MarkWHO42: Doctor Who & More!

Join Mark Baumgarten, Trish Freyre, and Eduardo M. Freyre (the original team of MarkWHO42) as they accompany Weekend TARDIS at last week's theatrical screening of Doctor Who: The End of Time with David Tennant, John Simm as The Master, and Bernard Cribbins as Wilf Mott.

The first half was recorded at the event itself with fan interviews and loads of fun especially with thw technical difficulties with the showing itself (causing the show to start an hour after it should have... at least we got our money back). The second half is a review we never did before of the original 2-part episode because MarkWHO42 hadn't been in existence when it originally came out...

MarkWHO42! We don't spit when we talk, but give Timothy Dalton a break... he's playing Rassilon, so he can do whatever he wants!!!

The Endgame has come and gone and now Peter Parker must live in a world without (REDACTED). Join the Markwho crew as we explore Peter's journey in our review of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

How is the world recovering from the Snap and the Blip? What are the mysteries of Mysterio? How cool is Mary Jane? and how awesome was that scene in the credits featuring a surprise return?

Listen in and find out. We promise it'll be more fun than Nick Fury and Maria Hill actually turning out to be (CENSORED)!

Journey back to August 2012 when Mark Baumgarten and Trish Freyre (then Helm) invited Eduardo M. Freyre to join their cast of improv characters talking about Doctor Who on a show called MarkWHO42 & Torrid Tori's Podcast Blog. This show was so COOL it even had a special effects budget!!!

This episode is from a 2-parter called The MarkWHO42 Experiment after the first Doctor Who Mark ever saw back in 1978, The Sontaran Experiment. UNCUT and complete!!!

MarkWHO42! Even back in it's first incarnation, it was really awesome... and still is!!!

All Good Things must come to end. At some point a TV show ends its run. And the MarkWHO crew decided to dedicate an episode to some of the best and worst TV series finales of all time.

From animes and like Gundam Wing and Evangelion to TV icons like MASH and Star Trek the Next Generation. There'll be character deaths and heartfelt farewells. Finales that made us cry and finales that made us mad. And maybe a finale or two that wasn't meant to be the end but gave us an ending anyway.

This episode will be more fun than waking up and finding out it was all a dream.

The Star Wars Universe has come to the Disney Parks and MarkWHO has found someone to dish the dirt on the goings at Black Spire Outpost!

Listen in as Patricia Freyre and Zion ask Becca all the burning questions. How's the food? Did you make your own lightsaber? What was it like inside the legendary Millenium Falcon? And what happens when you use lightsabers near the First Order?

So get ready to punch it and enjoy this look at the new Galaxy's Edge. It;s more fun than getting escorted out of the land by stormtroopers.

MarkWHO42’s Mark Baumgarten and Zion Quiros enter the world of Doctor Who fan video series once again with our interview of Doctor Who Velocity’s main writer and Doctor, Krystal Moore, and her husband Chris Phillips, the director and editor of the first 3 episodes and writer of the upcoming episode 4 which should be coming out this July!

MarkWHO42! We interview The Doctor and it’s not Jodie Whittaker, it’s Krystal Moore!

Can someone help us get Jodie next? Then we could say we have had the two female Doctors on our show!!!

MarkWHO42’s Mark Baumgarten and Zion Quiros pay tribute to the late Paul Darrow, Kerr Avon on Blake’s 7, as well as his two roles on classic Doctor Who.

Then, the show takes a Timey-Wimey turn as they give their top 5 favorite time machines other than the TARDIS. Yes we love Doctor Who the most, but there are other ways to travel through time and space in different sci-go franchises and we thought we’d share some of them. Beyond the WHOniverse indeed!

MarkWHO42! Regardless of the list, The TARDIS is still our number one!

This week we focus on Big Finish Productions’ writing competition called the Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trips Opportunity 2019. It is in honor of the late Paul Spragg who was a very valued employee at the company until his death in 2014.

In 2016, this contest started where fans are asked to write a single page synopsis and a single page opening of the story itself. That’s about 500 words for each page to start. The due date for this 4th year of the competition is on June 30th, 2019. But there are guidelines to follow and can be found at https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/paul-spragg-memorial-short-trips-opportunity so make sure you read them.

As our guest on this special episode of MarkWHO42 we have Max Curtis, who entered the contest 2 years ago and became a runner-up. But even though usually only the winner gets to write their story for an audio adventure, his was so good that Big Finish hired him to complete his story and it’s being released as a subscriber special alongside June’s Main Range story “An Alien Werewolf in London”. The Short Trips adventure is called “Still Life” and features the characters of The Third Doctor and Jo Grant and in our opinion is utterly amazing and emotional.

To get this audio, you must subscribe to the Main Range line at Big Finish and make sure story #252 is included, or you will have to wait a year or two until it’s separately released but listen to us... don’t wait. Go to Big Finish now... well after you listen to the episode of MarkWHO42 of course!

MarkWHO42! Where Max Curtis gets you to enter the Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trips Opportunity!

We start off with news to win a trip to the UK to have breakfast with Jodie Whittaker and get a tour of the Doctor Who set for the sake of Red Nose Day and Omaze.

Then, it's been a month and the spoiler ban has been lifted! Its time for Markwho42 to review Avengers Endgame.

Eduardo M. Freyre takes the helm as the MW42 crew look at the MCU Infinity Saga ended. From Thor's surprising transformation to the two words Captain America said that made Eduardo cheer. Plus a discussion on how the time travel worked and what could it mean for the MCU going forward.

It's more fun than being found worthy to lift Mjolnir.

Mother's Day was this past weekend and MarkWHO42 is celebrating with talk about some of the mothers of Doctor Who.

From mothers who were companions to alien mothers. We've also got mothers whose love made it possible for everybody to live. We even have some mothers who aren't exactly high on the beloved list.

All this plus we've got some big Doctor Who news from Big Finish.

This is more fun than watching Martha's mom get tricked by The Master.
