That's right - it's the 100th edition of the Coal Hill AV Club, so - I don't know - I guess you should pretend this podcast is wrapped in a special gold leaf cover like Robert Holmes' "Two Doctors" novelization. Here's the deal: we start off talking about why we love the fandom and why it's a great time to be a fan, what with the Twitch stream and all. After about 25 minutes of that, we launch into a hilarious, insightful, snarktastic live commentary of the 2007 Doctor Who episode "Gridlock", because hey why the heck not?

26:51 - "Gridlock" pre-commentary

30:09 - Actual commentary

(note: we were watching the Amazon Prime streaming version - we're 99% sure the DVD has the same edit, but if it doesn't, please let us know so we can crack some skulls.)

It all comes down to this. And by "it", we mean "our March Madness thing, but in May, and with Doctor Who monsters instead of basketball people." And by "this", we mean "the final rounds." Who will be crowned as The Character and/or Species The Coal Hill A/V Club Most Wants To See Return? Will the Mara snake its way into a mythological victory? Will the Rani pickle her opponents like gherkins in a jar? Will the Voord something something latex something watery? Only time will tell.

If you've ever wondered "which antagonistic characters should return in the next series of Doctor Who, and is there a way we can determine that through a March Madness style sports bracket system, complete with music someone ripped from a 1999 Jock Jams CD," then this episode of the Coal Hill A/V Club podcast is for you! (with Andy, Stephen, Dustin, and eventually one of the other ones, too.)

This one gets a bit Vervoid-y, if you catch my drift, so let's go ahead and give it a strong PG-13/mind R rating. Probably NSFW, unless you work in a den of iniquity, like - say - an adult video store or a horticultural lab.

Confoundin' crustaceans! The Doctor, Ben, Polly, and Jamie fight giant crabs at a holiday camp in spaaaaace... giant crabs that can literally mess with your mind, maaaan. Yes, it's Doctor Who's groovy 1967 take on the hypnosis/government propaganda story, and Dustin, Andy, and Stephen are here to offer the hottest of hot takes on a story no one's seen in 50 years because the BBC junked the tapes. Yes, folks, like the colonists say, "There are no such things as Macra."

Actual story discussion starts at 16:40.

Just a quick n' sleepy recap of Regeneration Who 4 - where our intrepid Coal Hill gang ran around all weekend running the costume contest, the variety show, and all manner of other things. We're clearly all pretty sleepy here, but in a fun, punchy way. And we say nice things about various cosplayers, actors, and con-runners. Stay tuned to the end for a special, Coal Hill AV Club exclusive mashup of that Portugal, The Man song everyone's digging these days. (No, the other one.)

Our Gallifrey One 29 recap, recorded live in Stephen's hotel room at the LAX Marriott, and in and around Gally. Featuring special guest appearances by Mark Ayres, Alyssa Franke (@whovianfeminism), Emma Caywood, and an air conditioner that seemed to burst to life every darn time we started talking about something important. (I apologize for the sound quality - I attempted to do a "noise filter thing" and all it did was make everything worse, so I made the command decision to let the stupid air conditioner be part of the show. I'm sure its parents are very proud.)

MEANWHILE...

In this episode of the Coal Hill A/V Club, a Doctor Who podcast with about six listeners, we offer our preview of Gallifrey One, which is probably the biggest DW convention in the world, certainly the US. The gang will all be there, and we're up to some crazy stuff, so yeah. Also: tips for first time Gally attendees (tip #1: the cool kids call it "Gally"), a discussion of Dustin's odd proclivities, and Stephen can't tell the difference between two late nineties staples of alternative rock radio.

Second part of our Moff-retrospective, with a very silly song parody about 1 minute in.
