Movie of the Year: 1996The Birdcage (feat. Andrea Thompson from A Reel Of One's Own!)The Movie of the Year podcast takes a deep dive into The Birdcage (1996), a groundbreaking comedy that blends family dynamics, farce, and fearless LGBTQ+ representation. In this episode, the hosts explore how The Birdcage helped shift mainstream perceptions of queerness in the '90s, all while delivering standout performances from Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and showcasing the directorial mastery of Mike Nichols. Whether you're watching the film for the first time or revisiting it, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging look at why The Birdcage continues to matter.Listen to the episode now:[Podcast Player Embed Here]Gender, Sexuality, and Queer Representation in The BirdcageThe podcast opens with an in-depth discussion of how The Birdcage portrays gender and sexuality with both humor and dignity. At a time when LGBTQ+ characters were often relegated to the margins of pop culture, The Birdcage celebrated queer life, drag culture, and same-sex relationships. The hosts explore the film's role in pushing boundaries and normalizing visibility, particularly in a cultural moment still defined by Don't Ask, Don't Tell and lingering AIDS-era stigma.Robin Williams in One of His Most Subtle, Heartfelt RolesKnown for his exuberant performances, Robin Williams delivers one of his most emotionally restrained roles as Armand Goldman. The podcast explores how Williams balances warmth, wit, and gravitas, crafting a character who is both deeply human and quietly revolutionary. The hosts compare this performance to Williams' other work from the '90s and consider how his presence lends the film emotional credibility and depth.Mike Nichols' Directing BrillianceDirector Mike Nichols adapts the French farce La Cage aux Folles into a uniquely American satire, using timing, character dynamics, and visual composition to heighten both comedy and emotional impact. The hosts break down Nichols' directing choices, from rapid-fire dialogue to carefully choreographed scenes, showing how his vision shapes the film's tone and political commentary.Is The Birdcage Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts?One of the most spirited conversations in the episode centers on whether The Birdcage works because of its individual elements—such as the writing, performances, and production design—or because those elements merge into something greater. The hosts highlight iconic scenes like the chaotic dinner party and the nightclub sequences to show how the film achieves synergy between script, performance, and direction.Identity and the Meaning of LifeBeyond its sharp humor, The Birdcage asks deep questions about identity, authenticity, and acceptance. The hosts analyze the tension between performance and reality, especially in the context of Armand and Val's relationship, and explore how characters navigate the pressures of conformity and family expectations. This section connects the film to broader philosophical ideas about the meaning of life, love, and self-expression.Special Guest: Andrea Thompson from A Reel Of Our OwnJoining the discussion is film critic Andrea Thompson, founder of A Reel Of Our Own, a platform dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices in film. Andrea brings a fresh critical perspective to the episode, exploring how The Birdcage portrays queer identity with compassion, nuance, and humor. She also discusses the film's lasting influence on LGBTQ+ media and its place in queer film history.How The Birdcage Holds Up in 2024The podcast team revisits The Birdcage...

When Will & Grace premiered on NBC in 1998, it was groundbreaking because of the sheer lack of queer representation on network TV. Since then, numerous sitcoms have increased LGBTQ+ visibility on TV, but rarely gay characters of an older generation. To fill that void, those same Will & Grace creators, Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, developed Hulu's Mid-Century Modern to show that while a multi-camera sitcom with three gay male leads is rare, the stories they are telling are universal. Led by Nathan Lane's Bunny Schneiderman, Mid-Century Modern finds undergarment tycoon Bunny inviting his two best friends—Jerry (played by Matt Bomer) and Arthur (played by Nathan Lee Graham)—to move in with him and his mother, Sybil (played by Linda Lavin). It is after the passing of one of their mutual friends that Bunny opens up his Palm Springs home. Newsweek's H. Alan Scott chats with Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham about Mid-Century Modern, how it came about, and why it's so important right now.

We also dive into Amie's role in Dexter: Original Sin, the upcoming prequel to the hit Showtime series.

With her ability to seamlessly navigate between thrilling crime series and prestige dramas, Amie's versatility is undeniable. Beyond television, Amie's film career is also taking off. She recently worked on a project with Alicia Vikander and Wagner Moura, expected to make the festival rounds in late 2025 or early 2026. Her involvement in the Sundance Director's Lab led to another feature film opportunity, which is also set for festival releases next year. Before this breakout year, Amie had already built an impressive resume with roles in Better Call Saul, AJ and the Queen (alongside RuPaul), MacGruber, Deputy, Messiah, and Taylor Sheridan's 1923.

We've already reviewed the two big movies of the week -- "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" -- so we turned to a couple of new movies streaming on Netflix on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. The first is "Spellbound," an animated, musical fairy tale starring Rachel Zegler as a teenage princess trying to save her parents, the king and queen, who've been turned into monsters. It's colorful and vibrant but unoriginal, and the songs from the legendary composer Alan Menken are just so-so. Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, John Lithgow and Nathan Lane are among the star-studded supporting cast. A better choice on Netflix is "The Piano Lesson," based on the Pulitzer prize-winning August Wilson play. John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, Samuel L. Jackson, Corey Hawkins and Ray Fisher star in this story about an African-American family debating what to do with a piano that's an important heirloom. And in our movie news livestream, we discussed the week's major releases, Sebastian Stan, Jussie Smollett, and our dear friend Amy Nicholson being named the LA Times' new film critic.

In this episode of the Broadway Drumming 101 podcast, legendary drummer Cubby O'Brien shares a memorable story about subbing out of his first Broadway show and an unexpected encounter with Nathan Lane. When a stage manager informed Cubby that Nathan Lane wanted to see him in his dressing room, Cubby was slightly surprised. After finding his way upstairs, Nathan greeted him with a joking, "You can never leave again," followed by laughter and reassurance that everything was fine after a few nights of adjustment.Cubby explores the real challenge of subbing as a drummer on Broadway. He explains how Nathan Lane got used to his playing style and how every drummer strikes the drum differently; even the slightest variation can be noticeable. Cubby calls it a “thankless job,” where subs must maintain the established feel of the show while replicating the chairholder's unique sound as closely as possible.Throughout the episode, Cubby offers insights from his extensive experience with shows like Hair, The Producers, and The Carpenters' Tour.
