Industry – The Toy Department

In Episode 310, Madden and Kolsky refuse to waste time before diving into this week’s pop culture smorgasbord:

The latest episode of The Challenge USA (1:25) and whether these CBS competitors are using the wrong strategy, plus the Fear of Tyson that seems to be pervasive in the house…
The latest Disney+ Marvel release, I Am Groot (32:00) and how it’s relatively insubstantial but largely enjoyable, plus a discussion of Vin Diesel’s voice-over workflow…
The second season of HBO’s Industry (37:40) and what makes it so interesting to Derek while Kolsky can’t get into it…
The newest season of All or Nothing, focusing on the Arsenal football club (46:20) and how entertaining a watch it is, thanks in large part to the wild insanity of Arsenal’s last season, which Madden experienced live as a die-hard fan…
The new Netflix fantasy series The Sandman (57:25) and how it’s really quite good and incredibly entertaining and watchable…
Homework for next Friday (1:08:00), including: Amazon Prime Video’s adaptation of A League of Their Own, the Netflix film The Man from Toronto and the limited series Black Bird on Apple TV+, plus the next episode of The Challenge USA on CBS…

In Episode 235, Madden and Kolsky are taking advantage of Baby Kolsky’s nap, so they get right into:

Showtime’s new space comedy Moonbase 8 (3:25) and how it’s funny at times but doesn’t seem to amount to much…
The new Song Exploder show on Netflix (11:55) and how interesting and worthwhile the show remains in visual form…
HBO’s The Undoing (19:30) and how it’s an intriguing mystery at the three week mark…
HBO’s new financial world show Industry (25:30) and the surprising directorial effort in the first episode…
Homework for next week (3:50), including: catching up on The Bachelorette and checking out the big controversy, the debut of the newest season of The Crown on Netflix, a catch-up on the current season of Fargo, a check-in on Good Lord Bird and a wrap-up of The Queen’s Gambit… plus Week 10 of the NFL season…
