Damian Lillard – The Toy Department

In Episode 224, Madden and Kolsky already talked about the weather pre-pod, so they dive right into:

The totality of HBO’s Perry Mason (1:25) and whether the guys are interested in a second season…
The current season of The Chi on Showtime (13:15) and how it has changed from what it seemed to be in its first season…
The new Seth Rogen film American Pickle (18:10), available on HBO Max, and how it is exceptionally bizarre and really quite enjoyable…
The return of HBO’s Hard Knocks (25:50) and the challenges the show is dealing with in this strange season…
Some NBA talk (33:55) as the bubble games give way to the official playoffs and Damian Lillard makes us all gaze on in wonder…
A little bit of MLB discussion (1:05:50) as we hit the 20-game mark, which is one third of this weird season…
Homework for next week (1:16:05), including: the new Netflix movie Project Power, HBO’s new show Lovecraft Country and LOTS of NBA Playoff action (with maybe some other stuff added mid-week)…

In Episode 164, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky obnoxiously reference their off-pod golf debate before getting back to business with:

The second episode of the final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones (1:50) and why Madden preferred the style of this week’s set-up to the premiere episode, plus an extended breakdown of who is likely to die this weekend…
Netflix’s animated anthology Love, Death & Robots (37:15) and how its short run time and ultra-realistic animation make for an interesting watch…
Amazon’s show Hanna (40:50) — based on the Saoirsie Ronan/Eric Bana movie of the same name — and what could make it stand out from the average action series or movie…
The Gad Elmaleh-starring Netflix series Huge in France (46:55) and whether its charm is enough to carry it without a lot of huge laughs…
The ongoing drama of the NBA Playoffs (50:50) with special focus on the greatness of Damian Lillard…
Homework for next week (1:06:15), including: Derek getting his act together and watching The New Negroes on BET/Comedy Central, another episode of Game of Thrones and EVEN MORE NBA playoff action…
