The Toy Department – Episode 224
In Episode 224, Madden and Kolsky already talked about the weather pre-pod, so they dive right into:
- The totality of HBO’s Perry Mason (1:25) and whether the guys are interested in a second season…
- The current season of The Chi on Showtime (13:15) and how it has changed from what it seemed to be in its first season…
- The new Seth Rogen film American Pickle (18:10), available on HBO Max, and how it is exceptionally bizarre and really quite enjoyable…
- The return of HBO’s Hard Knocks (25:50) and the challenges the show is dealing with in this strange season…
- Some NBA talk (33:55) as the bubble games give way to the official playoffs and Damian Lillard makes us all gaze on in wonder…
- A little bit of MLB discussion (1:05:50) as we hit the 20-game mark, which is one third of this weird season…
- Homework for next week (1:16:05), including: the new Netflix movie Project Power, HBO’s new show Lovecraft Country and LOTS of NBA Playoff action (with maybe some other stuff added mid-week)…
