Episode 45: Ann Dowd - "Hereditary" (2018)

Toni Collette gives such a powerhouse performance in Ari Aster's dysfunctional family nightmare "Hereditary" that it's easy to forget the ingenious Ann Dowd as the insidious Joan, luring Annie down the rabbit hole to hell. While we have just as much to say about Toni Collette this week, we zoom in on Dowd's Best Supporting Antichrist, the many parallels to "Rosemary's Baby," "Poltergeist" and even "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," Alex Wolff's haunting portrayal of Peter, the unique casting of Milly Shapiro, the best moments from that dinner table scene, jumping out of windows, giving birth to grief, and why Olivia Colman should have been apologizing to Toni at the Oscars that year. Plus: a favorite former Nickelodeon ranch hand, a shoeless chef with messy fingers, and even more love for a previous BSA of the Week.
