Toy Department &#8211; Episode 335"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Episode 335, Madden and Kolsky address Kolsky&#8217;s complaint about Bravo&#8217;s programming schedule deception and Derek&#8217;s potential relationship with Padma before launching into: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The debut episode of Top Chef Season 20 (5:25), the old favorites who have returned as All-Stars and the exciting crop of international chefs who have joined the proceedings&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The premiere of Paramount+&#8217;s The Challenge: World Championship (31:50), a very impressive field of contestants (other than the Argentine contingent) and how the partnerships shaped up after the first night of episodes&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Oscar-nominated film Women Talking (55:40) and how a great cast and heavy premise don&#8217;t quite get to the point of making a particularly interesting or exceptional viewing experience&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The surprisingly enjoyable and well-executed Daisy Jones and the Six on Amazon Prime Video (1:04:35) and how sometimes just doing an established thing at a really high level is enough to be a really good show&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mel Brooks&#8217; History of the World, Part II (1:07:40) and how it&#8217;s a lot like Part 1 &#8212; which is to say incredibly stupid and pretty damn funny, though one of our hosts enjoyed it more than the other&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Homework for next week (1:11:15), including: the end of the first season of HBO&#8217;s The Last of Us, the premiere of the final season of Apple&#8217;s Ted Lasso and the Luther movie on Netflix&#8230; PLUS another week of The Challenge: World Championship on Paramount+ AND Top Chef Season 20 (World All-Stars) on Bravo&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3969\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-967-1\" preload=\"none\"
