In Episode 156, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky rap briefly about Kolsky’s bizarre schedule before delving into:

  • Some debriefing on Sunday’s 91st Academy Awards (1:20) including winners, losers and over-reactors…
  • The premiere of the third season of Documentary Now on IFC (30:30) and what turned out to be a hilarious take on Wild Wild Country…
  • A wrap-up discussion of HBO’s True Detective Season 3 (37:00) and why Derek really didn’t like it at all…
  • The new film Fighting With My Family (46:55) and how it was a charming, if not entirely true-to-life, look at the early life and career of WWE’s Paige…
  • The first episode of Desus & Mero in their new home on Showtime (56:35) and how both guys think it can be a huge success and will make an interesting test case for new-look late night television…
  • Homework for next week (1:01:55), including: actually seeing the new HBO film O.G, the return of Pamela Adlon’s Better Things on FX, and the Netflix movie Paddleton (plus whatever else pops up during the week)…

In Episode 141, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky ignore their mandate by mentioning this week’s elections before shuffling into the Toy Department to get into:

  • Kolsky’s shallow dive into Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal (3:25) and how it doesn’t quite rise to appointment television for him…
  • A wrap-up discussion on Season 2 of The Deuce (13:00) and how both guys continue to love the show and have deep attachments with the characters…
  • More thoughts on the British show Bodyguard (22:05) which is available on Netflix, and how it turns out to be more like 24 than something like Luther…
  • The Queen/Freddy Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody (27:55) and all the reasons it was a bitter disappointment to both Madden and Kolsky…
  • Homework for next week (50:50), including: seeing the new movies Widows and Green Book, the new Julia Roberts show Homecoming on Amazon, the return of Room 104 on HBO and the new Vince Staples album FM!…
