  • Podcastica Episode 325: The Shakespeare Code OR Hail! Hail Freedonia!

    19 November 2024 (1:34pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 58 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, we're clearly coming out of something of an election hangover and while there's work to be done on that front, we're also coping with a bit of Doctor Who! This time we compared The Shakespeare Code to a summer's day! And it held up pretty darn well! Not only that, but we've moved ourselves and the podcast over to Bluesky so be sure to check the show notes for our new socials!


  • Podcastica Episode 324: Vote Smith and Jones 2024

    5 November 2024 (1:32pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 3 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Friends, have you voted yet? Do you perhaps need something to keep you company while you wait in line? Or maybe something to prevent you from doomscrolling your way through the day? Well, then let us offer you about an hour's respite from the election with our review of Smith and Jones (who, frankly, we'd definitely vote for!).


  • Podcastica Episode 323: New Earth OR Bouncy Castle Living

    22 October 2024 (12:36pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 54 minutes and 14 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, here's something new for your week...our review of New Earth! We'll spare you all the superfluous "New"s and instead point out that we forgot how solid this story was. It's one part Freaky Friday and two parts Night of the Living Dead! Also, don't forget to vote! That's super important that you do that. Because our next episode will literally land on Election Day!


  • Podcastica Episode 322: The Parting of the Ways OR Dalek Harvest Festival

    8 October 2024 (1:11pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 29 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Naturally, we had to follow Bad Wolf with The Parting of the Ways! We look back at the first season finale of Modern Who and remember what it was like to experience this all for the first time, what a bigger surprise it would have been if we didn't know a regeneration was coming, and how the effects hold up halfway decently for an almost 20 year old story!


  • Podcastica Episode 321: Bad Wolf OR Lynda with a Why

    24 September 2024 (12:35pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 33 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    If watching Eccleston's penultimate episode this week has taught us anything, it's that even the deep future of humanity is going to still be fixated on late 20th and early 21st century pop culture! Your guess as to why is just as good as ours! But it is a trope amongst others that we discuss this time...a long with why the heck the Daleks decided to play a long game with humanity instead of just barging into the place and breaking all the good china like they normally do!


  • Podcastica Episode 320: The Sensorites OR A Very Scooby Story

    10 September 2024 (12:38pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 2 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    He wouldn't have gotten away with it, too! If it wasn't for those meddling kids and their crotchety old Time Lord! Yes, this week we watched The Sensorites! Honestly, a pretty good six-parter that wasn't exactly fast-paced and full of action, but also didn't really have pacing problems either. What it did have was one really crazy Sensorite who did not want humans (or their Time Lord) anywhere near their planet and he did some pretty Scooby villain stuff to stop them. Well, try and stop them at least. Anyway! Grab some Scooby Snacks and let's dive in!


  • Podcastica Episode 319: The Mutants OR Quantum of Solos

    28 August 2024 (12:38pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 26 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, folks, we were warned. We were warned that The Mutants was going to be a bit of a slog. And let us tell you, it was definitely a bit of a slog. Especially after Fear Her. But! It wasn't all bad. We worked our magic and found what we really enjoyed about this story: the costuming, the sets, Jo, Stubbs & Cotton, and just how utterly bonkers episode six is! So sit back, grab a cup of whatever makes you happy, and let's look at The Mutants!


  • Podcastica Episode 318: Fear Her OR Olympic Graphite

    13 August 2024 (12:39pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 38 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, we have a saying around here, folks...They can't all be great. And when that happens, we do our best to try and Sleep No More it into something we would have liked. With Fear Her, honestly, we did our best. We really tried, but it just isn't something we liked much at all. This episode actually makes Raygun's breakdancing look good.


  • Episode 317: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS OR 20,000 Leagues Under the Console

    30 July 2024 (12:42pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 16 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, friends, we were right! The Invasion of Time definitely influences the creation of Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS! This time around, though, the TARDIS is scooped up by salvagers during a vulnerable moment and then the race is on to locate Clara and fix the engines before everything goes to heck!


  • Podcastica Episode 316: The Invasion of Time OR The Random Objects of Rassilon

    16 July 2024 (12:37pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 29 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Friends, we are back in more ways than one! After a nice summer break after Ncuti's first season wrapped, not only are we back with a review of the 4th Doctor story The Invasion of Time, but the NOTLG website is back up and running! So when we say check the story notes, you absolutely can once again!


  • Episode 315: Empire of Death OR Freak On A Leash

    25 June 2024 (12:41pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 18 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, here we are friends. At the end...of the season (not of everything, don't worry!). The Third Wave of Who (#thirdwavewho) is well underway and we've wrapped our season with Empire of Death! It certainly gave us a lot to chew on and discuss. And while we enjoyed the episode overall, there were some aspects of it that just didn't stick the landing. But the only way out is through, so let's get into it! Programming Note: We're going to take a short summer break and will be back with a new ep July 16th!


  • Podcastica Episode 314: The Legend of Ruby Sunday OR Do Ambulances Dream of Electric Patients?

    19 June 2024 (12:38pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 43 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Holy smokes, friends! The Legend of Ruby Sunday...the first part of our season finale...has given us so much to chew on! Not only is it the return of Sutekh to the show after almost 50 years, it's the possibility of who dropped Ruby at the church in 2004, it's how much we'd be very cool with a UNIT spin-off, it's speculation on Mrs. Flood, it's will Cherry ever get her tea, and so much more! And the season finale is almost here, so we better get cracking into it!


  • Podcastica Episode 313: Rogue OR Happy Pride and Prejudice Month

    12 June 2024 (12:37pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 22 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week we're joined by John's good friend and co-host on That Wrestling Show Neesin (@StayFlyLife) as we review Rogue and get a unique perspective of the Third Wave of Who from a brand new Whovian! All in all, Rogue was fantastic fun that fired on all cylinders and gave us more of an upbeat (though definitely emotional at times) romp before diving into the two-part season finale!


  • Podcastica Episode 312: Dot and Bubble OR Delete Your Account

    6 June 2024 (12:33pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 0 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, good science fiction generates thought and causes us to look at the world around us in new ways. Based just on that, Dot and Bubble is quite the episode! This week, we break down our initial feelings, analyze them, filter them through a rewatch, and then find even more to talk about. No kidding, this really was quite the episode! Join us!


  • Podcastica Episode 311: 73 Yards OR 219 Feet

    28 May 2024 (12:45pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 56 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    73 Yards is one of those rare episodes where we can get away with a pun this literal in our title! But it's also an absolute banger of a Welsh horror story! RTD has pretty much knocked this one out of the park, but that doesn't mean that we aren't left with a great deal of questions about some unanswered things from this story and the greater mystery at work this season. So let's dive into it!


  • Podcastica Episode 310: Boom OR Landmine Zen

    21 May 2024 (12:39pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 18 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Here comes the...Boom is this week's episode and sees the return of showrunner Steven Moffat to write for the RTD2 era (aka: Third Wave Who...let's get that trending). And it's a tight, tense episode with one interesting surprise that we'll learn more about later. It's no a perfect episode, by any means, but we enjoyed it a good bit! The NOTLG site is still experiencing issues, unfortunately, so there's not much hope for the show notes at the moment.


  • Podcastica Episode 309: The Devil's Chord OR Child of the Giggle

    15 May 2024 (4:51pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 7 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    What's this?! Two episodes of Podcastica in the same day!? YES! And we're discussing THE DEVIL'S CHORD which gave us many many instances of shouting YES at the TV. This story was an absolute hurricane of crazy awesomeness and we loved it from stem to stern. So join us as we tinkle the ivories (we don't actually play the piano, but let's run with the visual...) and beat the drum over how much we loved this episode!


  • Episode 308: Space Babies OR Third Wave Who

    15 May 2024 (12:39pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 27 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Friends and listeners, DOCTOR WHO IS BACK! Oh boy, we could not be more excited as we have two episodes for you this week! First up is SPACE BABIES! Yep, babies in space. Complete with a booger man (we guess the Brits pronounce it bogeyman) and RTD's love of a decent fart joke (at least it helps save the day this time). We also marvel at the special effects and wonder about Ruby's apparent power to affect the environment around her.


  • Podcastica Episode 307: Boom Town OR The Cardiff Explosion

    23 April 2024 (12:44pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 12 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, they can't all be complete winners. And while Boom Town is better than our last episode, The Long Game, it still isn't great. But, as we always do, we make our way through to find the good bits and polish them up as best we can. And on a programming note, we're going to take an extra week off to rest up, refresh, and be ready for the start of the first season of New Modern Who! So we'll be back around May 15th!


  • Podcastica Episode 306: The Long Game OR 600 Channels and Nothing On

    9 April 2024 (12:38pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 20 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Friends and listeners, we give you The Long Game! Voted the worst 9th Doctor story three times in a row, we have to admit that we mostly agree. Simon Pegg guest stars but has to play second fiddle to a poorly animated sack of meat with teeth. The universally panned Adam is here, but we actually find that he serves a purpose in this story. Plus...is the Doctor at least partially to blame for Adam's behavior?


  • Podcastica Episode 305: The Underwater Menace OR Insert Underwater Mario Level Music

    26 March 2024 (12:37pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 17 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    We accept that the animated recreations of missing Doctor Who episodes can be a little hit and miss at times. But, really, at the end of the day, we're glad that these stories exist in more than just black and white tele-snaps for viewers to enjoy! And, while we weren't bowled over by the animation this time, there's still lots to enjoy. So grab your air tanks (or just become a fish person) and join us under the sea for The Underwater Menace!


  • Podcastica Episode 304: The Android Invasion OR Resistance is Inadvisable

    13 March 2024 (2:31pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 52 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    The Android Invasion probably won't be making anyone's list for most amazing 4th Doctor story ever. But that doesn't mean there aren't any enjoyable parts to the story. We have some crazy looking androids, the Kraal are...maybe rhino people?! And there are some plot twist that, we have to admit, we didn't really see coming. So join us for a quick episode as we review The Android Invasion!


  • Podcastica Episode 303: The Chase OR Ian and Barbara's Excellent Adventure

    27 February 2024 (1:44pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 24 minutes and 19 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    London 1965!! Remember when that was a thing? Well, we're back from Gallifrey One and friend of the show MA Solko has given us The Chase to watch. Not because it's a stinker, but because it's awesome. And, boy, was he right. Not a perfect story, but a wild romp across space and time! Amongst other things, The Chase may feature our favorite cliffhanger of all time and one of the funniest scenes in all of Doctor Who!


  • PODcastica - Episode 302: Gallifrey One Day Two Recap

    18 February 2024 (4:06pm GMT)

  • Podcastica Episode 300: Planet of the Spiders OR The Fast and The Whovious

    13 February 2024 (1:45pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 31 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    On the surface, Planet of the Spiders is another 6-part story that probably would be better served as four. However, as a send-off for Jon Pertwee's Doctor, it's an absolutely bonkers adventure full of karate chops, Palpatine-esque lightning, a huge car chase, crazy Halloween-castoff spiders looking to rule the universe, callbacks to The Green Death and Jo, and so much more! So if you're on your way to Gallifrey One or just need to escape the world for an hour, join us for our 300th episode and Planet of the Spiders!!


  • Podcastica Episode 299: The Ark OR The Elephant in the Room

    30 January 2024 (1:38pm GMT)

    Direct Podcast Download

    Friends, what if we told you that we have the perfect Halloween costume idea for you and you'd get to go the whole night without having to talk to anyone! No? You don't want to have a ping pong ball in your mouth all night? Alright then, fine! But just hear us out as we talk about the Monoids, the plague that Dodo brings, the 1st Doctor "hmm'-ing a lot, Cushman carts of the deep future, and an honest-to-goodness elephant on set as we review the First Doctor adventure The Ark!!


  • Episode 298: The Mind of Evil OR Very Maybe

    16 January 2024 (1:41pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 13 minutes and 56 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    The Mind of Evil might just be Doctor Who at its greatest attempt to be an action-adventure show with a little bit of science fiction thrown in! The story is split between Stangmoor Prison and a Peace Conference for which UNIT is providing security (except for when everyone races off to the prison for the back half of the story). The Master has built a machine to harvest evil feelings, but also wants to steal a missle and blow up the conference! Looks, there's really a lot going on here and we haven't even gotten to the dragon...so get ready for some great faces from Pertwee and let's dive in!!


  • Podcastica Episode 297: The Church on Ruby Road OR Synchronicity Storms

    2 January 2024 (2:29pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 10 minutes and 1 second

    Direct Podcast Download

    Happy New Year, friends! We're starting 2024 with a look at Ncuti Gatwa's first full episode as The Doctor, The Church on Ruby Road! And on Ruby Road, we find Ruby Sunday! So, new Doctor, new companion (er, friend...), and new adventures as RTD starts weaving some fantastical elements into our fave sci-fi show. And we are totally here for it! In fact, we're left to wonder if maybe RTD has seen a certain documentary about high strangeness that we both enjoy!

    Direct Podcast Download

    Omigosh, friends, it has come and gone! The 60th Anniversary Specials have come to a smashing close with The Giggle! There's so much to talk about: The Toymaker, UNIT, what's that Vlinx thing?, Mel!, bi-generation...and what that means thematically for not just The Doctor but Doctor Who as a show. So gather the wee babbies around and let's dive into it! Programming Note: We're both traveling around Christmas time, so this is our last episode for 2023 and we'll discuss the Christmas special at the first of the new year!


  • Podcastica Episode 295: Wild Blue Yonder OR A Lifeform with a Bum

    5 December 2023 (1:42pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 26 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Off we go! Off to watch Wild Blue Yonder! Don't worry, I won't turn this entire synopsis into a song! It's far too early for that. But this week we watched the 2nd of the 60th Anniversary Specials: Wild Blue Yonder! In which we learn the value in not knowing everything that's going to happen in a story before it airs. And it was freakin' bonkers as The Doctor and Donna land on a ship out at the edge of the universe where something (some...not-things) are trying to get in. And what ensues in a visually stunning adventures in which our beloved actors really get to work double duty!


  • Podcastica Episode 294: The Star Beast OR Shatterfry the Positrons!

    DOCTOR WHO IS BACK, BABY! Holy smokes, are we ever stoked to have Doctor Who back on our screens! This time around, we dive into the first of the 60th Anniversary specials: The Star Beast! Yes, we have small nitpicks, but they're small and don't take away from our overall enjoyment of this adventure. We won't spoil any of it here, so slap on those headphones, flip all the switches you can find, and settle in for The Star Beast!


  • Podcastica Episode 293: The Celestial Toymaker OR Shal We Play a Game?

    7 November 2023 (1:37pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 28 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    How far will two guys go to learn more about The Toymaker? Will they endure telesnaps and amateur animations? They will! With The Giiggle in our not-to-distant future, it was high time we got to know this immortal craftsman with a penchant for games. So we did our best to watch The Celestial Toymaker (and will likely revisit it when the animated version comes out). We also have a boatload of Who News and the slew of story notes, so grab a drink and get comfortable!


  • Podcastica Episode 292: Planet of Evil OR Welcome to the Jungle

    24 October 2023 (12:35pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 30 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Welcome to the jungle! But there really aren't a lot of fun and games on the furthest charted planet in the universe as something is killing of the crew of a geology ship. As is far too often the case, The Doctor and Sarah Jane are the suspects, but the reality turns out to be far stranger with an anti-matter monster on the loose! That's right, join us on the Planet of Evil where there's an amazing jungle set!


  • Podcastica Episode 291: The Awakening OR A Town Called Malice

    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 56 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This is it, folks! With The Awakening, we've now reviewed every televised 5th Doctor story! And to describe this story as one that doesn't overstay its welcome is fairly apt! It's not a stunner, but it's also not a stinker. And, really, the star of the show is a giant sort of Green Goblin face that looks like it belongs in the Cave Train ride under some blacklights at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! So join us as we don our LARPing outfits and check out The Awakening!


  • Podcastica Episode 290: The Invisible Enemy OR Journey to the Center of The Doctor

    What a difference one story makes! Yes, this time we've gone backward in Season 15 by one story (yeah, our bad) to The Invisible Enemy and holy moly, friends, we loved this adventure! A sentient prawn virus is making plans to propagate not just from person to person, but also through TIME as it looks to take over The Doctor! Can a teeny version of The Doctor and Leela save the day as well as adopt a cute tin dog? You bet they can! So join us for The Invisible Enemy!


  • Podcastica Episode 289: Image of The Fendahl OR The Rider Wait-For-It Tarot Deck

    12 September 2023 (12:39pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 2 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Classic Doctor Who! Doesn't it feel so good to be in that warm, cozy blanket? Well, there might be a few burrs in this specific blanket as Image of The Fendahl rubs us the wrong way in places. On the one hand, we're happy to see Tom Baker and Louise Jameson again, but at the same time there's almost too much going on in this story and it gets kinda dark at times...does things we're honestly surprised to see on Doctor Who!


  • Podcastica Episode 288: The Wedding of River Song OR The Feel Points

    29 August 2023 (12:40pm GMT)

    Direct Podcast Download

    We did it! We've reached the end of our Summer of Season Six with The Wedding of River Song! And, naturally, it had to go out with a bang! Time is rebelling against itself (and River's efforts to prevent her killing The Doctor), but The Doctor always has one extra trick up his sleeve! So join us as we wrap up this season, take a look at our updated stats, and get excited for some Classic Who next time!

    Direct Podcast Download

    "Closing time! You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!" Actually, wait, no you can stay here! In fact, we'd prefer if you stayed here and listened to our review of the 6th season episode "Closing Time!" Yes, it's James Corden. Yes, the Doctor talks to a baby. Yes, we kind of wonder why we see Amy & Rory at all. But there's also ruminations on what Carpool Karaoke would be like on a Cybership and the power of parenthood to pull you through tough situations!


  • Podcastica Episode 286: The Girl Who Waited OR Amy Pond's Big Adventure

    1 August 2023 (12:45pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 57 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, it's an episode we knew we'd have to tackle eventually. The Girl Who Waited wasn't our favorite episode when it first aired. Over time, it appears that John has softened on it, but Taylor still feels like Moffat is putting Amy and Rory through the wringer any chance he gets. Join us as we process our feelings, talk about some Who News, and (as always) focus on the parts we enjoyed most!


  • Podcastica Episode 285: Night Terrors OR The New 2011 Nissan Tenza

    18 July 2023 (12:36pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 45 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, reviewing Night Terrors led us to an interest debate that we're going to take up closer to Halloween: what's the scariest episode of Doctor Who? Because Taylor definitely thinks this story could take the cake! Between the various tropes. a possible homage to Poltergeist, the transition to Peg Doll effects, and lots of spooky directorial choices...Night Terrors definitely rates high on the Behind the Couch scale!

    This week we watched The Almost People and realize that we probably should have watched it alongside The Rebel Flesh from last time. Sometimes the weight of having a massive reveal at the end (that doesn't impact the current episode) leads to an unbalanced storyline. And given a bit of the body horror present in this story, we wonder if the magical healing properties of the TARDIS are played a little too much toward the end. Regardless, we always find the bits we like most and try to focus on those!

    Maybe we need to start calling this our Summer of Season Six as we continue to march through this era of Doctor Who. This week we watched The Rebel Flesh in which The Doctor, while trying to help folks through a solar tsunami accidentally gives that extra spark of life to programmable flesh and a whole slew of Spiderman pointing at himself memes ensue!

    It's the episode we swore we'd already reviewed (but hadn't)! Our tour of Season 6 continues with The Doctor's Wife! Spoilers: we loved this story! And it absolutely holds up almost 12 years later. Granted, there are a couple things that still had us wondering, but it didn't detract from our enjoyment of meeting Idris and trying to outwit House! So sit back and enjoy (no biting!).

    We keep that Season 6 train a'rollin friends with The Curse of The Black Spot! Flimsy pirate metaphors aside, we really enjoyed this episode, especially coming back to it basically knowing how it plays out and picking up on the cues and the story's own rules. Lots of great banter! Smith's ability to rattle off technobabble is without equal here! So swash those buckles and let's get into it!

    Well, we couldn't leave last episode's cliffhanger alone and so we dove into DAY OF THE MOON with gusto and are loving just how much fun we remembered having with this era of Doctor Who! This time around, Moff leans hard on the horror tropes as The Silence become even more of a menace and Team TARDIS (plus Canton) do their best to defeat them. All that, plus we kick around some new shirt ideas!


  • Episode 278: The Impossible Astronaut OR Who Shot D.R.?

    This week we keep the Moffat train a-rollin' with THE IMPOSSIBLE ASTRONAUT! Yep, the Season Six opener that set the stage for the season's mystery and main story arc. This was peak Modern Who and we recount what fandom was like in this era along with how the show finally did some filming in America. John also thinks the show really has something against hats. This one definitely has some scares and some elements of horror, so be mindful of this one if the youngest viewers are around.

    After The Pandorica Opens...the Pandorica closes...and then opens again because the Doctor is jumping around in time (as he's wont to do) making sure that the cracks in the universe don't consume the whole thing and ensuring that his friends come out alright. Even if that means removing himself from the universe. But is the Doctor ever really gone? Hmm, that's a phrase we usually save for the Master! Anyway, this time we review The Big Bang...and a word of warning to our headphone listeners, Taylor's switched up his mic game this ep and is coming in a little hot. So maybe turn us down a notch or two.
