March 26, 2025 Pertwee special: One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing!
This isn’t one of the better good old Disney movies (one of us likes it a lot more than the other) but sometimes lesser movies make for the best discussions, and this is one of those cases. We spend a lot of time talking about the historical context, and its impact on other films — in particular, Star Wars literally owes a huge debt to Dinosaurs!
And oh yeah, Jon Pertwee is in there somewhere…

January 19, 2025 Doctor Who 49: The Space Pirates
This is the last reconstruction we’ll ever have to watch — yay!
For a story no one ever talks about and that we knew nothing about, we were pleasantly surprised! It’s a damn shame only one episode of this survived.

January 03, 2025 Katherine Mangu-Ward on The Seeds of Death
Over the years Katherine — Editor in Chief at Reason Magazine — and I have had numerous late night conversations at bars across the country, and this podcast is pretty much a recording of one of those discussions. The starting point is the Dr Who story The Seeds of Death, but the discussion is wide-ranging, philosophical, and funny. Just the way I like it.

And that clock image will be eternal.
Listen in to our non-silent podcast to learn more about the film and see what we think about it!
