In Episode 108, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky preview their Oscar discussion unnecessarily before diving into the following (in order):

  • The first three episodes of the new NBC sitcom AP Bio (4:15), and whether it stands out from the pack of network comedy…
  • Derek’s experimentation with the Season 4 premiere of iZombie (8:50) and how it probably is a show that requires starting from the beginning…
  • Kolsky’s experimentation with Season 15 of Top Chef (16:50), some of its most engaging characters, and how it really does provide the best of reality TV…
  • A run-down of the Oscars (35:50) and predictions for the actual winners (along with pleas for the real winners) heading into this weekend’s show…
  • The long list of shows returning or premiering in March of 2018 (57:55) and what of it will be worth watching…
  • Homework for next week (1:04:50), including: the first two episodes of NBC’s new dramedy Good Girls and the Season 2 premiere of FX’s Atlanta…

In Episode 107, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky try to figure out what the NBA’s proposed 1-16 playoff seeding idea would look like before jumping into the day’s assigned topics:

  • Marvel’s new movie sensation Black Panther (9:20) and its quality and importance, plus the awesomely unfolding career of director Ryan Coogler…
  • The soundtrack to the aforementioned Black Panther (25:25) and how it really is a companion piece to the film…
  • The new Chris Rock standup special Tambourine (30:30), how good it is and how important it is for comedians to have their space to consider ideas…
  • NBC’s new sitcom AP Bio (42:50), and whether it is worth watching or stands out from standard network fare in an interesting way…
  • Netflix’s new Queer Eye (48:35) and how it distinguishes itself from other reality television…
  • Homework for next week (1:00:00), including: giving AP Bio a couple more episodes to hit its stride, watching some Top Chef, checking out the first two episodes of The Joel McHale Show on Netflix and Derek giving iZombie a try as it begins its fourth season…
