Love Story

FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette -- "Pilot" -- Season 1, Episode 1 (Airs Thurs., February 12) -- Pictured: (l-r) Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette, Paul Anthony Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. CR: Eric Liebowitz/FX

We review Love Story, the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette limited series. Plus, we break down 2026 Oscar’s Supporting Actors!

On this week’s Water Cooler podcast, we review the new Hulu on FX limited series Love Story. Created by Connor Hines and executive produced by Ryan Murphy (among others), Love Story looks at the tabloid-fodder relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Is this a series worth exploring, or is it a cheap tabloid-fodder knock-off? And what’s to be made of Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy Onassis?

Then, we revisit the 2026 Best Supporting Actor Oscar contenders. Is it Stellan Skarsgård’s to lose? Or is there something to his omission at The Actor (formerly SAG Awards)? If it’s not Skarsgård, then who could take home the Oscar? Could Sinners co-star Delroy Lindo surprise on Oscar night?

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
