In Episode 223, Madden and Kolsky talk a bit about the busy return of sports before switching to pop culture for discussions on:
- A quick revisiting of HBO’s Perry Mason (4:45) to set up a longer discussion after this coming Sunday’s finale…
- The second season of Netflix’s Umbrella Academy (11:55) and why the second season is even better than the first…
- The Go-Go’s documentary on Showtime (19:10) and how it is a little too cookie cutter to really stand out…
- Season Five of the Netflix docu-series Last Chance U (27:10) and the fertile storytelling ground that is Oakland’s Laney College…
- HBO’s docu-series I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (36:20) and how it deftly covers two converging storylines…
- Beyoncé’s new visual album Black is King (44:10) and the greatness of the Queen…
- Homework for next week (52:30), including: the season finale of HBO’s Perry Mason, the new HBO Max film An American Pickle and the return of Hard Knocks (also on HBO), plus LOTS of sports action and maybe a touch of Shark Week…
