The Recruit – The Toy Department

In Episode 414, Madden and Kolsky are pressed for time after missing last week, so it’s some quick pleasantries and right into:

Two weeks of action from The Challenge All-Stars: Rivals (1:15), the early leaders in the clubhouse and the unfortunate (for entertainment purposes) elimination of Ashley and Aneesa…
Our hosts’ thoughts on all of the SNL 50 content (22:25) from the past weekend…
A couple minutes on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (33:30) with Phish nominated for the first time…
The Oscar-nominated film The Substance (40:05) and the excellent performances at its core…
More spy-show fodder with Netflix’s The Recruit (50:00) and Apple TV+’s Prime Target (54:25) and how one of our hosts found a deeper enjoyment in one of them…

In Episode 327, Madden and Kolsky debrief on Kolsky’s weird morning before locking in on:

The latest from The Challenge: Ride or Dies (2:40) and the critical error made by the Underdogs in the latest daily challenge…
The documentary Woooooo! Becoming Ric Flair on Peacock (19:20) and how the apparently-still-not-retired wrestler makes for a very compelling subject, even if many of the stories have been told before…
The Netflix film White Noise (27:05) from director Noah Baumbach and how it fails to really finish any thoughts despite starting an awful lot of them…
Netflix’s new spy series The Recruit (32:35) and Noah Centineo as a leading man/action star…
Homework for next Friday (37:00), including: the movie She Said on Peacock, the new series Kaleidoscope and the newest season of Last Chance U (both on Netflix)… and OF COURSE the next episode of The Challenge: Ride or Dies…
