The Lies the Blind (HOT TAKE: “Lucky Day”) 38:22

4d ago38:22

38:22

It's a Lucky Day… or is it? Is this a bold stand for truth in the age of misinformation, or an unsubtle lecture about trusting the deep state? Can conspiracy theorists exist in a world where UNIT is canon? And what’s the deal with Conrad’s podcast? From shrieks to lip gloss, Mrs. Flood to memory worms, we unpack all the continuity—and the politics.…

Heavy Meta (HOT TAKE: “Lux”) 40:28

18d ago40:28

40:28

RTD just gave us Alan Cumming as a cartoon god named Mr. Ring-a-Ding, and that’s not even the weirdest part of “Lux.” This episode has 2D-animated monsters, film reel body horror, meta commentary on fandom, and the Doctor using regeneration energy to treat a boo-boo. Pete and Chris are here to unwrap it all — from Mrs. Flood’s nuclear foreboding to…

Day of the Nurse (HOT TAKE: "The Robot Revolution") 46:32

25d ago46:32

46:32

It's the future, and your star registry gift just triggered a robotic uprising. Welcome to Doctor Who: The Robot Revolution, where RTD goes hard on visuals, soft on substance, and maybe too far on consent. The Pull To Open crew picks apart everything from glitchy AI metaphors to Belinda Chandra’s underbaked debut — and Pete almost expected a Robots…

Invade for TV (Discharging “Aliens of London and World War Three”) 1:38:49

1M ago1:38:49

1:38:49

Say it with us now: it’s not just Slitheen fart jokes. Aliens of London/World War Three is the Ecclestone-Piper powerhouse that firmly established how NuWho would grow beyond the old-school kind of Earth invasion. It would be smart, twisty, full of “real” fake media and political references. It would stuff the Prime Minister in a closet. And it wou…

The Reich Stuff (Vivisecting “The Sontaran Experiment”) 1:31:48

1M ago1:31:48

1:31:48

Sontar-what now? An odd little two-parter squished between two titanic Tom Baker classics, The Sontaran Experiment manages to downgrade its clone army villain — with a flimsy mask that makes him look more like a bald white dude amid a bunch of South African “colonials”, plus evil experiments that … don’t seem very science-y? We had fun concocting t…

The Companion Falls (Impacting “Earthshock”) 1:38:41

2M ago1:38:41

1:38:41

Adric’s fate, an unexpected "asteroid," and the triumphant return of the Cybermen—Earthshock is the definitive Doctor Who game-changer. From its big-budget action sequences to its brutal emotional gut punches, this Davison classic gave us one of the show’s most shocking cliffhangers and its most heart-wrenching companion exit. But does all the spec…

Breaking Dad (Reliving “Father’s Day”) 1:33:27

2M ago1:33:27

1:33:27

When Doctor Who returned in 2005, timey-wimey twists like Rose saving her dad in Father’s Day had rarely been seen on screen. But one entire Moffat era later, audiences are more sophisticated. So how does this small-scale Tyler tale land 20 years later? Do we still fear the Reapers? Grab your chunky carphone and make it to the church on time as we …

Electric Screams (Shipwrecking “Horror of Fang Rock”) 1:36:36

3M ago1:36:36

1:36:36

Just this once, Leela … everybody dies! Horror of Fang Rock may be a kind of bottle episode (well, a tall bottle with a big electric light on top), but no Doctor Who story has a higher percentage of guest cast killed. And with this bunch of refugees from an Agatha Christie play, who wouldn’t be rooting for a Rutan to off ’em? Join us as we peer int…

Slave New World (Liberating “Planet of the Ood”) 1:19:51

3M ago1:19:51

1:19:51

How do the Ood serve Doctor Who? Are they more interesting as harbingers of doom, pawns of the literal devil, or rabid victims of capitalist greed? Planet of the Ood takes the latter approach, and the result is a tale so dark even Donna Noble can’t lighten it up. Still, she (and we) can at least get on the Doctor’s case for his heavy-handed analogi…

Mazed and Confused (Mythologizing “The Horns of Nimon”) 1:24:37

4M ago1:24:37

1:24:37

Time waits for Nimon! Well, time waits for someone to appreciate The Horns of Nimon — the unintended finale to one of the greatest seasons of Doctor Who. With its drunk ballet bulls and a villain on a strict scenery diet, this could be a comedy classic. Or a triumph for Romana and her superior sonic. But is it? Dare to enter the labyrinth with us a…

Lord & Lady (Burglarizing “Planet of the Dead”) 1:29:37

4M ago1:29:37

1:29:37

A London bus, a mysterious wormhole, and a desert planet teeming with metal stingrays — Planet of the Dead boasts a hearty list of tasty Doctor Who plot ingredients even before you mix in a flirty almost-companion. David Tennant’s Doctor teams up with the aristocratic jewel thief Lady Christina de Souza in this slick, blockbuster-style Easter speci…

A Star Is Born (HOT TAKE: “Joy to the World”) 40:58

4M ago40:58

40:58

Good God, what is happening in Joy to the World, possibly the most time-wimey Doctor Who Christmas special to date. We’d expect nothing less from Steven Moffat, who stuffs a dinosaur, a bootstrap paradox, and a multi-Doctor story all into a holiday meal that’s anything but a turkey. You might want to dress yourself in several layers just to keep up…

A Wrinkle in Flesh Time (Enlightening “Four to Doomsday”) 1:27:04

5M ago1:27:04

1:27:04

There's bad Doctor Who that makes you ROFL. There's bad Doctor Who that just leaves you baffled. And sometimes, if you're lucky, you find both in one story. Four to Doomsday, Peter Davison's first dip in the Who pool, was a tale of two reactions for Team PTO. Good thing the political angles (incel Adric, anyone?) were so outnumbered by hilarious/du…

Nonrapid Transit (Jackknifing “Gridlock”) 1:27:21

5M ago1:27:21

1:27:21

“Stuck in traffic for ages” may be the most mundane sci-fi concept Doctor Who has ever offered. Yet Gridlock shines through the smog, even though we have to wonder why they don’t have smog-free EVs in the year five billion. How did RTD do it? Three words: great artists steal. Even when they’re stealing from the galaxy’s greatest comic, 2000AD. Join…

Get Back (Reversing “The Edge of Destruction”) 1:34:28

6M ago1:34:28

1:34:28

In a sense, Doctor Who delivered its scariest story ever on its third outing. There’s something truly unsettling about The Edge of Destruction, especially in our unsettled times. The show seems to be tearing itself apart, annihilating dialogue, turning viewers against Ian, Susan and the Doctor (but blessedly not Barbara) when we’ve barely got to kn…

1
Axis of Medieval (Besieging “The Time Warrior”) 1:28:20

6M ago1:28:20

1:28:20

Did New Who start in 2005 … or 1973? The Time Warrior fell from the stars with a surprising number of firsts for a show in its 11th year: not just the first Sontaran, but the debut of Sarah-Jane Smith, the diamond logo, the time tunnel, and a planet called (checks notes) Gallifrey. But that’s not all: Robert Holmes’ script brings a Moffat-y level o…

Repeater Capaldi (Confessing “Heaven Sent”) 1:44:13

6M ago1:44:13

1:44:13

If we didn’t know better, we’d say we’ve been waiting to talk about this Peter Capaldi episode for 7,000 years. Or is it two billion? Time seems to drag when you’re punching a wall made of random Doctor Who. Heaven Sent was an instant classic, but is this piece of clockwork perfection also the best story ever? We confess, we’re not sure. Good thing…

Better Call Thal (Refrigerating “Planet of the Daleks”) 1:32:17

7M ago1:32:17

1:32:17

Destination: not Skaro! “The Planet* of the Daleks” is Terry Nation’s anniversary rewrite of the classic Hartnell tale that kickstarted Doctor Who. It’s “The Daleks” in color, decades before the BBC colorized “The Daleks.” But did those weird blond Thal heroes really jive with Jo Grant and the whole groovy Pertwee era? And what’s up with the invisi…

Forgotten Realm (Rectifying “The Girl Who Waited”) 1:25:42

8M ago1:25:42

1:25:42

Just how dangerous is traveling with the Doctor? It’s a fair question after revisiting The Girl Who Waited, which looks surprisingly dark 13 years after it aired — especially now that many who watched it back then are now closer in age to older Amy Pond. Join us as we ponder: Did this “Doctor Lite” episode portray Matt Smith as excessively cowardly…

Island Time (Cast Interviews from Long Island Who) 2:18:17

2:18:17

We shared a long, hot summer with Doctor Who, and we couldn't think of a better way to close it out than getting our TARDIS on at the 2024 Long Island Who convention! Blessedly, we were able to interview several people involved with the show — both actors and people behind the scenes — and we coaxed some original thoughts out of them. We also got a…

Burning a New Leaf (Mulching “Terror of the Vervoids”) 1:31:54

9M ago1:31:54

1:31:54

Terror of the Vervoids isn’t exactly the greatest Doctor Who story ever. Those plant-based villains were just … weird. But this bizarre aria from Colin Baker’s long swan song is now surprisingly relevant to the age of Ncuti. Why does Mel just appear out of nowhere? Is the Doctor just allowed to browse his future, or is there something more sinister…

Quotes Brian Magerko “We're really trying to show that we could co-create experiences with AI technology that augmented our experience rather than served as something to replace us in creative act”. “For every project like [LuminAI], there's a thousand companies out there just trying to do their best to get our money... That's an uncomfortable plac…

Some Like It Scot (Reconstituting “Terror of the Zygons”) 1:33:38

9M ago1:33:38

1:33:38

Och aye the noo, it’s Scottish stereotype Who! Terror of the Zygons, written by an actual Scot, really packs them in: bagpipes, kilts, haggis, Nessie, North Sea oil, and monsters who look like they’ve eaten too many deep-fried Mars bars. It’s stylish, it’s suggestive, but does it hold up against 21st century Zygon yarns? Did we really have to lose …

Better With Two (Trimming “Partners in Crime") 1:24:29

10M ago1:24:29

1:24:29

We’d say Partners in Crime is the long-awaited rebirth of one of the best TARDIS teams ever, but that sounds way too dramatic for the Doctor and Donna. After all, they’re just a couple of mates mucking about in time and space, helping out where they can, and having a few laughs, right? Emphasis on that last part: the kickoff to David Tennant’s fina…

1:30:40

It’s all been leading to this: The Key to Time season promised a big payoff, one that would assemble the most powerful artifact in the universe and put the Doctor in the middle of a cosmic conflict between the Guardians (well before they had silly birds on their heads). But with the stakes so high, why are we spending so much time pondering princes…
