Episode 253: The BSAs of "Sing Sing" (2024)

Jan 23 2025 60 mins  
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 disc

Episode 252: Joan Chen - "Didi" (2024)

Jan 16 2025 59 mins  
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

Episode 251: Our BSAs of 2024

Jan 09 2025 50 mins  
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. Join us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreo

Episode 250: The Fourth Annual Westons

Jan 02 2025 173 mins  
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. Join us for The

Episode 249: "Tea with the BSAs"

Dec 12 2024 57 mins  
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.

Episode 248: The BSAs of "Elf" (2003)

Dec 05 2024 73 mins  
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!

Episode 247: "Beautiful BSAs"

Nov 28 2024 53 mins  
Brovember concludes with some mid-30s male ennui in the mid-90s, “Beautiful Girls”. Despite the stacked ensemble cast of Oscar winners and nominees, only Rosie O’Donnell gets to steal the show for a couple minutes while Uma Thurman, Mira Sorvino, Annabeth Gish, Lauren Holly and Martha Plimpton get to play girlfriends and love interests and Natalie Portman is the literal girl

Episode 246: The "Step Brothers" Episode

Nov 19 2024 74 mins  
Brovember is taking a big step into the early 2000s for, believe it or not, “Step Brothers”! We have more to say around bro humor than we do about the movie itself, though Mary Steenburgen is peak Mary Steenburgen here and Kathryn Hahn is really paying her dues.

Episode 245: The BSAs of "Tommy Boy" (1995)

Nov 12 2024 56 mins  
Holy schnikes, it’s Brovember! We’re going back to a simpler time and happier place this week, the mid-90s buddy road movie with a heart of gold, “Tommy Boy”! This is Chris Farley’s movie, but he’s surrounded by Queen Brian Dennehy, Julie Warner as Best Supporting Michelle, Razzie nominee Bo Derek, an uncredited Rob Lowe getting his shirt sucked off by a pneumatic tube,

Episode 244: The BSAs of "His Three Daughters" (2024)

Nov 07 2024 64 mins  
A movie about preemptive grief is somehow exactly what we needed this week. “His Three Daughters” features Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne sistering out in a Lower East Side apartment while their father lingers through his final days in the other room.
