SEVENTH SEAL and TASKMASTER SEASON 19 EPISODE 1: Reviewed! 

It’s time to review things! We love reviewing things. We love talking about things. Bullying each other into being fans of things we’re fans of (success rate there is … interesting). The usual CCCAH malarkey. And hey, did we break the record??? Did we once again break the new OLDEST THING and NEWEST THING and BIGGEST DIFFERENTIAL (there might be a catchier title with which to refer to that) record??? Hopefully the good people at JVD Games will let us know! Maybe we’ll try and catch a corporate big-wig style dinner with them as soon as another pod recording is in the bag. See you at the meet and greets! 

SCORES SO FAR THIS SEASON ARE: 

Jeffrey: 8

Christopher: 6

You can watch The Seventh Seal on BFI Player … to paraphrase Christopher Anousis (host of the CCCAH) “free trial woo” or whatever it is he said: https://player.bfi.org.uk/subscription/film/watch-the-seventh-seal-1957-online

Melvyn Bragg hosted his 1000th episode of the famous radio show/podcast In Our Time (in the CCCAH’s dreams!) and he and his esteemed guests discussed The Seventh Seal because of course they did: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qmkx

You can watch this video essay by Peter Cowie on The Seventh Seal here on this treasure trove known as YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6vNqAIq9t4

Even in the ‘50s, artists knew the real gold is in the behind-the-scenes “content”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsOcnUbjuEg

Episode 1 of Season 19 of Taskmaster can be watched here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/taskmaster/on-demand/75957-001

Want to follow along watching Taskmaster with someone reviewing every episode? Of course you do! Like lol you’re listening to this kind of show you know! So, you can read Jack Bernhardt on Medium, for one: https://jackbern23.medium.com/taskmaster-series-19-episode-1-the-stats-round-up-6ca0c68ecd9f

Or you could read Myles McNutt on Substack! One quote from his review of this episode that lines up with our thoughts would be “There’s not a bad season of Taskmaster, but just how good it is hinges on the mix of contestants—the best seasons have somebody who’s hopelessly terrible at all the tasks”: https://substack.com/home/post/p-162775890

Personally I find Taskmaster’s attempt to copy the cccappraisalhour.show website in both style and format in super poor taste. Plagiarism is not a good look GREG (and/or little Alex Horne): https://taskmaster.info/season.php?id=76

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: In our pre-production meeting Christopher was banging on about having crazy dreams he was going to tell me about but then he never told me about them. Did I dream this?!
