In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

While the shortlists receive a good amount of coverage after their announcement, there are three categories that don’t get as much coverage. The short film categories (Animated, Documentary, and Live Action, respectively) are some of the biggest prognosticator blind spots since these films don’t get talked about as much year-round, but you can find articles […]

‘Anything You Can Do:’ Lynette Feels the Need For Speed

vor 9 Tagen

—

Desperate Housewives Episode Seven, “Anything You Can Do,” brings the theme of competition to the forefront. Lynette finds herself in direct competition with not only other housewives but also her own husband, Tom. However, her body can’t keep up with her life’s demands, pushing her further into an abusive ADD medication nightmare. Then, after announcing their divorce, Rex and Bree find themselves in competition for their children’s affection. Naturally, that’s not a fight Bree will lose. Plus, Rex’s rejection of Andrew causes a chain reaction with potentially deadly results. With Gabby and John’s relationship on the rocks, Gabby tries to split up new friends John and Danielle, Bree’s daughter. After agreeing to part ways, Gabby and John are finally busted by Mama Solis, but will Mama Solis truly have the upper hand? Finally, Susan finds herself in a one-sided competition for Mike’s affection when an old friend moves into Mike’s house. Plus, what’s up with all of the Madame Bovary references? “Anything You Can Do” boasts a lot of competition, and we dig into the theme in this week’s Desperate Housewives Revisited. We’ll cover the meaning of the title (kind of a “duh” moment), the episode’s character arcs, and our favorite lines from the episode. If you’ve never seen Desperate Housewives, then now is a great time to start. The series is available to stream on Hulu / Disney+. Catch up with our podcasts here ! Or click here!

‘The White Lotus,’ ‘Yellowjackets’ Quench Our Must-See TV Thirst

vor 13 Tagen

—

On this week’s podcast, we review the latest seasons of The White Lotus and Yellowjackets . Plus, we weigh in on the SNL 50 live special. The third seasons of two Emmy-favored series drive our conversations this week. Showtime’s Yellowjackets attempts a soft reboot to restore its luster after a mixed second season. We talk about changes within the season and whether or not the series feels back on track. Then, Mike White’s The White Lotus returns with a Thailand-focused season that feels like a huge step forward for the writer/director. We talk about the star-studded cast, our favorite characters, and what makes this season shine. But first, Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th anniversary with a massive 3-hour special. We talk about whether or not the plus-sized episode worked and our favorite moments. We also talk about the Tom Hanks controversy and why it truly insulted some viewers. We close the podcast, as always, with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week. If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited , where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

‘Running To Stand Still:’ What Do You Do With a Sex Surrogate?

vor 14 Tagen

—

Desperate Housewives Episode Six, “Running To Stand Still,” could have a surrogate title: “Bree Van de Kamp and the Sex Surrogate.” In this hallmark episode, Rex tries to convey the root of his marital issues and pins it all on Bree’s sexuality. Not to be outdone, Bree confronts him in his shabby hotel room but is unable to relinquish all elements of her Bree-ness. The episode also gives us Bree’s famous pro-sex monologue. Lynette volunteers in her sons’ school production of “Little Red Riding Hood.” This storyline introduces us to the key guest character of Maisy Gibbons (Sharon Lawrence) whose conservative views on the children’s fairy tale clashes with Lynette’s anti-censorship stance. We also see the introduction of Lynette the drug addict. Gabby gambles with Mama Solis and potentially wins big, and Susan is saddled with carrying the Young family storyline forward. Joey and Clarence find “Running To Stand Still” a compelling episode full of iconic Desperate Housewives moments. Join them as they break it down on this week’s podcast! We will be back on our regular Monday schedule next week. If you’ve never seen Desperate Housewives, then now is a great time to start. The series is available to stream on Hulu / Disney+.

Oscars 2025: Frock Flock — A Contending Crafts Bonus Podcast

vor 15 Tagen

—

The clothes make the man, woman, prince and pauper, but what does The Academy look for when it comes to Best Costume Design? For me personally, I love talking to costume designers, because of how tied their work is to an actor’s personal choices of a character’s arc. Costume designers work closely with their cast members to talk about silhouette, color, fit, and style, and characters rarely leave their homes without careful consideration of how their wardrobe aligns with their wants and personal moods. Will The Academy dig Arianne Phillips’ recreation of Bob Dylan’s duds for A Complete Unknown ? Will they dive into the different ways cardinals strut around in the papal thriller Conclave ? Will they be impressed with how Linda Muir matched those gorgeous gowns with Robert Eggers’ dark vision? Or is it just Paul Tazewell and Wicked ‘s to lose? Or could Janty Yates and David Crossman take Gladiator II ‘s lone nomination to the podum? Megan and I are joined by writer and fellow costume lover, Fawnia Soo Hoo, to break down this year’s nominees and why we love this category so much. If you haven’t heard it yet, check out our first Oscars 2025 deep-dive podcast where we covered this year’s Original Song and Original Score nominees . We’ll be dropping more special episodes highlighting craft nominees right up until the Oscars on Sunday, March 2.

This weekend offered something for literally everyone, and we’re here to break it all down for you. First, is Emilia Pérez really dead?

Next, Clarence traveled to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, which has a strong Oscar correlation. Finally, we run a quick roundtable about our favorite 2025 Super Bowl Commercials. We close the podcast, as always, with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

Podcast: Our First Impressions of ‘The Pitt,’ SCAD TVfest Preview

vor 29 Tagen

—

Before Megan ventures off to Atlanta to cover this year’s SCAD TVfest, we take a look at Max’s new drama series, The Pitt . Does it have the right stuff to be considered an Emmy player? The series calls back to a time when medical dramas were prominent on television, but the format of The Pitt (each episode playing out in almost real time) is something to sink your teeth into. I recommend a title from this year’s Sundance Film Festival–Carmen Emmi’s Plainclothes –and Megan reveals what she is looking forward to checking out at SCAD TVfest. We close the podcast, as always, with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week. If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Clarence and I will be looking back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s phenomenon from 2004.

“Come In, Stranger:” Break-Ins, Mama Solis, & a Creepy Christmas

vor 29 Tagen

—

We’re breaking into another episode of Desperate Housewives . This week, Joey and Clarence tackle “Come In, Stranger,” the fifth episode of the series. We open with a strange break-in, discovered by Susan. Naturally, it’s Mike Delfino at the center of the crime, and Susan’s discovery of a screwdriver leads her to explore a new relationship with a cop. It also causes Wisteria Lane to embark on a neighborhood watch initiative — but only in the day. Makes sense, right? Lynette guilts Bree into putting in a good word for her unruly boys at Barcliff Academy, a prestigious private school who may overlook the boys’ behavioral issues. How far can Lynette push her hapless husband, Tom, to seal the deal? Speaking of Bree, she befriends Zach Young by making dinner for the troubled and lonely boy. Their oddball pairing leads to one of the strangest endings in the series. Finally, Carlos calls his mother — Mama Solis (Lupe Ontiveros) — to help him determine whether or not Gabby is cheating on him. Gabby goes to incredible lengths to shake Mama Solis, until she gives Gabby a not-so-subtle threat. There’s a lot to unpack in “Come In, Stranger” as break-ins and unexpected intruders set several events into motion. If you’ve never seen Desperate Housewives, then now is a great time to start.
