S00E04 RETROSPECTIVE CLUB: Season 1 State of the Pod

We’ve got ourselves a freaking WEBSITE y’all! CCCAH, welcome to whatever century this is: cccappraisalhour.show. It is the website of our dreams. And now yours too. Find everything you need (including spreadsheets!) to understand this episode (and the show in general!) on the website. 

So today is the big one. The one that (we decided a few weeks ago) this has all been building towards all year long. The showdown. Forget your WWE and UFC, this is the showdown of the summer. It’s competition time. Christopher vs Jeffrey. Not just to crown a winner for this episode, but this whole season! By way of guessing each other’s favourite and least favourites from each of the three categories we’ve decided upon (films, albums and miscellaneous things) we hope to accrue more points. We will also be guessing each other’s answers to these questions three:

1) If your podcast partner could pick one score to change, what would it be? 

2) What was your podcast partner’s favourite thing they consumed all season, whether they recommended it or it was recommended to them? 

3) What is one thing your podcast partner is definitely going to get into that you recommended? 

We are also so happy to welcome into the audio fold our friend (and now yours) Alistair Hillier. He runs a Reading based beer blog and you can find their fantastic content on instagram.com/brew.ding. Check it out. Today, not only will he get to put forward the first guest host pitch (stay tuned for Season 2 when, we hope, he will feature on the subsequent review show) - he will be judging two debates the boys have decided to bring to a head. No more wishy washy, subjective, “participation trophy” shit. We need debates! Games and competition. Winners and losers. Hosts … prepare your takes of varying temperatures: 

Have the last 20 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe helped or hurt cinema?

Should Season 2 of the podcast follow the #ReviewOneThing or #ReviewTwoThings format? 

We cannot wait for your takes on our takes. Tweet us at twitter.com/cccappraisalpod or e-mail us at [email protected]. We anticipate lots of battle lines drawn after this episode and we thank you in advance for the social media firestorm of raging vitriol that will come as a result of the way the scores work out! 

In all seriousness, thank you for listening during season 1 as we worked to, as episode 1 told you in its title, “find our feet”. Stay tuned for us to really find our stride in season 2. More culture will be consumed and, more importantly, more culture will be appreciated, critiqued, processed, discussed and digested. We look forward to having anyone who listens and is passionate about any kind of art to eventually get involved to the point of even featuring on the show! That’s right. You there, you reading this. Come pitch something and feature as a guest on an episode. Your podcast debut has been in the works for far too long. It’s time to make it happen. See you in season 2.
