In Episode 124, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky talk a little Fourth of July before they dive into:
- The wild weekend of NBA free agency (4:50) including LeBron James going to the Lakers and Boogie Cousins heading to the Golden State Warriors…
- The 2018 FIFA World Cup (19:45) and just how delightful it has been through most of the Round of 16…
- A quick discussion of Drake’s new album Scorpion (28:15) and how the Canadian pop artist continues to disappoint…
- The new season of GLOW (32:45), how wonderful the show is and how great a job it does of honoring the diversity and complicated nature of humanity…
- A check-in on I’m Dying Up Here (41:05) and a chat about how it has really climbed up the TV rankings for both Madden and Kolsky…
- A check-in on Succession (49:25) and how it presents a world of miserable, terrible people that somehow both guys still want to watch…
- Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger (53:50) and how it differs from most superhero fare and whether Derek liked it enough to continue watching through the first season…
- Homework for next week (1:01:40), including: HBO’s new Amy Adams-starring series Sharp Objects, more World Cup and NBA offseason discussion and some subset of films currently in theaters (like Ant Man & The Wasp, Jurassic World 2, The Incredibles 2, Sicario 2 and Tag)…
