279: We Want People to Cry on Christmas (Twice Upon a Time)

Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast

Personally, I make it a rule to cry on every day EXCEPT Christmas.

Did you ever watch that Disney movie? Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas? Well fun fact they actually made a sequel, called Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas. And every time I watch this episode I think of that movie because the names are so suspiciously similar. I mean, have you ever seen anything else in any media that uses the word “twice” at all? It’s Twice Upon a Time, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on December 25, 2017.
