they can get deeper into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The latest from The Challenge: Vets &amp; New Threats (4:35) where there are increasingly fewer vets (especially on the men&#8217;s side) but plenty of threats all over&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Shane Black film Play Dirty (20:50) and the joys of watching Lakeith Stanfield, plus a spoiler that we forgot to pre-alert, so look alive \ud83d\ude02&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Hulu documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery (26:15) and the importance of the festival, in retrospect, plus Kolsky&#8217;s irrational distaste for Sarah McLachlan&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colin Hanks&#8217; documentary John Candy: I Like Me (36:10) and the relative ambitions of a bio-doc versus an event doc&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The new Naked Gun movie on Paramount+ (43:45) and how Liam Neeson &amp; Co. did well to capture the essence of the franchise but could have provided a few more laughs&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A handful of sports thoughts (48:20) from gambling in the NBA to Arsenal&#8217;s spot atop the EPL favorites&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Homework for next week (1:10:00), including: another episode of The Challenge: Vets &amp; New Threats, actually making Derek get to the theater to see One Battle After Another, plus Season 2 of Nobody Wants This and the new Kathryn Bigelow movie A House of Dynamite, both on Netflix&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5302\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1239-1\"
