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!…

In Episode 130, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky are a day late thanks to Kolsky suffering from a nasty cold, but still manage to get through:

  • Nicki Minaj’s new album Queen (4:15) and how its lack of focus and extended length take a little away from its high points…
  • Mitski’s new album Be The Cowboy (12:35) and how remarkable precision within an eclectic approach makes it a triumph…
  • USA’s show The Sinner (19:10) and whether Season 2 has sucked the guys in yet…
  • Stories from the life of Derek Madden including his new dog (27:55) and seeing a couple of old bands in concert – specifically Pearl Jam (32:10) and Smashing Pumpkins (37:00)…
  • Some quick thoughts about the Oakland A’s (43:40) and the state of baseball in general…
  • Homework for next week (47:50), including: Travis Scott’s album ASTROWORLD, an episode or two of AMC’s new show Lodge 49 and the season finalé of Sharp Objects on HBO, plus Madden is seeing Hamilton and will report back…
