Toy Department &#8211; Episode 429"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Episode 429, Madden and Kolsky get into their relative appreciation of getting pounded with heavy metal before they buckle down on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The new FX show Welcome to Necaxa (3:20) and how the Eva Longoria project resembles but is also very different from the Rob &amp; Ryan project in Wrexham&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kolsky&#8217;s failure to watch Chief of War (15:00) thanks to a miscommunication on last pod (so maybe it&#8217;s homework now?)&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Netflix&#8217;s bat-guano insane The Hunting Wives (16:30) and the utter mediocrity of its nudity-heavy nonsense&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The five hours of Billy Joel documentary on HBO (22:05), whether he deserved that length and where his legacy lands&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amazon Prime Video&#8217;s teen drama sensation The Summer I Turned Pretty (46:35) and whether our hosts should suffer through the first season or two to get to the apparently very good third season&#8230; or are we just very old and out of touch? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another exciting episode of The Challenge 41: Vets &amp; New Threats (54:45) and an absolute banger of an elimination between two small rookie women who left everything they had in the ring&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Homework for TWO weeks from now (1:09:35), including: the next two episodes of The Challenge: Vets &amp; New Threats, perhaps revisiting the well-reviewed Chief of War, Noah Hawley&#8217;s new FX show Alien Earth, the John Grisham television adaptation The Rainmaker on USA\/Peacock and the new Dallas Cowboys\/Jerry Jones documentary on Netflix&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_466\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1218-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\"
