In Episode 294, Madden and Kolsky briefly address Derek’s disappointment with US Soccer before moving through:

Reaction to last night’s Top Chef: Houston episode (2:30), the remarkable technical skills needed for the doppelgänger challenge and who’s in the driver’s seat moving forward…
The absurdity of the psycho-erotic thriller Deep Water (25:25) and just how little sense the whole messy mess made…
The wonderful and rightfully Oscar-nominated CODA (32:15) and how this little movie charmed it’s way to big success…
HBO Max’s new Jake Johnson showcase Minx (41:50) and what a fun ride it is…
The Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources (46:40) and how it’s funny enough to watch but missing a lot of the original’s best features…
The latest in real-life-entrepreneur-gone-bad television, Hulu’s The Dropout (49:35), and how Amanda Seyfried’s phenomenal work is not enough to suck in one of our hosts…
Homework for next Friday (1:02:30), including: more Top Chef: Houston, along with the return of Donald Glover’s Atlanta on FX, the new Hulu show Life and Beth (starring Amy Schumer and Michael Cera), and HBO Max’s new limited series DMZ (starring Rosario Dawson and Benjamin Bratt)…

The premiere of Season 3 of IFC’s Brockmire (16:25) and its incredible hit rate of hilarity…

The return of BBC America’s Killing Eve (34:55) and how excited both guys are to return to the world that Season 1 established…
Showtime’s The Chi (40:10) establishing itself as a well-executed premium drama as it begins its second season…
The first episode of FX’s Fosse/Verdon (48:35) and whether there’s more here than enthralling acting performances…
