In Episode 90, Matt Kolsky and Derek Madden bravely fight through a Skype failure at Madden’s Minneapolis studios to break down:
- Kolsky’s disappointment with the critically-acclaimed Blade Runner 2049 (2:00) and the state of film criticism…
- Madden’s experience at the Imagine Dragons show (11:40) and the merits — or lack thereof — of backloading your concert set list…
- The season premiere of Mr. Robot (17:10) and the split feelings of the hosts…
- HBO’s The Deuce (22:40) and why you should stick with it, even if the lack of major plot developments have you concerned…
- Showtime’s new comedy White Famous (31:20) and where its first two episodes fail and succeed…
- The new St. Vincent album MASSEDUCTION (40:35) and all the things that make Annie Clark a star…
- The start of the NBA season (45:25) and how it’s going to be a great one despite the championship being somewhat of a foregone conclusion…
- Homework for next week (1:14:10) including: Beck’s new album Colors, the new Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs film Battle of the Sexes, and new Netflix series Mindhunters and American Vandal…
