The Day of the Doctor

For months we have waited and the day has finally arrived. We review the mind blowing experience of watching the 50th anniversary special, both at home and in the theater. SteeMo lived up to his promise of changing things forever and we begin to break down everything that could mean for the future. We also share some listener voicemails, and just genereally geek out over the spectacle that is The Day of the Doctor. Link Dump: 2.4m viewers for simulcast on […]

The Name of the Doctor Commentary

The Doctor has a secret that he will take to his grave. The secret is out, and we are joined by Jeannie from “Tyrion’s Landing” as we complete our commentary rewatch of Series 7B, and discuss “The Name of the Doctor”.

Nightmare in Silver Commentary

We delve into Neil Gaiman’s sophomore attempt at penning for the Doctor and, well, don’t really feel like it’s an upgrade. In this episode, we’re talking “Nightmare in Silver”, and explore the newest cyberman upgrade (complete with one-time-only super speed), a stellar cast, and characters that we want to know more about and are left wanting. Oh yeah…and the obnoxious girl, too. (God, we hate that kid.) Note, too, that there’s a special “addendum” at the end of this episode […]

The Crimson Horror Commentary

Have you ever dipped your finger in melted wax and admired the coating it gives you? Have you ever tried it with your whole body, while under the influence of a prehistoric red slug with giant black gumdrop eyes? This week we are joined once again by listener and fellow Whovian Wil, while we watch “The Crimson Horror” and relive the — well, horror — of Mark Gatiss’ second offering to Series 7B. Listen while Keir tries to draw some good […]

Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS Commentary

We travel deep into the heart of the TARDIS in this week’s commentary.

Hide Commentary

Cold War Commentary

This week we travel back to 1983 and come face to helmet with one of the Doctor’s most familiar classic villains, the Ice Wariors. We enjoy and poke fun at the show, but quickly shut up any time David Warner is on the screen.

Children of Earth: Day Five

It has been a long journey, and at times we all felt like giving up, but we are finally on day five of Torchwood: Children of Earth. Unfortunately, it was one of the hardest hits we’ve taken yet. We discuss the horror of the process laid out by the government, the insidious nature of the 456, and Jack’s “finest” hour. Link Dump: David Tennant interview in GQ A brilliant fan-made new intro turns everyone’s head The Ninth Doctor’s anniversary e-book […]
