Episode 226: The BSAs of "The Birdcage" (1996)
Not only do we queen out on “The Birdcage” this week, we also discuss some of our favorite Diane’s, a couple of Ron’s, at least two Mames, one singular Bonnie, a piece of Jason Alexander and just buckets of veteran actresses in lightweight ensemble comedies.

Episode 225: The BSAs of "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" (1997)
We’re ordering two businesswomen’s lunch specials this week and discussing the 1997 cult classic “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”! 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. Admittedly a lot of tangents this week on reunions, the Slaton sisters, white sneakers and Julianne Moore in old people makeup in “The Hours”.

Episode 224: The BSAs of "American Fiction" (2023)
This is a bestseller in our hearts! 2023’s “American Fiction” earned writer/director Cord Jefferson’s screenplay a much deserved Oscar, Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K Brown underdog nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, and introduced us to Queen Coraline, Ten Perfect Minutes of screen time from Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae in that conference room scene, THE Leslie Uggams, and of course Best Supporting LORRAINE. To say nothing of a stacked featured ensemble, including Miriam Shor’s perfectly panicked Paula, a Keith David cameo, the gays in the kitchen, the lip reader from that episode of “Veep” and the finest of men, Officer Maynard. (And speaking of fine—Jeffrey Wright is Jeffrey RIGHT in this and we need to be celebrating that more as a community.)

Episode 223: The BSAs of "The Graduate" (1967)
Our sampler of the 60s ends this month with “The Graduate”! 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.

Episode 222: Patty Duke - "The Miracle Worker" (1962)
We’re staying in the 60s this week and with Patty Duke, but instead of sparkling as Neely O’Hara she’s learning to fold her napkin and beating the crap out of Annie Sullivan in “The Miracle Worker”! 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 10 minute breakfast scene. We discuss the parallels with parenting children with special needs, and of course our own irrelevant experience as pet parents, we turn a corner on Helen Keller jokes and are inspired to channel our own inner Annie’s.

Episode 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. Let ‘em droop!
