Woke Doctor Who

We’ve had a tough couple of weeks and wanted a break from our usual challenging topics, so we bring you: THE THIRST. Essentially, all the dudes we lust after (ladies to come in a later episode). Enjoy!

In a show that features time travel, the concept of age could be completely meaningless. So when and how does the show make it meaningful? We explore the times Doctor Who has leaned into the significance of age and aging, or sidestepped it completely. Join us as we discuss: – Life and love after 40 […]

Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2019 by sharing our thoughts about Season 11. Join us as we talk through: Our stories taking center stage on the show The Doctor as Project Manager The strength, weakness, and brilliance of normal people And overall, just how dang “chuffed” we are with this season

CW: Swearing (and lots of it) Happy holidays! We send off the year with a good ol’ fashioned Festivus airing of grievances. As a Black woman and an Asian woman, we spend lots of time talking to each other about the ways – large and small – whiteness infringes on our ability to be who […]

Join us as we discuss “Crazy Rich Asians”, the blockbuster summer rom-com written by, directed by, and starring … Asians! We talk through the controversies, the beauty, the relationships, and the “hidden” movie inside the movie that some of us got to see. Most importantly, we talk about centering the Asian-American experience and the quest […]

As American WOC who love a British show, we were bracing ourselves for the worst when we saw the previews for “Rosa”. And we were absolutely right to worry. While we’re still enjoying this season and Jodie as 13, we were deeply disappointed in how wrong this episode was on the American Civil Rights Movement […]

The Doctor is back and so are we! The first female Doctor is no small thing, so we got together to experience our new TARDIS team in person! We laughed, we cried, we grumbled (a little), we ate pizza, we clapped–and then of course talked about it all afterwards. And keep an ear out for […]

Ah, Captain Jack Harkness, arguably the sexiest part of “Doctor Who”, the one who swaggered into the Whoniverse and changed it irrevocably. In this episode, we dig into the life (LIVES?) of our beloved omni/pansexual, Captain Jack – the one who’s attracted to us all. How he fought alongside the Doctor. How he became the […]

Introducing our new quickie “grab bag” episodes! Eugenia and Toya take a little time to reflect on the new TARDIS team and their panel at San Diego Comic-Con. We’re so excited, guys!

And now for something completely different! Join us as we finally talk about “Black Panther.” Toya is ready to share her thoughts, her experiences, and most importantly, her feelings about Wakanda and what the possibility of a land without colonization means for Black people and for her personally. We also discuss reactions of non-black audiences […]
