About this episode
In Episode 450, Madden and Kolsky return from an extended, travel-filled layoff to get into:
- The last few episodes of Top Chef: Carolinas (3:25) and how the group is seemingly not living up to its own standards over that time…
- Apple TV+’s new sexy psychological drama Imperfect Women (26:35) and the sudden plethora of sexy psychological dramas on streaming services…
- The third season of Lisa Kudrow’s HBO series The Comeback (37:45) and how it’s mostly more of the same (other than a clever little AI storyline) but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing…
- The return of Amazon Prime’s “Jury Duty” with Company Retreat (41:35) and how it’s quite funny even if it can’t quite reach the hilarity of the original season…
- A few thoughts on the NBA (44:50) as we head into the postseason…
- Homework for next week (57:55), including: the next episode of Top Chef, AMC’s new show The Audacity, the new Dan Levy comedy Big Mistakes on Netflix, and UNTOLD: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom (also on Netflix)…
