Talking Tropes Podcast

Yes that's right, this week Hannah and David are fixing one of the most beloved of the modern Disney

It's a new year, but is it a New Doctor Who? Well... sort of? We dig in to all the best and worst moments and tropes of this New Years episode. We also debate the very existence of the concept of a "New Years", if the romance of the episode works, and what it means that Doctor Who had it's first cut away gag. (Spoilers: it's the end of everything.)

Thanks as always to our editor Logan McBride who you can find across the social internet at @loganmchollow!

BAH HUMBUGGEROO! It's a very Talking Tropes Christmas, Charlie Brown. Is this episode part of the war on Christmas? Or is it just corporate propaganda? YOU DECIDE! Comment your favorite Christmas special!

'Tis the season for love and peace, so we're talking about pacifists in media! We've got video games where no one has to die, shows where even the worst people are redeemable, and a whole mess of others where morality is somewhat a little more gray. Peace! And! Love!

Thanks to our editor Logan, who you can find around the internet as @loganmchollow.

It's the final two episodes of the season, and we want to know: did Doctor Who stick the landing, or did it backslide into underdeveloped swill once more? The answer may surprise you! We've got final thoughts on the whole season, hopes for the future, and more proof that Homestuck is everywhere,

Alan Cumming steals the show this week on Doctor Who. Also he stole our hearts. And our wallets. Today David and Hannah recap and dissect the tropes in Series 11 episodes 7 and 8 Kerblam! and The Witchfinders. Will politics ruin Doctor Who? Will mud men finally provide season 11 with an iconic villain? Find out with TARDIS TROOOOOPES!!!

We're thankful for our family this time of year - whether that's the people who birthed you, the ones who raised you, or some kindred spirits you found along the way, and so we're talking about examples of the latter for a whole episode! This one goes out to all the Mom Friends, to the begrudging father figures who adopt orphans, and to the groups of four or more kids who have to band together to save the world.

This week, Hannah is finally happy with an episode of Doctor Who, and David is so very very tired. Is there any hope for the season to be any good? Maybe... but probably not. Direct all angry complaints to @TalkingTropes on Twitter or the BBC!

It's all in the title, folks. Today we explore why the Good Place is literally, figuratively, ironically, the same as Homestuck.

Spoilers for both of those.

Special thanks to our editor, Logan

Did doctor Who nail it these last two episodes? Well... not really. But it did mange to suck just a little bit less! Hop into the TARDIS to meet Rosa Parks and some spiders and a really incompetent parody of Donald Trump. We'll cover all that and more in this episode of Tardis Tropes!

Special thank you to our editor Logan McBride for his patience and skill. You can find him @loganmchollow on Instagram and Tumblr.
