The Toy Department – Episode 198

In Episode 198, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky address the reverb on Madden’s microphone before settling in to discuss:

The return of Netflix’s Sex Education (2:00) and what a delight it continues to be in its second season…
HBO’s new Armando Iannucci comedy Avenue 5 (17:20) and how both guys see the potential for a good show in its pilot…
The new HBO Stephen King adaptation The Outsider (21:55) and how it is spooky and gripping and is bound to get more and more intense and action-packed as the season goes on…
The film 1917 (32:05) and how it stacks up with other recent (and not-so-recent) war films…
Homework for next week (42:25), including: actually watching the new Awkwafina show Nora From Queens on Comedy Central, the new movie The Gentlemen, Tiffany Haddish’s new stand-up special, season two of Shrill on Hulu and perhaps the Aaron Hernandez docu-series on Netflix…
A few thoughts on the upcoming Super Bowl (50:35) and a preview of more football discussion next week…
