Podcastica Episode 316: The Invasion of Time OR The Random Objects of Rassilon 1:00:29

4h ago1:00:29

1:00:29

Friends, we are back in more ways than one! After a nice summer break after Ncuti's first season wrapped, not only are we back with a review of the 4th Doctor story The Invasion of Time, but the NOTLG website is back up and running! So when we say check the story notes, you absolutely can once again!…

Episode 315: Empire of Death OR Freak On A Leash 1:09:18

21d ago1:09:18

1:09:18

Well, here we are friends. At the end...of the season (not of everything, don't worry!). The Third Wave of Who (#thirdwavewho) is well underway and we've wrapped our season with Empire of Death! It certainly gave us a lot to chew on and discuss. And while we enjoyed the episode overall, there were some aspects of it that just didn't stick the landi…

Podcastica Episode 314: The Legend of Ruby Sunday OR Do Ambulances Dream of Electric Patients? 58:43

29d ago58:43

58:43

Holy smokes, friends! The Legend of Ruby Sunday...the first part of our season finale...has given us so much to chew on! Not only is it the return of Sutekh to the show after almost 50 years, it's the possibility of who dropped Ruby at the church in 2004, it's how much we'd be very cool with a UNIT spin-off, it's speculation on Mrs. Flood, it's wil…

Podcastica Episode 313: Rogue OR Happy Pride and Prejudice Month 1:09:22

1M ago1:09:22

1:09:22

This week we're joined by John's good friend and co-host on That Wrestling Show Neesin (@StayFlyLife) as we review Rogue and get a unique perspective of the Third Wave of Who from a brand new Whovian!All in all, Rogue was fantastic fun that fired on all cylinders and gave us more of an upbeat (though definitely emotional at times) romp before divin…

Podcastica Episode 312: Dot and Bubble OR Delete Your Account 57:00

1M ago57:00

57:00

Well, good science fiction generates thought and causes us to look at the world around us in new ways. Based just on that, Dot and Bubble is quite the episode! This week, we break down our initial feelings, analyze them, filter them through a rewatch, and then find even more to talk about. No kidding, this really was quite the episode! Join us!…

Podcastica Episode 311: 73 Yards OR 219 Feet 57:56

2M ago57:56

57:56

73 Yards is one of those rare episodes where we can get away with a pun this literal in our title! But it's also an absolute banger of a Welsh horror story! RTD has pretty much knocked this one out of the park, but that doesn't mean that we aren't left with a great deal of questions about some unanswered things from this story and the greater myste…

Podcastica Episode 310: Boom OR Landmine Zen 49:18

2M ago49:18

49:18

Here comes the...Boom is this week's episode and sees the return of showrunner Steven Moffat to write for the RTD2 era (aka: Third Wave Who...let's get that trending). And it's a tight, tense episode with one interesting surprise that we'll learn more about later. It's no a perfect episode, by any means, but we enjoyed it a good bit!The NOTLG site …

Podcastica Episode 309: The Devil's Chord OR Child of the Giggle 37:07

2M ago37:07

37:07

What's this?! Two episodes of Podcastica in the same day!? YES! And we're discussing THE DEVIL'S CHORD which gave us many many instances of shouting YES at the TV. This story was an absolute hurricane of crazy awesomeness and we loved it from stem to stern. So join us as we tinkle the ivories (we don't actually play the piano, but let's run with th…

Episode 308: Space Babies OR Third Wave Who 42:27

2M ago42:27

42:27

Friends and listeners, DOCTOR WHO IS BACK! Oh boy, we could not be more excited as we have two episodes for you this week! First up is SPACE BABIES! Yep, babies in space. Complete with a booger man (we guess the Brits pronounce it bogeyman) and RTD's love of a decent fart joke (at least it helps save the day this time). We also marvel at the specia…

Podcastica Episode 307: Boom Town OR The Cardiff Explosion 45:12

3M ago45:12

45:12

Well, they can't all be complete winners. And while Boom Town is better than our last episode, The Long Game, it still isn't great. But, as we always do, we make our way through to find the good bits and polish them up as best we can. And on a programming note, we're going to take an extra week off to rest up, refresh, and be ready for the start of…

1
Podcastica Episode 306: The Long Game OR 600 Channels and Nothing On 43:20

3M ago43:20

43:20

Friends and listeners, we give you The Long Game! Voted the worst 9th Doctor story three times in a row, we have to admit that we mostly agree. Simon Pegg guest stars but has to play second fiddle to a poorly animated sack of meat with teeth. The universally panned Adam is here, but we actually find that he serves a purpose in this story. Plus...is…

Is the Introvert Economy here to stay? 38:27

4M ago38:27

38:27

"The introverts have taken over the US economy." That's the provocative title of a recent Bloomberg column from economist Allison Schrager. As she looked into the data on how Americans have been spending their time since the pandemic, she noticed that they are spending less time socializing with their friends on weekends and more time in front of s…

Podcastica Episode 305: The Underwater Menace OR Insert Underwater Mario Level Music 59:17

4M ago59:17

59:17

We accept that the animated recreations of missing Doctor Who episodes can be a little hit and miss at times. But, really, at the end of the day, we're glad that these stories exist in more than just black and white tele-snaps for viewers to enjoy! And, while we weren't bowled over by the animation this time, there's still lots to enjoy. So grab yo…

1
Podcastica Episode 304: The Android Invasion OR Resistance is Inadvisable 40:52

4M ago40:52

40:52

The Android Invasion probably won't be making anyone's list for most amazing 4th Doctor story ever. But that doesn't mean there aren't any enjoyable parts to the story. We have some crazy looking androids, the Kraal are...maybe rhino people?! And there are some plot twist that, we have to admit, we didn't really see coming. So join us for a quick e…

Immigration and the border: the real story 55:58

4M ago55:58

55:58

When people talk about the crisis at the border between the US and Mexico, what specifically are they referring to? The Department of Homeland Security keeps track of a statistic called “border encounters” at the US border with Mexico. This includes primarily the large number of people who try to cross the border without documentation, or illegally…

Podcastica Episode 303: The Chase OR Ian and Barbara's Excellent Adventure 1:24:19

1:24:19

London 1965!! Remember when that was a thing? Well, we're back from Gallifrey One and friend of the show MA Solko has given us The Chase to watch. Not because it's a stinker, but because it's awesome. And, boy, was he right. Not a perfect story, but a wild romp across space and time! Amongst other things, The Chase may feature our favorite cliffhan…

Podcastica Episode 300: Planet of the Spiders OR The Fast and The Whovious 1:12:31

5M ago1:12:31

1:12:31

On the surface, Planet of the Spiders is another 6-part story that probably would be better served as four. However, as a send-off for Jon Pertwee's Doctor, it's an absolutely bonkers adventure full of karate chops, Palpatine-esque lightning, a huge car chase, crazy Halloween-castoff spiders looking to rule the universe, callbacks to The Green Deat…

You don't want to have a ping pong ball in your mouth all night? Alright then, fine! But just hear us out as we talk about the Monoids, the plague that Dodo brings, the 1st Doctor "hmm'-ing a…

Episode 298: The Mind of Evil OR Very Maybe 1:13:56

6M ago1:13:56

1:13:56

The Mind of Evil might just be Doctor Who at its greatest attempt to be an action-adventure show with a little bit of science fiction thrown in! The story is split between Stangmoor Prison and a Peace Conference for which UNIT is providing security (except for when everyone races off to the prison for the back half of the story). The Master has bui…

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz has unusually written an unusual book. The data analysis included in "Who Makes the NBA?: Data-Driven Answers to Basketball's Biggest Questions" normally would have taken Seth, a trained economist, multiple years of writing and running code. But because of new artificial intelligence tools, he finished the book in just thir…

But this week we watched the 2nd of the 60th Anniversary Specials: Wild Blue Yonder! In which we learn the value in not knowing everything that's going to happen in a story before it airs.

How far will two guys go to learn more about The Toymaker? Will they endure telesnaps and amateur animations? They will! With The Giiggle in our not-to-distant future, it was high time we got to know this immortal craftsman with a penchant for games. So we did our best to watch The Celestial Toymaker (and will likely revisit it when the animated ve…
