The Toy Department – Episode 143
In Episode 143, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky debate the finer points of the many flavors of M&M’s before focusing in on:
- The new film Widows (6:25) and a mild disagreement over its overall quality but general agreement about a lot of excellent performances…
- The new film Green Book (21:30) and how it is effectively a perfect holiday-time, Oscar-bait movie…
- Netflix’s new Chuck Lorre dramedy The Kominsky Method (32:55) and how it represents an impressive turn to quality for the prolific producer…
- Showtime’s Escape At Dannemora (38:00) and how it’s tough to say too much about a show after one oddly paced episode…
- The 13th season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (41:20), particularly the season finalé, and where the show goes from here…
- Homework for next week (49:15), including: the Coen Brothers/Netflix film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the limited series Little Drummer Girl on AMC, Trevor Noah’s new standup special (available on Netflix) and a season wrap-up discussion of The Challenge: Final Reckoning…
