Pancakes podcast featuring recent guest, Karen Olivo. Colin treats himself to a bit of self care in the form of a Snickers a...

Marge Simpson buys a deeply discounted Chanel suit and her whole life starts to change, but is it for the better? This formative episode of "The Simpsons" is one of the best Marge stories of the series and gives us Best Supporting Lisa, plus Springfield's own Mean Girls, very little Bart, and even a journey into Patti and Selma's wardrobe. We tangent down memory lane more than once this week, quee...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we are playing Which Wiest is it? Colin stumps Nick in a series of questions about the movies of Diane Wiest,what's not to love? In our BSA of the Week segment Nick raves about some killer Knafeh in New Hampshire and gives a Birthday shout out to two of his favorite felines. Colin is anticipating his Summer Mom time and pays homage to an eliminated queen...

When Roseanne Barr briefly boycotted her own show during the filming of Season 2, an episode was written sending her character out of town and focusing on her sister Jackie's interim role as wife and mother to Dan and the kids. This week, we queen out on the nuanced chemistry between Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman, the goosey goodness of Natalie West, the episode as a one-act play, coat acting, m...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we are talking about our favorite Divas, or in our case, perhaps a lack-thereof. We take a deep dive into why gay men are drawn to divas, and revisit our roots of why BSA energy is our drug of choice. Then it's off to corporate America as Colin reveals some exciting news in the form of the end of an era and a fabulous Summer Sabbatical. In our BSA of the...

"Moonstruck" is one of 10 movies to receive Oscars for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, and deservedly so for Cher as the lovestruck Loretta and the late, great Olympia Dukakis as her mother Rose. We also get a classic Assistant to the BSA in Julie Bovasso as the delightfully nuanced Rita, a perfectly charming/smarmy John Mahoney, that amazing climactic set piece over oatmeal, Olympi...

Better late than never, but this week we are discussing last Sunday's Oscar ceremony! There is much to talk about including the gag of century as Sir Anthony Hopkins takes home his second Academy Award! In our BSA of the Week segment Nick continues to sing the praises of Dublin_Zoetrope's new podcast (Oh, Shut up!) and Colin encourages us to tune into Kath and Kim.

Mira Nair's marigold-filled "Monsoon Wedding" is a beautiful celebration of the complexities of love in its many forms. And it's flooded with an ensemble of fabulous actors, especially Best Supporting Shefali Shah as Ria, the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" cousin of Aditi, whose arranged marriage to the dreamy Hemant has brought dozens of family members to Delhi for days of ceremony, celebra...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we are talking about the BAFTA winners! The snubs, the surprises, but most importantly a win for Sir Anthony Hopkins! Nick and Colin make their final Oscar predictions but are still unsure as ever as we lead into Oscar weekend. In our BSA of the Week segment Nick dives back into Veep and urges us all humans to listen to Dublin_Zoetrope's new podcast "Oh,...

While Annette Bening is undoubtedly the shining star of "The American President" (and unfairly looked over for a Best Actress Oscar nomination, in our humble opinions), she's our BSA this week because, well, we make the rules around here. Not to say the supporting cast isn't stacked, with Martin Sheen, Michael J Fox, Samantha Mathis, Wendie Malick, "Little Giants" star Shawna Waldron, and one of o...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we are discussing the SAG award winners! From the predictable to the unpredictable, we are more confused than ever as to who will win Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at this years Oscars. In our BSA of the week segment, Nick promotes two new fabulous TikTok accounts and gushes over the magic of Celia Keenan Bolger's new podcast, Sunday Pancakes....

Tim Burton's schlocky satire of 1950's alien invasion movies has a stacked cast, from prestige actors like Sylvia Sidney and Rod Steiger to rising stars Natalie Portman and Jack Black. Plus a whole new side to Annette Bening, Pam Grier driving a bus, Glenn at a 10, peak Sarah Jessica Parker, a super swively Lisa Marie in high drag, and even a minute and a half of Danny DeVIto! Email: thebsapod@gma...

This week we are taking a break from awards show chatter and simply gabbing about whatever comes to mind! We cover lower back pain, yoga, body image, coffee culture, and much more! In our BSA of the Week segment, Nick swoons over his new coffee warmer, provides a new podcast recommendation, and tells us all to watch Good Girls. Colin provides a caffeine alternative and unapologetically declares hi...

"Rachel Getting Married" is undeniable proof that Anne Hathaway is a good, if not great, actress, in a role that deservedly earned her an Oscar nomination. She also happens to be surrounded by an incredible cast of supporting players, in roles ranging from Rosemarie Dewitt's titular Rachel to Roslyn Ruff as Kym's rehab nurse Rosa. We have much to say about Debra Winger's rasp and eventual roar as...

Its the episode that you've all been waiting for. Nick has finally seen Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and its finally time to talk about Maria Bakalova! In our BSA of the Week segment, Nick celebrates the genius of Colin's Best Supporting Aftershow theme music and urges everyone to watch Alan S. Kim's Critics Choice Award acceptance speech IMMEDIATELY. Colin recommends two BSA-worthy Instagram accoun...

Between Yuh-jung Youn in "Minari" and Glenn in "Hillbilly Elegy," we're getting so much Big Grandma Energy this Oscar season. While "Minari" and its male stars Steven Yuen and Alan S. Kim are getting lots of recognition, to say nothing of Youn's much-deserved nomination, we have equal praise for Yeri Han as Monica. We also find some surprising similarities to "Little Miss Sunshine," queen out on t...

The BAFTA and Oscar nominations are out and we are simply overjoyed. History is being made and we are here to discuss the snubs, concerns, and overall excitement in what is sure to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable awards seasons ever! In our BSA of the Week segment Nick sings the praises of North Carolina french fries and some extra special Grammy performances while Colin is still ree...

Equal parts disorienting and heartbreaking, "The Father" takes a familiar narrative of caring for an aging parent and turns it into a firsthand experience of dementia. Olivia Colman proves there is no limit to the power of her frown, giving an economical and brilliant performance as the put-upon Anne. But Anthony Hopkins totally runs away with this movie, and any other year would take every award...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we are discussing the winners of the Critics Choice Awards and celebrate the quiet perfection of Nomadland. Nick is beside himself with the wonderful bevy of his past BSA's of the week that have made it onto the list of nominees in the TV categories. Both hosts are more confused than ever with a fresh batch of women taking the Best Actress and Best Suppor...

In honor of International Women's Day earlier this week, we're discussing 10+ female performances in film and TV that we feel are due more recognition. We cover everything from moms to zombie hunters, from as far as India to the very middle of America. We queen out on running acting, brainstorm a new trivia game and try to convince each other to watch all of the performances on each of our lists....

On this week's episode of The Best Supporting Aftershow we are talking about the Golden Globes! We discuss the surprise wins, Tracy Morgan's beautiful SAOUL, and how much we loathed the forced awkward celebrity Zoom small talk. In our BSA of the Week segment Colin gives his official reviews of The Undoing and The Flight Attendant and Nick raves about a new straw, Bobby and Giada, and a newfound ob...

We can't say that "I Care a Lot" is a necessarily fun movie--if you're looking for escapism in lockdown, this isn't it--but it does feature a fully committed Rosamund Pike as Marla and of course, The Wiest as Jennifer Peterson, Marla's newest victim turned adversary. We also get some nuanced eye candy from Chris Messina, some great music, a fabulous potential Halloween costume, and a companion epi...

This 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 t...
