SkavauIt's Saturday, what have you watched this week?
Feel free to have a look at
đMaximum DerekđMy wife and I decided to do a Taskmaster rewatch before series 21 lands. We started with the New Zealand version and just finished series 4 of the original.
Maximum Mantazokus.
Quick edit:
Iâve always want a âchaosâ special like Champions of Champions.
Have Mantazokus, Acaster, and a couple of the other craziest for an episode or two
I like that idea. I think Tim Key would be good in that episode as the amoral, calculating madman.
Recently Alex was asked about a Champions of Champions of Champions after series 25. He seemed to downplay that idea but suggested they had other stuff in the works. My mind immediately went to a loserâs circle episode where folks like Nish, Joe Wilkinson, David Baddiel, and others are playing to determine the worst of the worst.
I couldnât quite find that Taskmaster spark in the New Zealand version. I think the Taskmaster is a bit too stiff and doesnât seem to be having fun. In contrast, I loved Taskmaster Australia season 4, especially Dave Hughes.
I had the opposite experience. Jeremy is fun enough, I like when the folks that have known him forever take him down a peg. And I like Paul as the assistant, I see why he friends with Acaster and that circle of UK comedians. But I donât like either Tom on TM AU. Gleeson kind of just seems like a prick.
Thatâs interesting that you had the opposite experience. Tom Gleeson was definitely a prick in the first season but I think he mellowed out.
Iâll give Taskmaster Australia another try. I did skip the middle seasons.
You mustâve loved the Jason Mantzoukas season based on your username.
I may have to give Australia another shot. I was ready to swear it off after the first series, but when Lloyd Langford got cast for the 2nd I gave it another go, and 2 was better than 1. So I should give 3 and 4 a go too.
I did like Mantzoukas a lot. It tickled me that he lost money on the gig because he want to be on so bad he paid his own expenses. But I worry that itâs started a trend of big, headline grabbing contestants (like Kumail).

TrackinDaKrakenItâs rare that I watch anything I try for more than a few minutes, most times, I shut it off quickly.
In order of recommendation:
Good Luck, Have Fun, Donât Die -- I was pleasantly surprised. I went in blind, having not heard of the movie before.
Shrinking -- Iâve been caught up for a while, just waiting with everyone else for new episodes now.
Rooster -- Watched first episode last night, not bad.
Party Down -- Watching for the first time, nearly done. I was a bit surprised by season 3, it was filmed years after the first two, and suddenly everyone wasnât young anymore.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms -- It was okay, I watched all six episodes, no magic or dragons, which was a plus. Iâll probably forget about it, and not watch the next season, if it gets one.

ăé»ćź¶é§ Wong Ka Kuiă | (aka: éłłć°éą ć¶ç Hououin Kyouma)wait wtf? why does this post say â8 MONTHS AGOâ and show up on top of âNEWâ? đ€
Is it just me?
đ° đ đ± đŠ đł đŠ đ° đź I watched Furry Vengeance last night.
Shit was like Over the Hedge, but from the perspective of the humans instead of the raccoon.
The memes Iâve seen from the movie were better than the movie itself.
