Pod for the Emmys

The 74th annual Emmy Awards will be given out on Monday night and the only thing prognosticators can agree on is that:

a. We desperately need this diversion from the real world, and

b. Michael Keaton will win best actor in a limited series for hauntingly portraying a caring small town doctor who becomes addicted to Oxycontin in Dopesick.

Um, excuse me Chair. #EmmyforTanya

We will be watching and unpacking it all in a very special new episode of Pod From A Chair this week.

Will it be Abbott Elementary over Hacks?  Does White Lotus edge out Dopesick?  Can Succession take the top honor once again vs. the relentless Squid Game?  And how about finally rewarding the last season of Better Call Saul for… something??

More importantly, will The Chair be able to tolerate three plus very full hours of Kennan Thompson as host?? 

Survey says… unlikely.

Please join us – The Chair and Holly – on Wednesday when we will give you an escape hatch from reality by unpacking the awards, the outfits and the minutia you never knew you needed to hear about until we brought it to your attention.

You’re welcome.  In advance.

Oscars: The Last Word

As you can imagine, we had a lot to say about the Oscars this year… and no, it isn’t ALL about the slap (but how could we not go there?). This bonus Oscar pod covers it all: from the truly bizarre choices (that set? anyone?), to the equally baffling musical numbers (Beyoncé, we still love you but we need to talk), and even the fashions (we see you Timothée). Oh we mention the awards too — promise! Like Gaga said to Liza, we got you. Check it out below:
