MICHAEL: Reviewed! It’s a Michael special! That’s right. The movie Michael. The Michael Jackson biopic. Christopher wanted to do a A Complete Unknown but for him this time. Well you got it buddy. Maybe we didn’t get a whole movie day in town for it but still. We both watched the film (and scored it? Why lol) and then talked about it for an hour. Which is literally all we want. I can’t believe it. He can’t believe it. You can’t believe it. What are we doing here? I kind of can’t remember a time when I didn’t associate Michael Jackson with Christopher Anousis and vice versa. I’m sure I was aware of MJ before I met CA. But then I met CA … and just a few short years later we started the CCCAH, you know the story by now. Who should play us in the biopic? I think I’ll be played by BJ Novak and Christopher will be played by Jim from The Office. What’s his name? You know, Emily Blunt’s husband. Jack Ryan. Hey, wait, these dudes are too American. Ok I’ll be played by Riz Ahmed and Christopher will be played by Stavros Halkias lol close enough, whatever. This is why you just get your brother’s kid to play you. It’s easier. I’ll never forget when Michael Jackson died. Christopher was at Glastonbury. I was not. I literally called him when I saw the news. And I rarely will call. But this time called for a call. We just chatted for a few minutes but I had to check in. I’ll never forget it. He has probably forgotten it for years and just now reading it in the show notes he’s like “wait, did that for real happen?” My friend. I can assure you it did. And then you saw The Boss and Neil Young without me ugh whatever. Watch Michael if you like. At a cinema. Like myvue.com Christopher’s favourite bit of media ever, it sounds like, is called “The Jacksons An American Dream” and lives in its entirety here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFoBmNdzPe4 Michael Jackson on Oprah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlqIh4STt8 Spike Lee being Spike Lee: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/spike-lee-shuts-down-critics-171500130.html Christopher is not a fan of Chapo Trap House because he doesn’t like the comparison of Trump and Michael Jackson but hey … just listen to the whole clip lol points were made by the greatest political podcast of our time, happy ten years CTH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKVOCBckx48 This is Mark Kermode’s review of the hagiography that is Michael: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTeKjkZ2IZ4 This is the Jacobin review of Michael, which typifies the general critical reception: https://jacobin.com/2026/05/michael-jackson-biopic-film-review Tom Breihan, on the other hand, didn’t hate Michael! So I guess we have that also: https://stereogum.com/2496783/i-didnt-hate-michael/reviews/movie-review Welcome to … *the actual last special* … for now? THE JOURNEY CONTINUES!

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.
