KNEECAP and WALLACE AND GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL: Reviewed!

Welcome to Season 6 of the Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour! It’s been five seasons in the making. All this lead up to #ReviewOneThing and we’re kicking it all off with … a CLASSIC #ReviewTwoThings Thing! Kneecap and Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Two of the best new (new-ish) movies the pod has covered in a while. That’s right, spoiler: IT’S A HIGH SCORING EPISODE FOLKS! 

We also spoil both movies. And that’s a SPOILER lol. So strap in for a 30-second-game-less (had to briefly review Green Man 2025, so there is all the summer fest coverage you could shake a stick at right there) cold open and a healthy dose of how-political-are-we-going-to-get-probably-not-very discourse. Also more merch ideas. Your boys in american football helmets, anyone? 

SCORES SO FAR THIS SEASON: 0-0! 

FUCKIN NAILED IT! 

Hahahaha. Ok that was fun. What else? 

The website *almost* got a shout out. I recall starting to say it but not getting my words out. Here is the website link in full: cccappraisalhour.show

A future, mystery birthday gift also got a shout out. Bex gets a shout out. Jonny gets a shout out. Kitty recommended Wallace and Gromit months ago and got a well deserved shout out. Friendship gets a shout out. What more could you possibly need? You did it already, you’re here already, jeez.

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: Christopher replying to my essay in the google doc. It was sweet. Because, as Wallace said, and I will quote him one final time today lol … “I can live without inventing … but I can’t live without … me best pal!” I think in our case podcasting is “inventing”. Love that for us.
