Episode 109: Jayne Houdyshell - "The Humans" (2021)

The scariest non-horror movie you'll see all year, Stephen Karam's brilliant adaptation and direction of his Tony winning play "The Humans" arrived on Showtime to seemingly no deserved fanfare. The cast of six, including Beanie Feldstein, Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Stephen Yeun and Queen June Squibb, works together through a symphony of micro-aggressions and private meltdowns, but it's Jayne Houdyshell, the only other carryover from the stage version and with a Tony for it to boot, who steals the show. Between the recliner moment, crying alone at the kitchen table, telling Brigid about her broken toilet seat and THE CUPCAKE SCENE, we can't celebrate this BSA enough at the beginning of an awards season where she's unlikely to get any recognition. We wrap things up this week with an important announcement about the Best Supporting Aftershow!
