Killer Mike – The Toy Department

In Episode 434, Madden and Kolsky discuss Derek’s upcoming trip to Austin City Limits before zeroing in on:

The latest from The Challenge: Vets & New Threats (7:45) and the product of the Lock In, plus Derek’s feelings about an elimination-free episode…
Netflix’s new series Black Rabbit (28:30) and whether it’s their attempt at a prestige show (and whether it’s successful, if so)…
Sterlin Harjo’s new Ethan Hawke-led series The Lowdown (35:35) and where FX stands in the theoretical prestige TV rankings…
Homework for THREE weeks from now (50:45), including: another episode of The Challenge: Vets & New Threats, Netflix’s new drama House of Guinness, the Mae Martin-created Wayward (also on Netflix), Hulu’s new comedy Chad Powers, and Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company on HBO, plus (hopefully) movies The Naked Gun and One Battle After Another…

In Episode 216, Madden and Kolsky are once again compelled to briefly address the issues of the day before spinning off into less pressing concerns:

This week’s penultimate episode of Top Chef (7:50) and how a stacked final stacks up…
This week’s episode of The Challenge (23:40), the many dramas of Dee Nguyen and the prospects for the home stretch of this season…
HBO’s new series I May Destroy You (41:05) from Michaela Coel and how interesting it appears at first blush…
ESPN’s latest 30 for 30 doc Be Water (44:10) and whether it does its subject (Bruce Lee) justice…
The new Run the Jewels record (56:15) and its potential place as a soundtrack to what is hopefully a pivotal time in history…
Homework for next week (1:03:25), including: the season finale of Top Chef, another Challenge episode, ESPN’s new 30 for 30 Long Gone Summer about Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire, the new Spike Lee joint Da 5 Bloods, and the new Judd Apatow/Pete Davidson collab The King of Staten Island…
