Best Supporting Podcast

We are feeling pretty, witty and gay this week as we queen out on Stephen Spielberg's remake of "West Side Story," featuring not only the return of legend Rita Moreno as Valentina, but Ariana DeBose more than filling her shoes as Anita. We're also swooning for Bernardo (and Chino behind those glasses!), to say nothing of Mike Faist's movie-stealing Riff. We discuss the gritty edges of this version vs. the magical realism of the original, the updated moments for characters like Grazi and Anybodys, and the immediate iconography of that yellow and red dress.

This week on The Best Supporting Aftershow we are diving headfirst into the second half of season two of PEN15. But not before taking a quick stop at Sheetz and yet another RHONY Roundup! Nick finally listened to The Demise of Mrs. Baylock and Colin is positively smitten with Only Murders in the Building. In our BSA of the Week segment, Nick suggests a Robin de Jesus / Andrew Garfield #friendshipgoals TikTok and Colin declares his love publicly for his new milk frother.

The scariest non-horror movie you'll see all year, Stephen Karam's brilliant adaptation and direction of his Tony winning play "The Humans" arrived on Showtime to seemingly no deserved fanfare. The cast of six, including Beanie Feldstein, Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Stephen Yeun and Queen June Squibb, works together through a symphony of micro-aggressions and private meltdowns, but it's Jayne Houdyshell, the only other carryover from the stage version and with a Tony for it to boot, who steals the show. Between the recliner moment, crying alone at the kitchen table, telling Brigid about her broken toilet seat and THE CUPCAKE SCENE, we can't celebrate this BSA enough at the beginning of an awards season where she's unlikely to get any recognition. We wrap things up this week with an important announcement about the Best Supporting Aftershow!

This week on The Best Supporting Aftershow we are continuing our pumpkin pie for breakfast post-Thanksgiving wrap up! Nick has failed yet again to complete his extra credit for his Best Supporting Assignment from last week while Colin received top marks for Insecure and Adele’s new album. In our BSA of the Week segment Nick can’t get enough of Martin Short’s campy goodness in Only Murders in the Building and Colin suggests a proper Sondheim sendoff courtesy of Julie Klausner and Tom Sharpling’s Double Threat podcast.

Let's call it a Thanksgiving hangover! A little behind the scenes confusion means this week is a meal of sides with no main, an extended aftershow to let the holidays digest a bit. We catch up on our respective Thanksgivings, updates on our individual RHONY journeys, some new podcasts and audiobooks currently in our ears and the possibilities a milk frother can bring into your life.

What starts as a familiar story of familial obligation, high school romance and one girl's coming of age evolves into something so much more powerful and gay gasp worthy in "CODA." Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur are both vying for BSA as the deaf parents of Emilia Jones's Ruby, the sole hearing member and de facto interpreter for her family, especially when it comes to running their fishing business. We queen out on our favorite moments--the concert, the audition and of course, that pickup truck scene!--and Nick reveals his true history with The West Wing,

This week on the Best Supporting Aftershow Nick provides a post Kayan's 40th Birthday wrap up (Spoiler : there are plenty General Tso's shrimp to go around!) Colin is back on the Peloton, and Adele is back in our ears. In our Best Supporting Assignment Nick scolds Colin for holding out on Viv Maudlin and both hosts dissect the trope of Single white gay writers named Michael. Nick revisits an off mic RHONY chat in his BSA of the week and Colin is absolutely smitten with the wonder of Instagram's coffeeally32 and hisdonnarides

We love a short runtime, a raspy voiced mother, a Jackie Hoffman cameo and some climactic meltdown acting, and we got all that and more in "Shiva Baby." Polly Draper steals our hearts in those glasses as the classic Jewish mother with a heart of gold and sends us into a rabbit hole of 90's TV moms, bad IMDb pictures and Timothy Busfield. We also talk about extra work, the nightmarish world of open calls in New York, our shared love for Bonnie Hunt, and the importance of not knowing what you're doing with your life in your 20's. Naturally, Jill Zarin comes up in conversation more than a few times.
