Dan Levy – The Toy Department

In Episode 451, Madden and Kolsky are up late for a special after-dark edition, so don’t worry if everyone sounds a little punchy as they chat about:

The latest from Top Chef (2:45) where a BIG BBQ challenge brought out the best in the chefs and there’s a hanging mystery heading into next week…
The Netflix doc UNTOLD: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom (24:10) which has a fascinating subject but doesn’t entirely come together as a documentary…
The new Jonah Hill-directed movie Outcome (32:15) on Apple TV+, where the camp is high, the ambitions are relatively low, and one of our hosts is very annoyed…
Netflix’s new Dan Levy comedy Big Mistakes (41:50) and how the frantic nature of the whole thing makes it tough to enjoy…
A hard pass on talking soccer (47:30), but a few thoughts on the NBA as we head into the playoffs…
Homework for next week (53:35), including: the next episode of Top Chef, the Apple TV+ series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the return of Netflix’s show Beef (as an anthology series) and a WHOLE LOT of playoff basketball…

In Episode 163, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky go through the nitty gritty of Kolsky’s new job as an in-home nurse before navigating through:

The return of Game of Thrones (8:50) and why one of our hosts liked the long-awaited season premiere more than the other…
The apparent binge sensation Schitt’s Creek (19:35) and whether it’s worthy of the recommendations the guys had been given…
Netflix’s Our Planet (23:50) and the joy of watching wildlife shot from incredible angles in brilliant high definition…
The debut full-length from young pop prospect Billie Eilish (35:20) and how she continues to show the makings of a star…
The start of the NBA Playoffs (423:05), with special focus on the Warriors’ massive collapse in Game 2 against the Clippers…
Homework for next week (54:45), including: more NBA Playoffs, the new Netflix show Huge in France, The New Negroes with Baron Vaugh and Open Mike Eagle on BET/Comedy Central, the Netflix anthology Love, Death and Robots, and Hanna on Amazon Prime…
