Korea – The Toy Department

In Episode 253, Madden and Kolsky hit the ground running with a short show in mind, covering:

The new Marvel show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (1:45) and how it is essentially exactly what you would expect it to be, however far that gets you…
Netflix’s Operation Varsity Blues documentary (6:10) and some of the interesting choices they made to tell the story of the country’s biggest college admissions scandal…
The Steven Yeun-starring Minari (21:50) and how it’s a quiet family drama but a very good one, despite both hosts finding Yeun’s Oscar nomination a little curious…
The also Oscar-nominated Another Round (28:35) and the fascinating ride it takes the viewer on…
Homework for next Tuesday (36:25), including: the HBO Max show Beartown out of Sweden, Nate Bargatze special The Greatest Average American, the new Tina Turner documentary on HBO and the Netflix documentary The Last Blockbuster… and DON’T MISS our coverage of The Challenge: Double Agents on Thursday!!!

In Episode 196, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky are pressed for time (and Kolsky has a sick baby again) but they still manage to get through:

The new film Parasite (2:50) and how director Bong Joon-ho told an incredibly engaging and meaningful story about class in Korea…
The film Bombshell (9:05) and how Madden and Kolsky processed the story of rampant sexual misconduct at Fox News…
The new NBC show Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (24:00) and whether the pilot showed enough promise to keep either of the hosts’ attention…
Some thoughts on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (32:25) after the end of its third season…
A wrap-up of Disney+’s The Mandalorian (34:05) and why both guys thought it was the best Star Wars content of the year…
Homework for next week (36:35), including: NFL PLAYOFFS!!! (and probably some other stuff but really this section of the pod is just an NFL playoffs discussion and whatever else the guys watch will be determined during the week)…
