I just made it to the end of series two and this show is everything I could have hoped it would be. After finally taking a look at the op I saw that there’s an official podcast! And not only one, but at least 11 of them! Are any of the others worth checking out while I’m at it?

itry posted:11 podcasts? I'm only aware of the official ones with Ed Gamble and the "people's podcast" or w/e with Lou Sanders. Looking again one of them was a wrestling podcast so I’m not including that but the rest of these seem to be about the show… I think    E- upon further inspection a few of those seem to be defunct but it’s still more than two, I promise Snowy fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Apr 18, 2023 |

Now I’m midway into season three and have forced at least four other people into loving it too. The podcast is so good, hearing Romesh talk about smashing 36 eggs was even better than seeing him do it in the first place. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him on anything but Taskmaster but I’m a fan now.

Is the show usually censored or is that just on YouTube? It was fun hearing uncensored clips on the podcast and made me wonder how I can see it that way.

Five episodes into my first viewing of series 4 and it’s definitely my least favorite so far. The combination of punitive scoring against Hugh while Noel gets many blatantly undeserved high scores is a little too much, even on a show that isn’t really that competitive. Before this series I liked Noel but now I’m getting sick of his poo poo and hope he doesn’t get handed the golden Greg when it should probably go to Joe

The_Doctor posted:I don’t know if he ever comes back but I’m up to ep 11 of the podcast and the Greg Davies episode is fantastic. I’m on season 5 and following along with the podcast for each episode. It’s a fun way to experience the show for the first time, except for how often he drops spoilers about the season outcomes. I guess he assumes everyone has seen it all already, but I haven’t

I was enjoying listening to the Taskmater podcast as I go through my first watch of the show but drat Ed drops so many spoilers it’s crazy. He’ll preface the episode by saying something like “if you haven’t watched this episode go watch it and come back” then he’ll proceed to reveal the winner of the series, and if the guest is from a later series he’ll probably spoil that one too. The only relatively safe move is to wait until I’ve finished a series then go back and only listen if the guest is from that series or earlier. Anyway, Taskmaster rules. I’m on series 7 and wish I could binge it faster but my girlfriend would kill me if I kept going without her.

Phigs posted:I don't really get the big problem people have with food waste on TV. Fair enough if it's a massive amount of food, but nobody was going hungry if Dara O'Brien didn't get some old man to suck up the orange juice in his breakfast pan. Yeah, there’s an incredible amount of food waste on every tv show just from excess catering for the crew. The onscreen food waste probably doesn’t even compare but we actually see it happen

The_Doctor posted:Crew take a lot of food home with them, there’s a lot less wastage than you’d think from craft services. I’ve been working in film and tv for 25 years, what I see is absolutely insane routine waste  E- they often discourage bringing much food home too. If you happen to catch them right before it all goes in the trash then sure but that’s unlikely. Many caterers won’t put out the to-go containers because they don’t want people taking meals home with them Snowy fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Jul 5, 2023 |

Grassy Knowles posted:It is quite plausible that everything within my experience has been uniquely slipshod — it’s not a component of my career and most of my associates whose careers it is are less likely to be on an active set, which I understand to have significance here as well. When they are it’s some independent short. Yeah it’s mostly just the shooting crew’s catering waste that’s so outrageous, especially on big productions. But I could also see it being very tough to improve the situation with such large volumes of food on very tight timelines and odd schedules. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen single meals cause more food waste than the entirety of what I’ve seen on Taskmaster but I won’t ramble on about catering/craft service forever as much as I would love to I just do my part by putting as much of it in my belly as possible o7

What are some good podcasts by Taskmaster contestants? I’m going on a long flight so I’m downloading a bunch of new stuff. I’ve listened to a little of Lou Sanders’ Cuddle Club, a little Horne Section, and I have a few episodes downloaded of Romesh’s hip hop show and Turning the Tables with James Acaster and Josh Widdicombe. Seems like lots of them have had multiple shows so I don’t know where to start, some must stand out from the rest. Oh and I’m only on season 9 so I don’t really want to start listening to people I haven’t seen on TM yet

I’m catching up on TM slowly but surely, halfway through series 14 now and finally able to start skimming the thread without fear of spoilers. So far I’d say the most unfairly underrated contestants are Jo and Liza, my BFFs, and most overrated is still Noel. At least I haven’t felt like anyone since 4 has been as egregiously handed points as Noel was. If he had won the champion of champions I would have had to at least act like a petulant baby for a few minutes or something This show rules

theflyingexecutive posted:gently caress, lol That’s what I’ve been thinking today, that I’d go there straight from work if I get out early enough. It’s a long shot but gently caress it, doesn’t seem like something that’ll come up again. It would be cool to meet up but I can’t say for sure that I’m going until Monday. I’ll PM you then.  I would love to actually crash it if possible. Maybe if I print out that task and wear a silly jumpsuit they’d have to let me in.

CatstropheWaitress posted:Having fun imagining what that would look like. "THE BOSS", with a BOSS and his personal assistant, sending jobs that four celebrities have to complete. They are then rewarded anywhere from $1 to $500 dollars depending on how well they did. At the end the winner gets to keep the money they earned and the losers get nothing. This is making me imagine a Trump-hosted Apprentice/Taskmaster crossover and I hate it
