The Toy Department – Episode 128
In Episode 128, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky fire up the iPhone reggae horn for a wild conversational ride covering:
- The season finalé of HBO’s Succession (5:15) and how it steadily improved from the start of the season to a critical darling and future powerhouse by the end…
- Kolsky’s attempt to get into the now-completed AMC show Halt & Catch Fire (24:25) and what appeals about that show in 2018…
- Kolsky’s less successful attempt to get into the old NBC classic The West Wing (28:25) and his inability to stop thinking about modern politics in watching early 20-year-old political wish fulfillment…
- Derek’s attempt to get into Love Island (37:50) and how it might take a few shows to get into its rhythm…
- The new Mission:Impossible film (47:45) and how it functions as a microcosm of the full scale Tom Cruise experience…
- Derek’s experience at Lollapalooza (58:45) and the state of pop music and festival audiences…
- Homework for next week (1:06:45), including: the first two weeks of Better Call Saul’s fourth season, the films Eighth Grade and Three Identical Strangers, and the return of Insecure on HBO… plus, STAY TUNED FOR (SILLY) BONUS CONTENT!!!
