Never fear! Jason and Paul are gearing up to discuss the 2017 Christmas Special; but first, we have a previously recorded story review for you! The third Doctor and the Master face off, once again, in “The Time Monster”! The Master is trying to bring an ancient Atlantian power back to life to take over time itself… what could go wrong, this time?

So, we finally have all our Doctors in a row enough to bring our review of the Christmas episode this year. We apologize for the lateness of this review. These last couple of weeks have been filled with both biological and technical ich. But we're back! Consider us regenerated, like the Doctor! Now, on with the spoilery, Christmasy show!

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS

JC and Rita get to the bottom of the Last Jedi controversy, review the Doctor Who Christmas Special and reflect on the Peter Capaldi, Steven Moffat and Murray Gold eras. Plus Lucifer, the Walking Dead, and More! Be sure to check out the video version of this podcast!

Welcome to 2018 which, for now at least, is the Time of Not Much Happening, exemplified by a rather sparse news list this week in the form of "Twice Upon A Time" stats, writer non-participation, new Gallifrey One guests, and the fact that Doctor Who is filming in South Africa! But also, for your edification and entertainment, we also have an interview with Sophie Aldred and Lisa Greenwood from Chicago TARDIS. Listen, enjoy and patiently wait for Series 11 with the rest of us!

Couldn’t make the episode any worse.

Things are about to get pretty rocky on the show. Trust Your Doctor and Doctor Who. Both of them. Look it’s just bad, it’s that point in the year where we have to wonder if it’s really worth continuing the show anymore. Because Doctor Who is a bit ropey right now. It’s Love and Monsters, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on June 17, 2006.

"Twice Upon a Time" Review

As we come to the end of the first week of the new (and hopefully better) year it's time once again to dive into the world of Geekdom.

This week Monts and Nuge take a detailed look at Justice League and The Last Jedi. Be warned though as the geeky twosome will be spoiling the heck out of both films.

This week Monts and Nuge take a detailed look at Justice League and The Last Jedi. Be warned though as the geeky twosome will be spoiling the heck out of both films.

There are no shortage of short story reviews in this week’s episode. First we tackle the collection of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart stories in the recently released HAVOC Files 4. We examine the stories in the set NOT released as individual titles throughout the year.

Then, we move to two stories released in recent weeks. First it’s “What’s Past is Prologue” by David McIntee.

And then we review “The Note” by Andy Frankham Allen.

Enjoy!

We're back after a long hiatus to begin our discussion of "The Web Planet," starting with the first two episodes, "The Web Planet" and "The Zarbi". After a long time away, starting here was... maybe.. not... the beeessstttt... Oh well, we made it through and you can finally join us once more for beep ants, bee men, lots of blinking, arm-napping, questionable noises, and the wanton destruction of a perfectly good tie-belt!

Happy New Year! MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back for its 150th episode, a discussion of the DOCTOR WHO Series 6 (32) episode, "The God Complex", written by Toby Whithouse and directed by Nick Hurran. We missed this episode on its original airing, during one of our (many) hiatus... hiatuses... hiati?, and it dovetails nicely with #148 on "The Horns of Nimon", so it gets that coveted spot as the sesquicentennial podcast!

"God Complex" is an intriguing mix of creepy mystery/horror combined with a philosophical examining of our core faith/beliefs (be it in religion or other outside forces, or, in the case of Amy, the Doctor himself). It features a Minotaur at the center of a maze, but a very different one from classic Greek Mythology (or even "Nimon", which is namechecked in this story, thus the idea to link this with "Horns of Nimon").

We dive deep in the story and its various elements, discussing what worked and what could have been fleshed out more. We talk about the excellent guest cast, the denouement with the Doctor saying goodbye (apparently) to Amy & Rory, and even discussion about what the Doctor saw, which was a mystery at the time, but is actually revealed in the episode in a very clever way (and ultimately very clearly revealed in "The Time of the Doctor").

John has some great trivia as well, which is such a key part of our podcast! It's a really fun discussion that we hope you'll enjoy!

Ok so the commentary itself isn't monstrous. Nor is the episode. The amount of whiskey consumed while commentating...? Join Deb and Erika as they do a live-from-Deb's-couch, in-person commentary! (recorded in November, 2017, during Erika's epic US vacation-adventure)
