73. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story & Counterpart

Two brand new babes on this week! Normally, we wouldn’t recap an S02E01, but in the case of “American Crime Story,” it’s a whole new story so it’s safe to view it as a pilot. The other is JK Simmons’ new racket on Starz, “Counterpoint.”

Also chats about Meryl Streep, John Malkovich, Paul Bettany and Joel McHale all having new TV gigs, a bizarre accusation against Questlove, of course the Oscar nominations, and much much more! Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

ACS S2E2 – “Manhunt”

The People are … liking ACS: Versace. Andrew Cunanan has captured our …hearts? From his creepy charm to his American Psycho tendencies, this extra-extra performance is bringing out the “Darren Criss fan” in all of us. Join Natalie and Maren as they read your comments on the episode, and get into the ongoing Versace/HIV debacle, sub sandwich heroes, and “the other sister.” (Not the 1999 Juliette Lewis movie)

‘Versace,’ the PGA, and SAG’s Impact on the Awards Race

We’re in the midst of the big awards season push with Tuesday marking the announcement of the 2018 Oscar nominations. We start with a conversation about the recent Producers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild award winners in both film and television categories. How will these winners impact the Oscar nominations and, eventually, the Emmys? Then, we run through a quick preview of our Oscar predictions.

But first, we talk about the premiere of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. Now that we’ve all seen it, what’s the general consensus around the Water Cooler? Is this a major Emmy player or does it pale in comparison to last year’s O.J. Simpson entry? Or is it both?
