    Friends of a Whovian flavor, what in the name of Blinovitch is happening?! For the first time in a very long time, John and Taylor are a bit lost as to having a feel for what's coming next. It could literally be anything, at this rate. So we break from our regular format this week and spend more time looking at the details and speculating ourselves silly trying to figure out where things might be headed next week! SPOILER WARNING! If you want to avoid a little bit of potential spoiler chat, skip from about 1:13:00 to about 1:18:10.

    Microplastics are everywhere! It's true, look it up. Now what if that plastic was infested with an alien virus brought here by aliens using us and the planet as a giant petri dish?

    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 1 second

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week John & Taylor review the 3rd story of Season 12: ORPHAN 55! It's a classic base-under-siege story with some decent twists and a timely message for a world currently burning! This story also has to carry the momentum from the season opener and, honestly, stumbles a little. However, we find the good, try and reconcile the less good, and Taylor takes a moment to get up on his soapbox for all of fandom. Come and listen! Share with friends! Rate & review! Then go sit and have a cocktail.

    2019 is nearly at a close. Christmas is on the horizon, so John and Taylor settle in by the fire to review the animated recreation of The Macra Terror! Incidentally, BBC America is showing this story on the evening of December 26th if you've never seen it!

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, we thought we'd hit bottom all those years ago with Sleep No More and The Twin Dilemma and probably some others. But if there's one thing we tend to be good at, it's finding the good (or at least the decent) in a story that is otherwise lacking. And we do our best with that for TIMELASH, a 6th Doctor two-parter that has been called the worst story of Doctor Who. Thankfully, we also have a ton of new Season 12 news and Gallifrey One announcements to distract us. Check the show notes for all the goodness and make to share us with friends. A rate and a review wherever you consume podcasts would be greatly appreciated!


  • Episode 165: Battlefield OR Motherflippin Space Knights

    19 November 2019 (2:06pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 24 minutes and 42 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week it's war!! John & Taylor review the 7th Doctor story BATTLEFIELD! It's been described as a moody neo-Arthurian tale and we pack all our thoughts (and they are many) into 80 minutes of Doctor Who goodness. Turns out Arthur all his lot are all from a parallel dimension where magic is as real as science. Ace gets tossed from a lake complete with sword (we welcome our new explosives expert overlord), the Brig makes a triumphant comeback, and the Doctor is actually (eventually?) Merlin! Come listen in and be sure to share it with friends!


  • Episode 164: The Brain of Morbius OR Let the Brains Hit the Floor

    5 November 2019 (9:26pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 57 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    It was a dark and stormy night when The Doctor and Sarah Jane land on Karn...and fall right into quite the homage to Frankenstein. Heralded by some, maligned by others, you can't deny the place that THE BRAIN OF MORBIUS holds in Doctor Who history! The adventure is surprisingly tight, the performances just over the top enough to be peak Doctor Who, and really without this story there are more than a few things in modern Doctor Who lore we would not have! Come listen, share with friends, and be sure to rate and review!


  • Episode 163: Black Orchid OR A Bit of a Sticky Wicket

    22 October 2019 (1:18pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 3 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Every now and then Doctor Who tries something new, something a little different. At times it works and at times it doesn't. Black Orchid was Doctor Who's attempt at a classic British murder mystery. It was a notable effort, but the execute may have left a little to be desired. John & Taylor come at the story from different points of view and ultimately make as much sense as they can of it. Grab your potting soil, your old timey drinks, and settle in for our review of Black Orchid!

    Direct Podcast Download

    John and Taylor start off this spooky season with the Matt Smith/Jenna Coleman story "Hide!" What exactly lurks in the hall of Caliburn Hall? And does it imply that the spirits we see are ghosts or are they echos contained within the walls of a location? Or are they people trapped in a pocket universe! We geek out over this and some of our favorite paranormal theories! Join us! Share us with friends and please rate and review us!


  • Episode 17: The Caves of Androzani OR How to Milk a Bat in 3 Easy Steps

    Direct Podcast Download

    John and Taylor (sadly, minus Lauren) are back to collect their final piece in their own Key to Time saga! They revisit and recapture their review of The Caves of Androzani! Peter Davison's final story and what many call the best Doctor Who story ever. We discuss many of the Shakespearean and Phantom of the Opera nods, the troubles with giant bats, and how none of this would have happened if they hadn't gone to Androzani Minor. Join us, won't you?


  • Episode 16: The TV Movie OR That's What I Call Doctor Who 1996

    12 September 2019 (1:07pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 8 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    If there's one thing we're good at doing on Podcastica, it's taking a story we don't really love and either finding the best parts of it or just have a good time taking apart its worst bits. For everything the Doctor Who TV Movie eventually gave us, it really wasn't all that great! So John & Taylor endured it again to reclaim this lost episode, but they brought Lauren along for the ride (and she's seeing it for the first time)! Grab your shades and climb on into the ambulance for the ride of a lifetime!


  • Episode 14: Blink OR Missing 411 London Edition

    Direct Podcast Download

    This episode replaces our original Episode 14, which was lost to time when the Weeping Angels got hold of it! This time, John & Taylor are joined by Lauren Bancroft to review one of the most solid, well-written, and best executed episodes in Doctor Who history! We try to find fault. We try to reason in some plot holes, but at best we get one. Blink's praise is well-deserved and we revel in it. We also discuss some exciting experiences in our own lives and devise a possible future episode idea. Come relive the excitement of meeting the Angels for the first time!


  • Episode 15: Last Christmas OR It's a Long Story

    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 13 minutes and 25 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    John and Taylor are joined by Lauren Bancroft as they set off on an adventure to recreate their missing episodes! First up, Episode 15: Last Christmas! The Doctor and Clara find themselves in a dream...which is a dream...inside a dreamworld of dreams...which is not so much adjacent to, but rather inside a dream. And this dream is run by facehugging dream crabs that themselves have rather gingerly skirted copyright infringement from the Alien franchise and are busy treating their subjects as tasty cherry brain slurpees. So it’s up to them to find a way to escape from this dream-ception and figure out if the tangerine is still spinning or has fallen over.

    We'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!

    We are nearly through The Key to Time series! This time, John & Taylor review The Power of Kroll and find themselves an absolute banger! Not the story, though it's rather enjoyable, but that Kroll chant! They desperately want to find a fan who is comfortable creating beats and who is will to help us craft a dancefloor jam to honor Kroll! We have lots more to say, so grab your green paint, settle in, and press play!

    Direct Podcast Download

    We're into the back half of the Key to Time series and this time John & Taylor find that, on the whole, the series stumbles a little with The Androids of Tara. There are some good parts, certainly, but there is also much that our duo wonder "Why'd they do it that way?" Either way, they find the best bits and suggest changes to improve the rest! Come check it out, please subscribe & rate the show, and listen to the end to see if you can help us on a quest!

    Aggrocrags return! John & Taylor continue their review of the entire Key to Time series with The Stones of Blood! We already loved the two stories before this and Stones only builds on what could be considered peak Classic Who! The hunt for the Key to Time takes the Doctor and Romana to Earth where everybody must get stooooned! And by stoned we mean, devoured by living stone from an alien planet that’s being controlled by a villainous woman from another planet who’s masquerading as a geologist’s assistant. Oh, and eventually justice sparkles from hyperspace...glittering in hyperspace...arrive to debate legal theory!

    We've nearly finished watching the final stories of all the Doctors (only the epic The War Games remains), but this time we witness the debut of the Cybermen and departure of the First Doctor with The Tenth Planet!

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

    London 1941! There’s a war on, there’s a con on, and someone’s looking for his mum.

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?

    20 March 2019 (1:25pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 6 minutes and 33 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    The 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!

    At 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.

    Dalekmania 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!

    Through the Doctor's own actions, she sets into a motion a complete crisis of faith amongst a generation of Ux that leads to a 3407 year reign of terror by a former foe over anyone who'd previously wronged him. 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?

    For 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.
