    Episode 134: One Berry Short of a Bushel (The Leisure Hive)
    Nov 16 2024
    It’s all change as we kick off Season 18 with The Leisure Hive! New title sequence, new arrangement of the theme, new incidental music, and a new costume for the Doctor! Meanwhile, we welcome our new co-host Diana for her first regular episode with us. We couldn’t be more excited to talk about nuclear war and tachyonics… Join us as we discuss how awful this story makes Brighton Beach look, the continued bad treatment of K9, what GOOD synth sounds like, whether you can defeat an Argolin by picking off their berries, long recaps and needlessly prolonged shuttle landings, whether the Foamasi are actually somewhat cute, and how time works within this story. Of course, we have to talk about the Cold War perception of a 20 minute war. If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

    Bonus Episode 39: Wear My Face! (The Romance of Crime)
    Nov 10 2024

    We’re at the end of Season 17, and could we really get there without a Big Finish bonus episode!? This time around, we’re talking about The Romance of Crime, which was adapted from a Virgin New Adventures novel by RTD/Moffatt-era writer (and now cancelled) Gareth Roberts, and adapted by Big Finish legend John Dorney!

    Join us as we discuss horrendous squish sounds, the conversion of the novel to audio and the absurd amount exposition and large cast that it comes with, the attempts at Noir, the pastiche of the Kray Twins, how all four of us missed elements of the plot actually happening (seriously, when did Romana get possessed!?), the comedy gold of the Ogrons, the inherent racism in calling everyone “normals,” and whether Gareth Roberts truly understands the “vibe” of Season 17. Amusingly, Reilly feels the need to check if he is likely to meet one of the stars before criticizing them…

    If you would like to listen along with us, this story is available directly from Big Finish (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3Z0eODF)
