And in both cases, they speak a lot to a metaphorical pain along with the actual cause of the injury, which is relevant to the story in both cases - and so arm casts. HOLMES: And in both cases, they are on teenagers. So there is a cast on the arm of the lead character in the Broadway musical "Dear Evan Hansen," which won a bunch of Tonys this year - and also on the arm of Saoirse Ronan in Greta Gerwig's film "Lady Bird." HOLMES: But I'm calling an early trend, and that is arm casts. So normally it takes three to make a trend. MCEVERS: Let's start with your favorite trend in props, and that is arm casts. MCEVERS: OK, so you have not one but three highly specific superlatives for us. And to get it started, we have invited our good friend Linda Holmes, host of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast and editor of the Monkey See blog. This week on the show, we have our own lists of highly specific superlatives. So it is that time of year, the few weeks at the end of the year when everybody has a list - best of, worst of, least, most - all that stuff.
