Watchmen – The Toy Department

In Episode 194, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky went with a second straight Toy Department After Dark (and a day late), with focus on:

The season (and potentially series) finale of Watchmen on HBO (3:25), and how its slow build to the end rewarded viewers with another great Damon Lindelof show…
The new Netflix film Marriage Story (12:35) and the guys’ differing views on its success as a story of divorce…
The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 Reunion special (27:35) and the assorted dramatics that took place there…
19 for 19 (40:55)… Also known as year-end BEST OF lists from each of your hosts…
Homework for after the holidays (1:21:05), including: the Netflix cartoon Tuca and Bertie, four movies — the Amazon film The Report, Parasite, the new Star Wars film and the new Adam Sandler vehicle Uncut Gems– and trying the show Unbelievable on Netflix…

In Episode 187, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky waste no time getting down to their many topics, specifically:

HBO’s new series Watchmen (1:20) and how an interesting premise, Damon Lindelof’s writing and Regina King’s ass-kicking are more than enough to hold your attention…
Netflix’s Living With Yourself (14:40) and its lead Paul Rudd, plus the enjoyable sports-related cameo…
The new Amazon series Modern Love (25:05) and how it succeeds at being both delightful and heart-yanking…
Jenny Slate’s stand-up special on Netflix (29:50) and how it delivers a uniquely Jenny Slate experience more than a set of jokes…
Some thoughts on the tip-off of NBA season (39:10) including some talk about the first two games, the favorites and the overall theme…
