The Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour

STRANGER THINGS FINALE: Reviewed! It’s a Stranger Things finale special! We simply had to do it. Because we share a lot of things in common with Stranger Things. Ultimately, across years and years of episodes … our show is also a show about growing up. A real coming-of-age story, if you will. Just don’t ask for a numerical value of said age. And also … despite all manner of tangents and unexplored B-stories, the true meaning of both Stranger Things and the Cultural Content Consumption Hour is obviously: friendship. Awwww. So there. Eat that, haters. Do we have any fun for you in the show notes today or what? Firstly, we have joined the internet discourse just saying all the things about the Duffer brothers. ALL THE THINGS. Well not all the things. The internet is on a mad one, as ever. We’re barely saying some of the things. Scratching the surface of some of the things. But good, we deserve our say also. On this day of all days, a week after the finale dropped … and, the day after secret episode was supposed to drop: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrk83qtHahaha remember when there was supposed to be a secret album after The King of Limbs? Lol. And also, we got to get into our feels! Love a series finale! Love some zeitgeist! And after literal *years* of hosting a cultural review show together, we love suddenly talking about the last episode of a show that we have both watched the entirety of that we have somehow never talked about before!Welcome to … *the last special* … for now? TO BE CONTINUED!Variety’s chat with the Duffer brothers sheds some light: https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stranger-things-finale-is-eleven-alive-vecna-killed-rock-spinoff-1236621528/Finn Wolfhard directed a George Harrison video.

He called him “wet” lol. If Christopher had been a character in fictional Hawkins and given Jonathan that kind of guff on the show, he basically would have been the high school bully! Winona Ryder would have kicked his ass!! We can dream, I guess.  SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK’S #REVIEW1THING CONTENT:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvXhCayQXkc&t=2102s

Welcome to the third annual CCCAH AWARDS for THE 2025 THAT WASN’T! Only one way to welcome in 2026 right!? WE ARE ON THE MOST SPECIAL RUN OF SPECIALS OF OUR LIFETIMES GANG! You did it and you’re here for it. We’re here for it. Lock in. 2026 about to get welcomed the fuck in. We have been on the craziest run of specials and we have been having a hell of a time. But this is the crown jewel. This is the grandest stage of ‘em all of podcast specials. It’s The Year That Wasn’t Awards … again! The 3rd annual YTWAs! Also known as the FOMOs! That’s right. We’re fomosexuals. And this is our pride parade! Mainly we’ll all remember this episode as the episode where Christopher took some convincing (pre-pod) and roasting (during the pod) that this is in fact our third awards show rather than our second. Big lols folks. Big ones. Do you reading this recall our first two? Of course you do, you’re a seasoned and longtime shownotes reader … *big eyes emoji*. Once again there will be 4 awards, each in 3 different overarching categories: movies, music and gigs/events. Do you have any winners of your own personal YTAs you’d like to share? Have a gander at our socials below and I’m almost sure you’ll get a shout out in a future ep. Happy new year, both to those of you who are new to this, and to those of you who are true to this! Six seasons and a Patreon gang. See you soon. THE YTW in MOVIESMovie you wish had been madeMovie you wish you had seenMovie you wish we had seen together (‘we’ being your pod co-host, “partner” or bestie … not the Pluribus kind of ‘we’ haha) Movie/celebrity story you wish had happenedTHE YTW in MUSICMusical artist you wish had released an albumMusical artists you wish had collaborated on an albumMusical artist you wish had written a bookMusical artist you wish made a triumphant comebackAnd THE YTW in GIGS/EVENTSGig you wish had happened this yearGig you wish you had attendedGig you wish we had attended together (again, the nice we!)Story in entertainment you wish had happenedAnd finally, one CP (Cultural Prediction) and one CR (Cultural Resolution). If you were expecting to find the tweet of the week here I can only apologise. That was the tweet of the week last year when we recorded. But now it’s the new year when you’re hearing this. So it got lost in the space time continuum or something. Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.showCheck out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.comCheck out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpodCheck out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhourCheck out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahourSpecial FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher checked out beingcharliekaufman.com and low key remembered that this exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMMEkZdCPT4

What are the Top 5 Christmas-related episodes of television all time!? It’s time to find out, on: IT’S THE THIRD ANNUAL CCCAHCSS (Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour Christmas Special Spectacular)!!! Insert *obvious humour laughter* here!  That’s right. We did it again. You thought we had said our piece. Music and movies. The two … things! All the bases covered. Goodnight and God bless. Good bye and good luck. But no! Of course not! Of course “no”! Because the trifecta requires trifecta-completion. Wouldn’t exactly be a trifecta without a third thing, now would it!? I hear you saying “you never claimed this would be a trifecta” from the outset but hey, hey there, hey now … shush our beautiful and darling listener. We have some listing to do. It is time to make our famous top 5 list. We are bringing the power of both of these minds together to assemble a co-signed top 5 Christmas-themed tv show episodes ever. Will next year be tv adverts or will next year be the beginning of a every-three-years-we-will-circle-back and revisit movies, songs and now tv-show-episodes in that order? Only time will tell. Listen, the main thing is, Santa did you a solid. No one has to know there were serious discussions about having a Christmas break for the first time this year. In that same way that all the kiddos out there don’t need to know the reality that Santa and his elves nearly call it off every single year! How could they not!? It is the biggest faff ever, all this Christmas stuff. But no, we don’t need to know all that. We’ll just enjoy our Christmas presents. And we hope you enjoy our list today. And we look forward to you lambasting us for missing out on this or that! The last two years we used TimeOut to centre our picks around and to give us some context. But this year, we got in bed with IMDB. And we’re ok with it. The list is wild and the public who vote in them are even wilder but hey. We stan OGs: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls053785135/We also referred to Netflix telling us things: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/christmas-tv-episodes-on-netflixReddit tried to get involved and all: https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/1pbcwk5/which_shows_have_the_best_christmas/Wait WHO ARE TV LINE: https://www.tvline.com/2050353/best-christmas-sitcom-episodes/But ok, let’s get on with it … if you’re ok with our top 5 being spoiled … check out our picks here via a veritable five-day advent calendar of random links!At number 1: https://www.avclub.com/the-simpsons-marge-be-not-proud-1798180074At number 2: https://www.livesinabox.com/friends/season2/209towpd.htmAt number 3: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/community-season-2-episode-11-review-abeds-uncontrollable-christmas/At number 4: https://archive.org/details/a-charlie-brown-christmas_202312At number 5: https://nerdist.com/article/a-look-back-at-the-simpsons-roasting-on-an-open-fire/The best Simpsons Christmas episodes are ranked here (thanks Collider): https://collider.com/the-simpsons-best-christmas-episodes-ranked/Community’s Christmas episodes are ranked here (you again, eh Collider!?

PLURIBUS SEASON 1 EPISODE 1: Reviewed!Well, we still haven’t sold our souls to hit monkeys! And our Patreon era beckons. But for now … it’s Christmas time! Can you believe it’s back already!? I for one certainly cannot. And yet here we are. And on your podcast advent-calendar, there are barely any left episodes left until your favourite time of the year: a Christmas special and a Fomo awards. Yay! It’s beginning to look a lot like podcast Christmas! Enjoy all these episodes that are free and not paywalled while it’s still Season 6 and #REVIEW1THING and you can! Today we get into all of it. It’s another banner day for results and fans of WHO ACTUALLY WON THE EPISODE so stay tuned until the very end, even if you find all the pre-finding-out-the-result chat absolute nonsense and irrelevant. Vince Gilligan has returned to television. Much like Mozart once returned to music and Shakespeare once returned to the theatre. If the internet (and Christopher!) are to be believed! He is back with a show about … well … something. I’m sure our in-episode synopsising while suffice! Completely unassisted by AI. That’s right folks. This show was made by humans. Watch the Pluribus pilot here: https://tv.apple.com/gb/show/pluribus/umc.cmc.37axgovs2yozlyh3c2cmwzlzaTweet of the week (Bob is begging for a live special in 2026 and I am here to oblige tbh): https://x.com/bobdylan/status/1989034016033628651Oh no! Pluribus does in fact have its own podcast!! WELP!!! I guess I will not actually be enjoying the rest of this show hahahahahahaha: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pluribus-the-official-podcast/id1846198705The good people of Reddit who are interested in screenwriting were talking about the pilot here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/1ous7ze/what_makes_the_pluribus_pilot_so_special/This is the character Carol from Pluribus doing her own (kayfabe!)

MOJO MAGAZINE ISSUE 384 NOVEMBER 2025: Reviewed! Long live years of discovering new music and new things, in every which way! Welcome to a podcast reviewing a magazine full of reviews! We will finally reach peak meta when Mojo reviews us reviewing them. There will be a day, mark my words. Until then, I suppose we’ll just carry on reviewing things that review things without being reviewed by those things in return necessarily. Sigh. Maybe if we exclusively review things from decades gone by we will eventually get noticed by them. Or rather, twenty years after the podcast ends, but leaves in its wake a slew of pale imitations that take over the podcasting landscape. But really, we are really happy magazines are still around. Please continue to stay around. Even if your super in-depth nature made it tricky for our rinky dink podcast to cover every inch of the coverage you provided us (especially since one of us had a hard out on the record today … hi!) we are still very much grateful for your existence. As we are wont to do, let’s talk about you. Mojo lives here on what the kids call a “website”: https://www.mojo4music.com/You can consider subscribing to Mojo here. Join us in becoming readers of things over scrollers of things, preferably with a nice coffee and in your book nook: https://www.mojo4music.com/subscription/This is the magazine we’re reviewing this week. Order a copy. Read the second half and join us on a future Patreon special (along with a special where I watch the correct episode of Drag Race! We will call them the REVENGE OF THE CONTENT SPECIALS) where we cover all the things we didn’t get round to today, from Terry Reid and Bob Dylan/the free CD to The Who and all the reviews: https://www.mojo4music.com/magazine/latest-issues/mojo-384-november-2025-bob-dylan/Think Floyd still exist! Woo hoo: https://www.thinkfloyd.net/gigsWe discussed Tim Burgess and his work with The Charlatans and having referenced enjoying a Charlatans performance about two decades ago, I’ve decided, I am done with dismissing them. He seems awesome and the MOJO interview was great. I’m gonna try them out and start with this super early single that Tim talks about making it to No. 12 in the charts the same week Oasis with Some Might Say and Blur with Country House battled for No. 1 and brought their battle for Britpop supremacy to a climax. I will be embarking on this journey (as with most journeys, to be fair) off-pod, so don’t worry Christopher … maybe worry, we’ll see … (p.s. PLEASE PITCH THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blqPQP7RPXwWe almost talked about Terry Reid!

Radiohead live: previewed and reviewed!IT'S THE HOUR AND A HALF SPECIAL BABY! The one we've all been waiting for. Well. We did it and we were there. We previewed it for you. We reviewed it for you. Radiohead at the 02 in 2025. This is really happening, happening. We talk you through all the things, all of them. The history, the back stories and all assorted lore drops galore. Radiohead are playing their first live shows in 7 years this year. And as they are our favourite band, we had to be there. And as we are your favourite podcast, we had to talk about it for you. Let’s link you up to some stuff. Check out Reddit for all Radiohead related news because that is how fan communities work in the modern age whether you like it or find it a bit annoying to navigate: https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/The one Radiohead interview the boys did for this tour: https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/radiohead-tour-2025-interview-israel-fn0bmdzl8Steven Hyden (an awesome rock and roll journalist I like the work of and who has written a whole book about Radiohead) wrote this article. The “article I needed” as Christopher put it: https://stevenhyden.substack.com/p/following-radioheads-weird-era-tourSteven Hyden also talked about it all on his podcast: https://uproxx.com/indie/indiecast-radiohead-tour/The Oasis article that was referenced: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/oasis-reunion-tour-essay-positive-masculinity-1235460198/This is Colin Greenwood talking to Adam Buxton on the Adam Buxton podcast. Adam is on 256 episodes you know. Damn, fair play. Colin was ostensibly promoting his photography book “How To Disappear” (you know the book he signed for me when I met him at Rough Trade East and we talked about the 93 Feet East Radiohead gig I attended back in 2008; surely the CCCAH extended universe recalls me droning on and on about this … on or off-pod) but ended up talking a lot about Radiohead and low-key soft launching the 2025 tour news. The podcast wasn’t published until after the news dropped but still, I think it technically counts as the first public utterance confirming the tour that occurred outside the confines of Radiohead HQ: https://www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/82dyw29p3may2fa-dwb79-eycgn-fahgj-8yxba-c6hde-7lne6-5kthd-7a97eThis is Colin Greenwood talking to Brian Hiatt of Rolling Stone, also talking about his book, but then also fielding Radiohead questions in a much different manner to the Adam Buxton interview. An equally awesome interview, just a different vibe: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/colin-greenwood-interview-book-radiohead-reunion-tour-1235213867/This is Colin Greenwood’s book, you should buy it if you like owning nice things: https://howtodisappearbook.com/Of all the dozens and dozens of core texts, historical ephemera and other Radiohead-related media your boys have grown up poring over and studying over the years, I wanted to list one to close out these here shownotes. Because maybe someone has gone from Radiohead-ambivalent to Radiohead-curious by listening to us be nerds for an hour and a half. So this was one Christopher sent me right after the right concert. One that I must have watched twenty times about twenty years ago. Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcfI82NQGwQAlso linking to The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth Of All Time as I still remember Christopher buying it so we could watch it together in his house around two decades ago and I have always wanted to rewatch it so just take this as a note-to-self lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEzMFeOCnss

NOW YOU SEE ME: Reviewed! You did it, you’re magic! That’s right! The third Now You See Me (aka Now You See Three aka Now You Don’t See Me So What Is It Exactly You’re Seeing Then) has come out this week so of course your boys are out here IN PODCAST LAND reviewing the first Now You See Me. It is pretty much ONLY SPOILERS. It is another Spoiler Special. We spoil the film early and then we continue to spoil specific scenes, big reveals, the whole shebang. Depending on where you’re at with the Now You See Me trilogy, proceed accordingly.As we will similarly answer and respond to all mysteries and questions though, the real magic on the CCCAH this week is, as ever … the magic of … friendship. N’aww.  Listener, once upon a time … Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt came up with a story. Then Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt wrote a screenplay. And finally Louis Leterrier directed a film. That film, ladies and gentlemen? Now You See Me. Then about twelve years later I watched it on Dailymotion while Christopher went to the movies to see the third film on the big screen and then your boys did a podcast covering it all. Bada bing bada boom, abracadabra son!  You know what, just read the film’s Wikipedia instead of watching the film fuck it lol (if we didn’t do enough spoiling and plot talk for ya): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_You_See_Me_(film)Jesse Eisenberg spoke about the new film Now You See Me Now You Don’t on Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Fallon found what Jesse Eisenberg was talking about very entertaining tbh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXz_-paavgFor Roger Ebert dot com, Ignatiy Vishnevetsky gave “Now You See Me” 3 stars (out of 4) and the film was listed as a “Thriller”: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/now-you-see-me-2013For Roger Ebert dot com, Matt Zoller Seitz gave “Now You See Me 2” 2 stars (out of 4) and the film was listed as “Crime”: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/now-you-see-me-2-2016For Roger Ebert dot com, Matt Zoller Seits gave “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” 2 and a half stars (out of 4) and the film was listed as “Action”: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/now-you-see-me-3-now-you-dont-film-review-2025First tweet of the week: https://x.com/politicalmath/status/1989916297040466104 Second tweet of the week: https://x.com/FilmUpdates/status/1990100408111698128Quote tweet of the week (which is a tweet quote-tweeting the aforementioned second tweet of the week): https://x.com/holdenfordfocus/status/1990196081939095575Third tweet of the week: https://x.com/themichaelcaine/status/1954212537974628665Fourth tweet of the week: https://x.com/themichaelcaine/status/1950575825708859891Fifth tweet of the week: https://x.com/IhabHassane/status/1950581150012919915Check out our website: cccappraisalhour.showCheck out our e-mail: cccappraisalhour@gmail.comCheck out our Twitter: twitter.com/cccappraisalpodCheck out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cccappraisalhourCheck out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cccahourSpecial FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: The bit where we talked over each other like three or four times … and then I looked up Michael Caine’s latest tweet and the *CLICKEDY CLACK CLICKEDY CLACK* sound of me typing on my keyboard just BOOMS in your ears.

Where are you at, future guests!? We hope you’re getting your pitches, scores and guesses ready. There are so many off-points to … accumulate (right Christopher?) and … archive (right Jonny?) so someone can … win the whole show at the end of time? Me, hopefully. Anyway lol we can’t wait to have you on. You, that’s right you. If you can prove you’ve read this far into the end of the show notes you are automatically invited on to the podcast as a special guest. Screenshot this portion of the shownotes and send it to us and we’ll organise the episode. First one to do it gets an episode! Hahahaha … if someone reminds us of this many years from now that will be even funnier to be fair.
