Night of the Living Geeks

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 mystery at work this season. So let's dive into it!

Welcome back! Let's get ready to get gracious! We've been doing cleaning and it's putting a fine polish on our mental health. Nick starts naming names, just count how many people you don't know that he namechecks, including SOME both first and last names because, OH BOY, does he have boundary issues! An off-hand mention of a weird game leads to a discussion of the Merits of Momoa and, while we express gratitude, the Demerits of Glitter. Plus gardening talk! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

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 is still experiencing issues, unfortunately, so there's not much hope for the show notes at the moment.

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 the visual...) and beat the drum over how much we loved this episode!

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 special effects and wonder about Ruby's apparent power to affect the environment around her.

Buckle in because it's the beginning of our multi-episode allergy update arc! Nick drove forever and ever, and has Opinions about Arizona. For our discussion, we talk streaming services and tendencies, plus an obsessive reality show! It's a Culture Club week where we talk about 2023's British sci-fi rom-com coming of age martial arts masterpiece(?) Polite Society. We're ballpark buds, but there's a good amount of daylight!

This month on Phenomena City Limits... Sure! We could talk about Mothman and Bigfoot and, um, Sheep...squatch. But you've had a dozen other podcasts cover these guys. They get the limelight and all the attention and the slightly inappropriate bumper stickers on Etsy. But what about the Counter-Culture Cryptids? All the wild bugged-out-eyed crazies and tongue-waggin' weird-ohs with a penchant for drag racing? Well, this month PCL gives them their time in the spotlight!! Did it all start with Rat Fink, as so many believe? Or does the history of these wacky characters go back even further?

It's Good Wednesday again, that means a piping hot Talk à Deux direct from the oven. Put on your ov-glove and dig in as we talk SPORTS! Not just a Huey Lewis album, but also a thing that people play! We discuss our personal relationship to SPORTS, whether it's SPORTS or SPORT, and then do a couple Madlibs for good measure. A heads up that our next episode is a Culture Club episode in which we will be discussing Nick's 2023 Film of the Year candidate, Polite Society. You should be able to find it somewhere on Internet!

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 the first season of New Modern Who! So we'll be back around May 15th!

Now that it's spring it's so hot, isn't it? Does that make you thirsty? Could you go for a cold drink right about now? What about a hot bev? You like the hot bev and the cold bev, don't you? Well so do we! This episode we draft beverages and leave nothing on the table for anyone else! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

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 the Doctor at least partially to blame for Adam's behavior?

No joke, friends! The April edition of Phenomena City Limits is here!! This month, Seb leads us on an interesting look at both tropical and sidereal astrology! He also shares what got him on this path and then we do a double-blind taste test between Pep...wait, no...that was something else. We do a double-blind test to see which astrology chart (tropical or sidereal) we identify with most!

Hello, internet! Long time, no see, how are you? You good? I love what you've done with your hair! We're back! In this episode I hope you brought the mustard because we brought the catchin' up! We embrace our inner old people and talk about what we've been doing for the past TWO YEARS. Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

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 your air tanks (or just become a fish person) and join us under the sea for The Underwater Menace!

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 episode as we review The Android Invasion!

After a slight delay, episode two of Phenomena City Limits is here! This month, Seb takes the helm and leads us down an interesting path as he investigates The Orion Cube! Whether it's a bit of disinformation popping up across multiple stories or a piece of actual alien tech, the tale of the Orion Cube is definitely a wild ride!

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 cliffhanger of all time and one of the funniest scenes in all of Doctor Who!

Hello again, fellow WHOVIANS! We're back with our DAY TWO recap of Gallifrey One 2024! We talk about Idiot's Lantern, Game of Rassilon, Alex Kingston, the Tiki meet up, and much more!

GREETINGS WHOVIANS! John and Taylor are LIVE from the lobby of the LAX Marriott to give you their recaps of Gallifrey One Day Zero & Day One! We hope everyone is having a lovely con.

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 Death and Jo, and so much more! So if you're on your way to Gallifrey One or just need to escape the world for an hour, join us for our 300th episode and Planet of the Spiders!!
