GUY MONTGOMERY’S GUY MONT SPELLING BEE SEASON 2 EPISODE 6: Reviewed!  Today we are really CCCAHing it up! We’re reviewing another fun game show. And that is fun because, when you really think about it … we’re a fun game show also! I mean, the fun part is arguable, but in theory, that’s what we do here on the programme. So it’s like mirror images. Maybe the fourth season of the Spelling Bee will feature a round spelling all the things we’ve reviewed on the Triple C Appraisal Hour. That remains to be seen. But Guy Montgomery seems like such a lovely bloke so I’m going to go ahead and say it’s probably a dead cert to happen.  Consider this a run out of our future Patreon today as on this episode we will basically be doing a full on GIFT episode for two of our most loyal listeners, Jonny and Nayyar. Gosh what beautiful souls our most loyal listeners are. All BOTH of them! <3 <3 <3  They brought this show up to me. I asked them for a specific episode. They gave me two. I had flashbacks to the Star Trek double-episode-pitch debacle and started pulling my hair out. I locked in and went with the first episode they suggested. And here we are reviewing it. Now to work through the main issue with guest pitches and/or listener pitches … WHAT IF WE HATE IT AND ALIENATE OUR GUESTS AND LISTENERS!? Well there’s only one way to find out … oh and I guess we could just lie to spare feelings? Hmm.  NAH! That’s not the CCCAH! Let’s get into EXACTLY HOW WE FEEL ABOUT THIS SHIT EVEN IF IT’S KIND OF WEIRD. Now that my friends, that right there is the CCCAH. Please. Be inspired to own how you feel about shit even if it’s kind of weird also. See you in World Cup land gang!  Watch the episode (Season 2 Episode 6) of Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee we reviewed on today’s show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE9rpWDLgZQ Watch the first season of the show on iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m002qrhw/guy-montgomerys-guy-montspelling-bee-australia Watch Paul McCartney talk to Amelia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aq8OB-zwo&t=4s Watch Paul McCartney talk to Zane Lowe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-SY9ZKM5mw Watch Paul McCartney talk to Radio 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5RN2m1e4y4 Listen to Paul McCartney’s new album here: https://open.spotify.com/album/34Sh6TOqfsrPSeXPBRGRAM?si=mboq7j5pRTi5R5xXf1sCqw Watch the first episode of Third Man Release Lab (shout out Jack White!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2lnosRCL80 Watch the second episode of Third Man Release Lab (during which we find out Jack White will release his seventh solo album next month!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYiyRiePwag&t=13s 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 I fucked up the spelling of pronunciation (and the pronunciation, potentially?!

S07E09 Can you imagine more of a gut punch as a ramen dad?

THE RAMEN GIRL: Reviewed!  Roll up, roll up. To the Ramen girl initiated and the about-to-be-Ramen-girl-initiated! It’s your favourite podcast about someone who wins the review game and your favourite sport about two people who share cultural interests.  All the “it’s Thursday you know what that means” vibes you can shake a stick at on today’s episode, on this, the 4th of the 6th month of the year. And if you too are wondering how we already in the 6th month of the year then all I can say is … you need to take a good look over your balcony at the glowing ramen house over yonder and see if it elicits any feelings in you. Either you’re hungry or you’re inspired to finally find your passion in this life!  I can’t believe it took me 37 years and a few months to find out about this film existing at all. And a few more days than that to finally join the most exclusive of clubs: the club of people who have watched The Ramen Girl. Honestly, I’m going to find it hard to bounce back and talk about other things after this week. But I will do my best. For now. I’m so excited for you to join us, whether it’s in a preview-the-film-for-me capacity, review-the-film-for-me capacity or in a (my personal favourite) cheeky little bit of Gogglebox style watch-it-for-me capacity.   You can watch the film (it's called The Ramen Girl) with the correct subtitles here (but you still need to select captions on!) Honestly, I wish you all the best of luck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RLoaO4R5cI You can watch this film (The Ramen Girl) without subtitles (I don’t know why you would but hey, maybe you just want to see what we watched the first ten minutes of before we got confused): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiHsGZCzUHQ An article lambasting The Ramen Girl in the context of it being a movie about food: https://www.pastemagazine.com/food/when-food-movies-suck-the-ramen-girl A more recent article (only six years old!) catching you up on the now (arguable) cult status and pros and cons of The Ramen Girl: https://oishii-desu.com/2020/09/09/ramen-girl-movie-review/ 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 finally realised, after a whole episode of gaslighting me for watching the wrong cut … that yes, the run time is the same whether on Amazon Prime or YouTube! An hour and thirty eight minutes. There is no 2 hour Director’s Cut version of this film. At least not one available on God’s world wide web.  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE9rpWDLgZQ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

S07E08 We'll Put A Pin In Jimmy

SERIES FINALE OF THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT: Reviewed! Come one, come all, rally round ye late night talk show fans! It’s time we close out yet another chapter of yet another long beloved institution. No no, not the long rumoured final episode of the CCCAH (which you better believe will arrive all of a sudden and without any fanfare in the run up, unlike Mr. Colbert and the final episode of his Late Show) but something else entirely. A Late Night institution gone forever at the behest of a tyrant-like current president of the U.S.A. because the timeline of 2026 is having a totally normal one. We are both late night fans to some degree, sure. And we have covered an episode or two on this very podcast too. We once reviewed a compilation of Norm appearances on Conan! We reviewed Letterman's appearance on Colbert before. And even an episode of Strike Force Five! But today it’s Thursday and you know what that means! A regular ep of our show. And the final ep of The Late Show. Feelings might be all over the shop. But let’s see if we’ll be like Norm during his final Letterman appearance (unexpectedly starts crying) or Norm during his many Conan appearances (saying “crack whore” a whole lot). Only one way to find out. Tap in. And full ep it. It’s time to save the world from AI with your favourite long-winded superheroes, the CCCAH gang, and … just full ep it. And if you need any extra help. Website it too: cccappraisalhour.show!  You can watch the final episode of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show via all the assembled clips on his YouTube channel. Or try and look for the VHS copy that I’m sure someone on the dark web has already recorded for you: https://www.youtube.com/@ColbertLateShow Here is the Wikipedia for the final episode of The Late Show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_finale_of_The_Late_Show_with_Stephen_Colbert This was Colbert hosting Only In Monroe before beginning his run on The Late Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVPlMM_aSn4 And then this was Colbert hosting Only In Monroe for the second time, 24 hours after bringing his run hosting Late Night to an end, eleven years after hosting it for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJTXB5uT_C4 This is Stephen answering the famous questions of his Questionert via many different celebrity guest hosts, one per question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRvWlAGx7EM This was Jon Stewart’s last appearance on The Late Show! A proper highlight, treat and gem during a final week chock full of highlights, treats and gems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXpTa8C4zHs This was the Strike Force Five’s first (and last!) appearance on The Late Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU3PSAAgbrU Which led to a brand new episode of Strike Force Five: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOzkffwHU-Q This was Letterman’s last appearance from the other week (HOT TAKE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FINAL EPISODE): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzd1XffhWac Ok but this was the final episode of David Letterman’s Late Show. I’m crying. I’m crying big fat Late Show tears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fakUXT0dvE In order to commemorate the very underwhelming revelation that Christopher has deleted X, here is our old favourite segment the TWEET OF THE WEEK (TWITTER LIVES!): https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/2059757212244103201 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 I lost connection and had to vamp for a minute and all i had was “Trump … late night … the thing about Trump is … late night” lol … but hey, if the editing of this episode is on point (and I’m told a painstaking job was done this week) … you’ll never hear tell of this. *shhing emoji*  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiHsGZCzUHQ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

S07E07 Don’t do the looking at the watch gimmick

SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 of DON’T TRUST THE B—— IN APARTMENT 23: Reviewed! Welcome to the show buddies, chums and fellow well-wishers! It’s the show we like to call the triple C, with a lil bit of the A to the H! Today we’re not trusting the B in Apartment 23. Don’t trust the C (content) in the CC (cultural consumption), to be honest with you. Don’t trust the appraisal hour bro in the cccappraisalhour.show! But do check out the website, it’s the best website. Special drop down menu for special episodes coming soon. And there very much is a search function despite the more technologically inept of our hosts taking a minute to get his head around it.  I love doing this podcast, honestly, I do. As much as I might make jokes to the contrary, those are just little haha funnies. Skits and bits. But the main thing I love about this show? CLIPPING OUT CLIPS! I love it. I live for it. I have just started doing it. From spending seven seasons (three of which hurt Christopher’s feelings, like a tiny bit) refusing to listen back to the product, I now consume it avidly. In order to harvest it for clips for the socials. Clickbait, sure. Ragebait, sure. Whatever I can find. On today’s episode. Talk about SNL and The Simpsons (hello some CCCAH classic references!) might make it … gristle for the clip mill! You heard me. Check out our instagram and see you there for all the clips you can shake a stick at (we’ll be aiming for 2 a week): https://www.instagram.com/cccahour So anyway, here is Season 2 Episode 1 of the Bitch show: https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/play/87504794-b262-4945-9b1e-c22e80b30ffe Here is an interview with Nahnatchka Khan about things other than the Bitch show, from the good people at Made By Pop Culture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5lzlkNpYtg Back in the day when he was cool and worked with Jimmy Kimmel and did interviews with Norm Macdonald, Adam Carolla also did interviews with show creators, such as this one featuring the producers of the Bitch show: https://open.spotify.com/episode/510czZzKzVzRcPKNBGVlef?si=c12b9d01a304471e Tweet of the week: https://x.com/ratlimit/status/2056845791155675434 The Jude Law Uber Eats ad that Chrostopher was not especially impressed with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agi37U3G_SM The latest Joke Swap from SNL that Christopher was not especially impressed with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFFz6ZI_J-8 Check out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpod Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhour Special FAVE MOMENT FROM MARATHON note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When I said “I’m a very Busy guy, I don’t have time to look it up” I capitalised the “Busy” in my mind but I’m not sure Christopher heard it … Christopher, this was a reference to Busy Phillips. Yep. I really did nail it like that. Shout out Busy Phillips. Star of seasons 5 and 6 of Dawson’s Creek. How dare I say I was waiting for a Dawson’s Creek star to show up before the end of Season 2 when Busy Phillips literally turned up in this episode!  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.youtube.com/@ColbertLateShow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_dVEtLPdDE for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be sorry?

S07E06 I’m Sabastian Sawe Up In This Bitch

RUNNER’S WORLD MAY ISSUE: Reviewed!  What we talk about when we talk about podcasting. Well. We did it gang! We’re here. At the finish line. Dead. We ran the London Marathon! Success, just about! It was all such a big deal I might make an entire Instagram post about it, who knows?! Or maybe a website. Ah why bother, could never better this one: cccappraisalhour.show!  As a podcast we have run a total of 3 London Marathons. And about 10 marathons total, if our math is mathing correctly. If any of our biographers out there would like to quibble with the maths we did during this ep (which we have surely done before) we would appreciate corrections. You can reach us at cccappraisalhour@gmail.com! I would be beyond flabbergasted if anyone has any new information to add to my list but hey, you never know. Life is long and we are old now! On a weekly basis, you hear us struggle to remember what we have said on the pod (whether it be last week or a few years ago) so surely there might be a few more races in our bygone eras than we recall. Locked in with our eras!   Chris has the photoshoot takes and I have the quotes. But now it's time for you to read the main feature of this month's Runner's World: https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a70591239/harry-styles-marathon-haruki-murakami/ Read the Sabastian Sawe article your boys were raving about. The headline might be different in the print versus the online version but we can assure you that after some vetting, the final paragraph is in fact exactly the same in both cases: https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/news/a71016450/sebastian-sawe-london-marathon/ Read Haruki Murakami’s first article in Runner’s World. 20 plus years ago you know. This passage of time stuff is not a psy op guys, it’s real: https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a20845602/im-a-runner-haruki-murakami/ This video is entitled “Chasing Sub 2 The Journey of Sabastian Sawe’s Historic 1:59:30 Marathon” and after watching it I can confirm I am not Sabastian Sawe up in this bitch haha but maybe in our own small ways in other areas of our lives … we can all persevere and pursue our goals … and, in a way … be Sabastian Saw up in this bitch. You know? You know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRr0lmYvp5g Let me take this time out to address Hearst Magazines. Let. Me. Cancel. My. Fucking. Account. You have one week. You made a special offer for people intrigued by the Harry Styles issue. It worked on me. But now I want out. And you’re making it far too difficult. If you refuse to free me, I will start making it a weekly segment on my podcast. You have been warned: account.hearstmagazines.co.uk   Harry Styles’ new album is nice. I think the Murakami interview is as good a bit of press for it as his Zane Lowe interview to be fair: https://open.spotify.com/album/69BqE1V8Bzb9GCyeP1fFeR Christopher you can catch up with your precious stories here mate, all the marathon material you can take: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00b0998/london-marathon 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 (WE ARE POPPING OFF! REELS! POSTS! WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? HELP ME!? STAY TUNED!)  Special FAVE MOMENT FROM MARATHON note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When I heard this tall guy with a bunch of girls screaming “JEFF” while I was in horrendous pain and then I heard the dude be like “I love that boy” and I was like aww I love my fans lol. Also thanks for looking out for my family … even though I gave you their numbers and I gave them your number you all keep claiming it was fate that brought you all together. Weird.  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/play/87504794-b262-4945-9b1e-c22e80b30ffe ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
