Pod From A Chair Steve

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! 

The Chair and Holly are back to discuss the 95th Oscars -- a night of well-produced entertaining television. Wait, is this the Twilight Zone? We unpack what made the night so charming and watchable (the speeches! the Daniels! that hot editor!) and why we have hope for future broadcasts. Of course we do have a few quibbles -- would you expect any less? Tune in for this ep covering it all, including the last time the Chair ever has to discuss Lydia Tár! 

Don't call it a sequel -- it's now a trilogy! Our 3rd (!) annual pod with special guest and Academy voter extraordinaire Barry Sandler. We talk all things Oscar predictions: Michelle vs. Cate, Austin vs. Brendan, Gaga vs. singing on a fighter jet.. and much more!  Get your googly-eyed rocks ready for a memorable episode as we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. 

Did you really think we'd let an awards show go by without talking about it?! This time, the Chair is joined by very special guest (and friend of the pod) Dion Rabouin, as we dig deep into the 2023 Grammys!  The Chair and Dion break down the biggest awards of the night and talk about what should  have won (Renaissance... or maybe not?). Be prepared for some truly "unholy" takes (we see you Madonna). The Oscars even enters the conversation (duh). All this and more! 

Roll out the red carpet... it's awards season! The Chair and Holly unpack the newest crop of Oscar nominations, calling out the snubs and celebrating the surprises (we love you Stephanie Hsu!).  This episode is jam packed with piping hot takes and shocking disagreements (find out who's a real Tár head and who is... definitely not). Take it to Mach 400 with CGI Tom Cruise and come along for our first stop on our Oscars marathon. 

It's Thanksgiving y'all -- and this year The Chair and Holly have decided what they're thankful for... pop culturally, that is! While we all gather with our friends and family and toast to good health and good fortune, we can also toast the shows, characters, legends, and icons we've come to love this year -- and we can promise that this list does not disappoint (we're looking at you Tanya McQuoid and your Italian fantasies!). Gobble gobble!
