The golden girls of the West End, British cinema and occasionally even modern classics like Dennis the Menace sit down for a talk and a chat about whatever they want really. "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.Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow …

Whether it’s because of the holiday season, a redemption for Will Ferrell or our blossoming love of Mary Steenburgen, we’re talking about “Elf” this week!Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bsapodEmail: thebsapod@gmail.comInstagram: @bsapodColin Drucker - Instagram: @colindrucker_N…

Brovember concludes with some mid-30s male ennui in the mid-90s, “Beautiful Girls”. 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 …

The queens of Season 5 are indeed going off. We kick things off this time around with a music video that, perhaps with time, will age into camp territory. Taking a page from the book of Brooke, we’re discussing our roses and thorns of the episode and this cast. And also briefly the career of Courtney Thorne-Smith. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mar…

Brovember is taking a big step into the early 2000s for, believe it or not, “Step Brothers”! We have more to say around bro humor than we do about the movie itself, though Mary Steenburgen is peak Mary Steenburgen here and Kathryn Hahn is really paying her dues.

Holy schnikes, it’s Brovember! We’re going back to a simpler time and happier place this week, the mid-90s buddy road movie with a heart of gold, “Tommy Boy”! This is Chris Farley’s movie, but he’s surrounded by Queen Brian Dennehy, Julie Warner as Best Supporting Michelle, Razzie nominee Bo Derek, an uncredited Rob Lowe getting his shirt sucked of…

A movie about preemptive grief is somehow exactly what we needed this week. “His Three Daughters” features Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne sistering out in a Lower East Side apartment while their father lingers through his final days in the other room. What could be better? Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access …

Given the impending election, spooky season has officially been extended this year. And what better way to celebrate than with a deep dive into the all-American nightmare that is 1974’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”!

We are currently building secret closets in our bathrooms, stalking LA in an iconic yellow coat, and feeling fully activated by the sensation that is “The Substance”! This movie sends us in so many directions, from body dysmorphia to the terrors of tele-health, Demi Moore in the mirror, Dennis Quaid eating that shrimp, Margaret Qualley’s aunt Sue, …

Things are getting spooky on the Upper East Side this week as we revisit our favorite Best Supporting Housewives of New York for a disastrous Season 12 Halloween party. Helping us tackle this seafood tower of terror is The Shore Store’s Justine Elizabeth!Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.pat…

Well kiss your sister, it’s time to talk about “Flowers in the Attic”! Much has been said about that bathtub scene but honestly that is just the beginning of the bizarre family dynamics in V.C. Andrews twisted tale of attic dwelling siblings. Louise Fletcher is a force to be reckoned with and reason alone to watch this camp classic. Become a Matreo…

It’s the date movie of 2004, “Closer”! 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 hun…

This week we’re revisiting some classic Canadian nightmare fuel of the 90s! “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” made us fear and fiend for 9:30pm on a Saturday, especially with indelible episodes like “The Tale of the Laughing in the Dark” with its suburban locale, the lack of adult supervision and the possibility that it was all just a creepy old man te…

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 Bab…

We’re kicking off Alright Scary with Frank Oz’s under-sung movie musical “Little Shop of Horrors”! While not the spookiest pick on the list this month, it’s certainly got the best balance of bonkers and beautiful. Plus all those homoerotic overtones in the dentist’s office, Levi Stubbs’ vocals, the perfection of Ellen Greene, and a Greek chorus by …

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. Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early ac…

The city of Manchester, the island of St. Lucia and the essence of Canada are all represented in the cast of Season 6 of Drag Race UK. Plus two queens competing for “oldest bitch in the cut” energy, a unanimous lip syncing lookalike, a peek into the Wild World of Wales and a strict machine on the judges panel. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary le…

Well leggo my eggo, Juno is preggo! While this 2007 Oscar winner was a career making moment for writer Diablo Cody and Elliott Page, it’s Jennifer Garner who runs away with this movie for us, with Allison Janney’s Bren close behind in a Previa.Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bs…

“Silver Linings Playbook” brought home Oscar gold for Jennifer Lawrence and nominations all around for 2012’s Dirty Dancing for Manic Depressives in Philly. (Or is this some strange version of Garden State?) Jacki Weaver makes crabby snacks and drives a Cadillac, John Ortiz and Chris Tucker are some best supporting friends, Bradley Cooper is a babe…

We’re welcoming in the unofficial start of fall the best way we know how—talking about grief! 2010’s “Rabbit Hole” is easily one of Nicole Kidman’s best performances, and The Wiest as her mother with her own brick in her pocket almost makes us forget that Tyne Daly played that role on Broadway. Tammy Blanchard channels one of the greatest moments i…

We wrap up Family Movie Month with what can best be described as “Carrie” for kids. (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 …

We’re seeing double this week as we cover “It Takes Two”‘s refined identical twin, “The Parent Trap”! 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 …

The Paris Olympics may be over but a global competition filmed in Colombia has just begun! It’s a bit of a high school reunion, if no one went to the same high school, it’s a bit like Eurovision, and occasionally it’s like an obscure Belgian variety show, but overall this is a refreshing take on the All Stars format. Also, the judges panel looks li…

Family Movie Month is returning to the heyday of the oddball 90s kid this week with “Harriet the Spy”! 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 make…

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 Clar…

A month of international interpersonal dramas between the Real Housewives of New York ends with the Season 4 melodrama that is Morocco. We’ve got all the original wives, including Alex fighting with the strength of ten out of control camels. (Or perhaps a herd of buffalo.) Kelly is here to make it weird, Jill Zarin digs up two seasons of resentment…

We talk about the husband, the Hole and even the husband's hole this week. Mrs. Mateo’s second act and JLo’s small bag of chips get a lot of air time, in addition to the actual challenge at hand.
