Content that'll quench ya!
David and Michel talk about how it would feel to be woken up once a year while being kept in a cupboard the other 364 days, while also delving into how this episode is literally just a retread of multiple episodes of Torchwood Season One. It’s To the Last Man!
Kenny and Ben take a break from Best Villain to return to the world of kissing and this year’s Best Kiss nominees. Jackass Forever had a surprise victory with their interspecies kiss between man and snake but was that really better than kisses from Euphoria, Emily in Paris, The Batman, and Spider-Man: No Way Home? Kenny and Ben get to the bottom of it while also discussing the even better snake kiss that happened during Poopies’ acceptance speech, what Euphoria gets right about the teenage experience, knockoff Peloton bikes, the increasing prominence of Catwoman in recent comics, Spider-Man fanservice, and much more. Kissing is back and you won’t want to miss it!
David and Michel dissect sleeper agents, sitcoms with the name Todd in them, and other shows I guess. We do talk about the sleeper agents, though. Definitely. It’s Sleeper! I hardly knew her!
It’s been a long hiatus but the wait is finally over. Kenny and Ben are back and they’ve brought their pal Ethan with them for a rousing discussion of Best Villain 2006! Hayden Christiansen won that year for his turn as Anakin “Darth Vader” Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith, but was he really better than the villains of Saw II, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Batman Begins, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe?! The boys get to the bottom of it while also discussing if anyone could have given a good Anakin performance, needle pits, a blow by blow description of Kenny’s favourite Goblet of Fire scene, the Nickelback TV spot for Batman Begins, the craziness of the Narnia franchise, and more! We’ve been gone a long time but we haven’t missed a beat (arguably!)
Nick (@NickRichWrites) returns to finally talk an eco-horror monster of the week episode with S05E04 “Detour”. Mulder and Scully ditch a work seminar in Florida to find an elusive creature famously from the area, hijinks ensue!
-Slight correction, the role in “Post-modern Prometheus” was written for Roseanne Barr!

Ro! Ro! ROBOT?! Podtor Whocast delves into Doctor Who’s Christmas adventures once again – but WAIT! There’s more! Before we talk heads in boxes, recency bias in magazine polls, and short hand, we talk about Peter Davison and uh, yeah, I don’t know. Not much else. I don’t know. It’s TIME CRASH and VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED!
Returning guest Kat comes on to talk about the origins of our beloved nerds, the Lone Gunmen, in S05E03 “Unusual Suspects”. We fall into the conspiracy rabbit hole with Frohike, Byers, and Langly as a run in with a mysterious woman alters their lives. We talk about this episode placing The X Files in the Tommy Westphall universe.
