OKJA and MAHASHMASHANA BY FATHER JOHN MISTY: Reviewed!


It’s a banger this morning ladies and gentleman. It’s the platonic ideal of the Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour. A movie and an album. These are the best things in life. Like wine tasting to drunks. Or football to hooligans. Movies and music to the cultural content consumption appraisal hour hosts is just fucking the best. So let us enjoy what we enjoy and let us enjoy what we enjoy how we enjoy it best: by reviewing it, scoring it and then guessing the other’s scores for the other thing and then numerically assessing who’s guesses were closer to the other one’s scores in order to win this episode. Speaking of.


SCORES SO FAR THIS SEASON ARE: 


Jeffrey: 8

Christopher: 8


CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! IT’S NECK AND NECK.


Maybe. We’re not sure. The cccappraisalhour.show website is getting dusty. Sorry guys. Our website maintenance ran away because they discovered they hadn’t been getting paid for like over a year or something. Give us time to sort it, we’ll be right on that *insert technical difficulties graphic here*
