Hello listeners! Michel and Mike are here to give you an update on the show. To make a long story short: we’re going on hiatus! […]
Doctor Who S3E6 – The Lazarus Experiment

David, Michel, Sam, and Nathan all get together to discuss cigars, break down their thoughts on that big casting news (we’re recording this super-late), AND play two different games! All that, and more, it’s The Lazarus Experiment!
Best Villain 2004: Ken Ben: Volume 46
/
RSS Feed
Kenny and Ben are on an epic mission of revenge. Whoops did we say revenge? We meant “ranking another year of Best Villain nominees.” Lucy Liu won for her turn as O-Ren in Kill Bill: Volume 1, but is she really a better villain than the villains of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Charlie Angels: Full Throttle, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and Phone Booth? Kenny and Ben get into it while also talking about their limitations in finding interesting things to say about great movies, how one of them didn’t realize that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a remake, the mesmerizing weirdness of Full Throttle, if Barbossa is too boring compared to the other larger than life characters in Pirates 1, the long development cycle of Phone Booth, and more. It’s as much as fun as being a pirate probably.
Space Station Scooby!

The last time she was on the show, Jesse Catherine Webber made a commitment. The next time she was on the podcast would be the first utterance of the ‘Ruh-Roh’ award. Was she successful? You will have to listen to find out, but I can assure you it is a very bad episode of Scooby-Doo. This week, the gang goes to Outer Space with self-proclaimed science advocated Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse-Tyson. Listen as Ethan and Jesse try to make sense of these two figures’ public personas. Ethan does a cold read from Neil Degrasse Tyson’s Twitter. Jesse finds a way to bring up baseball. And together they speculate about the tv show Velma weeks before we saw the first look. Heavy Meddle is back baby!

David, Michel, and special guest Emilio Diaz talk Doctor Who’s politics, the state of those guest stars (Andrew who??), and the implications of the Cult of Skaro – it’s Daleks in Manhattan AND Evolution of the Daleks!
Best Villain 2003: Bonesaw Was Ready, 1862 New York Was Not
/
RSS Feed
Kenny and Ben are back with takes so fresh it’s almost like this episode was recorded two days before it released. Best Villain 2003 went to Daveigh Chase’s memorable turn in The Ring, but was she really better than the villains of Spider-Man, Gangs of New York, Daredevil, and Austin Powers in Goldmember?! Kenny and Ben get into it while also getting into if movies should account for the fact that they might be watched at 2x speed, the career of Superhero Movie director Craig Mazin, the only other Daniel Day-Lewis movie Ben has seen, a plea for an upbeat take on Daredevil, Seth Green’s NFT woes, and more! Plus a preview of some of the 2022 Best Villain and Best Kiss nominees and a very good impression of everyone’s favourite Spider-Man character Bonesaw!
Doctor Who S3E3 – Gridlock

Adam Bumas returns as Podtor talks about the Face of Boe, the accuracy of New New York, and the pandemic, I guess. It’s Gridlock!
S04E13 – “Never Again” feat Brianda
/
RSS Feed
We’re joined by Brianda to talk Scully in her slut era in S04E13 “Never Again”. While Mulder is banished to taking a vacation, Scully follows a case to Philadelphia and has a bit of a midlife crisis. We get a redpilled tattoo voiced by Jodie Foster, see a train wreck of a first date at a biker bar, and Scully gets a tattoo. Mulder only shows up to be the worst kind of guy throughout the episode, leading to a long awaited Mulder rating from Shelby.
Tune in next time when we watch S04E14 “Momento Mori” and follow us on Twitter @condensedtruth!
Best Villain 2002: I Understand This Robot Chicken Sketch Now
/
RSS Feed
Kenny and Ben are back and King Kong ain’t got nothing on them when they tackle Best Villain 2002. Denzel Washington wins for Training Day in a rare villianous role but is he better than the villains of Queen of the Damned, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings, Planet of the Apes (2001), and Rush Hour 2? Kenny and Ben get to the bottom of it while also talking about a deep dive on one obscure Robot Chicken sketch, the weirdness of Queen of the Damned technically being an Interview With the Vampire sequel, their relative unfamiliarity with one of the biggest Fantasy franchises of all time, complicated twist endings, blooper reels, and more! It’s another good one so be sure to listen.

David, Michel, and special guest Sam delve into the idea of being horny, whether this episode has aged particularly well or not, and the state of Doctor Who celebrity encounters as they work their way through The Shakespeare Code.
