Pod From A Chair

It's awards season so you know what that means... Pod from a Chair is back! In this ep, The Chair and Holly talk Oscar prospects in anticipation of the Oscar nomination announcement on February 8th. Will it be Benedict vs. Will vs. Andrew? Does Olivia Colman have this race locked up? Will Lin-Manuel finally EGOT? Have we all fully processed how good Nicole Kidman is as Lucille Ball? (Quick answer: No, we have not). All this and more on the pre-nomination gab fest! 

It's all things Emmys 2021: the show, the winners, the fashion, and more. The Chair and Holly dissect it all - from Rita Wilson's rap to the Rose family reunion, and all the big wins (Jean! Michaela!) in between.  

Presenting our first ever mini pod — a slightly shorter podcast episode on one topic only -- where we tackle the season finale of Mike White’s water cooler HBO black comedy (drama? comedy-drama? oh who knows!) The White Lotus.  Who is the real villian? Is Rachel Patton Carmella Soprano 2.0? Did we really need that suitcase scene? Does Jennifer Coolidge have a spot picked out for her Emmy? All that and more in this full-of-spoilers take on the show of the summer!  

It's time for Part 2 of our summer pop culture roundup: what we're watching, reading, listening to, and revisiting! Part 2 tackles the Olympics; the dreaded last year of Donald Trump in the new bestseller I Alone Can Fix It; why neither of us is going near the new films Black Widow and Jungle Cruise but are instead revisiting classics like Palm Beach Story, Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Exorcist and Snowpiercer; and how Billie Eilish’s new and riveting Happier Than Ever album/cd (Note: Do they even call them that anymore?) must be listened to with headphones.

The first installment in our 2-part episode about all things summer pop culture: what we're watching, reading, listening to, and revisiting! Part 1 is all about TV and includes our read on Mike White's HBO series White Lotus (start the Jennifer Coolidge Emmy campaign), Apple TV's surprising Schmigadoon!,  the much anticipated second season of Ted Lasso , and the return of Netflix's Never Have I Ever (Team Paxton?).

Live from  your phone, it's Pod from a Chair! The Chair and Holly welcome special guest, author, superstar, and expert on all things SNL, Stephen Tropiano, in this first part of a two-part episode reflecting on 46 years of Saturday Night Live history.  

As promised, the Chair and Holly are back to talk about the show that was (or wasn't? we're still working it out).  We break down the winners, the upsets, and all things truly bizarro as we close the chapter on this year's Oscar season. 

We all need more Oscar coverage... right?

The Chair and Holly welcome their first guest, screenwriter and Oscar voter Barry Sandler. Barry breaks down his thought process and reveals his 2021 picks... some more "promising" than others.

In Part 2, the Chair and Holly dissect the 2021 Oscar nominations, including Best  Lead Actor, Best  Lead Actress, Best Director, and the coveted Best Picture.

And of course, we promise to ruin your chances in your Oscar pool!
