NIRVANA THE BAND THE SHOW THE WEB SERIES: Reviewed!

Ok so here we are. We’re doing it again. Another episode. Another episode of the podcast. A podcast destined for a live show at The Rivoli:

It’s that show you know talking about that other show you know. Both little modest operations just made with LOVE - WE ARE SHARING THE LOVE! THE CCCAH HEARTS NTBTS! At least in theory, the fact that they did it all in a DIY fashion for the love of the game. Whether we actually loved it or not is not a pre-determined given … ok, have I projected too much that we both really enjoyed it? SPOILERS! EPISODE SPOILERS! NIRVANA THE BAND THE SHOW THE WEB SERIES SPOILERS ALSO! So many spoilers. Welcome to the spoiler podcast, that is basically our deal.

Ok anyway, want to hear us reviewing a whole ass WEB SERIES TEN EPISODES LONG?? Excluding the bonus eleventh episode which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED?? (Shout out the Buena Vista Social Club!!) Of course you do!

Here is the web series. We watched the DVD versions, not the Web versions or DVD commentaries … yet! Haha! But yes you can toggle between the different versions so easily. A handy sidebar illustrating the differences between the DVD versions and Web versions for the majority of the episodes is some especially juicy stuff for the real heads! From not knowing anything about nirvana the band the show to being real heads, eh (*Canadian style “eh”) we love it: https://nirvannathebandthe.show/episodes/

Watch Matt Johnson roast some mid reviews of BlackBerry! My guy has Letterboxd thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S_zwmYZLU0

Watch Matt and Jay talk about how not to get sued and outline their creative rules. Genuinely illuminating lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbegN2RG_bc

Matt Johnson won’t let us get sued Christopher, don’t worry: https://pitchfork.com/news/metallica-confirm-life-burns-faster-residency-at-sphere/

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher made himself smile and said “I’m glad I can still make you laugh after all these years” like what the hell what is this rom com bullshit? Oh wait, we’re literally nirvana the band, yep. The cultural content consumption appraisal hour the show. Will we be a web series by next week? Guessing by how packed the shared calendars are looking (we actually haven’t done that but imagine hahaha) I’ll spoil this for y’all: NOT BY NEXT WEEK NO lol.

WHY DO UK SUPERMARKETS HAVE CLOCK TOWERS BY CHRIS SPARGO: REVIEWED!

Well hello there podcast listener. The story of our journey to become YouTubers (???) starts in 2023. We were post-covid and had chatted about starting a podcast for years. Two middle aged dudes (excuse me?) talking to each other and just sending their chats out there into the ether on a consistently (RIP week 2) weekly basis for years and years, at this point. If you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s clearly not serving any functional purpose. So why do so many podcasts in the UK have one of these (*points at co-host) and have you ever actually asked yourself … what’s all that about?

Anyway, how are you today? What kind of day has it been? And how did you feel about the thirty second game not featuring in the cold open? We certainly weren’t sure. Or Jeffrey claiming back the rights to the “let’s start the show” this week. Christopher has threatened to wrest the reigns back and reclaim the “let’s start the show” revolution for his own purposes next week. The suspense is thrilling, if not barely worth a mention. But hey, we chatted about it. So you have to hear about it. And we got to a thirty second game eventually!

Real talk though, what are your thoughts on cold opens? 2 and a half minutes to 3 minutes is the window, no? But yeah, why are we talking about literally the most trivial matters possible in this week’s show notes? Well let’s just say that we (much like the YouTube algorithm) have been Chris Spargo pilled. Let the rest of the shownotes show this, for the record, by simply being a series of relevant YouTube titles with their associated links without any further commentary. Enjoy.

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: Christopher’s story about his name being referenced in a social media post. That shit was crazy. Did you guys hear that? I am still processing all that. Also Christopher had to choose between three pitches this week based on run times alone. That was some fun further gamification of the … games we play. Here are the three run times he chose between:

1 hour 28 minutes

2 hours 22 minutes

3 hours 30 minutes

Wild. Ok so how do we end these shownotes? Grabbing our crisps and dropping some and looking around a bit? Hey who cares about endings, who here needs a beginning, middle and end when you can just spam MIDDLE energy? Look ma, I’m MIDMAXXING.

THE NEWSROOM SERIES FINALE SEASON 3 EPISODE 6: Reviewed!

We finally did it (we’re here) and we’re going from a pilot to a finale in the course of a handful of episodes. Season six truly is a season of wonders. And spoilers. It’s not just episode spoilers today, it’s whole show spoilers. Details spoilers. Quote spoilers. Character arc spoilers. Relationship spoilers. Will they won’t they … they did or did not spoilers! So yeah. It might be gibberish if you have never Newsroom’d. If you would like to Newsroom … maybe go listen to us reviewing the pilot and see if it tickles your fancy. Or if you’re ambivalent but enjoy hearing friends really (hurriedly) go into the weeds discussing the series finale of a show they have just finished watching … then great, we’re happy to have you! *shuffles papers*

Watch the finale of The Newsroom by going on to eBay and buying Season 3 of The Newsroom like I did dammit: ebay.co.uk

Shout out Hasan Mutlluuz on Dailymotion (you’ll have to do some scrolling and/or searching to find it but hey): https://www.dailymotion.com/hasanmutlluuz

Let’s listen to the actual greatest podcast in the world … roast Aaron Sorkin for 8 hours straight. That is right. As mentioned on our podcast (an up and coming podcast) they roast him good, hot diggety damn. But hey … it is my contention that if your art is just so damn unique to you that your corpus can be roasted for nearly 8 hours straight across various works … then surely … you have a singular-ass style! And surely this is what we should all be striving for. To be the most ourselves possible. But yes, let’s lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsYg97XM_6s

Ok now that we have the roasting out of the way and the critical temperature has been balanced out here … let’s watch Aaron Sorkin talking to David Brooks about CHARACTER. David Brooks is well into CHARACTER and as such, a pretty good conversation is had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eucVNYQNGAs

Richard Lawson wrote a review of the series finale for Vanity Fair, which is well worth a read: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/12/the-newsroom-series-finale

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher started banging on about how it is an indictment of this sixth season’s #REVIEW1THING format that we don’t roll into the order of who guesses and scores first that smoothly (like has he heard heard our run ups to a thirty second game) … bro I literally don’t know what you’re talking about, who cares about the order!? OUR SCORES ARE LOCKED IN! I literally don’t know what you’re talking about when you bang on about this. Christopher, you came down here, insulted my format and demanded to know why we didn't prepare a better one. Let me add this to the conversation. For two years I've been listening to people like you say they can't believe no one's been prosecuted for these Wall Street crimes and after two years I'm still fuzzy on what crime was committed and who should be prosecuted for it. You're a podcast host who gets to spend an hour on one subject. And I'm at least an average consumer of news, and you have failed to get me to understand what you've called the most important story of the last ten years. So, after you get done telling me how badly we did *our* job last night, you may want to do an internal investigation of your own work.

KEVIN CAN F*** HIMSELF PILOT: Reviewed!

Welcome to another episode of that show we do. You know the one. We do it every bloody week of our lives. You did it, you’re here and all that good stuff. You know all our catchphrases. We’ve got “you did it, you’re here”, as mentioned … what else … well, never mind, the thing is, with six seasons in the bag, we are definitely the kind of show that theoretically *could* have lots of catchphrases. And in the end, isn’t that what really matters?

No, not really, we need actual catchphrases? Who are you to demand such things of us? We give you an hour worth of content every week. Christopher moaning about how we have to long stuff out in the #ReviewOneThing era?? Bro, we had to long things out before. The whole podcast is just us longing everything out, get with the (long!) programme!

Anyhoodles, today we’re joining Alison and her meaningless life in this week’s episode. We have a helluva time talking all Kevin Can Fuck Himself. Yep, that’s right. These are explicit as fuck shownotes where we can just write out that blasphemous word. No caving to network censors here. But yeah. Who among us cannot relate to the idea that life can be both a frivolous little sitcom and a heavy-as-fuck melodrama? Well, this show doesn’t think seeing life in such a binary black and white kind of way is a bit too on the nose at all, in fact, this show thinks that is perfect! Are we on to a winner? Well surely someone has to win this episode? Or are we simply moving our streak obsession from a-streak-of-specials to a-streak-of-draws?

Kindly pay attention to the programme and all your questions will be answered. Probably.

Watch the pilot of Kevin Can F*** Himself here … when you buy the DVD, psych!: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kevin-Can-Himself-Season/dp/B09FC86K6W

Valerie Armstrong (creator of the show) talks about creating the show with Rolling Stone: https://variety.com/2021/tv/features/kevin-can-fk-himself-valerie-armstrong-worldbuilding-interview-1234975353/

DAVID BOWIE FINAL ACT: Reviewed!

Welcome back to the shownotes, shownotes fans! Are you ready to hear us discussing yet another biographical documentary? Another musical biographical documentary, no less! Of course you are! Mister Christopher is wearing his big boy pants this week and telling Mister Jeffrey exactly who is pitching the thirty second game and Jeffrey is in awe of these levels of confidence and self belief and he believes in his friend so he’s like “yeah ok man”. I know it’s missing that crucial CCCAH ingredient we love so much, an essential part of any CCCAH stew is … the boys trying to think back to the last episode and recall what they were reviewing and who pitched a thirty second game! But hey … don’t worry, I don’t think we’ve ditched that forever.

But hey, let’s enjoy this week for what it is! We’re still happy new year-ing (Christopher grimacing every time I say or type those words at this point hahaha) up a storm for our last January episode of 2026.

So, rambling introductions aside (we like those around here, can’t you tell) this episode is all about a new David Bowie documentary. I think we agree on how to pronounce Boiwe, so that’s good. But what isn’t good is how scant our knowledge is of the Starman’s discography. But then again, does this allow for a bit more enjoyment and novelty for us when watching this documentary, as opposed to when we watched It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley last week with such geeky knowledge of Jeff Buckley informing our view of every talking head’s anecdote and musical choice of the director. We shall see. In this episode. Will we come out of it bigger Bowie fans? More Bowie-curious? Will one of us decide to do a reverse-chronological Bowie-deep-dive while the other feels ready to at least give a few more songs, if not an album at some point (shout out Black Star, always) a try? We shall see. Will we ever review albums on this podcast again? Oh boy, on that one … we really *will* see soon. Hopefully. Six seasons and a patreon, six seasons and patreon. We can’t give everything away.

You can watch David Bowie Final Act here. Channel 4 baby. We love you so much: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/bowie-the-final-act

Lets read Lazarus by as it covers the same ground as the film and is apparently very good: https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Lazarus-The-Second-Coming-of-David-Bowie/Alexander-Larman/9781917923446

Let’s watch the Jeremy Paxman interview in full, as I did right before we recorded! As Goldie said, it might be one of his best ever interviews. And yes, Bowie did so many interviews over the years that might be just as high praise as calling one of his albums his best ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiK7s_0tGsg

IT'S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY: Reviewed!

Hey podcast fans! And Jeff Buckley fans. We insist you all be both. You can’t be one without the other. Do you understand? Can you compute that?? What is your major malfunction numbnuts?? Ok, good, you agree?? Good. Well then. You did it and you’re here … you’re here in the world of Jeff Buckley fandom. We love that for you and we love that for us and WE LOVE THAT! WELCOME!

Okay. Sorry about all that. I didn’t mean to get so angry like Jeff Buckley singing Eternal Life, I meant to be loving and tender like Jeff Buckley singing Everybody Here Wants You. Come back to us and let us make it up to you like Jeff Buckley signing Lover You Should've Come Over And now we can pay tribute to the goat Jeff Buckley like Jeff Buckley paid tribute to the goat Leonard Cohen singing Hallelujah.

It's a CCCAH rite of passage. Hearing the boys talk about Buckley. Finally. We love him so, you know. And we have done for decades. But hey, that doesn't necessarily mean we'll love the film ... so stay tuned. Stick around. Anyone could win this one. But mainly me, I think I'd like to win this one.

The official website for the film It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley. Love the comma there, always love a well placed comma in a title: https://www.magpictures.com/jeffbuckley/

RORY SCOVEL LIVE WITHOUT FEAR: Reviewed!

You did it, you’re here, you’re live without fear. Or you live without fear. Both. Let’s say you do both. Just like us. Here on this show. The triple C. The A to the H. Where we appraise for an hour. Where the culture flows freely and well because we are artists and the content is consumed and disseminated because we live in a capitalist society.

We continue to discuss art every week, whether it makes us lol (comedy) or weep (tragedy) or anything in between (probably a magazine). And as much as we continue to discuss things … we never really get to any definitive conclusions, with our most favourite finds anyway, now do we? As Alyson Stanfield said “The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you”. Wow Alyson. You must have listened to us blathering on about stuff we like. Thank you for listening.

Anyway this week we (the boys) are discussing another stand up comedy. It’s called Rory Scovel Live Without Fear. It’s about a man called Rory … living without fear or something. This one is a hybrid of a thing. A half special half documentary, and it lives for free on YouTube. Which all the other platforms should sit up and take a bit of notice of … hear that, stupid platforms that cost a lot … FREE!

We love stand up comedy. And funny things. And laughing. Will Rory join our hall of fame of comedians we will one day see live? Our definitive answer is, of course, as always … perhaps!

Watch Rory Scovel Live Without Fear here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvXhCayQXkc

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/zrk83qt

Hahaha 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/

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher went in on Jonathan Byers. 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.
