Each week, I explore micro-moments, acting choices and all of the magic in the minutiae--the nuances, if you will--that make a scene great. Take a drink every time I talk about a Best Supporting Actress nominee.

Episode 66: Life is Not a Cabaret
I've developed an unhealthy obsession with the Real Housewives, let's face it. But for as much vapid bickering over white wine as there is on any iteration of this show, every once in a while it gets refreshingly real. This week I'm diving into all the micro-moments of RHONY icon Bethenny Frankel's Season 11 meltdown in Miami over LuAnn's caba-razy behavior while in supposed recovery for her alcoholism. Not to be missed is Best Supporting Tinsley, sad old Barbara, the mirrored martini glass, that napkin, and the scooping of the hair. It's melodramatic, it's campy, it's dark and it's absolutely fascinating reality television.

Episode 65: All About All About My Mother (w/ Leanne Kubicz!)
In the Details is back this week/month/year to queen out on Pedro Almodovar's homage to mothers, actresses and the modern melodrama, 1999's "All About My Mother." Joining me this week is the always brilliant Leanne Kubicz to help me dive into the world of Almodovar, his themes and references and of course, his chicas, as well as his nuanced and compassionate representation of trans people and HIV/AIDS. Plus a bevy of references, from Douglas Sirk to All About Eve to some of his previous movies, as well as the most beautiful shade of red you've ever seen, Best Supporting Agrado and a wonderfully unexpected ending.

Episode 64: Fever Dreams on VHS
Just in time for Halloween, I've curated a fantasy movie marathon of some of the more questionable choices in the horror movie aisle of yesteryear's video store. These are not just bad movies (though I don't know if any of them would qualify as good), they're surreal and delirious and sometimes totally fascinating. And they're all available on Youtube! Before we get into it, I spend a few minutes hating on "Halloween KIlls." It's the worst.

Episode 63: Panic on the Platform
One of the rings of hell is likely a New York City subway station in the 80's. And it probably looks like the 59th Street stop depicted in 1980's super sleazy "Maniac." I can't say I recommend the movie, but the subway scene with the nurse is a terrifying glimpse into a bygone era of the MTA. (Subway station bathrooms!) But first: I have attended "Mass" and I have a gospel to preach.

Episode 62: A Spooky Masseuse and a Suspicious Spouse
I’m kicking off a month of Spooky Nuances with the 1950 film noir classic “In a Lonely Place,” a tense and twisted vehicle for superstars Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame that also features a face journey by actress Jeff Donnell as the suspicious Sylvia, the amazing Hadda Brooks as a lounge singer who gets a Moment, and Martha the no nonsense masseuse. We wrap things up with an unmissable interview Donnell did with Skip E Lowe that features my new favorite Barbara.

Episode 61: Oh Mo, We Gotta Touch This
After an extended spring break and summer vacation, I'm back this week with some thoughts on Malignant, Bernard Hermann's score for Sisters, the shows Work in Progress and The Other Two, and Sarah Paulson's Linda Tripp, before a necessary celebration of the best 8 and a half minutes you'll see all year, "Brenda Vaccaro is having a good time."

Gem
Long time Mary here, came to Colin’s other pod by way of Gaylord’s of Darkness. It’s a treat.
Love love love this !
As a long-time Mary, I was super happy to discover that Colin has his own podcast: In the Details most definitely didn’t disappoint! Such a thoughtful, insightful take on the minutiae of pop culture.
Great insight
If you aren’t familiar with Colin’s banter from Alright Mary, then you are in for a pleasant surprise. This podcast puts a magnifying glass over the memorable scenes in films from the past few years, zooming in to explore stellar acting.
Colin’s insight, and the way he explores his ideas, seems to be more focussed with each episode.
Great insight-each episode better than the last.
