Best Supporting Podcast

Let’s just say it: “The Talented Mr. Ripley” is a gay 90’s classic with an ensemble of stars. Matt Damon is admittedly great as Tom, and Gwyneth Paltrow is just lovely as Marge, but the supporting cast truly shines. Oscar nominated Jude Law as bathing beauty Dickie, Queen Philip Seymour Hoffman as terminal main character Freddie, a smashing Jack Davenport as Peter and of course, a pre-Tár Cate Blanchett as Best Supporting Meredith. Plus: Patron Saint of the Pod Celia Weston as Aunt Joan at the opera! Was 1999 a cultural apex? We have no idea, but this cast is a reason to say yes.

It’s a flashback episode this week, and truly the pilot episode of this podcast. In April of 2019, Nick joined Colin on “In the Details” to celebrate Amy Adams in her first Oscar nominated role (for a Best Supporting Actress, of course), 2005’s “Junebug”! Along the way we have our first discussion of co-star and queen Celia Weston, we trade movie recommendations that later turned into episodes of this podcast, and we break down that hospital room breakdown beat by beat. Is this Amy Adams’ best performance? As Peg would say, use your head.

We have much to say this week about 2013’s romantic comedy for middle-aged babes, “Enough Said.” Three name queen and 11 time Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Eva navigates a budding romance with James Gandolfini’s Albert, including the most endearing interactions in a frozen yogurt shop, while forming a new friendship with Marianne, played by Nicole Holofcener muse Catherine Keener, before realizing that Marianne and Albert are the terrible exes they’ve been telling her about. We spin out on dating, aging, compromising in relationships, Sarah Lawrence, the movie Diane and that pitch-perfect Almodóvarian ending.

For the love of Annette Bening, we give Mike Mills’ “20th Century Women” a go this week! Annette gives a masterclass in cigarette acting while Greta Gerwig wins our hearts as Best Supporting Abbie, a proxy cool older cousin type to 15 year old Jamie in 1979 Santa Barbara. To say nothing of a mustachioed Billy Crudup as former hippie and current boarder William. We discuss some of our favorite squinty actresses, some fantasy casting of Judy Garland, and our thoughts on Beginners, Frances Ha, Ladybird, Mulligans (Thea Gill!) and of course, Pollock. (Should we watch Pollock?)

We’re visiting the drop ceilings, fluorescent lights and empty coffee pots of 90s office life in 1997’s “Clockwatchers” this week. A very Muriel-esque Toni Collette is the new girl in the temp pool, making fast friends with Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow and Alanna Ubach, all at exciting times in their film careers. We get Debra Jo Rupp doing micromanaging magic as Barbara from HR, to say nothing of Best Supporting JAG in the corner office. We also have much to relate to in this movie, as neither of us are strangers to corporate drag. But at least there’s free wings at happy hour!

Justice for Melissa! This week we’re giving some much overdue love to Jami Gertz’s award-winning performance as Bill Paxton’s woefully neglected fiancé in peril in 1996’s “Twister.” But first, we have a lot of feelings about Helen Hunt, especially her Oscar winning accent in “As Good As It Gets.” Plus: Best Supporting Aunt Meg with those obscene plates of steak and eggs, Tàr director Todd Field, Philip Seymour Hoffman at his crunchiest, a Shelley Duvall cameo, apparently Anthony Rapp and so many Dodge Caravans.

We’re taking a disconcertingly long journey down to Tennessee this week to count down our Top 5 BSAs of Robert Altman’s ensemble opus, “Nashville.” The nominees include Barbara Harris, Shelley Duvall, Geraldine Chaplin, Karen Black, Ronee Blakley, Ned Beatty, Lily Tomlin and even some cameos from Elliott Gould and Julie Christie. This may not have been the easiest two hours and forty minutes but it was worth it for that ending. Plus, the songs are beautiful and we really resolved some feelings about Michael Murphy,

It’s the most perfect in-flight movie of our generation, “Crazy Rich Asians”! Speaking of which, we have a lot to say about our dreams of luxury travel at the top of the episode, as well as the banal nightmare of the airport experience, but lots of love for the familiar beats and sweeping grandeur of this ensemble romantic comedy. Plus two of the characters are named Nick and Colin! But we also get Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina as Singapore’s answer to Miley Cyrus, and a perilous journey into our archives to remember the last movie we talked about with Gemma Chan.

Sarah Polley continues to wow us this week with her feature film debut as writer and director, 2006’s “Away From Her.” Much like “Women Talking,” it’s no easy breezy airplane movie, but sometimes you just want to be a little devastated. Oscar nominated Julie Christie glows as Fiona, whose developing Alzheimer’s renders her husband Grant a stranger and sends her into the arms of Worst Supporting Aubrey. Grant finds tough love from Nurse Kristy and a trauma bond with Aubrey’s wife, podcast alum Olympia Dukakis. Plus: the mom from The Good Son, Flo taking her tea for a walk, face journeys, cigarette acting, and a particularly ugly baby.

We're flashing back to a different time and a different podcast this week! This is a 2018 episode of In the Details, the godmother of Best Supporting Podcast, and one of the first episodes we ever recorded together. But we waste no time queening out on actresses, particularly Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench in the modern gay classic "Notes on a Scandal." We celebrate a shared love of Philip Glass, Barbara smoking a cigarette in the bathtub and that knock down, drag 'em out fight in the third act featuring one of cinema's greatest roars.
