It's time for our annual (yeah, we can call it that now!) Summer Must List! Find out what the Chair and Holly are watching, reading, and revisiting in this all things pop culture roundup.  We cover everything from Abbott Elementary's Emmy futures (lookin' good) to Showtime's underrated gem I Love That For You, all the way to the Chair's love for MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, Mel Brooks's audio book, and the accuracy of the Netflix algorithm (we feel seen!). Tune in for coverage on Jordan Peele's Nope, Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, HBO's The Rehearsal, and so much more. It's a supersized episode bursting at the seams... and who can ask for more? 

We're back! After a short hiatus, the Chair returns with Holly to break down all things pop culture and Pride. From the upcoming Bros, to Netflix's sweet-as-sugar Heartstoppers, and all the way back into LGBTQ history, we celebrate it all, while asking some very important questions (we're looking at you Ryan Gosling as Ken). It's all gay, gay, gay and that's A-OK! 

Here we go... the Oscar podcast to end all Oscar podcasts (until next season, of course). Yes, we discuss the slap (how could we not?), but that's not all in this episode where we breakdown all things Oscars  from the truly bizarre choices (that set? anyone?), to the equally baffling musical numbers (Beyonce, we still love you but we need to talk), and even the fashions (we see you Timothee). Oh we mention the awards too -- promise! Like Gaga said to Liza, we got you.

The Chair and Holly are back to unpack the upcoming Academy Awards -- well the ones they choose to show us this year! Joined by Academy voter (and dear friend of the show) Barry Sandler,  we predict who will win (hint: Will Smith) and who should win (again, Will Smith).  Will CODA upset The Power of the Dog? Will Jane Campion take home Best Director? Will the Chair throw his phone at the TV? All signs seem likely! Join us for some hot takes and more on this all-things-Oscar pod. 

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!  

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?).   

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.

Live from your phone, it's Pod from a Chair! The Chair and Holly welcome back special guest, author, superstar, and expert on all things SNL, Stephen Tropiano, to discuss their own personal favorite SNL moments. This episode has everything...
