Latest Podcast Episodes

After missing out on our September Cultdom meetup we hopefully gather today for our October 2019 meet. Lot's of Doctor Who (and other news) to cover including the sad loss of Terrance Dicks. That's Sunday Oct. 5th at 2 PM EDT Same place TalkShoe Same Show ID 54821 #drwho #scifi #fantasy #culttv #superheroes #podcast

This week, we learn that the mortal enemy of showtunes is capitalism, that the mortal enemy of some Doctor Who fans is fun, and that the mortal enemy of the Doctor has descended upon Depression-Era New York in an exciting new thematic guise. The show must go on, in spite of the Daleks in Manhattan.

Notes and links

The idea of the City as a hostile, inhuman place is found in Fritz Lang’s masterpiece of German expressionist cinema Metropolis (1927) and the terrifying version of 1980 depicted in Just Imagine (1930). Both of these are inspired by the looming monuments of architect Hugh Ferriss’s cityscapes.

On a lighter note, Busby Berkeley choreographed lavish dance number for both Broadway and Hollywood during the era of the earliest move musical. Take a look at some examples here.

Andrew Garfield’s big break wasn’t that superhero film at all: it was his film début, Boy A (2007).

It’s been some time since we did this, so here’s a link to El Sandifer’s discussion of this entire story on TARDIS Eruditorum.

This episode Steve and Sean are joined by guest bartender Stephen Webb of The Coal Hill A/V Club podcast, who chose quote the morsel for them to suck on and ingest: "The Ultimate Foe", the final Sixth Doctor story.

True, it's only two episodes long, but there is so so soooo much to talk about here. Is "The Ultimate Foe" a cacophony of style and celebration? Or is it just an old, dried-up piece of hard candy, dropped on the carpet and covered with hair and ants? Listen in and find out?

This week, we learn that the mortal enemy of showtunes is capitalism, that the mortal enemy of some Doctor Who fans is fun, and that the mortal enemy of the Doctor has descended upon Depression-Era New York in an exciting new thematic guise. The show must go on, in spite of the Daleks in Manhattan.

Notes and links

The idea of the City as a hostile, inhuman place is found in Fritz Lang’s masterpiece of German expressionist cinema Metropolis (1927) and the terrifying version of 1980 depicted in Just Imagine (1930). Both of these are inspired by the looming monuments of architect Hugh Ferriss’s cityscapes.

On a lighter note, Busby Berkeley choreographed lavish dance number for both Broadway and Hollywood during the era of the earliest move musical. Take a look at some examples here.

Andrew Garfield’s big break wasn’t that superhero film at all: it was his film début, Boy A (2007).

It’s been some time since we did this, so here’s a link to El Sandifer’s discussion of this entire story on TARDIS Eruditorum.

Andy and Derek discuss if being Pope Blocked is the ultimate date destroyer. And, due to illness, two episodes are reviewed this week!

After a visit to a podcast studio that's not quite right, Giles, Paul and Richard discuss two stories with half man, half bull creatures - The Horns of Nimon and The God  Complex. It's a treat for Richard, as it's the first time he's ever seen Horns, almost 40 years after he unaccountably failed to watch its broadcast. As well as determining that there's a lot more in common between these stories than you'd think, the team manage to discuss faith, Brexit (again) and Animal Kwackers.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and the closing music is the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme from Richard on ukulele and kazoo.
