The Toy Department – Episode 347

In Episode 347, Madden and Kolsky are working on a Sunday, JUST FOR YOU, chatting about:

The first Paris episode of Top Chef: World All-Stars (1:35) and what a wonderful episode of the series it was, plus the guys give their thoughts on Padma’s impending departure from the show…
The series finalé of Succession (25:45) and how rare it is for a show to be so consistently great throughout its entire run…
The Apple TV+ comedy Platonic (40:25) and the delightful chemistry between Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne…
Another Apple TV+ comedy — High Desert (43:20) and the powerhouse performance of Patricia Arquette…
The HBO/Max movie Reality (47:50) and how it left both of our hosts with more questions than answers; both about its subject Reality Winner and the choices of the filmmakers…
Homework for next week (57:50), including: the new HBO series The Idol, The American Gladiator Documentary on ESPN+, and the surfing docu-series 100-Foot Wave on Max… PLUS the finalé of Top Chef Season 20 (World All-Stars) on Bravo… and some NBA Finals talk as well!
