Baltimore Ravens – The Toy Department

In Episode 243, Madden and Kolsky are (unsuccessfully, again) aiming for a short episode, so they dive right into:

The new Tiger Woods documentary on HBO (2:40) and how it spins a fascinating story around a rather uninteresting personality…
The too-widely-acclaimed How To with John Wilson (20:05) and how the odd but unexceptional HBO Max show fails to live up to its billing…
The Apple TV+ original Mythic Quest (27:00), where Kolsky stopped watching and why Madden thinks it’s worth sticking with it…
The Netflix docu-series History of Swear Words (33:25) and the enjoyable comedy of filthy language…
Some quick sports thoughts — on the NBA’s COVID issues (39:50) and the NFL’s first Super Wild Card Weekend (49:25)…
Homework for of next Tuesday (1:02:45), including: the second part of HBO’s Tiger documentary, the new film Promising Young Woman (available on VOD), the Amazon Prime film One Night in Miami (directed by Regina King) and the third film in the Small Axe Series — Red, White and Blue; plus MORE NFL playoffs and NBA basketball… and DON’T MISS our coverage of The Challenge: Double Agents on Thursday!!!

In Episode 196, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky are pressed for time (and Kolsky has a sick baby again) but they still manage to get through:

The new film Parasite (2:50) and how director Bong Joon-ho told an incredibly engaging and meaningful story about class in Korea…
The film Bombshell (9:05) and how Madden and Kolsky processed the story of rampant sexual misconduct at Fox News…
The new NBC show Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (24:00) and whether the pilot showed enough promise to keep either of the hosts’ attention…
Some thoughts on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (32:25) after the end of its third season…
A wrap-up of Disney+’s The Mandalorian (34:05) and why both guys thought it was the best Star Wars content of the year…
Homework for next week (36:35), including: NFL PLAYOFFS!!! (and probably some other stuff but really this section of the pod is just an NFL playoffs discussion and whatever else the guys watch will be determined during the week)…
