The Toy Department – Episode 126
In Episode 126, please excuse any audio issues AGAIN on the part of Matt Kolsky, as he joins Derek Madden live (to tape) from a DIFFERENT road trip, specifically on the road to Lake Tahoe, CA where he is scheduled to see the band Phish… The discussions cover:
- Kolsky’s questionable life decisions…
- The USA show Sinner (4:00) which is currently binge-able on Netflix — but is it worth binging??
- The new Sacha Baron Cohen show Who Is America? (12:30) and how the same old Ali G schtick falls flat in 2018…
- Hannah Gadsby’s standup special Nanette (26:55) and how she brilliantly crafts a show that is both hilarious and incredibly thoughtful and thought-provoking…
- Boots Riley’s triumphant directorial debut Sorry to Bother You (37:15) and how amazingly original and insane and beautiful it is…
- Homework for next week (50:45), including: well, nothing — the hosts were woefully underprepared for this portion of the show…
- Derek’s experience at The Pretenders’ show (53:55) and how you should probably go see legends of music whenever you can…
