Oscar Isaac – The Toy Department

In Episode 296, Madden and Kolsky discuss Derek’s hangover and potential parody songs about it before getting their act together to talk about:

The completely watchable but generally unimpressive Moonshot (2:50), a middle-of-the-road-to-the-moon romantic comedy that’s nothing special but not awful, though it does threaten to pigeonhole Lana Condor into a remarkably small niche…
The utterly awful Netflix movie The Bubble (9:20) and just how bafflingly bad it is, particularly given the often funny and definitely talented people involved…
The new Disney+ entry to the MCU — Moon Knight (16:40) and how it definitely leaves a lot of unanswered questions through two episodes, led by Oscar Isaac’s madcap performance as the central character…
This week’s episode of Top Chef: Houston (30:20), the new leaderboard, the remarkably high level of competition and a very cool challenge honoring trailblazing women from Texas…
Homework for TWO Fridays from now (51:10), including: more Top Chef: Houston, along with the return of Better Call Saul, the new Apple TV+ series Roar, the new season of Netflix’s Natasha Lyonne vehicle Russian Doll, Hulu’s second season of Woke (starring Lamorne Morris) and the new HBO Max joint Tokyo Vice…

In Episode 159, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky literally talk about weather before moving into the world of pop culture to break down:

The upcoming NCAA Tournament (1:35) and Kolsky’s decision not to fill out a bracket…
The season finalé of Top Chef (9:30), with thoughts on food, contestants, judges and (of course) Padma…
Netflix’s new movie Triple Frontier (21:05) and whether it’s worthy of its cast…
The return of Showtime’s Billions (26:25) and how well it has developed a big cast of interesting characters…
The premiere of the final season of Catastrophe (32:00) on Amazon and whether it is still breaking new ground in season four…
The series finale of Pete Holmes’ HBO show Crashing (35:30) and how the guys would have liked to see more…
Homework for next week (43:50), including: the Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt on Netflix, plus two Hulu shows — The Act and Shrill, and LOTS of college basketball…
