| 28 Nov 2022 | E5 – (BONES CRUNCHING) | 01:43:29 | |
We've got another flesh-related Eleventh Doctor episode! It's series 5 episode 5, "Flesh and Stone", featuring the famous Weeping Angels we've all heard so much about! This is a beloved episode, but will we belove it? Also, will Sam be able to make heads or tails of River Song? Maybe! Don't tell us either way! | |||
| 13 Mar 2023 | E18 – Auto-Comedic Asphyxiation | 02:05:29 | |
The RNG decided (correctly) that we needed a break from the Chibnall Era, so we got as far away as we possibly could and watched S1E1, "Rose"! This week, we're joined by friend of the show Grant AKA Ironicus who comes to us with the research this show deserves. We're digging deep into prose, or a book as some might call it, and learning how Funny Rusty himself feels about his first episode of Doctor Who. If you ask us, he should feel pretty good about it... except for that pesky coffee table! What were they thinking?! | |||
| 22 Dec 2023 | E48 – H.A.G.S. | 02:00:59 | |
We're back from break to talk about series 9 episode 12, "Hell Bent"! Christmas is almost here, so the RNG gave us a break from Christmas specials, which is nice. A bird-involved incident has occurred and the Doctor became twisted about it. Will he be able to do a coup big enough to justify the Crisp Chipnall type numbers of years he spent in a pre-prison prison coin? Well, let's just say, "years are where time goes when it's long." You know what I mean? | |||
| 13 Oct 2023 | E43 – Good Acting City | 01:38:52 | |
We're heading to Cardiff, for the first time but not for the first time, in series 1 episode 11, "Boom Town"! It's our first time officially meeting one of the funny green farting killer aliens on the podcast, and we're getting to know her over a romantic dinner. Meanwhile, Mickey gets a medal or two, Rose gets sad, Jack (Harkness) does something. One of the better episodes of Doctor Who! The reviews were wrong, as usual! | |||
| 05 Apr 2024 | E58 – I Hope I Never Get Mary'd | 01:05:36 | |
We wished for a good episode last week, and a blue guy gave us season 2 episode 20, "What Is and What Should Never Be"! Depending on who you ask, our wish may or may not have been granted! This is one of those "what if you were in an alternate reality where everything seemed good but there was a twist" stories... with a twist! We recommend enjoying this episode in your local ruins. | |||
| 05 Jul 2024 | E63 – Slider of the Week | 01:29:36 | |
Join us once again in the land of headcrabs and Santa as we discuss series 9 episode 1, "The Magician's Apprentice"! It's one of Steven's famous Words Episodes, and the Doctor is barely in it. It's mainly about Clara going on a field trip with Missy and what would that be like? They still haven't confirmed that this is a headcrab dream but it definitely is. You're not tricking us, Steven! | |||
| 12 Jul 2024 | E64 – Armor Darmin the Armored Dhar Mann | 01:36:09 | |
At long last, we're getting an answer to a question that goes all the way back to our second episode: "who is the eyepatch lady?" As it turns out, she's a woman with an eyepatch-looking thing! This is basically the only thing we learned from series 6 episode 7, "A Good Man Goes to War"! Other than that, it's mostly a lot of words spoken by the man who speaks the words of the writer who writes... for they say that when the speaking man speaks the words written by the writer who writes, the speaker becomes the speakest. | |||
| 28 Jun 2024 | E62 – Cyberman Is the Name of the Doctor | 01:23:20 | |
We're back with the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost episode of all time, series 12 episode 8, "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"! In multiple ways, this is an episode about spreading misinformation about the writing of Frankenstein. Who did it better, Maxine Alderton or Jordan? Please don't @ us. Forget about these writers though, the real star of the show this week is our imaginary version of Graham! What an absolute belter! | |||
| 13 Feb 2023 | E14 – I Freaking Love Science | 01:41:30 | |
Great news for scienceheads! Friend of the show Chai has joined us to talk about series 12 episode 4, "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror"! It's an episode that was very much written in the era of Nikola Tesla fandom, and we all have some opinions about that, except for Sam who is just smiling and nodding. We all learned a lot this week, and some of it was even about Nikola Tesla. Hey, maybe you'll learn something too! | |||
| 20 Oct 2023 | E44 – Absence Makes the Legs Grow Longer | 01:52:40 | |
Finally, another Christmas special! We're getting festive once again with 2014's "Last Christmas", in which the Twelfth Doctor and Clara meet Santa Claus... or do they? Or don't they? Or do they? Steven Moffat watched Inception and Alien back-to-back one night and wrote this episode. It's got some cool ideas, and some jokes and lines that are so funny and cool that we get to hear them over and over! Elfism LOL xD | |||
| 21 Nov 2022 | E4 – Dipsy Has the Kompromat | 01:38:27 | |
Big episode this week! The random number generator has sent us to our first David Tennant episode, series 2 episode 12, "Army of Ghosts"! We've got Cybermen, we've got Daleks, we've got Torchwood, we've got EastEnders... we've even got "allons-y, Alonso!" So many firsts, and that's not even mentioning the first ever ghost elected to Parliament! Way to go, Leeds! The UK is having an awesome week! | |||
| 02 Jan 2023 | E10 – A Bloke Who Flosses | 01:34:41 | |
We've had some good luck for our first episode of 2023: this week, we watched series 1 episode 10, "The Doctor Dances"! It's our first Ecclesode, and it's a great one! For reasons we will learn when we eventually watch the previous episode, the Doctor and friends are in 1941, surrounded by the Gas Mask Gang. How are they going to get out of this one? Will he crank that Soulja Boy? No spoilers here, but let's just say this episode has a very happy ending! | |||
| 05 Dec 2022 | E6 – Yippee Ki-Yay, Funny Robots | 01:47:30 | |
This week, on a very sticky episode of Doctor Huh, we watched series 11 episode 10, "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos"! It's our second encounter with the Thirteenth Doctor, and we were told by the foolish TV reviewers of 2018 that we wouldn't like it very much. How wrong they were! That's right, we've got a surprise hit on our hands! Maybe it's not good when you're watching normally, but that's none of our business. | |||
| 24 May 2024 | E60 – The Jack Harkness Memorial War 1 | 01:29:15 | |
Somehow, the Master has returned. How did he fall out of the Harmony Hole? Maybe that question will be answered in series 3 episode 11, "Utopia"! Jack (Harkness) is back (barkness) and we're taking him on a trip to the most distant future except the other most distant futures we've already been to. It's a world of sharp teeth, rocks, and night time. Martha is here too. Will the Doctor finally forgive Jack for something or whatever? Chan will Chantho confess her love to Professor Yana tho? And the question we've all been asking since today: what does Professor Yana's name mean? | |||
| 03 Jul 2023 | E31 – Blurse Our Wedding | 01:38:17 | |
We've got a good one this week! Series 11 episode 6, "Demons of the Punjab", an episode that dares to ask, "what if Yaz got to be the main character?" Well, not really, but almost! The Tardis Team(?!?!) are going back to 1947, moments before the announcement of the Partition of India, to investigate the mystery of her grandma's watch that we saw that one time. Just who are the titular demons? The answer may surprise you! | |||
| 20 Mar 2023 | E19 – Lady Clara de Oswald | 01:55:29 | |
We had a great time last week, so the RNG decided to pull us back into the Annoying Era with the series 7 Christmas special, "The Snowmen"! Last time we saw Clara, we felt like she was an annoying fanfic character cut out and pasted into the real show Doctor Who. How will we feel now that we're meeting her properly in her first episode? Well... turns out we're very insightful and never wrong about anything! | |||
| 02 Aug 2024 | E65 – War of the Sontarans | 01:23:00 | |
We'd been feeling a little lost in Flux, but thankfully this week we're watching series 13 episode 1, "The Halloween Apocalypse"! This is where it all began, so we'll finally have all the context we've been missing. Just who are Swarm and Azure Ravagers? Does a mysterious Hat Man live on Mars, or in Liverpool? How many Sontarans does it take to control a sector? Is Bel the Doctor's mom or whatever? Thankfully, at least one of these questions is finally answered. For the others, we'll get them next time I'm sure! | |||
| 12 Dec 2022 | E7 – Saluting and Applauding | 02:04:36 | |
Flaming skeletons, rejoice! This week, friend of the show János joins us to discuss the happiest, clappiest, boniest episode of Doctor Who so far, 2009's Easter special, "Planet of the Dead"! The Tenth Doctor is on a bus looking for quirkium particles or whatever when he gets mixed up with an incredibly interesting and popular thief named Lady Christina de Souza! What adventures will her magic backpack hold? Also, we get a very important sounding prophecy about four knocks. We'll find out what's up with that... eventually! | |||
| 26 Dec 2022 | E9 – Triumphant Trumpets | 01:58:38 | |
Have you ever thought to yourself, "man, I wish I could hear two white podcasters try their earnest best to be funny while talking about segregation?" Well, that's weird, but I have exciting news for you, you weirdo: the RNG decided it was time for us to watch Doctor Who series 11 episode 3, "Rosa"! It's not a bad episode, as it turns out! Is it a good episode? Well, that depends on who you ask. I'm sure Kuzco or Crisco or Klasky or Kronko... the villain of the episode would say no, but who cares what the time-traveling racist thinks? We can't even remember his stupid name! | |||
| 15 Sep 2023 | E39 – The Experience of Being Killed Is Not Fun. But, | 01:32:13 | |
Two episodes in a row of Twelfth Doctor and Bill! In series 10 episode 8, "The Lie of the Land", we're getting some big answers, and for once on this podcast it's actually happening when we know what the questions are. Will the Doctor get his sight back after Oxygen? What's in that big scary vault? What's the worst thing the Doctor has done to a companion (so far)? Also, this episode features a special guest: a Monk, silently watching and smiling at our jokes! Same as every other episode! | |||
| 13 Sep 2024 | E67 – Ultimate Warrior vs. Ultimate Pregnancy | 01:42:58 | |
Thank god, finally another weird episode about pregnancy! It's series 11 episode 5, "The Tsuranga Conundrum", and... actually, is it about pregnancy? Is it about an extremist hospital in a bleak future? Is it about parenting? Is it about... Yaz? Definitely not that! This is one of those episodes where way too much is going on. Mostly it's about a guy named Durkas, and what would happen if someone was named Durkas. | |||
| 22 Sep 2023 | E40 – Epic Ricky | 01:32:04 | |
After an agonizing wait of four weeks, we're finally going to learn about the backstory of the series 2 finale! We're heading to Pete's World for series 2 episode 6, "The Age of Steel"! Where did all of those Cybermen come from, anyway? Were any of them Parallel Jackie? We weren't asking these questions, but we'll get the answers. More importantly, we'll find out why Mickey was cool! | |||
| 01 Mar 2024 | E56 – The Trolley Pro(-life)blem | 01:54:14 | |
Well, well, well. At long last, we've found the infamous "pro-life episode" people have been waiting for us to watch. But is series 8 episode 7, "Kill the Moon", truly a pro-life episode, or is the writer simply a clown who shouldn't be allowed to get within 100,000 miles of politics? Yes and no, and yes. Don't let the title fool you, this is an episode about how you shouldn't kill the moon. We can all agree that it would be bad to do that... but what if you thought it was a trolley? What if it wasn't a trolley, but you still thought it was? Would you kill it then? This episode really makes you think, unfortunately. | |||
| 12 Jan 2024 | E50 – United States, Innit | 01:48:13 | |
Bad news for Osgood fans: this week we're watching series 9 episode 7, "The Zygon Invasion", and we have 50% as many Osgoods as the last time we saw her! In a world with 20 million Zygons and only one Osgood, how will Earth remain at peace? It won't! This is one of those episodes that tries to be political and doesn't really think about what it's saying. "You think we should be nice to immigrants?" Of course! "Well, what if they were killer Grimaces from outer space?" No way! "What if they were nice Grimaces but their kids were mean because they were bullied for being British? Still think we should bomb ISIS?" I don't know what we're talking about anymore, sorry! | |||
| 27 Feb 2023 | E16 – Birds in Me Backpack | 01:34:53 | |
Another week in the Backpack Era! We're watching S12E6, "Praxeus", an episode about a killer virus that had the misfortune of coming out right at the start of the pandemic. The team have split up to investigate several exciting locales, some of which are even interesting! Also, there are Unusual Energy Patterns in Hong Kong. What a nice change of pace! | |||
| 17 Apr 2023 | E22 – Mickey's Four-Point Transatlantic Shot | 01:26:57 | |
Our pool of remaining Ecclesodes continues to shrink, as we watch S1E8, "Father's Day"! Oh no! It's an episode that really makes you think about how we should all treasure the limited time we have with the people we care about, in terms of how few Ninth Doctor episodes we have left. Also, we watch Rose's dad get run over a couple of times. Yeowch! | |||
| 08 Mar 2024 | Not Episode 57: Space Madness | 01:03:59 | |
We're taking a sick break this week, so there's no better time to share our Patreon bonus episode from February 2023 on the first two episodes of the Second Doctor serial, "The Seeds of Death"! It's a really weird one that we haven't stopped thinking about since. Did last week's "Kill the Moon" mean to have continuity with this serial from 1969? No idea. If it did, that would be the one good thing about it! | |||
| 23 Jan 2023 | E11 – Please Let Me Do This on Concrete | 01:40:11 | |
We took a quick coronavirus break, but we're back to talk about our first Capaldi episode! It's series 10 episode 3, "Thin Ice"! We ignorant Americans have a lot to learn about British history, it turns out. Did you know people used to run around and wrestle and go bowling and elephanting on a frozen river? That's so dangerous! Don't they know they're going to be fed to a giant fish? People sure were silly back then! | |||
| 05 Jun 2023 | E29 – Freaked-Up White Man | 01:48:51 | |
This week, we're going back to school with series 8 episode 6, "The Caretaker"! The Twelfth Doctor is going deep undercover, which means he's wearing coveralls and holding a mop and telling everyone that he's an alien called the Doctor. Meanwhile, he and Clara's boyfriend Danny are fighting over her love! Sounds annoying, right? Wrong! We liked this episode! Also there was a robot in it at some point! (We're going to be off for a couple weeks, but we will return with an episode that made Jordan scream when the title came up, so look forward to that!) | |||
| 08 May 2023 | E25 – Sexism Resigned! Feminism Coronated! | 01:26:51 | |
On this week's suspiciously timely episode, we swear the RNG selected for us series 2 episode 7, "The Idiot's Lantern"! The Doctor and Rose go back in time to Queen Elizabeth's coronation! It's not really about that though, it's more about how TV kills you. Mark Gatiss is writing this week, but was he thinking? We may never know! | |||
| 20 Feb 2023 | E15 – Ebony Mark'ness Dementia Raven Gatiss | 01:36:16 | |
One of the joys of this format is that every once in a while, the show throws a curveball at us that sounds like a fun time and ends up being a real brainburner. Such is the case with series 8 episode 3, "Robot of Sherwood". On the Doctor Who political compass, this episode is resting comfortably in the square labeled "stupid" and "bad". The characters are across-the-board annoying this week, and the story is totally incoherent. At least it's a fun disaster! | |||
| 30 Aug 2024 | E66 – BLT | 01:09:13 | |
This week, we're discussing series 5 episode 8, "The Hungry Earth"! One of us watched the episode a few weeks ago, and the other was distracted making a sandwich. Anyway, we're fairly sure that we know what happens in this episode. The Doctor declares war on everyone's wives and throws them all into a hole in the ground. Meanwhile, the Silurians debut their new sexual faces! | |||
| 29 Sep 2023 | E41 – When the Turkey Is Done, Evil Will Arrive | 02:14:21 | |
Somehow, we've already completed the Trio of the Doctor! We learned his Name, we enjoyed his Day, and now we will celebrate his Time, in the second of the series 13 specials, "Time of the Doctor"! We're saying goodbye to the Eleventh Doctor forever. How will he die? Wood chipper? Head falling off disease? It's gotta be something festive for the holidays! Also, Steven Moffat is horny for some reason! | |||
| 23 Feb 2024 | E55 – Unga Bunga Reality Well | 01:43:00 | |
Look out! There's a Man coming at you and he's Crooked! You're going to have to series 7 episode 9, "Hide", or he'll get you, or something! We're joined by friend of the show Gabby this week to discuss a spooky scary episode that... maybe... isn't so spooky scary after all? The Eleventh Doctor is here with Clara but he's not trying to kiss her, which is nice. This episode is basically like if you had two balloons, and one of them was the episode and the other was you watching the episode. Does that make sense? | |||
| 11 Aug 2023 | E34 – Early Whittaker Strats | 01:30:07 | |
We've got a 100% success rate on Bill's Gambit so far! This week, we're watching series 10 episode 5, "Oxygen", and it's great! Sometimes this show really tricks you into thinking it's good by being good. Let's enjoy a tense space adventure with not-exactly-zombies and try not to worry about how good or bad the show might be next week. Also, play Hardspace: Shipbreaker! | |||
| 29 Mar 2024 | E57 – Sigma's Ball | 01:45:45 | |
At long last, 57 episodes in, we have finally got ourselves a Donna episode! It's series 4 episode 3, "Planet of the Ood"! As is so often the case on this podcast, we're meeting our new companion one episode 3, so the introductions are out of the way and her role in this one is fairly small. Oh well! Anyway, this is an episode about the King of Slavery. Will he see the error of his ways? Or will he eat spaghetti and drink hair juice until his hair falls off and his spaghetti falls out? | |||
| 01 Apr 2023 | E21 – Twerkings | 01:30:54 | |
Sorry to kill the suspense before you've even listened to the episode, but the RNG has failed us again this week! It decided we should watch S12E7, "Rock Never Dies", and it was wrong about that. They've got a special guest star / rock star this week, and they decided we should spend more time with him than with the main cast. They didn't even make him play guitar! What's the point?! At least we've got a bumbling sicko here to ease our pain by experiencing some of his own. | |||
| 18 Aug 2023 | E35 – The Most Important Wi-Fi Password in the Universe | 01:50:09 | |
Hey, what's going on here? Am I watching an episode of House of the Dragon? No, it's just series 7 episode 6, "The Bells of Saint John"! The Eleventh Doctor is doing some funny monk cosplay and then oops never mind no he isn't. We were all getting excited for a fun time travel story but then he had to go do tech support for Clara. What if people were getting trapped in the Wi-Fi? Would that really be so different from how we live today? Whoa... just kidding, that's not what this episode is about at all. It's literally just about people getting trapped in Wi-Fi! | |||
| 29 May 2023 | E28 – Scoopus and Gallant | 01:35:11 | |
Bad news for fans of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: this week's episode, series 3 episode 7, "42", has absolutely nothing to do with it! Instead, we've got a sweaty assembly of losers on a hot, hot spaceship hurtling into the sun. Fittingly, things get "heated" (ha ha) on the podcast as Jordan inexplicably refuses to hear Sam's very reasonable criticism of the episode. Unfortunately for Jordan, Sam is the one writing this description! Don't worry, most of that is edited out. Good thing we put aside our differences long enough to come up with Scoopus and Gallant! | |||
| 02 Feb 2024 | E52 – Closet Full of Fuses | 01:29:06 | |
We're back from being sick, but will series 2 episode 1, "Love & Monsters", make us sick again? It's an episode a lot of people don't like, and it quickly becomes apparent why: the Doctor's barely in it! Will we find room in our hearts for Elton and his band of weirdos, or will we tile of them? I mean, tire of them. Sorry, I guess I got brain from tiles. I mean, I've got tiles on the brain. I don't know what I'm saying. Enjoy the episode! | |||
| 19 Jan 2024 | E51 – The Sniffer | 01:35:37 | |
It's always a treat when we get to complete a two-parter on this show, and even more so when we get to watch it in order! This isn't one of those times, but we still enjoyed series 5 episode 4, "The Time of Angels!" It was all the way back on our fifth episode that we watched part 2, "Flesh and Stone", and we understand this show a lot better now. Is the Eleventh Doctor always going to be likable? No. Do the Weeping Angels always crunch your bones? No. What's going on with River Song? No. And that's okay! | |||
| 15 May 2023 | E26 – Chekhov's Tac Light | 01:38:45 | |
We're still on the lookout for the fabled Good Clara episodes, but this week we've got a Very Bad Clara episode - but not quite in the way we're used to! In S8E10, "In the Forest of the Night", Clara is actually totally fine, besides one thing she does that is absolutely nuts. Speaking of nuts, there's a massive forest covering the entire planet, and some of the trees have nuts! Well, that's enough episode description writing for today. Enjoy! | |||
| 03 Nov 2023 | E46 – I Remember Hamburger | 01:43:31 | |
Just in time for November, we're deep in the Christmas Era, watching the fourth 2009 special, "The End of Time Part 1"! Donna's Gambit has worked once again, which of course means that she's in the episode for a few seconds. Meanwhile, we're hanging out with her funny grandpa Wilfred, who we love, and who has a gun. We also meet Harold Saxon (a regular guy) and Barack Obama (a Harold Saxon). Basically, this episode is wacky. To quote the Doctor: "it's funny!" | |||
| 20 Sep 2024 | E68 – The Illegal Tritone | 01:28:05 | |
There's a new Doctor in town! This week, we're watching series 14 (I refuse to call it season 1) episode 2, "The Devil's Chord"! The Fifteenth Doctor and his new friend Ruby Sunday the Living Christmas Girl or Something are heading to 1963 to meet the Beatles. What will happen when their music sounds as bad as it does sometimes? How will they cope when they face their toughest foe yet: an actual American actor? | |||
| 31 May 2024 | E61 – Oh, to Be a Midshipman | 01:48:08 | |
Merry Christmas! This episode comes with a festive content warning for fatphobia and suicide, for some reason. It's the 2007 Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned"! Sorry to spoil our opinions before you've even listened, but this is another bad episode for the bad episode books. The Doctor is on the Space Titanic, and... look, it's bad enough that I had to watch it, and talk about it, and listen to it again while I edited this. Now you want me to describe it again here? I'm fed up!! Here's the episode! | |||
| 06 Mar 2023 | E17 – New Year's Dalekin' Eve | 01:44:04 | |
We're stepping out of the Backpack Era - no matter what Jordan says - and into the Episode Directly Before Legend of the Sea Devils Era with the first 2022 special, "Eve of the Daleks"! It's a refreshing reminder that Chris Chibnall really can make a great Doctor Who episode. Maybe there's joy to be found in very very recent Doctor Who after all! Watch this episode a few times and you'll agree. (Also, something went wrong with Jordan's recording and we had to use the worse-sounding backup! Sorry!) | |||
| 19 Dec 2022 | E8 – Let Those Bones Breathe | 01:49:10 | |
Honk, honk! Move it, jerk! I gotta get home so I can watch Doctor Who series 3 episode 3, "Gridlock"! It's an episode like no other. It's got kitty cat men. It's got guns and cars. It's got a crab rave. It's got moods as drugs, for some reason. It's got a big face in a big jar. What more could you want? If you don't love this episode, you must be one daft little street strut! | |||
| 22 May 2023 | E27 – The Hot Guy in the Dalek | 01:35:57 | |
Submarine fans, sink down! We've got ourselves an extremely damp episode of Doctor Who this week: S7E9, "Cold War"! We just can't get away from Mark Gatiss lately, but at least this is some of his better work. We don't like it, but it could've been worse! On our bonus episodes, we've already met some Ice Warriors way back in the Second Doctor era! How will Skaldak skal-stack up? Well, he seems to have cured his Ice Warrior asthma, at least! | |||
| 04 Oct 2024 | E69 – Susan Gubbo and the Wasp | 01:18:22 | |
Buzz, buzz, and things of that nature! This week on our funny numbereth episode (please ignore the part at the end where we both think this is episode 68) we watched series 4 episode 7, "The Unicorn and the Wasp"! It's somehow only our second Donna episode and we enjoy to see her. Agatha Christie is also here, which means this is an episode that accidentally implies that all famous writers are incapable of imagining things and just write about what happens when they meet the Doctor. Oops! | |||
| 27 Oct 2023 | E45 – I Would Go to Church If a Scarecrow Was the Priest | 01:46:25 | |
Jodie's Gambit works at last, and the RNG has sent us back for more Flux with series 13 episode 4, "Village of the Angels"! We've both rewatched "Once, Upon Time" to try to remember what the heck was going on here, and we've got two entire opinions about it. It's classic Flux, in that Yaz fails the Yaz test (doesn't do anything) and Dan fails the Dan test (doesn't kill any Sea Devils). Will the Doctor pass the Doctor test (solve the problem of the week) or will the Angels pass the Angels test ([BONES CRUNCHING])? | |||
| 09 Feb 2024 | E53 – Slime Lovers Rejoice! | 01:56:59 | |
Thanks to our wonderful Patreon subscribers, we get to enjoy a delicious treat this week! We're watching the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie! It's slimy, it's grimy, and Sylvester McCoy is even in it! What else could we ask for? A shocking amount of guns for Doctor Who? Well, it is an American production. Pop up some popcorn, jelly up some jelly babies, and let's savor our time with a very fun Doctor and Master who we'll never see again because nobody cared about this movie when it aired. | |||
| 26 Apr 2024 | E59 – She's Got to Bum Bum Run Away | 01:13:37 | |
We're going back to the very early days to go back to the very late days, in series 1 episode 2, "The End of the World"! It's the episode where the Doctor thinks Rose would like to watch her planet be destroyed, because he liked it so much when it happened to him (which it didn't, but they didn't know that yet.) It's also the episode with Cassandra the Skin Lady, and the Face of Boe, and the Dark Memelords. Look at all these weird aliens! What a great show sometimes. | |||
| 01 May 2023 | E24 – The Singing Man | 01:42:12 | |
We've stepped back an episode after last week's anniversary special for S7E13, "The Name of the Doctor"! Will we learn his name? Will it be something cool, something funny, something sad? Will it win Name of the Year 2013? And just how much of a difference can one episode make in Steven's writing? Also, arguably more importantly, we finally find out what Clara's deal is! Well, that was fast! | |||
| 06 Oct 2023 | E42 – Rory B. Benson | 02:02:01 | |
We're kicking off Doctor Huhloween* with a classic monster movie monster episode: series 5 episode 6, "The Vampires of Venice"! We're coming back to the night that Amy kissed the Eleventh Doctor. How will he react? Embarrassing Rory at his stag party, of course! After that, we're off to 1850 I mean 1580 to meet some vampires I mean fish who burn to death in the sun I mean they don't I mean they do. *Not a real thing | |||
| 14 Nov 2022 | E3 – Boy the Cannons | 01:49:22 | |
Ahoy! Talk Like a Pirate Day came early this year, (or late? I don't know when it is) because this week we're talking about Doctor Who 2022 special #2, "Legend of the Sea Devils"! This is a very recent episode, featuring Jodie Whittakré, as Jordan has decided to call her for some reason. Will the Thirteenth Doctor prove herself an old salt and join our crew of hearties? Or will she be a scurvy dog, scupper our jibs and leave us keelhauling our peg legs? Good thing we had so much time on our last podcast to practice our pirate voices! | |||
| 28 Jul 2023 | E32 – Pronouns in Name | 01:52:09 | |
We're back, finally, watching our first episode of series 9, finally, with a guest, finally! Friend of the Show Roy joins us to discuss series 9 episode 6, "The Woman Who Lived"! What would happen if the Twelfth Doctor gave the gift of immortality to Maisie Williams? What if immortality was not a gift... but a curse? What if you could delay your execution by making dick jokes to a crowd of angry peasants? This episode has a lot of ideas, and a kitty cat man. | |||
| 01 Nov 2024 | E70 – The World's Biggest Apple | 01:48:53 | |
At long last, we will discover the fate of Amy and Rory in series 7 episode 5, "The Angels Take Manhattan"! The angels won't be the only ones weeping after our favorite(?) couple fall into their haunted alien wood chipper! Hopefully our new friend Detective Melody Malone can help solve the mystery of why this episode was set in Manhattan when it features almost no locations, people, or anything identifiably New York! It almost makes you wonder if Steven just had an idea for a particular irrelevant set piece to put in the trailer and then stopped thinking about it! | |||
| 09 Jan 2023 | Not Episode 11: Anthem of Party Rock | 01:12:24 | |
Hey, this isn't our first Twelfth Doctor episode! What the heck? Well, Sam decided to ring in the new year by getting COVID and we haven't been able to record that episode yet. Instead, please enjoy our already-recorded Patreon bonus episode on parts 1 and 2 of Classic Who season 15's first serial, "Horror of Fang Rock"! It's got the Fourth Doctor running up and down a lighthouse for 40 minutes. A lot of people love it! One of us liked it! Hopefully next time we'll love it. Find out in two weeks on patreon.com/PoddingBros! | |||
| 25 Aug 2023 | E36 – Epic Mickey | 01:53:04 | |
We're going back for more How Rose Died! It's series 2 episode 13, "Doomsday", the part 2 of "Army of Ghosts"! The planet is at a critical mass of funny robot guys who want us all dead. We're finally going to learn what that plunger do, which is a real shame for the guy who gets plunged! Turns out Daleks are no joke, despite everything about them. Can the same be said for the Cybermen? We'll leave that to the two factions to decide, in the robo roast battle we didn't know we needed in our lives! | |||
| 07 Nov 2022 | E2 – Ginals and Gangers | 01:40:43 | |
The true Doctor Who experience begins here, I'm told, as we watch our first episode featuring a large amount of goop, glop, slime, and gunge. It's series 6 episode 5, "The Rebel Flesh", and it's a good one! It's a classic sci-fi premise, executed in a cool and creepy way, with relatively okay visual effects. Could this show be... good?! If you could just make the Doctor a little less annoying, maybe this show could have some real cultural staying power! | |||
| 15 Mar 2024 | Also Not Episode 57: Going Out With a Mukbang | 00:59:38 | |
We're not sick anymore, but we are both unable to record this week, so there's no better time to share our Patreon bonus episode from March 2023 on the second two episodes of the Second Doctor serial, "The Seeds of Death"! I'll be honest, I don't remember what happened in this one versus the one we posted last week. At some point, they go to the moon and see Ice Warriors. That's probably in this one! We probably made fun of the Travel-Mat some more! I guess you'll have to listen yourself and let us know! | |||
| 08 Sep 2023 | E38 – Society If Brains Were Dry | 01:45:09 | |
We've got a great episode for you this week! 😀 It's series 10 episode 2, "Smile"! 😀 This is such a fantastic episode, and we truly loved every second of it! 😀 It's got everything you could want: thrills, chills, kills, and some political themes that are as well-executed as the colonists on [checks Tardis Wiki] Gliese 581d! 😀 Magic haddock! Haha! 😀 Please don't hurt us! 😀 | |||
| 24 Apr 2023 | E23 – Make Me Hurt | 02:50:09 | |
It's a big one this week - the episode we watched, and the episode we recorded! On this week's extra-chunky episode, we discussed the 50th anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor", plus the attached mini-episodes, "The Night of the Doctor" and "The Last Day". It's a huge, momentous adventure for the Doctor and the Doctor and the Doctor, with massive implications for the series! Will Steven Moffat rise to the occasion and produce a banger (or a sausage as they call it over there)? Well, no spoilers here, but let's just say Clara didn't annoy us at all this week! | |||
| 26 Jun 2023 | E30 – Very Unique, Steven | 01:43:35 | |
Well! What can we say about series 6 episode 8, "Let's Kill Hitler"? First of all (and I think we all could've guessed this) they didn't do it. It turns out that's only 1% of what this episode is about! Please enjoy this week's episode where we get the answer to a mystery that we had yet to encounter. What an arc! | |||
| 05 Nov 2022 | E1 – The Button That Makes It Good | 01:42:45 | |
Uh oh! Oh no! We're back with a new podcast. Not content with the mostly-forgotten ABC Family dramas we've built our brand on, we've decided to go for one of the biggest franchises around: Doctor Who! Every week, we'll be watching a random episode of (modern) Doctor Who, and we're starting with series 5 episode 2, "The Beast Below"! It's weird, and it's a mess, and the Eleventh Doctor is extremely Tumblr quirky, but we kind of liked it! ...Besides hearing about the Doctor's weird sexual history! | |||
| 01 Sep 2023 | E37 – The Battle of Burlap-on-Straw | 01:50:37 | |
Don't get too excited, blood enjoyers... we may be watching series 3 episode 9, "The Family of Blood", but there's nary a drop to be found here! I guess the BBC weren't too thrilled about having a bunch of children firing machine guns at unarmed men, so they made them into scarecrows instead. They should call this episode "The Family of Straw" if you ask me! Haha! Anyway, this episode is about how Martha deserves better. | |||
| 05 Jan 2024 | E49 – David Tennant Normal Voice Real | 01:10:44 | |
We've broken free (for now) from our recent run of specials, finales, and very big episodes to watch series 2 episode 2, "Tooth and Claw"! Remember like forty episodes ago when we heard that Torchwood was founded because of Queen Victoria and a werewolf? This is that! Between this and the Idiot's Lantern, series 2 sure does love the monarchy! I hope we do too, otherwise this might not end up being our favorite episode of the show! | |||
| 16 Feb 2024 | E54 – I'm Old and I'm on the Moon, Whee! | 01:52:55 | |
We had so much fun watching the Doctor die in a TV movie last week, we decided to do it again with the 2010 New Year's special, "The End of Time Part 2"! We've already seen the first part, so everything should be easy enough to follow, probably. The Master is still hungry, he's still a skeleton, and he's still shooting lightning blasts, and suddenly he's gone. Great! That should give us about twenty minutes for clapping! | |||
| 04 Aug 2023 | E33 – War on God Mountain | 01:23:45 | |
We're heading back to the Satan Pit, and then back a little bit more, to watch series 2 episode 8, "The Impossible Planet"! It's our first time completing a two-parter on this podcast, so it's fitting that it would be the part 1. We'll try our best to be shocked as characters who weren't in part 2 die! We'll also try to forget that the resolution of the Ood is no good. Maybe we're misremembering what happens to all of them in the end! Maybe they're all chilling on Margaritulon 9! | |||
| 06 Feb 2023 | E13 – The Killing Me Computer | 01:32:07 | |
Uh oh... it's time for a devilish episode of Doctor Who... imagine the scariest number you can conceive of, throw it down a hole, and then you will understand the terror of series 2 episode 9, "The Satan Pit"! There's actually two terrors in this episode, and the second one is slavery. Welcome to the podcast, Ood! Sorry they called you a "basic slave race". We'll have to unpack that if we ever watch part one of this story. For now, the only things we're unpacking is all of the helpless Ood when we blast them out the airlock! Hey, why did this science team have a pre-existing name for "let's blast all of our slaves out the airlock"? | |||
| 27 Mar 2023 | E20 – God Blast Ye Merry Gentlemen | 01:33:26 | |
Merry Christmas, again! For the second week in a row, we've got a very special holiday episode. This time, it's the series 2 Christmas special, "The Christmas Invasion"! It's the first Tenth Doctor episode, and he's got a lot to learn about himself, once he's done snoozing. Meanwhile, Earth is being attacked by mostly-irrelevant Santabots and mainly the Sycorax. How will Harriet Jones get us out of this one? She's the prime minister, by the way! | |||
| 30 Jan 2023 | E12 – Nice Dan the Nice Man | 01:37:28 | |
This week's episode sure was an episode! It's our first dose of series 13, "Flux", specifically episode 3, "Once, Upon Time"! Definitely not an episode intended to be watched out of order, but seemingly not an episode that benefits from being watched in order either. It may have been incomprehensible to us, but we'll do our best to make it vaguely comprehensible to you! This episode was truly engineered in a lab to make Jordan angry at every turn. If that sounds good to you, as it does to me, then you're going to have a great time! Time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time | |||
| 10 Nov 2023 | E47 – Asisusasus | 02:09:54 | |
The Christmas Era continues! Friend of the show Gigalithic joins us this week to talk about the 2011 Christmas special, "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe"! This is the episode where Steven decided to do festive gender essentialism for an hour, and not even Bill Bailey can salvage it. On the bright side, at least we invented a new word.
