Latest Podcast Episodes

Hello everyone! And welcome any new listeners!

So, my episode reviewing 'Knock Knock' is finally here! And this time around I talk lots about everything from my experiences at the recent local Doctor Who convention 'Wholanta', to laying down a few delightful podcast recommendations, to some musing on the whole Race!Fail period of S3 and all that really great meta that come out of all of that WAY BACK on LiveJournal (remember that site?), to Jo Grant's grandson as the Iron Fist (!), and on to dark fairy tales and (mis)interpreting them, to British English spellings vs. American ones, and to some classical geeking about Dryads, all the way to musing a bit about this adventure as an episode of the reality show 'The Real World'. Phew!

So, I truly hope you will all join me for this episode and, as always, glad to have you all aboard. Do enjoy the ride!

Children get older, and we're getting older, too. One way we can tell is that we can't hold our liquor like we could at the beginning of the Moffat era! In any case, we had a lot of fun talking about "Empress of Mars," and we hope you have some fun listening to us get silly on the podcast this week.

"Empress of Mars" Review

We've left the Monks (Moff) trilogy behind and it's back to a good old fun romp with the menacing Icccccccce Warriors who have a newly awakened Empress. A solid Gatiss story or are we left feeling cold?

Thank you so much for listening and getting in touch with your thoughts. Next week it's The Eaters of Light and we look forward to your reviews. Until then have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

Hold onto your butts, it's a wine episode!

On this week's show, Danica and Brandon bear witness to "The Empress of Mars" and gave Mark Gatiss the benefit of the doubt because they were drunk. Spoiler alert: they shouldn't have. Hey. Do you think an episode featuring the colonial British might be pretty racist? Well, at least there's treasures for them to steal. Also, penis metaphors.

"I am the Doctor... whether you like it or not."

Ahem... awkward!

Yes, this is Colin Baker's debut debacle as the Doctor, The Twin Dilemma.

A tale of a Hurndall understudy in a dress, two bratty bowl-cut brain-boxes, pestilent parrot people and a hairy slug with an inter-species libido.

And, at its centre, we have our 'hero' who tries to bluster, cower, whine and strangle his way into our hearts, and his poor sidekick, who has probably never felt quite so sidelined - or quite so kicked.

Blood bubbles, slugs slime, sartorial atrocities are committed with impunity and a thieving magpie is fed to the starving masses (tastes like chicken, apparently).

Loathe it or hate it, it's perennially at the bottom of the sort of polls its lead actor despises.

But do Jim and Martin think it lives down to its reputation?

Listen in to find out.
