Stephen and Andy explore the metaphysical properties of the universe, the eternal debate between science and faith, and the ethics of virtual suicide. Or *do* they? Is it all an illusion? Does any of this matter? Is Nardole the Meddling Monk? Are the Monks the Cybermen? Are the Cybermen my real Dad? I have no idea what's happening in this one, folks, but there's a parody of that song from Portal and a new edition of Kids Talk Who, so that's nice.

Ep. 70 - Extremis

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.)

Ep 100 - "Gridlock" commentary & State Of The Fandom

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.

Ep 99 - Even More Monster Madness - The Next Generathing

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.

Ep 98 - Big Monster Madness Face-Off Thingy

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.
