    THE THICK OF IT PILOT: Reviewed!  Another hour full of all sorts of shit. Two guys saying things to each other and/or at each other. Folding iPhones and all sorts. Siri tries to butt in, as she often does. The cold open gets sweary. Very a guy just watched the pilot of The Thick Of It and Malcolm Tucker is his new spirit animal. We both give main character energy on this episode because we’re both very excited about the 21 year old pilot of The Thick Of It. Politics has outpaced satire by the year 2026 and AI is days away from killing us all (see the tweet of the week for more) but hey, until then let us reminisce about the halcyon days of the 2000s when an announcement about how there is no announcement could theoretically be your downfall as a public figure. Not nearly as many sidebars or side quests to speak of on today’s episode so I guess we’re sneaking them all into the shownotes hehe.  We might sometimes argue and annoy each other but hey, we don’t chat shit about each other nearly as much as the characters on The Thick Of It do! And at least we’re here for you and each other each and every week. With our very different personalities. We’re very differently flavoured douchebags but yes douchebags nonetheless. *Your* douchebags.   But yes. As S07 winds down (and, potentially, the competitive stakes!) we are back in our bog standard era. No more footie, movies or the 80s! Pilot season. Pilots forever. Pilots always. We low key can’t wait to bail on this podcast and finally definitively end it all and break up the podcast … just so we can do another pilot of something else and start this whole shit back up again! Lets gooo! Now speaking of lets go and lets start the show and how we did it and we’re here … are you in or not? Let's get into the thick of it! Stay in the loop!  Watch the pilot of The The Thick Of It for goodness sake, you weirdly endearing listeners of ours: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074rc0/the-thick-of-it-series-1-episode-1 Watch ArmandoIanucci (one word) describe the process behind the making of an episode of The Thick Of It, its a rip of a feature from the DVDs and is so cool! Although after describing the difference between the improvised scene and the more by-the-book scene, the scenes shown back to back do not seem super different lol. But still: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNXPdMzCohI Check out the script samples mentioned by Ianucci that one of said DVD discs would have (once upon a time) easily allowed you to download in PDF form: https://archive.org/details/shooting_202305 Watch the Youtuber Loomer discuss why this great show was ended by stupid modern politics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkBacy0hhTY Here is a programme Armando Ianucci and Stewart Lee did together since Lee came up but I haven’t been brave enough to pitch him. Strong Message Here is a guide to the use and abuse of political language. How fitting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHuty-Umlec A Malcolm Tucker compendium, for those in the know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjKHPv7b3fQ Tweet of the week: https://x.com/hilbertspaess/status/2097476196791709843 Lol boring: https://www.youtube.com/live/39BalPDuTo0 Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.show Check out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.com Check out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpod Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhour Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahour Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher claimed that The Thick Of It was very Veep-ish but the record was quickly corrected that Veep is in fact very Thick Of It-ish! We hope you heard the correction @JVD_Games. Order we watched it in be damned, order it was created in for chronological tracking of influence and inspiration all the way!  Maybe one day all the Bones & chilling w/partners (whether in the 2000s, 2010s or 2020s) will make it to the pod, we'll see: https://www.netflix.com/watch/70154029 Hosted on Acast.

    S00E26 CINEMA CLUB: Twelve quid for six kernels

    NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE: Reviewed!  We have a plan! We have a vision. Whether it is to get famous, “podcast famous” (very different to regular famous), play Wembley, Trinity or even the Rivoli … rest assured … we have a plan. And this episode might not exactly provide spoilers for how we’re going to parlay this podcast lark into a movie eventually but it is a skeleton key of sorts for this eventual phoenix-like transformation we will one day experience.  Until then, keep up every one! We watched the entire web-series a little while ago. You were there and watched along, you remember: https://nirvannathebandthe.show/ And then we reviewed it. You listened, you remember: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s06e22-do-you-want-me-and-my-g-friend-to-come-to-your-b-day/id1663210349?i=1000751698048   And then in the privacy of our own homes we watched the two viceland seasons of Nirvanna the Band The Show. Fandom: entrenched and confirmed. And eventually we also planned the podcast’s first ever trip to the Prince Charles Cinema around seeing this movie!   Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol did it and they’re here! Lets f*****g go!  Go watch the movie somewhere please, don’t not watch it. We spoil it a lot though so as we say on the episode. Bail on this episode if you are at all interested in catching the movie. Enjoy us as a little dessert after! There are three more showings this month at the Prince Charles Cinema. Go! Go watch it: https://princecharlescinema.com/film/31617400/nirvanna-the-band-the-show-the-movie/ Shout out Remy for doing a fantastic job interviewing Jay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rv3rpazfXw&t=14s Check out her channel, it is great: https://www.youtube.com/@remytheobald This video by MsMojo is very fun and shows you the top 10 behind the scenes facts (in the opinion of MsMojo but sure, still): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlOhpK7BAL4 Matt Johnson has done a few fun videos for Letterboxd, including roasting reviews of his movie Blackberry (previously reviewed on the pod) and our main takeaway is we need more “pith”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S_zwmYZLU0 Matt did another one with Jay (more snappy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAUqNp7jjKc  Little White Lies review of Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie.

    S07E20 I still have the confetti in my drawer

    MOURINHO EPISODE 1: Reviewed!  We’re sorry! Because we’re NOT a football podcast and the world cup is LONG GONE and yet … here we are again! We are honestly kind of confused. A Chelsea fan and a Manchester United fan started a podcast about culture a few years ago but sometimes … football just gets a hold of us! It’s a lot! It is childhood and nostalgia and the art of the sport and the soap opera and characters and drama of it all. It is storytelling! It is dudes hanging out with the apparatus of a game to justify it … hmm sounds just like this podcast I d̶o̶ enjoy.  I know that as much as we are a competitive game-show at heart … we are lovers, not fighters! So why do we keep interrupting the summer of love with all this fussing and feuding and football!! Well variety is the spice of life isn’t it, much like Variety Video was once the spice of North Harrow high street. And that is what you come to us for really, whether you know it or not: every week is an unexpected shout. We’ll go from weeks of lovey dovey stuff to something crazy, a magazine to the Grammys (still a few months left of 2026 from what I can tell!), a short story to a documentary about artists! It’s everything. How haven’t we reviewed an art exhibition yet? A play? Surely we will eventually cover every inch of the artistic tapestry that is our culture. Or as Homer Simpson once said: “Marge, please! I enjoy all the meats of our cultural stew.”  Watch the entire Mourinho series! But start here, with episode 1: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81771561 The Guardian didn’t think this documentary was incredible: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/aug/11/mourinho-review-if-he-didnt-want-to-open-up-maybe-he-shouldnt-have-starred-in-a-docuseries The filmmakers behind the documentary were interviewed by the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/aug/18/jose-mourinho-netflix-series-director-interview-joe-pearlman The director of the doc spoke to TalkSport: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEjJ2x7Yb9s The director and producer (the interview I refer to most on the show) both spoke to a channel called awards heaven. I really enjoyed it! Christopher shared his thoughts about the interview off pod, unfortunately. So only I will ever know them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlR-6btbw8E Christopher’s sole fest mention (for now) was Zach Thompson. Which led to a long chat on the plight of the balladeer (!) influenced by Bob Dylan. A pretty tidy cold open followed by *dozens* of minutes without mentioning Mourinho. Then we got excited talking about Mourinho. Should have started earlier then! Now we’re doing the kind of strategic post-game debrief they show you in the ALL OR NOTHING shows. CCCAH companion pod where we watch back/critique the show the day after? Oh yeah, song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkZwqlu-l5k  Lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkZwqlu-l5k I'm still wondering if a certain SPECIAL someone who expressed an interest in following along with a bit of the footie after the World Cup might start, I don’t know … picking a team … Marseille maybe … United … or hey, joining me on a wonderful journey supporting Chelsea! It is a new season, sure, but let the summer of love continue ...   Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.show Check out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.com Check out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpod Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhour Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahour Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher and I remembered we both watched the 2010 Champions League final between Inter Milan and Bayern at The Junction! It is a lovely pub in Harrow that sure is getting a lot of our business this week. Have they ever been reviewed by brew.ding?

    S07E19 I don't have dreams!? I want to go to work and be good!?

    OFFICE ROMANCE: Reviewed! Much like Proust’s madeleine (bear with me here) Christopher’s Huel meal really opened up an entire world of thought for us during the cold open today. Stay tuned for Christopher’s secret tidbit that might save you on a future delayed journey from Victoria station. Perhaps if Brett had included the differences in US and UK attitudes towards pints of ice water … one of us would have been more on board with today’s film! And to be fair to the makers of this film: we also don’t know if we are making a podcast or making fun of podcasts some days. It’s a fine line. For example, once upon a time we had a standard issue cold open segment. Now it's a behemoth! So much discourse before we even get to the 30 second game! On today’s world famous 30 second game (the cold open game during which, as those who are not new to this but true to this know best: we pitch a content-based improv game to the person we pitched the content to, during which they will be explaining what the podcast is all about … gosh we need a 30 second game for the 30 second game!) the fellas re-enacted the famous rom-com trope of the WAIT TAKE ME BACK scene at the end of a lot of our favourite rom coms, whether they’re AIRPORT based or AIRLINE SHE E O (shout out) based. So the boys did their rom com homage. And Jeffrey won back Christopher. At least thoroughly and romantically enough to get through the episode. We’ll see how the *will they won’t they* of it all progresses throughout the rest of season 7. Maybe one day we can do a season on clay Christopher. And hey. Maybe clay means Patreon. Who’s to know, eh?  As usual, a warning: so many spoilers! Watch Office Romance here: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81939823 More importantly, as mentioned on the podcast, watch Fish Jelly Film Reviews and their review of Office Romance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqTEcmvQX8k&t We didn’t mention it on the podcast but here is another fun YouTube review from StutterBox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJETOUUfyvI Oh f**k, Brett is still doing Films To Be Buried With! And it looks like the latest episodes have featured his Office Romance co-stars … and James Acaster! Oh Brett, can I resist your temptations as well as J.Lo did for like two scenes or what!?: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/films-to-be-buried-with-with-brett-goldstein/id1408585620 This is Christopher’s hand-selected highlight from the crazy press tour Brett and J.Lo have been on for this film. Honestly, maybe I should have just watched a supercut of all the press tour snippets for the bang for your buck entertainment value these clips are clearly giving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDyh1gK9Rd8 As any good review of a British-adjacent comedy should, our review today got us thinking of Johnny English (2003): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFmFwCRLsK4 And as any Johnny English/James Bond reference should, our review today then got us thinking of Get Smart (2008): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9WNBO3szgQ Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.show Check out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.com Check out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpod Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhour Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahour Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher was all sad about losing the season before we even revealed the scores for today’s episode! Lol. Also the football team (sometimes a player carries a team like an actor carries a film) and penalty shoot out (Christopher felt like a goalkeeper facing down quite the deficit by the time of the score-reveals) metaphors went hard … perhaps an easter egg for the impending pitch … ?  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81771560 Hosted on Acast.

    S07E18 You’re a John Cusack guy watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Out going "Why Don’t I Like This"

    FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF: Reviewed!  We never have a week off at CCCAHHQ, let alone a day off! We’re out here grinding! Week in and week out. No long winded excuses and elaborate ruses needed! Just every Thursday … here for you. Audio. Pretty good. Thumbnail. Low budget. Show title. Lol. And show notes. Long.  Except for that one time I forgot to do shownotes (or was it two times … three?) and Christopher texted me a sad face emoji in the morning and I was all like “sorry I was asleep” or something. Not the most well-thought out plan there. I guess … life just came at me pretty fast! You know, I think I’m gonna recommend saying this famous line from F B’s D O to the camera of your life as often as possible. In a motivational-coach manifesting mantra kind of way. Interior monologues are great but let’s all try this together shall we, something we (especially one of us!) loves doing on the programme and advocating for generally: yapping and yapping! We’re a bunch of dapper yappers here ladies and gentleme. So let’s do it … three, two, one *turns to the camera and/or microphone*: “The CCCAH moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and listen once in a while, you could miss it." Now whether you are popping your Ferris cherry with Christopher or a Day Off veteran like Jeffrey, we have to remind you of something that has almost become a guaranteed given on every episode of the podcast … this is not a safe space for spoilers! We mainly do nothing but spoil, actually, come to think of it. We’re the SPOILER PODCAST!!! We hope this can align with and compliment your media consumption diet regardless. We are happy to be another set piece in your life, if you choose to stick with us today. And whether you’re at work or skiving, we hope you are enjoying lip syncing along with your favourite podcast theme song!  Watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off here on ITV: https://www.itv.com/watch/ferris-buellers-day-off/2a5088/2a5088a0001 Roger Ebert wrote a review of this film. He is becoming a shownotes regular! I’m so happy the nature of our pitches has led to this … I bet it won’t last! Hah: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/ferris-buellers-day-off-1986 We are back on our extra curriculars this week too. There is a lot of optional homework and video essays, just like Jeffrey likes and Christopher feels low key ambivalent about! Let’s start with Jack Lawrence’s video “How To Live Without Regrets”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EchbDd_ijX8 Next up is Schloetz’s video “Don’t Miss Out On Your Own Life”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeac9bnLTRU Then we have to get to the Cam of it all, the Cam man can, hey batter batter swing batter batter man … Cinemastix (who Christopher rates) made a video called “The moment you realize the main character is not actually the main character”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaMimdNNnAw We also have John Hughes’ one and only audio commentary for this film. I would pay good money to watch Christopher live-react to listening to/watching this hehe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtbNhDI4j6M We also have a video compilation of some extra features from DVD releases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao-cVG6ZsAo And finally we have a Josh Gad hosted video in which the cast was reunited during Covid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOaa3Znh75w Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.show Check out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.com Check out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpod Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhour Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahour Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher revealed the last straw for his partner … cracked me up!  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81939823 Hosted on Acast.

    S07E17 Guess me like your French girls

    (500) Days of Summer: reviewed! *Richard McGonagle Voiceover voice* The boys had been enjoying doing their podcast for a couple of years by the time it got to episode 17 of Season 7 … it was a close call who would win. And as they say, it’s not a competition … but then again … *zoom in to see a bead of sweat running down Christopher’s face* … everything is! IT’S MOVIE SEASON BABY! None of these are SPECIALS and yet … every episode is SPECIAL in its own way, wouldn’t you say? We hope you enjoy 2 old men doing the WAIT, THIS ACTOR WAS IN WHAT FILM game for most of today’s opening. We’ll save you the trouble of screaming … yes, we were talking about the actor Dominic Sessa. And no, we didn’t name him lol. And thankfully, we don’t like all the same bizarro shit … or else this wouldn’t be that fun a pod, now would it? I would like to declare today’s episode a not-very-safe-space for spoilers. If you would like to experience this movie free of our RAMBLING TAKES clogging up your brainwaves: it is worth an initial spoiler-free watch before rejoining the chat/giving this ep a listen.  Here in the furnace of CCCAH coded fun-and-matey-banter, we hone our opinions as per. It’s like an opinion workshop sometimes, this podcast. We get into it. All of it. We hope you enjoy our tangents and manage to follow the two streams of consciousness at work. And don’t forget, for those of you considering following your dreams … what if your dream was running a greeting-card company like Vance (played by Clark Gregg). Or producing a little podcast? Don’t tell anyone you’re dreaming too big but also … don’t let anyone tell you you’re dreaming too small! Find a dream that works for you. Might be nice to dream a dream you can make come true! Keep dreaming and keep scheming! 500 days of Tom was more than enough for me but I fear 1,309 of the CCCAH might be enough for you guys too! *looks straight at the camera*   Watch 500 Days of Summer here: https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/play/00d02322-3b21-4663-ae22-c2c4a2db3f9f Watch the trailer for Tony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1MVnzd2aVc Watch the trailer for The Debut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clyzHmBx43E Watch In Defense of Tom - Video Essay - Celebrating 13 Years of (500) Days of Summer by wolf visuals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHxYKCxfOHM Watch The Problem with (500) Days of Summer by Ariana Alexis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZV12hRG848 Watch 3 Interpretations of Summer by Jesse Tribble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blsTV2Wv0s8 For the sake of balance, read Roger Ebert’s super favourable review here.

    DIRTY DANCING: Reviewed!  I can’t believe it but after another week of edging the listenership with aniticipation we’re here again for another week in the Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour Universe (the CCCAHU) and we’re talking about how grateful you should all be for it! It’s like clockwork. Thursday mornings without a break EVER. “It’s Thursday and you know what that means” vibes for the indefinite future! You all won’t know how good you had it until Christopher and I are chatting shit about each other on our separate podcasts, The Rag Tag Rambling Gambling Groovy Booty Show with Jeffrey Bahlo and the Good Production Quality show with Christopher Anousis. But hey, until then, let’s stay present and appreciate where we are and acknowledge … that we are on a movie streak baby!  We are going from strength to strength in this summer of dance, drama and romance! We are reviewing Dirty Dancing today. A movie that is not from 1989. Or 1988. But … yep … you guessed it … Christopher’s 1987. Wow. Well, we’re eighties babies with nineties hearts I guess. So let’s keep the 2020s podcasting going. The reviewing. The side-bar swerving. The guessing. The scoring. The off-point accumulating. The pitching. The faff, the guff and the malarkey: the holy trinity of vibes that comes with yammering on and on with your bestie on a little-known podcast hiding in the vast unknown expanse of the internet for years on end. We love it. We hope you do too.  Watch Dirty Dancing here on ITV: https://www.itv.com/watch/dirty-dancing/10a3659 Read the Dirty Dancing Wikipedia page like Jeffrey did as if it’s a damn BOOK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Dancing Listen to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack here. Only if (unlike Christopher) you’ve … had … the time of your life … and you owe it all to the CCCAH … ok not ALL, but SOME … and you’ve NEVER felt this way before … ok maybe not NEVER but definitely not ALL THE TIME or anything: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/dirty-dancing-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/254938499 We love Roger Ebert round these parts so let’s enjoy, for balance, Ebert being quite down on Dirty Dancing, to the tune of one star: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dirty-dancing-1987 A more positive review from the time from Samuel G. Freedman of the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/16/movies/film-dirty-dancing-rocks-to-an-innocent-beat.html Paul McCartney … how could you do this to us: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/jul/05/paul-mccartney-i-want-to-hold-your-hand-taylor-swift-wedding Madison Square Garden … how could you: https://pitchfork.com/story/madison-square-garden-disabled-its-surveillance-system-for-taylor-swifts-wedding/ A interview with the unsung goat behind Dirty Dancing (and many other dances) Kenny Ortega: https://www.insidedance.com/news-features/kenny-ortega-living-a-legacy/ Netflix made a docu-series called The Movies That Made Us and the very first episode covered the making of Dirty Dancing: https://www.netflix.com/watch/80994955 And for those who are only getting more *smitten* with, *curious* about and *excited* by the film … here is more behind the scenes footage from the making of the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzZyTG5UB0w Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.show Check out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.com Check out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpod Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhour Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahour Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When we finally broke the news of Taylor Swift’s wedding! First podcast to do so, I think? No? Ok well still, we stand by the fact that no one has truly covered THE FALL OF T-SWIFT like we here at the CCCAH have. Late era Swift has been a depressing rollercoaster, lowest of keys.  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/browse/entity-00d02322-3b21-4663-ae22-c2c4a2db3f9f Hosted on Acast.

    LEGALLY BLONDE: Reviewed!  Come one, come all! It’s time for the Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour and our Legally Blonde era. We are finally about to be on fleek and slay and do all the things. And now, why do we have to go all the way back to our youths and 2001 to do these very 2020s things? Well, because …Legally Blonde is a core text. And we’re all about the core texts here on the CCCAH. It’s our all pink episode where we say goodbye to a long first half of the summer filled with sport and say hello to a long second half of the summer filled with fashion. We have a lot to learn there. Or at least one of us does. Keep your eyes peeled on the thumbnails for evidence of any growth in that area hehehe.  We are an educational programme, really. We are here to educate you and educate ourselves. We are here to get excited by the premise for a 30 second game and then get so carried away that we forget to mention how the scores work (I feel like that tidbit of information can be quite crucial for a new listener, to be quite honest with you). We are here for sidebars that last longer than the reviews, cold open that are creeping towards a sixth of the length of a full episode and SHAPELY score-guesses and score-actuals!   At the end of the day, it’s Thursday and you know what that means. It’s a perfect day. Nothing standing in my way. On this perfect day, where nothing can go wrong. It's the perfect day. Tomorrow's gonna come too soon. I could stay forever as I am.

It’s been a long world cup. It’s been a long … football! It’s not coming home. It’s never coming home. Where is my home? What is happening? What is a home? Football is homeless and I am heartbroken.
