In Episode 123, Derek Madden tells Matt Kolsky about his bad mood and warns everyone that he’s been drinking Haterade before they get into:
- Showtime’s The Affair (2:25), which Kolsky jumped in on at the start of Season 4, and how well the central gimmick of the show functions…
- Marvel’s Luke Cage on Netflix (14:40) and how Derek finds it to be very one-dimensional…
- IFC’s Brockmire (26:00) after two seasons, whether the second season upheld the promise of season one, and what might be in store moving forward…
- A brief detour into MTV’s The Challenge (36:30) and Kolsky’s new love for the show…
- Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s new collaborative album EVERYTHING IS LOVE (39:25) and the guys’ wildly divergent opinions on its quality…
- The World Cup (54:30): group stage results, the fun of the event and the growth of soccer spectatorship in America…
- Homework for next week (1:05:40), including: Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger on Freeform, the return of GLOW on Netflix, and check-ins on Succession and I’m Dying Up Here…
