The Toy Department – Episode 154

In Episode 154, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky start with a quick back-and-forth about Madden’s recent weather and dog experiences before breaking down:

  • The new Netflix show Russian Doll (3:30) and the many delights of creator/lead Natasha Lyonne…
  • The new Netflix film High Flying Bird (13:50) and the many delights of director Steven Soderbergh and stars Andre Holland and Zazie Beetz…
  • The Valentine’s Day special episode of Netflix’s Big Mouth (22:45) and how the show is at the absolute peak of its powers…
  • The return of MTV’s The Challenge (29:10), its explosive first episode, plus the appeal of this season’s specific format…
  • A check-in on Top Chef (37:15) and the current front-runners, plus Kolsky is unnecessarily critical of Kentucky Sarah…
  • The premiere of Miracle Workers on TBS (49:45), its bizarre Game of Thrones-parody theme song, and how it’s not quite what the guys expected (but it certainly gave them enough to come back next week)…
  • Homework for next week (56:25), including: watching Hulu’s PEN15, trying out Umbrella Academy on Netflix, actually watching Black Earth Rising on Netflix and seeing the new film Fighting with my Family about WWE wrestler Page (plus Kolsky watches the NBA All-Star game and has fun, whether you like it or not)…
