Episode 161: The Armageddon Factor OR Doctor Who and the Crystal Skull
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 4 minutes and 30 secondsWe've made it, friends! We've reached the end of The Key to Time series with a six-part whopper THE ARMAGEDDON FACTOR! The Doctor and Romana land on Atrios in the midst of a seemingly fierce war with Zeos. But Zeos kind of...isn’t there. Is the Marshal of Atrios wagging the dog or are darker, much darker, forces at work? Say, a crystal jelly skull behind a wonky mirror? We dive into this story and discuss how well it caps of an entire season of adventure! Be sure to rate and review us! And if you're able to support us on Patreon, we'd greatly appreciate it!

Episode 156: The Tenth Planet OR Secret Mission Coffee

-

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 2 secondsThis time John & Taylor take it back to the Wild Wild West.

Will they make it out alive or will the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon drive them mad?

With these stories, the Moff arrives in signature Moff style with commonplace items turned scary, a deeply emotional family story, and an answer telegraphed well ahead of time. Plus, we get the introduction of Captain Jack! John & Taylor start to add to their collection of 9th Doctor reviews by adding the quite enjoyable duo of The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances! A classic tale of spooky stuff from the Moff with a touching family tale within. And, could this possibly be the happiest ending of any Doctor Who story?

Episode 152: Snakedance OR A Side of Mara-Nara Sauce
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 6 minutes and 33 secondsThe Mara, done chillin’ in the recesses of Tegan’s mind, sets our team on an adventure to Manussa where he’s/it’s (I double checked its gender) determined to return to full strength in a move worthy of Voldemort. However, all it’s armed with (pun...snakes have no arms) is a ritual and a crystal stolen from the hood of an 84 Chrysler LeBaron convertible. John and Taylor are back to review the 5th Doctor story Snakedance! Originally suggested by friend-of-the-show Mike, it was feared this might be a trap of pure bonkers. Instead, John found himself completely under the spell of the Mara and completely loved this story. Will you be equally enamored? You'll have to listen to find out!
-
Episode 151: The Stranger - Summoned by Shadows OR The Triple Dilemma
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 16 secondsAt the suggestion of friend-of-the-show Mike, John and Taylor found themselves in an alternate universe where Doctor Who made its way through the Wilderness Years as The Stranger! Wait, that wasn't an alt universe? They really made this in 1991? That's right! We explore the, um, interesting world of getting your Who fix when there wasn't Who to be had! The guys had reactions. And they also worked to improve it a'la Sleep No More.

Episode 147: Dr. Who and the Daleks OR Someone Set Us Up the Bomb
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 52 secondsDalekmania was once a thing. And it caused people to do some crazy things. For instance, the 1965 film Dr. Who and the Daleks in which we throw out most of Doctor Who canon to create an unusual alternate world in which a normal old doddering scientist just happens to create a time machine out of a Police box that's bigger on the inside (and quite cluttered)and travel to Skaro to meet and defeat the Daleks. We definitely have feelings about this adventure, so come check it out!

Can the Doctor correct things? Will Graham suddenly turn into this season's Samuel L Jackson? Let's find out! Taylor and John sit down to dissect the Season Finale of Doctor Who and discuss, in deeper terms, what makes a good season finale. Have we been conditioned by earlier seasons to expect a big blowout?

-
Episode 138: Arachnids in the UK OR God Save the Spider Queen
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 27 secondsFor an episode whose title is a pun on a Sex Pistols song, we expected more Sex Pistols references. In lieu of that, we made sure our title fit that bill. That's right! John and Taylor are back to discuss the 4th episode of Season 11: Arachnids in the UK! While the story wasn't the strongest, even when you tell yourself that it's all an homage to B-movies, there's still a lot to love in this episode. We talk music, effects, character development, and ultimately how rather unsatisfying the end is. But join us for the fun, the banter, and the analysis.
