In Episode 76, Derek Madden finds Matt Kolsky on vacation in sunny Portland, Oregon to chat about:
- A check-in with the NBA’s insane free agency season (2:35) with special focus on the now-even-more-loaded Western Conference…
- The romantic comedy film The Big Sick (29:35), its writer and star Kumail Nanjiani and some of the other excellent acting performances…
- The action/crime adventure Baby Driver (41:25) and how well director Edgar Wright executed his unique and engaging vision…
- Jay-Z’s new record 4:44 (53:20), how he fits into the hip hop landscape and what it reflects about his actual relationship with Beyoncé…
- The 1973 album Betty Davis by Betty Davis (1:09:35), a powerhouse of funk that neither Madden nor Kolsky had heard of two weeks ago…
- Some homework for next week (1:14:05): the FX show Snowfall, along with whatever else Madden and Kolsky decide on during the week…
- A couple of final thoughts on the food scene in Chicago (1:15:30), where Kolsky will be for next week’s recording…
