MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 131 - "The Pyramid at the End of the World"
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 12 secondsMUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 131 talks all about "The Pyramid at the End of the World", written by Peter Harness & Steven Moffat, directed by Daniel Nettheim. It's part 2 of the "Monks" trilogy, and, candidly, it's not our favorite. John and I discuss what worked, what didn't, and the big flaws we each found in the episode. We will go into various theories we have, as well as real world issues that affected the creation of this episode, while holding out hope that Part 3 next week (and Toby Whithouse) can save this story.
There's also discussion of the first batch of guests announced for 2018's Gallifrey One convention - classic stars, new series stars, writers, directors, and annual favorites of us all! Gally may be 9 months away, but we are already eagerly anticipating it!
Of course, there's trivia (7 questions this week), a brief news recap, and a cat named Puncher makes his podcast debut! Please take a listen!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 130 - "Extremis"
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minutes and 21 secondsMUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back, and we're discussing the mind-bending new DOCTOR WHO Episode "Extremis", written by Steven Moffat & directed by Daniel Nettheim (S 10 Ep 06). We will dive into the episode and look at it from every angle we can - both the flashbacks with Missy & Nardole (proxy for River) as well as the main thread of the story with Bill, Nardole, the Pope, Cardinal Angelo, CERN, et al. We pick at the details that tripped us up, potentially, and John gives me a great solution for one of the main troubles I had! We puzzle over how we'd react if we were in such a situation, as well. There's also of course trivia (and a puntastic opening). Plus...
We have new theme music! It's a track called "Ecstasy" from Purple Planet:

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 127 - "Thin Ice"
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 30 secondsMUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back, and we're talking about "Thin Ice", the delightful 3rd episode of Series 10 of DOCTOR WHO, written by the amazing Sarah Dollard! John and I will talk all about Bill's first trip into the past and the lessons she learns from her tutor, the Doctor. This week, she sees some of the hard truths of the life she's embarked upon and has to confront death and suffering in a way she hasn't yet (i.e., as it happens directly in front of her).
While there are many great and serious lines, speeches, and thoughts in this episode, there are just as many funny moments plus the continued great chemistry between Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie. We will rhapsodize over those, as well as giving well-deserved kudos to the costuming and the overall design of the episode, courtesy of Haley Nebauer and Michael Pickwoad, respectively.
It's our favorite episode of the season, and one we both think will continue to delight us for years to come. Quintessential Doctor Who! Please have a listen, won't you?

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 126 - "Smile"
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 23 secondsMUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast returns to discuss "Smile" (by Frank Cottrell Boyce), episode 2 of Series 10 of DOCTOR WHO. John and I talk about Bill's first "official" trip in the TARDIS, and how her first off-world adventure compares to other "first trips" in the modern era (echoes of Rose, Amy, Clara) and what that could portend for the Doctor-Bill relationship as well as the rest of this series. We will go over the plot, noting similarities to many other works, both inside of DOCTOR WHO and outside, and give opinions on how well the story worked for us.
We will also talk Ratings and the New Doctor Rumor Mill, and there's some excellent trivia this week - I'm forced to use "Eagles Math" to get my score over 50%!
Have a listen, won't you?

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 125 - "The Pilot"
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 44 secondsDOCTOR WHO is finally back with SERIES 10! The show returns with a crackling episode called "The Pilot", and that's what we're discussing on this episode of the MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast!
"The Pilot" begins the final series for Peter Capaldi as the Doctor (*CRY*), and it introduces us to the glorious Pearl Mackie as new companion Bill Potts! John and I will discuss Bill's initial meeting with the Doctor and the adventure that ensues. We ponder whether "The Pilot" lives up to its name (in a tv show sense - a first episode) as a good starting point for new viewers. We'll also note a copious amount of Easter Eggs (TIMELY) sprinkled throughout the episode as a treat for returning fans as well as potential clues to how Series 10 will develop. We'll talk about the return of Matt Lucas as Nardole and what role he plays, both within the narrative and from a production perspective.
We will of course dive in to the meat of the episode itself - The Doctor becoming Bill's "tutor" and their relationship; Bill's encounters with Heather which leads to the encounters with the oil (water? Substance?) that ultimately absorbs Heather and sets out after Bill. There's a mysterious vault, some photographs from long ago, of both Bill's mother and of the Doctor's Family (SUSAN & River, but did we mention SUSAN?) and the fate of Heather and whether we will see her again (Magic 8-Ball says, "All signs point to YES").
We will also talk about what the rest of Series 10 may hold and about that TRAILER - John Simm! REGENERATION! That leads into a discussion of the Kris Marshall rumors: IS he the next Doctor? If so, will we see him BEFORE Christmas? Are we being faked out by Moffat et al?
And, TRIVIA is back! John has some excellent and interesting questions as always - I did ok on them - how will you do?
All in all, it's a lot of excited chatter about Doctor Who & "The Pilot". We're excited the show is back, and we love discussing it with each other and hope it's a pleasant listening experience for you! Please try it and see (or should that be hear?)!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 124 - Series 10 Preview
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 23 secondsMUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back, just in time to preview SERIES 10 of DOCTOR WHO (the final Peter Capaldi series, *heavysadness*)! Join John and I as we delve into talking about what we can look for in Series 10 - episode by episode, storyline by storyline. We will talk about the upcoming debut of Pearl Mackie as Bill, and how Bill will fit on the show. We talk about the return of many old foes (including some "surprise" ones that have been revealed to the public already).
We do talk in detail about each episode, so if you like to stay away from knowing too much, be forewarned. But, if you're like us and love to speculate and anticipate, then this will be right up your trap street!
We will also discuss the return of Classic Doctor Who episodes to American streaming as BritBox debuts stateside, and we will discuss the sad passing of a great actor, Tim Pigott-Smith, from the classic era (and one of John's favorite stories, "The Masque of Mandragora"). Trivia will return next week with the episode recaps!
We are VERY excited for Series 10, and we're excited to be back discussing them with each other and with you, dear listener! We hope you enjoy!!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 123 - Talking WHO with Kathleen Schowalter
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 15 secondsMUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast returns with a fun and thought-provoking deep dive into various DOCTOR WHO topics with our good friend Kathleen Schowalter! She's a brilliant PhD, she's a super analytical and thoughtful WHO fan, and she's a delight to talk to! We talk about her WHO "origin story", including: her initial fear of Tom Baker and how her feelings towards him have changed since she got back into WHO fandom in adulthood. We also talk more about how Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey" pertains to Doctor Who and the companions, building from the fascinating panel that she excelled on at Gallifrey One, as well as just which WHO story she feels is the BEST example of that in the WHO canon. We dive into favorite episodes, both classic and new, and she turns the tables on us with some thoughtful questions to John and me about our likes and dislikes in WHO.
We also discuss the news of the return of the ORIGINAL Mondassian Cybermen to Series 10 for the first time in over 50 years since "The Tenth Planet" and how we all feel about their return (spoiler alert, we are almost as excited as Peter Capaldi - LOTS). We discuss the news of British Bookmakers shutting down wagering on the next Doctor after lots of money came in on Kris Marshall, and Kathleen and John help me figure out just who that is! We discuss what we think Chris Chibnall's WHO might look like as well.
It's a really enjoyable and engrossing conversation to have participated in, and we hope listening to it is as pleasurable as recording it was! We're already looking forward to having Kathleen back on the show! Listen and find out why!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 120 - SHERLOCK Series Rankings with Kayti Burt; Capaldi Announces Exit; Sir John Hurt Appreciation
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 1 minutes and 21 secondsIt's a jam-packed and bittersweet edition of the MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast this week! Our friend Kayti Burt joins us to talk all about SHERLOCK, as we discuss her great ranking of the show's episodes, from worst to best, that she did for Collider.com (Link HERE ). We've been trying to have her on for a couple of weeks, and we finally solved our usual tech issues to get her on the podcast! HOWEVER...
In the interim from our original recording date to the actual date, several sad occurrences of various forms have happened:
1. Peter Capaldi has announced that he's leaving DOCTOR WHO after the Christmas 2017 episode (Same time that Steven Moffat departs). We discuss his decision and talk about some of our favorites for #13.
2. Even more sad is the news of the passing of the War Doctor, SIR JOHN HURT. We talk of his significance to all of WHO fandom as well as each of us individually (Especially John, as Sir John in many ways led him into Whovian fandom). We discuss the great privilege that John & I had of meeting him and interacting last year at Gallifrey One.
SO - that leads to a 2 hour episode, but one that I think is one of our very best (and easily broken up into shorter chunks).
As a bonus, you'll hear Sir John himself, doing 2 of WHO's most famous speeches: William Hartnell's farewell to Susan from "Dalek Invasion of Earth" (and "The Five Doctors") AND the 12th Doctor's exquisite speech from "The Zygon Inversion".
PLEASE take a listen. Thanks!!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 119 - SHERLOCK: "The Final Problem"
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 9 secondsCorneal abrasions! Lingering colds! Microphone issues! Travel Delays! And that's just for the podcasters! Also, THE EAST WIND! MUSGRAVE! And, perhaps, our last adventure with Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (for now and for this incarnation)! It's all there as MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast tackles "The Final Problem", the final episode of SHERLOCK'S (FINAL?) season!
This episode generates some strong opinions from us, and we don't view everything as positively as at other times! However, as always, Sherlock episodes make for great fodder for discussion. We talk about the story and about how it fits into the overall narrative of the series, and how it affects everything we've seen previously. We'll contemplate what worked for us, as well as what didn't.
Plus, there's some trivia, and even some REVERSE TRIVIA about the sneaky cameo in the final moments ("Struggle after Struggle, year after year")! Please take a listen!
Remember: WE ARE SOLDIERS TODAY.
(technical note: due to the aforementioned microphone issues, the sound is a little wonky, but still listenable)

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes and 26 secondsSHERLOCK Series 4 continues with "The Lying Detective", and there's SO MUCH for us to discuss!
How are Sherlock and John after the events of last episode? Where do we go from here? HOW CREEPY is Culverton Smith? Has Sherlock finally lost control of, well, everything? Can John find his way back to some semblance of normalcy?
The answer to these questions as well as ALL of the other goings on (no spoilers here, just in case), will be talked about in full on this week's podcast (I took 8 pages of notes!)! Here's a heaping helping of SHERLOCK DISCUSSION as we head towards the close of Series 4 (and the series for the near future?)! Please listen!

Take a listen and find out!
Also, we'll discuss the final episode of "Power of the Daleks"! How did the story wrap up? Was it even darker than we expected? This story made each of us re-evaluate the Daleks; take a listen to find out how our perspectives have changed over the quintessential Doctor Who villains/monsters!

We always love having them on, and this one is especially great (IMHO). It's delightful!
Before we get to Sage & Kim, though, John and I will discuss "Power of the Daleks" episode 2. We'll discuss our thoughts on the episode itself, while also debating pros and cons of the "old school" one episode a week with cliffhangers, slower pacing, etc format. Plus, how is the story matching up with our expectations so far? We talk about all of that.
