AMERICAN MOVIE: Reviewed! 

Our BRITISH PODCAST is reviewing AMERICAN MOVIE today! And it’s not just any American Movie … it’s THE American Movie directed by Chris Smith and released in 1999. One of the 1,000 Greatest Movies Ever Made according to the New York Times. Will we one day feature in the 1,000 Greatest Podcasts Ever Made? Or will the chronicling of our rise and fall as a podcast empire on an award winning podcast called WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHRISTOPHER AND JEFFREY be the podcast that features on the New York Times list? Seems slightly more likely lol. Ooh maybe we should make that podcast ourselves! A parody radio-drama type thing. Like Serial but instead of important, it will be stupendously stupid. Yes, that sounds like us.  

Anyway, we are really getting into the weeds of the Review One Thing MID-SEASON … as we as a podcast-lovin’-community transition from summer (say it ain’t so, summer don’t go!) to Autumn. Just as good a time to be listening to (and producing) podcasts! So whether Review 1 Thing devolves into a Review 8 things carnival or solidifies into a concisely formatted and guest-friendly operation that rivals Off Menu, let’s enjoy Season 6 in all it’s unique glory while it is here.

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: The bit when we finally crystallised what off points mean in terms of their accumulation and how many you need to accrue before you can hand off the silver ball of pitching and what happens when the golden ball of pitching is resplendently archived on the website https://cccappraisalhour.show … obviously, duh! A thoroughly unique points system finally sorted jeez, only took us six seasons. How does that sound, Jonny?
