Pam Anderson’s performance of Shelly in “The Last Showgirl” gets better the longer it marinates in your mind, but Jamie Lee Curtis as the cocktail slinging ashtray Annette is an instant high camp icon, and it’s clear that Jamie Lee is having the time of her life as the down but never out best friend of a Las Vegas showgirl in her final days on stage. Is this movie just Hysterical Blindness on the Strip? Is Billie Lourd actually 47? Who was in the audience for that last performance? Nothing really gets answered but for about 81 minutes, it’s a fascinating kick line of questions.

We’re finally talking about this year’s perplexing Oscars frontrunner Emilia Pérez! Is it absolutely El Mal? Well, Zoe Saldaña certainly deserves the BSAs this awards season, Édgar Ramirez is a total babe and Adriana Paz is a welcomed addition as Best Supporting Epiphania. But the more you know about this movie, the more you realize it’s giving Tommy Wiseau energy with a French twist and will more likely end up a pop culture punchline than best picture of the year.

We’re tearing it apart, Lisa! Our second Birthday Girl’s choice is the 21st century’s answer to Citizen Kane, “The Room”! Tommy Wiseau’s Johnny may be a beloved local figure and frequent favorite customer who is also up for a promotion at the bank, but his fiancé Lisa finds him boring and prefers his bearded best friend Mark. She’s also not concerned at all about her mother Claudette’s breast cancer diagnosis, and is totally fine with Mike and Michelle using their apartment to hookup. Denny might even stop by to borrow the ingredients for a small pound cake, when he’s not dealing drugs for Best Supporting Chris-R. Sometimes all you can do is put on a tux and toss a football around in an alleyway. Don’t worry about it.

It’s Birthday Girl’s Choice this week, and in the words of Veronica Randall, some people want everything! We are diving into the 1983 camp classic “The Lonely Lady,” starring the Frances McDormand of the Razzies, Pia Zadora as the tragically determined Jerilee Randall on her sleazy quest for Hollywood fame. She has a mercurial mother, a husband three times her age, a loyal gay friend, a cocaine fueled affair with the owner of Kick’s, more than one predatory lesbian experience and one of the greatest nervous breakdowns in movie history. You’ll never look at a garden hose the same way again.

We’re sing singing the praises of 2024’s feel good tearjerker about a prison theater program, “Sing Sing”! Colman Domingo should be a Best Actor Oscar frontrunner this year, with Clarence Maclin and Sean San Jose in the Best Supporting Actor category (to say nothing of Dino and Charlie stealing the show and our hearts). This may be the least actressy movie we’ve ever discussed but easily one of the most emotional.

We love a Best Supporting Mom, a Best Supporting Sister and 11th hour monologues, and Didi has all of that and more. This 2024 coming of age story is familiar territory for PEN15 fans but full of small surprises, some standout ensemble performances and a surprisingly emotional use of 2008 era technology. Joan Chen may not be on the Oscars shortlist where she belongs this year (and she’s also not in The Joy Luck Club), but she is a must-see BSA of 2024.

We’re kicking off the year by looking back! This week we’re counting down our Best Supporting movies, foods, music, reality TV, experiences and even furniture from the last year. We also briefly navigate a vacuum debacle and can’t stop thinking about a certain VHS-shaped cake.

The most important, and certainly the most supportive awards show of the year is here, the Fourth Annual Westons! In this timeslot-busting episode, we’re celebrating the best supporting sisters, saints, moms and friends, the scene stealing featured ensemble members, moments that went to a 27, and even the men who shined in movies we discussed over the past year.

The golden girls of the West End, British cinema and occasionally even modern classics like Dennis the Menace sit down for a talk and a chat about whatever they want really. "Tea With the Dames” may not be high in caffeine, but is instead a warm mug of chamomile on a rainy afternoon with a champagne chaser.

Whether it’s because of the holiday season, a redemption for Will Ferrell or our blossoming love of Mary Steenburgen, we’re talking about “Elf” this week!
