Despite the title of this episode, our three fearless podcasters have mostly nice things to say about the three 60th Anniversary Specials. Like the Tenant Doctor, JB, Chris and Sean come to terms with slowing down in their advanced ages while the world of Doctor Who moves on to a more fantastical direction. It gets kinda philosophical, but they get in a few lewd comments along the way (hence the double meaning of the podcast episode).
There was a lot of stuff that went on in the world of Doctor Who pre-60th anniversary that we really needed to discuss, however we’re again short one fucker as Chris has family obligations for Thanksgiving weekend. On the eve of Doctor Who’s return to television, JB and Sean unpack the “Disney-fication” of “Tales of the Tardis”, the controversy of the “Children In Need” skit, the colorization and re-edit of “The Daleks”, and Tom Baker’s “mildly contemptuous” attitude toward his fellow Doctors.
In which two out of three ain’t bad. JB and Chris carry on while Sean is fully booked for the month with murder mysteries. They discuss “The 10 Most Hated Doctor Who Episodes”, dissect the 60th Anniversary trailer, discover their “birth episodes”, critique the “new” version of the theme tune, dive into the controversy over the rights to “An Unearthly Child”, theorize when our world jumped the timeline into the apocalypse, write the story where the Doctor meets Jesus, and attempt to figure out what the fuck is going on with Big Finish. Featuring King’s metal version of the Doctor Who theme.
JB, Chris and Sean aim to take over the world and recruit their teams from a list of minions and henchmen/women spanning the entire history of the Doctor Who universe.
NOTE: This is the video we're referring to at the end of the episode...
In which our three fearless but overheated podcasters go full Cro-Magnon as they record a commentary of the very first Doctor Who story, “An Unearthly Child”.
Mostly off-topic ramblings excised from the last two episodes. Topics include: taking a constitutional, recasting The Wizard of Oz and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Batman villains who were gay, kidnapping John Williams, the drunken history of David Bowie, and Chik-Fil-A shame.
In which two out of three of our fearless podcasters get high on edibles while the third gradually sobers up from the two double-shots he downed prior to recording and is left wondering how the hell he’s going to edit the recording into a listenable podcast. Did he succeed? Why not drop a review on Apple Podcasts or a post on the Facebook page and let us know? Anyway, we review the documentary film, “Doctor Who Am I” by the TV movie writer Matthew Jacobs, and we catch up on the latest casting news for Series 14.
In which the fearless three piss on the graves of deceased right-wing radio broadcasters, trade chicken sandwich recipes, sing the praises of the best Dalek story you will never see on the actual Doctor Who program, and get in some gossip about other Doctor Who podcasts. Happy Pride, everyone!
We’re two months away from Pride Season, but this is probably the queerest episode of the podcast to date as we discuss musical theater, drag queen Jinkx Monsoon joining the cast of Doctor Who, Disney vs. DeSantis, fond memories of Boystown Chicago, and the luckiest piano bench in the world. We also do a commentary for one of our favorite episodes, “The Doctor’s Wife”.
In which we go back in time to confront our racist pasts while trying not to mess with our timelines. We also spend more time than we should discussing whatever the fuck “Doom’s Day” is, and Chris starts to come around on Disney’s involvement in producing the new series. We get really political on this one, folks. You have been warned.
I'll be releasing new chapters periodically, and you can find the transcripts on the top sidebar to the right of this blog page, or you can just CLICK THIS LINK to access the table of contents (list of links to chapters). Like all blog entries and podcast releases, please feel free to leave your comments at the end of each chapter.
In which JB survives his first New Orleans Mardi Gras experience, Colin Baker gets cancelled, Doctor Who officially becomes part of the Marvel Universe, and Chris & Sean are tested on their knowledge of Doctor Who incidental and source music.
In which JB marks the 10th anniversary of becoming a Doctor Who podcaster with a commentary on his very first podcast episode.
In this technically challenged episode, we finally take on the Sixth Doctor with a Classic Commentary of “Terror of the Vervoids” (A/K/A The Trial of a Time Lord Parts 9-12), though, as always, we swerve way off topic the deeper we get into the story. We also give our Project Runway critiques of Ncuti Gatwa’s costume.
