b'Brevity is the soul of wit, and Emma Thompson is the heart and soul of 2001\'s "Wit," co-written and directed by Mike Nichols. Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by one and done wonder Margaret Edson, "Wit" takes us through the grueling cancer treatment of Thompson\'s Vivian Bearing, a largely lonely experience except for the presence of Best Supporting Susie. played by living legend Audra McDonald. We have much to say about McDonald\'s history making career and what she brings to this role (the Popsicle scene!), and we have buckets of love for Eileen Atkins, as well as Noah Wyle even though he\'s actually not in this movie and Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie, which is sort of related. Plus: the presence of Pinter, the click-clack of Kelekian, the MUSIC!, and an important tangent about formative outfits from our cataloging years. Plus: Lucy updates and a supersized Beatrice Straight!\\n\\nJoin us for SEASON 1 OF "SMASH" and get early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bsapod\\n\\nEmail: thebsapod@gmail.com\\nInstagram: @bsapod\\n\\nColin Drucker\\nInstagram: @colindrucker_\\n\\nNick Kochanov\\nTwitter: @nickkochanov\\nInstagram: @nickkochanov'
