Published: Jan. 26, 2024, 6 a.m.

We may not exactly be God, but we are definitely here for Margaret this week as we queen out on 2023\u2019s adaptation of Judy Blume\u2019s \u201cAre You There God? it\u2019s Me, Margaret.\u201d Rachel McAdams glows in her mom era, giving us so many nuances in her own coming of age as Barbara Simon. We\u2019ll buy Kathy Bates as a Jewish grandmother in New York, but what if it was Caroline Aaron? We discuss parallels to Eighth Grade, PEN15 and A Little Princess, plus our own history being friends with the girls when we were 12, including the opportunity to play Mall Madness on a porch. We also tangent on the BSAs of Juno, performative prayer, sexy Jesus and the unlikely library of STARZ shows.\n\nJoin us for The Best Supporting Aftershow and early access to main episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bsapod\n\nEmail: thebsapod@gmail.com\nInstagram: @bsapod\n\nColin Drucker - Instagram: @colindrucker_\n\nNick Kochanov - Instagram: @nickkochanov
