Nikola Jokic – Page 2 – The Toy Department

In Episode 229, Madden and Kolsky are alive and employed, which means good in 2020, and ready to discuss:

The new season of PEN15 on Hulu (3:05) and how one of our hosts has really come around on the show…
The new Ryan Murphy show Ratched (10:35) and just what exactly he is doing with all of Netflix’s money…
Fox’s new show LA’s Finest (19:40) and how it follows a pretty successful formula to being exactly what you think it is…
A check-in on HBO’s Lovecraft Country (36:00) after a bottle episode starring an old veteran of The Challenge…
A brief NFL chat (48:50) about quick takeaways from the first two weeks of pro football…
Some thoughts on the NBA Playoffs (51:45) with particular focus on Tyler Herro’s tremendous performance…
Homework for our next show, on October 6 (1:07:35), including: the new Netflix show Sneakerheads, season four of Fargo on FX, Showtime’s new movie The Comey Rule and the new Amazon show Utopia… plus EVEN MOAR NBA Playoffs and Weeks 3 & 4 of the NFL season…

In Episode 228, Madden and Kolsky steel themselves to work through arguably the weirdest content week in Toy Department history, featuring:

The exceedingly weird Netflix film I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2:05) from the mind of Charlie Kaufman…
The new HBO series We Are Who We Are (25:20) and what the guys make of some weird vibes and a lack of background or explication in the first episode…

A few thoughts on Week One of NFL action (1:19:35), featuring the San Francisco 49ers’ somewhat surprising loss to Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals…
Homework for next week (1:25:55), including: the probably terrible new Fox show LA’s Finest, the new season of PEN15 on Hulu and the new Netflix/Ryan Murphy show Ratched… plus MOAR NBA Playoffs and Week 2 of the NFL season…
