    Episode 27: Oscar Post Mortem 2025

    Well, it happened! The Oscars 2025 have come and gone, and the Chair and Holly have some things to say before the book is officially closed. The glitz, the glam, the awards, the surprises, and yes, whatever that James Bond number was (hint: not good, sweetie).  We talk all things Anora, Mikey's big upset (we love you Elisabeth Sparkle), Brody's endless speech, and the stunning opening number (Cynthia Erivo EGOT when?). Like Timmy's suit, this episode is like buttah! Enjoy!

    Episode 26: Oscar Predictions 2025

    Is this now an awards season podcast? Well.. maybe for the next 2 weeks at least! The Chair and Holly are back -- this time tackling the upcoming 2025 Oscars. Are there more important things to discuss? Is the world in crisis? Sure, but hey, we gotta find some joy where we can! Come with us on this journey as we talk about our hopes for Conan as host (#TeamCoco forever), the mess that is the Emilia Perez awards campaign, and the Chair's sincere wishes for (recently crowned SAG award winner) Timmy C. Also -- are all of these movies too long? Is this episode description? Again, yes and yes. Let's do it!

    Episode 25 Part 2: Live from New York, it's STILL book launch week!

    We are back with part 2 of our discussion of all things SNL to celebrate the launch of The SNL Companion: An Unofficial Guide to the Seasons, Sketches, and Stars of Saturday Night Live (available for purchase now!). Join Holly with authors extraordinaire Steven Ginsberg (our beloved chair) and Stephen Tropiano, as we delve even deeper into the iconic television show, this time tackling the storied history of musical guests, the legacy of Weekend Update, and their favorite performers and sketches (Lobster Diner, we see you!). Forget the five-timers club, because we get into the one-season club, and those cast members that just couldn't break through. You'll love it, but you'll love the book more! Check it out now!

    Episode 25 Part 1: Live from New York, it's book launch week!

    We are over the moon (on top of 30 Rock perhaps!) to announce the upcoming official release of The Chair's newest endeavor -- a book on all things Saturday Night Live. Join Holly while she interviews our beloved Chair, Steven Ginsberg and his co-author (and husband and all around brilliant guy) Stephen Tropiano, about their incredible new book, The SNL Companion: An Unofficial Guide to the Seasons, Sketches, and Stars of Saturday Night Live (available for purchase starting on September 17!). Because we could barely contain our conversation to just one episode (I mean there's 50 seasons, how could we?), this is part 1 of our discussion where we delve into the evolution of SNL, who still watches SNL, the politics, the stars, and even a chance meeting with the real Linda Richman (spoiler: they were not verklempt).

    Episode 24: All About Taste

    We can call this episode a "Stefon" because truly it. has. everything. The Chair and Holly talk all things summer pop culture, from Kamala's entrance into the presidential race, to summer blockbusters (Twisters? Really?), and our favorite Emmy nominations (Jamie Lee, make room on your shelf). But what it all comes down to is taste... and we think we got that taken care of. Oh, and did you see Timmé as Bob Dylan in the Complete Unknown trailer? Because, yeah we go there too. It's a supersized episode with hot takes galore, and the Chair even gets a homework assignment!

    Episode 23: Recapping the Oscars 2024

    Have you had Kenough? Never! The Chair and Holly recap all things Oscars 2024 and finally put awards season to bed (we'll miss it! really!). We cover everything from winners to presenters to fashion, and everything in between -- and yes, we spend ample time gushing about the already iconic "I'm Just Ken" musical number (sorry, not sorry). The Chair avoids gloating about his impeccable predictions (Emma! Last Repair Shop!) in this episode that is chock full of all things glittery and golden!

    Episode 22: Oscar Picks IV: Barry Returns!

    After a long break, Pod from a Chair is back with our (and hopefully your) favorite episode of the year: Oscar picks and predictions with our favorite Academy voter Barry Sandler! Spoiler alert: The Chair and Barry agree on most winners! Will their unity serve them well in their Oscar pools? Listen as The Chair, Barry, and editor Holly dish on all things Oscars 2024, and yes, we can't wait for a live version of "I'm Just Ken."

    Episode 21: Television Finales 2023: So long, Roys!

    This television season saw the departure of some of our all time faves and Emmy darlings: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Succession, Ted Lasso, and Barry. In this ep, the Chair and Holly unpack the final seasons of these critically acclaimed shows -- and ** SPOILER ALERT ** give our hot takes on the final installments. We'll miss those rascally Roys, the Greyhound underdogs, Noho Hank's style, but most of all Midge's humor and hats.  With bonus Somebody Somewhere content (tini tinis for everyone!) and what we're looking forward to next. Did we mention there are spoilers?? You've been warned!
