We are checking into the exclusive White Lotus resort for a week of marital discord, zillennial angst, casual colonialism, accidental homicide and of course, so much great actressing!

While 1997's "My Best Friend's Wedding" may appear to be a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts as our charismatic heroine, it's actually a psychological thriller in which Cameron Diaz as the kooky co-ed Kimmy becomes our heroine in peril, while the charismatic (and sultry) voice of reason is none other than George, an under-sung gay character (if not icon) of 90's cinema played by BAFTA-nominat...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow Colin is putting Nicks knowledge of Ann Dowd to the test in a game we like to call "Well Ann-Dowd."

Blessed be, this week we're celebrating Best Supporting Podcast fave Ann Dowd in her most iconic role to date as Gilead's Aunt Lydia, in her infamous flashback episode from Season 3 of "The Handmaid's Tale." While the show overall may be a bit too grim for our tastes, we can't help but marvel at not only Ann's award-winning transformation, but the exquisite agony of Elizabeth Moss as June. We coul...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we are celebrating Molly Shannon in a trivia game entitled, "Hello, Molly!"

Colin gives high praise to a recent Beach Tent purchase, stoned Grandma youtube c...

Molly Shannon's award-winning role in 2016's essentially perfect "Other People" is classic Best Supporting Podcast material--the charming cancer-stricken mother of a conflicted gay writer whose moved home from New York to contend with her death and his own demons.

Not only is the hit HBO show "Hacks" a perfect vehicle for Jean Smart's indomitable talents alongside breakout co-star Hannah Einbinder, but the cast is packed with a charming, surprising and nuanced ensemble of supporting players, including Emmy nominees Carl Clemons-Hopkins and Jane Adams, plus Poppy Liu, Meg Stalter, Lauren Weedman, Caitlin Olsen and one very charming cocktail waitress. We're c...

Email:...

Colin highlights three movies that he's watched as well and tells us about a new foray into designer food. Nick tells us about the pilot of the new Annie Murphy vehicle on AMC, expresses great delight over the newest All Star...

We're spending some extended time in the Billy Barnes Extended Care Ward with a trio of BSA's-and, at one point, more June Squibb than we know what to do with.

It's certainly not quiet uptown in Lin-Manuel Miranda's "In the Heights," the long-awaited film version of the Broadway hit musical. The movie is also surprisingly different from the show--we dive into what got cut, who got added and what was missed. At the heart of the movie is Olga Merediz as Abuela, but we also have lots of love for Assistant to the BSA Daphne Rubin-Vega, the effortless charm o...

Buckle up for a non-stop flight full of first class acting--how's that for a punny review of "The Flight Attendant"? But it really is a great show. Kaley Cuoco more than earns her odds of winning an Emmy, especially now that Catherine O'Hara is out of the category, and she's surrounded by a stellar cast that includes Rosie Perez, Zosia Mamet, TR Knight and the divine Michelle Gomez. We count down...

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow we make some early predictions and discuss the upcoming 2021 Emmy awards this September. Kate vs. Michaela. Is this Kathryn Hahn and Kaley Cuoco's year? Should we start watching Ted Lasso? In our BSA of the week segment, Nick is once again grateful for his AC and for the upcoming arrival for one of our favorite BSAs. Colin teases us with two upcoming Ann...

From its regional accuracy to its wall to wall actressing, "Mare of Easttown" is right up our turnpikes as actressexuals from the Northeast. It goes without saying that Kate Winslet is basically royalty and her performance as Mare Sheehan is likely career best work so far. Julianne Nicholson and Jean Smart are duking it out for BSA, but Nicholson's car and kitchen floor acting in the last episode...

"Special" is, well, a special show--a surprisingly honest and nuanced story about disability, sex, dating, and most importantly, the relationship between a gay man and his mother. While Ryan O'Connell is the mastermind of the show, Jessica Hecht's brilliant performance as his mother Karen is at the heart of it. This week we dive into the fourth episode of the second season to discuss one of our fa...
