The Toy Department – Episode 232

In Episode 232, Madden and Kolsky make the mistake of getting into a Toobin conversational car crash (which was cut for your listening pleasure) before focusing on less disturbing fare:

  • The Showtime docu-series The Comedy Store (2:40) and the place that room holds in stand-up comedy history and lore…
  • Aaron Sorkin’s Netflix film The Trial of the Chicago 7 (13:30) and how both hosts found it enjoyable and informative…
  • The Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso (21:00) and its irresistible charm…
  • David Byrne’s American Utopia (26:55) and the general brilliance of one of our greatest musical and artistic minds…
  • The conclusion of HBO’s Lovecraft Country (36:35) and how it didn’t totally satisfy either host, though they’d both tune in for a second season…
  • A few quick NFL thoughts (42:40) about how nobody stands out as a great team through six games…
  • Homework for next week (46:40), including: the Sofia Coppola/Bill Murray movie On the Rocks (on Apple TV+), the new HBO show The Undoing, the Netflix mini-series The Queen’s Gambit, the West Wing reunion special on HBO Max and the Netflix movie The Boys in the Band… plus Week 7 of the NFL season…
