It’s the Little Movie That Could of 2006, “Little Miss Sunshine”! It shined at the Oscars, including a frankly totally deserved Best Supporting Actress nomination for Abigail Breslin and equally wholly deserved wins for Michael Arndt’s screenplay and Alan Arkin as dirty grandpa. But there’s also the way Toni Collette eats that popsicle and Greg Kinnear dealing with a kinky cop and Steve Carell and Paul Dano’s misanthropic uncle and son making a connection on a pier before Olive’s truly iconic dance routine. The movie is also riddled with featured ensemble standouts, from Linda to Kirby to Pam, and that score that just makes us want to do what we love and fuck the rest.

Suburban strife in the early 2000s feels good in a place like this. This week we’re wading into a neighborhood pool full of dysfunction, premature midlife crisis and some fabulous features ensemble lady acting, it’s 2006’s “Little Children”! Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson are a veritable heat wave of extramarital chemistry but then there’s Jackie Earle Haley and Jane Adams on the date from hell, the indomitable Phyllis Somerville, Best Supporting Jean, Meg March, awful Larry, even worse Mary Ann, Jennifer Connelly making the very most of that dinner table scene and that music during the end credits that’ll knock your socks clear across the park.

We’ve made an excellent choice this week covering 2001’s “I Am Sam”! Sean Penn’s performance is far from an infamous bus ride with one’s sister and he’s surrounded by an ensemble of women that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Dakota Fanning, Dianne Wiest, Laura Dern and Loretta Devine, a Best supporting bunch of friends, an Easter egg hunt of great actors in featured ensemble roles, beautiful Beatles covers and a happily ever after that’ll leave you feeling like a diamond in the sky.

While we took a bit of a break last week, we were in fact in Pittsburgh TOGETHER for a weekend of eating, chatting, eating some more, and encountering a series of BSAs in the wild, including an extra goosey Lucy, the no nonsense matrons of the Friday fish fry, a psychic diner waitress and just a dazzling variety of baked goods along the way.

If all you know of this movie is the steamy, swoony Andrew Scott/Paul Mescal press tour, well get ready to have your heart broken. Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers” is as much about the curious courtship of Adam and Harry as it is about grief, letting go of the past and feeling like a ghost in this world. Jamie Bell and Claire Foy’s Best Supporting Dad and Mum will make you weep at some point, and that ending is a real kick in the sticks, but it’s also all so beautiful and cathartic that it’s worth getting to know these strangers.

Don your board shorts, your racquetball glasses and a wavering Connecticut accent and let’s help Annette Bening swim to Florida! This week we’re diving into the 2023 biopic, “Nyad,” with a deserving Best Actress/Best Supporting Actress nomination combination for Annette and Jodie Foster. The script itself may wade into the shallow end occasionally, but the performances and the focus on friendship make considerable waves. Plus we have lots to say about suburban adult swim fantasies, Notting Hill and a certain dialect coach to the stars.

Just in time for the big discounts on Valentine’s Day candy, we are going back to the good old days of 2011’s “Crazy Stupid Love”! It’s teeming with Oscar winners and nominees, including this year’s Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, a hot dog free Julianne Moore and Queen Steve Carell. To say nothing of Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon making the most with a little, the always welcome Beth Littleford and John Carroll Lynch, parallels to Parasite and May December, a little Dirty Dancing talk and quite the discussion about Ozempic.

At long last, for this week’s Birthday Girl’s Choice we’re finally discussing the classic actressing buffet that is “All About Eve”! Anne Baxter, Bette Davis, Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter took a lion’s share of Oscar nominations that year, and Best Supporting Venomous Fishwife Addison DeWitt earned George Sanders a well deserved win. We do a lot of fantasy casting, from Real Housewives to Black Hollywood, and queen out on Eve’s hair, Margo’s pockets, Karen’s companionship, the hot roast beef sandwich that is Gary Merrill and the aged to perfection Thelma Ritter.

It’s Birthday Girl’s Choice this week and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate turning 39 than a bit of “Fun Mom Dinner”! It’s the quintessential love to hate to love kind of movie. It’s got a stacked cast with Toni Collette, Bridget Everett and Molly Shannon, but it’s also got a plot that mostly meanders around on a quiet Thursday night in a suburban downtown and eventually introduces us to Adam Levine’s Luke, the Man of 1000 Icks. But that Paul Rudd cameo! But also, SO much poop. The karaoke! The 11th hour yacht plot! We can’t get our fill of this perfectly mediocre dinner.
