Episode #62: "Where All Da Time Lord Chicks At?"

It's time for Doctor Who: the Movie. No, not the McGann TV special. No, not the proposed 2012 project. Not even the Cushing films. But the first, most epic serial, so cinematic and sweeping in scope that it truly deserves the title- a story so amazing and vast that it could have played on the cinema screens. Yes, that's right... it's The Deadly Assassin. (Those crickets you hear chirping are not an indication of an audience bored to tears, we hope- just an artifact of having our windows open. Sorry!) Plus, a major battle of the sexes!

Episode #61: "Back to the Beginning...Almost"

Another hour-long extravaganza- this time with crickets! After a recent re-watch, Andrew and Sarah revisit Waters of Mars... and episode 4 of the podcast, examining what has changed and what has stayed the same, plus imaginary motorcycles and ANOTHER discourse on Tennant and RTD- but Sarah starts it this time!

Episode #60: "Jagra...fesh?"

No, we're not doing The Long Game again, we... well, yes we are, kinda. Sarah and Andrew tackle an unnamed new feature, as we re-imagine a new series story as it might have appeared across the spectrum of Doctor Who eras...

Episode #59: "Wait... It Actually ISN'T Kevin???"

Sarah and Andrew revisit the Pertwee classic Terror of the Autons, and probably tick off a lot of Troughton/Hines and Baker/Sladen fans in the process. Jo Grant, the nature of the Master, Time Lord ruminations- and we discuss the trend of substituting actor names for Doctors. You know you do it too...

Episode #58: "It Should've Ended Sooner"

Sarah and Andrew do a semi-commentary on Journey's End, and discuss the foibles of Davies, Rose, the infamous 2-parter, and everything. The battle of ideologies simmering for 58 episodes comes to an end in one showdown even more epic than the story we're recapping tries to be. Andrew talks a lot. Sarah talks a little. Andrew says "You know what I'm saying?" far too many times. And Sarah, methinks, begins to fall for Davies' sappy story charms... Could Journey's End's reviled end have a DEFENDER...? And perhaps the issue of Rose will be settled once and for all...
NOTE: Appologies for intermittent 'hiccups' in this and the next show; we had a few recording issues.

Episode #57: "The Report Card"

Part 2 of 2; Andrew and Sarah touch on their reactions to the series finale, and then overview Series 7b and Moffat's tenure as a whole; how do we feel about everything in retrospect? How was the resolution to the mystery? What are we looking toward in the future? And with so very much to talk about, how could it be less than an hour?
(Note: This was recorded just after Name of the Doctor aired, and was held back until now due to real-life issues going on with us lately. This explains our naive optimism about Matt Smith's ongoing tenure; the announcement hadn't yet been made.)

Episode #56: "Dis on Kevin"

Sarah and Andrew confess their ships and argue about the division of seasons as they dive into this combo 'Nightmare in Silver' review and response/speculation about the reception  of Series 7b thus far. Please pardon all of the coughing; it's allergy season. Part 1 of 2, to be followed up next week...
