Watch parties will be happening (fairly) regularly on Tuesdays in the Taskhusbands discord server in the voice channel.  They are open to everyone in the server, and will be a livestreamed event.  If you do not have the media in question, don’t worry!  You won’t need access to it.

When is it?

Watch parties will be taking place on Tuesdays between 2-3pm Portland time.  You can see what time that is for by clicking here and adding your own time zone to the chart.  The times may shift a bit depending on group (and host) availability, but this is what we’re going with for now.

What’s playing?

What we watch depends on what gets suggested here.  You can suggest as many films, stand up specials, television programmes, etc as you like, put please limit one request per form.  Requests will be pulled randomly from the list, depending on their length, whether I have to track them down (and how difficult that is), and the overall mood of the server.

Watch parties will generally last as long as people have energy for (host included).  For television, this could mean watching a full six-episode run in one go, or just a single stand up special.  What we will almost certainly not be doing is collectively binge watching full multi-series programmes at once.  For longer, multi-series programmes, we will navigate those as we come to them.

Currently I am building a collection of works involving Taskmaster alum, but we are not limited to this list by any means.  It’s also going to take me ages to get the collection put together, but so will watching all of it.

How to Participate

As this will be in the voice channel, there will be some quick rules around microphones.  At the beginning of the party, we’ll have an open lobby to make sure sound and picture works for everyone.  Only the host should be streaming video.  Once the watch party begins properly, all microphones must be muted, and chat directed to the accompanying text channel.

If subtitles are available, they should be turned on to English.

If you would like to guest host, please DM me to arrange so we can set it up in advance.
