    Episode 219: Marcia Gay Harden - "Pollock" (2000)

    Episode 219: Marcia Gay Harden - "Pollock" (2000)

    We were so full of Marcia Gay Pride from last week’s episode that it was time to break a decades long blacklisting of “Pollock” to discuss her dark horse Oscar win as Lee Krasner in Ed Harris’s punch drunk biopic of Jackson Pollock. We also get Amy Madigan going full Ullman, Jennifer Connelly as Worst Supporting Ruth, John Heard from "The Sopranos", a wacky cameo from Val Kilmer that takes us down a plastic surgery rabbit hole, to say nothing of the "Uncle Buck" digression we eventually get to, as well as our thoughts on what makes biopics work or not work and a requisite celebration of Kathleen Quinlan, who is not in this movie.

    Episode 218: Marcia Gay Harden & Laura Linney - "Mystic River" (2003)

    Episode 218: Marcia Gay Harden & Laura Linney - "Mystic River" (2003)

    We’re shipping up to Boston this week for 2003’s modern day Greek tragedy, “Mystic River”! Sean Penn and Tim Robbins both took home Oscars for their rag-wrung performances, and Marcia Gay Harden was well and truly robbed of her second Oscar as the tortured Celeste. We’re of differing opinions on Laura Linney’s low-key Lady Macbeth, but eye to eye on the welcomed presence of Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne, Smalls from The Sandlot, queen Jenny O’Hara, queen Eli Wallach, Clint Eastwood’s beautiful score and who is truly the Hottest Scott.

    Episode 217: The BSAs of "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006)

    Episode 217: The BSAs of "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006)

    It’s the Little Movie That Could of 2006, “Little Miss Sunshine”! It shined at the Oscars, including a frankly totally deserved Best Supporting Actress nomination for Abigail Breslin and equally wholly deserved wins for Michael Arndt’s screenplay and Alan Arkin as dirty grandpa. But there’s also the way Toni Collette eats that popsicle and Greg Kinnear dealing with a kinky cop and Steve Carell and Paul Dano’s misanthropic uncle and son making a connection on a pier before Olive’s truly iconic dance routine. The movie is also riddled with featured ensemble standouts, from Linda to Kirby to Pam, and that score that just makes us want to do what we love and fuck the rest.

    Episode 216: The BSAs of "Little Children" (2006)

    Episode 216: The BSAs of "Little Children" (2006)

    Suburban strife in the early 2000s feels good in a place like this. This week we’re wading into a neighborhood pool full of dysfunction, premature midlife crisis and some fabulous features ensemble lady acting, it’s 2006’s “Little Children”! Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson are a veritable heat wave of extramarital chemistry but then there’s Jackie Earle Haley and Jane Adams on the date from hell, the indomitable Phyllis Somerville, Best Supporting Jean, Meg March, awful Larry, even worse Mary Ann, Jennifer Connelly making the very most of that dinner table scene and that music during the end credits that’ll knock your socks clear across the park.

    Episode 215: The BSAs of "I Am Sam" (2001)

    Episode 215: The BSAs of "I Am Sam" (2001)

    We’ve made an excellent choice this week covering 2001’s “I Am Sam”! Sean Penn’s performance is far from an infamous bus ride with one’s sister and he’s surrounded by an ensemble of women that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Dakota Fanning, Dianne Wiest, Laura Dern and Loretta Devine, a Best supporting bunch of friends, an Easter egg hunt of great actors in featured ensemble roles, beautiful Beatles covers and a happily ever after that’ll leave you feeling like a diamond in the sky.

    Episode 214: A Best Supporting Weekend in Pittsburgh

    While we took a bit of a break last week, we were in fact in Pittsburgh TOGETHER for a weekend of eating, chatting, eating some more, and encountering a series of BSAs in the wild, including an extra goosey Lucy, the no nonsense matrons of the Friday fish fry, a psychic diner waitress and just a dazzling variety of baked goods along the way.
