The Toy Department – Episode 195

In Episode 195, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky return after an extended absence with some discussion of movies they’re NOT addressing before zeroing in on:

  • The Netflix cartoon Tuca and Bertie (4:45) and Kolsky’s weird cartoon aversion issue…
  • The new Netflix series Unbelievable (12:40) and the excellent performances that make it incredibly binge-able…
  • The new Star Wars film Rise of Skywalker (19:00) and the crushing disappointment of this saga’s conclusion…
  • The Amazon film The Report (37:30) and how some incredible performances drive home the magnitude of an important moment in recent history…
  • The Safdie Brothers film Uncut Gems (44:05) and how it’s a perfectly good movie that has become rather overrated…
  • Homework for next week (1:00:40), including: the movies Parasite and Bombshell, plus the new NBC show Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and wrap-up discussions of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Mandalorian…
