- 243: Elon Musk’s New “Innovation” (Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)
How many things has Elon invented now?
Trust Your Doctor is a complex beast. We record in an office so sparse and huge it’s comparable to the TARDIS itself. We even have a whole room just singularly dedicated to cotton candy. Like. It’s just walls and walls of cotton candy machines. That’s all that’s in there. This is a 100% true fact. It’s Journey to the Center of the TARDIS, written by Steve Thompson and aired on April 20, 2013.

Nooo, not the floral print, please, not the floral print!
The other day we were recording the podcast and then suddenly discovered that our recording studio is haunted. We’re currently being haunted by our great-great-great-great-grandchildren. Weirdly enough they’re still doing a podcast that far in the future. If you all wanted to know when Doctor Who would end, I can tell you it doesn’t end before our descendants get their grubby hands all over our podcast. It’s Hide, written by Neil Cross and aired on April 20, 2013.
Show-notes:

Well this is the biggest plot twist of our lifetime.
Last time we got stuck in a cave we were forced to start a podcast, and that’s how we got Zenith. Frankly we all know how that turned out. Pretty well actually. All the best things are made in caves at gunpoint. It’s Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Iron Man 3. Unlike two months ago these movies are actually connected in a trilogy.
Show-notes:
4:53 Our Spider Man episode. I thought this was more recent.6:00 Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot.12:26 This Daredevil movie that came out in 2003.

Only true Duran Duran fans listen to this podcast.
You know, sometimes I wonder how hard it must have been if you were an American or British spy and you were sent into Russia. You have to spend months, if not years, learning Russian, and then you have to perfect it to the point where you have basically no accent at all. And then if you do have an accent, well, good luck buddy you’ll probably get shot on sight. It’s Cold War, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on April 13, 2013.
Show-notes:
1:38 The Seeds of Death was in season 6, The Seeds of Doom was in season 13.10:38 Ronald Reagan: 1981-1989. George H.W. Bush: 1989-1993. Bill Clinton: 1993-2001.11:30 It was Yuri Andropov.16:16 We (I) got some stuff wrong here, but wikipedia has a pretty good article on Japanese holdout. Hiroo Onoda is probably the most famous.17:00 We also do a movie trilogy podcast called Triple Play.19:30 According to Manatee-World, manatees can’t live in water below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so there aren’t any arctic manatees.25:17 It looks like Sony still makes the Walkman as an mp3 player.34:37 Images of the Cold War playset.43:17 According to imdb, Jenna Coleman was born on 27 April 1986, making her 32 right now. Her bio doesn’t mention anything about her early life that would be linguistically interesting, so I don’t know what, if anything, is up with her accent.Doctor Who © The BBC

How many Rose Tyler jokes can we make before this gets old?
If you believe the fan theory that Doctor Who is just based on someone going back in time and reconstructing what the episodes should look like based on our podcast then by that theory our podcast represents not only how Doctor Who is, but how it could have been, how it should have been, and how it wasn’t. We literally represent every possible timeline of Doctor Who, right here in this podcast. Hey if it Stephen Moffat can do it so can I. It’s The Rings of Akhaten, written by Neil Cross and aired on April 7, 2013.
Show-notes:
0:56 I’m guessing this is other Russel Davies.1:49 Dwayne The Rock Johnson (a.k.a. the Fourteenth Doctor) usually eats like a week’s worth of food on Sundays.2:19 The other shows Neil Cross writes/wrote for.11:37 One’s near a church, the other’s not. That’s it.18:50 This is the billionth time I’ve linked to this chart and I have become exceedingly efficient at it.20:44 it was the Dogon people from Mali, actually in West Africa.33:48 The Hath.57:07 Unicron is a planet-sized Transformer.57:40 I actually miss Blake’s 7 and the podcast we made about it, Zenith.Doctor Who © The BBC

Who could have seen that coming?
I’m actually pretty sure the first time I saw this episode I thought Moffat was really clever for the whole “bells of St. John” thing. And you know, I still do. On the other hand though, he’s aware enough to make a joke about it, but where did the St. John’s Ambulance logo go during all those years between like 1970-something and now? In universe the exterior design of the TARDIS isn’t supposed to change so… where dit that logo go? It’s The Bells of St. John, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on March 30, 2013.
Show-notes:
4:31 Neuralink is the company Elon Musk started to create real Cybermen. And no, he doesn’t live in the house he was born in. Lol.8:10 BBC article about how American accents resemble the British accents of a couple hundred years ago.12:33 Summer Falls was actually published as an ebook.22:17 National Geographic footage of a deep-sea squid interacting with bombs.23:03 A painting by Banksy was put up for auction a few months ago and was shredded as soon as it was sold.38:38 David Tenant started a new podcast last month.Doctor Who © The BBC

Mary Poppins? Now there’s a name I have not heard in a long time.
Ding dong, turns out Christmas is here again, in February! Hasn’t Christmas just passed? Like, two months ago, or not even. A month a week, on this podcast anyway. That’s kind of weird, I’d say this is the shortest period between two Christmas Specials, but during the 12th Doctor’s Era we get two in a row, which naturally has to be the shortest possible period. It’s The Snowmen, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on December 25, 2012.
Show-notes:
20:13 The Artful Dodger sounds like kind of a sketch guy.32:23 Apparently Russell T. Davies is actually a pseudonym and as far as I can tell the “T” doesn’t stand for anything. His real name is is Stephen Russell Davies. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says he added the T to avoid confusion with another Russell Davies.32:32 The children’s show I was talking about here was Century Falls, which came out i 1993. I think I was mixing up the characters with another Russel T. show, Bob & Rose, which has a character named Rose Cooper. I’ve never watched either of these shows, so I could be wrong about this.33:41 Full text of How Watson Learned the Trick and The Hound of the Baskervilles.52:27 The hardest Sherlock Holmes story to solve in my opinion is The Boscombe Valley Mystery. The other stories we mentioned here were The Six Napoleons and The Blue Carbuncle.57:35 Miss Marple is one of the most famous female fictional detective.Doctor Who © The BBC

And introducing, the one, the only, TROOOLLLLLLL 2!
Unsurprisingly there was very little expanded universe, well, “stuff” to do for the Troll “trilogy.” Perhaps that’s because Troll isn’t even really a trilogy, and not only that these movies flopped so badly when they came out pretty much every studio within a million years didn’t want to touch it with a twenty foot bottle of Nilbog Milk. It’s Best Worst Movie, written and directed by Michael Stephenson and premiered on March 14, 2009.
Show-notes:
0:29 South by Southwest 2019 starts on March 8.1:58 MST3K is a show about watching stuff. Kind of like this, but with more little-known movies that are usually considered poorly made. One of the most notoriously bad movies they ever covered was Manos: The Hands of Fate.2:49 Birdemic and The Room are two other contenders for the worst movie of all time. I haven’t watched either but I doubt they’re worse than Troll 2.5:41 Troll “trilogy” episode here.11:20 Still can’t find the full script of the Troll 2 fan sequel, but it’s called Troll 3 Monstrous Beings if you want to try and find it yourself.11:28 Trust Your Doctor is our Doctor Who podcast.22:24 Her name was Deborah Reed. Apparently she has an interview in the dvd extras. Here’s the Troll 2 section of her blog. She’s also talked about Troll 2 in various interviews.24:52 Chuck is a movie about Chuck Wepner, the guy who inspired Rocky.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts!

On the prowl for dangerous criminals it’s Leadworth’s latest superhero…. Walmart Wilf!
I typically don’t shop at Walmart. I’m honestly just too lazy to drive that far, like it’s definitely not the closest department store to me. I haven’t done the math, but I’m pretty sure the extra cost of gas spent in driving to Walmart would outpace the money I’d save spending it there instead of anywhere closer. Now I’m wondering, are there any Walmarts in New York? Let alone Manhattan? It’s The Angels Take Manhattan, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on September 29, 2012.
Show-notes:
2:34 Frederick Law Olmstead was some guy who designed Central Park. I’m sure he wasn’t that important.10:38 The Angel’s Kiss was a prequel to Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town that was actually published as a book and audio book. The Hardy Boys is a series of detective stories for kids.11:59 Project Gutenberg is a great site for getting public domain stories. Standard Ebooks is the site that standardizes them “for the true book lover.”13:12 The Golden Compass a.k.a. Northern Lights is another book for kids. I watched the movie version of this when it came out like 10+ years ago and all I remember was that there was a pretty badass polar bear.14:27 Philip Marlowe is yet another fictional detective. Philip Marlowe vs. The Hardy Boys when?17:06 The storyboarded version of Brian learning about the events of this episode is online here.17:15 Tom Baker finally published Doctor Who Meets Scratchman as a novel. There’s a even a video of Baker himself lovingly providing a sneak preview of the book (which is already out but yeah).32:12 Triple Play is a podcast where we discuss movie trilogies and stuff.39:15 We even discussed the amazing Troll trilogy (Troll, Troll 2, and Contamination .7)40:03 Here’s all the Sting/Police songs we mention (also Oingo Boingo is a thing): Every Breath You Take, Don’t Stand So Close to Me43:31 The wiki doesn’t list anyone else as playing Rory, so it was probably Arthur Darvill.1:13:59 This is the millionth time I’ve linked to this River Song timeline and I have become exceedingly efficient at it.Doctor Who © The BBC

Can anyone find Cronus? Zeus needs to be put in a time out.
You know, Doctor Who really likes to tell us how many people is the right number, and it turns out it’s three. Which means that our podcast is one man short, and that further means that only our crossovers are “correct” in Doctor Who’s eyes. But you know, I don’t think either of us really care. It’s The Power of Three, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on September 22, 2012.
Show-notes:
19:28 SIDRAT made its first appearance in The War Games.23:26 If you don’t know, they served McDonald’s at the White House recently thanks to the government shutdown.23:53 Wikipedia actually has a a couple good lists of American shows that were British first and British shows that were American first.28:50 Painting a Room by Katia Kapovich.43:41 The Christian end of the world is Rapture.45:12 The name of the MOBA is Smite.Doctor Who © The BBC
