Amanda Seyfried – The Toy Department

In Episode 294, Madden and Kolsky briefly address Derek’s disappointment with US Soccer before moving through:

Reaction to last night’s Top Chef: Houston episode (2:30), the remarkable technical skills needed for the doppelgänger challenge and who’s in the driver’s seat moving forward…
The absurdity of the psycho-erotic thriller Deep Water (25:25) and just how little sense the whole messy mess made…
The wonderful and rightfully Oscar-nominated CODA (32:15) and how this little movie charmed it’s way to big success…
HBO Max’s new Jake Johnson showcase Minx (41:50) and what a fun ride it is…
The Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources (46:40) and how it’s funny enough to watch but missing a lot of the original’s best features…
The latest in real-life-entrepreneur-gone-bad television, Hulu’s The Dropout (49:35), and how Amanda Seyfried’s phenomenal work is not enough to suck in one of our hosts…
Homework for next Friday (1:02:30), including: more Top Chef: Houston, along with the return of Donald Glover’s Atlanta on FX, the new Hulu show Life and Beth (starring Amy Schumer and Michael Cera), and HBO Max’s new limited series DMZ (starring Rosario Dawson and Benjamin Bratt)…

In Episode 238, Madden and Kolsky are debuting the new pod format/schedule and waste little time getting into:

HBO Max’s new Kaley Cuoco vehicle The Flight Attendant (1:50) and how the show and its star are both revelations…
The new Netflix film Mank (9:50) and whether David Fincher’s throwback to black-and-white movies has enough to draw in those who are not particularly interested in that time period…
The return of Big Mouth (24:05) and how Nick Kroll & Co. continue to execute at the highest possible level…
A few quick sports thoughts (34:30) touching on MLS and MLB…
Homework for of next Tuesday (39:35), including: HBO’s new special episodes of Euphoria, the new Soderbergh/Meryl Streep movie Let Them All Talk on HBO Max, the Riz Ahmed film The Sound of Metal and the Rachel Brosnahan action flick I’m Your Woman, both on Amazon Prime… PLUS, our first VERY SPECIAL CHALLENGE EPISODE coming on Thursday!!!
