In Episode 127, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky return from a week off with a brief analysis of their podcast introduction, then focus in and banter about:
- The return of Orange is the New Black (2:40) on Netflix and how the show has once again gone through a paradigm shift in the situations of the characters…
- Derek tries to convince Kolsky to dive into watching NBC’s classic The West Wing (13:20) and the more recent Halt & Catch Fire (18:35)…
- A short aside into Kolsky’s recent binge experience with Love Island (22:35), a British sex/competition show currently available on Hulu…
- The Robin Williams documentary Come Inside My Mind (27:15) currently airing on HBO, and how it does a good job of surveying Williams’ life but doesn’t really get all the way into his mind…
- A brief detour into Jack Nicholson and the Lakers (37:05) which diverges into Kobe Bryant conversation…
- A discussion of HBO’s Sharp Objects (45:00) at the halfway point, covering how much faith the guys have in it coming together in a meaningful way through its second half…
- Homework for next week (56:20), including: the films Mission Impossible: Fallout and Eighth Grade, both in theaters now, as well as Kolsky checking out The West Wing and Halt & Catch Fire and Madden sampling Love Island on Hulu, plus Madden is heading to Lollapalooza so concert stories coming…
