The Rehearsal – The Toy Department

In Episode 420, Madden and Kolsky get into some dentistry (and periodontistry?) before circling around to:

The latest from Top Chef: Destination Canada (3:55), where Tristen Epps is absolutely clobbering the competition…
A check-in on season four of Hacks (19:10) which is just a genuinely great television show with two excellent leads…
Nathan Fielder’s HBO madness The Rehearsal (22:45) and how spectacularly it confounds Kolsky…
Another season of Black Mirror on Netflix (31:15)… or is it Black Mirror? The guys discuss…
A couple of quick NBA playoff thoughts (38:15) after a couple games in the first round…
Homework for next week (56:50), including: another episode of Top Chef: Destination Canada, some more of Black Mirror’s new season, season two of Andor and two action flicks: G20 on Amazon Prime and Havoc on Netflix…

In Episode 308, begin with a long detour into Dave Chappelle before focusing in on last week’s homework, specifically:

The latest from The Challenge USA on CBS (18:50) after an early trivia episode, and how the Big Brother players are stuck on Big Brother strategy while The Challenge plays out around them…
The Peacock comedy Bust Down (32:00) and how it’s perfectly good but not necessarily compelling to either of our hosts…
Issa Rae’s new project Rap Sh!t on HBO Max (35:30) and how both guys are into it, but took a second episode to get there (perhaps because they’re getting old!)…
Nathan Fielder’s new HBO Max show The Rehearsal (40:20) and whether the pure absurdity and over-the-top nature of it is compelling and interesting or not…
The Netflix action flick The Gray Man (47:20) and whether it’s good enough to be the foundation of a big-time action franchise for them…
Homework for next Friday (58:50), including: The Resort on Peacock, Paper Girls on Amazon Prime and the second season of Reservation Dogs on FX/Hulu, plus the next episode of The Challenge USA on CBS…
