Doctor Who S05E10 - Vincent and the Doctor

00:00 / 51:52

A content warning for mentions and discussion of suicide and depression.

It’s all about your, Podtor Whocast. David and Michel take a trip into the past to see whether Richard Curtis’ introduction to Doctor Who feels like an episode of Doctor Who, whether the infamous ending to this one has overshadowed the episode itself, and, having successfully (after a lot of false starts) predicted a Beatles episode, take a shot at predicting a few more “celebrity historical” episodes to come. All this and more – it’s Vincent and the Doctor!

Nick (@NickRichWrites) returns to bring us a bad omen: The X Files: I Want to Believe. We talk about the second movie in all its late Bush era X Files glory? We try to piece together this scattered plot, discuss break up MSR, and whether the crew had one left in them.

Some background on the second movie: https://thexfileswebarchive.neocities.org/secondmovie

Tune in next time with our FINAL episode recap with S11E04 “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat”.

00:00 / 54:18

The Earth Is HUNGY! We delve into the rise and fall of Chris Chibnall’s reptilian renaissance, coin a phrase to describe a type of episode that seems to have fallen to the wayside, and discuss which classic monsters the show should bring back next. All this and more – it’s The Hungry Earth AND Cold Blood!

00:00 / 52:01

Have you tried blowing on it? As we wrap up this first run of Gamer Era, Sam and David take turns sharing stories around the pixelated campfire, reflecting on editing woes, the emotional gamble of a nostalgic hit, and various highs and lows of producing the show so far. It’s a much smaller and looser episode than usual, but a necessary one as we regroup and prepare to return with a whole new slate of eps in a couple of months’ time. Look forward to it!

One world, you listen to the latest episode of Podtor Whocast…the other, you’re a freakin’ LOSER! I’m sorry. Anyway, Sam returns to talk about Amy and Rory’s ever-changing relationship, intense Doctor Who-related tripping experiences, and a dedicated Toby Jones corner. All this and more — it’s Amy’s Choice!

00:00 / 2:01:50

You mean the Walkman guys?! Okay, good luck… Sam invites on fellow Nintendo community alum Dylan (@DekuDeluxe) to chat all things PlayStation, and specifically the golden age of creativity in the PS2 days. There’s examinations on Team Ico, Japan Studio, the EyeToy, and big-name executives “doing backflips down the corridor”. There’s also lamentations on what the hell Sony have become in the years since, and our prods and nudges on where they perhaps go from here. Contains no more than the medically-advised dosage of Jim Ryan patter.

Bleh! David and Michel delve into what may be the most mid episode of all time, as they discuss this episode’s shortcomings, briefly ruminate on a forgotten 2006 movie (we also didn’t even notice Murray Gold did the score for it!), and chat about whatever. I don’t know, I’m just the episode description – it’s The Vampires of Venice!

The truth is out there… waaaaay out there. Our newest guest, Lucy, is released from the lamp to share the most secret treasures of the venerable Shantae series, before David gives the debrief on some of the world’s oddest cryptid myths, coloured by the tale of the even stranger developer behind the X-Files tie-in game on PS2. It’s all brought together by perhaps the most inexplicable connection on the show so far – and we don’t mean Sam!

00:00 / 1:26:57

The image of a podcast becomes itself a friggin podcast, as Nathan joins us once more to talk about how people are actually really wrong about a lot of things in this two-parter, Michel talks about the potential over-use of I am The Doctor, and the most vicious forum debate of all time rages on: does the Eleventh Doctor have any rizz? All this and more as we delve into The Time of Angels AND Flesh and Stone!

Gamer Era Episode 009 - The Hunt for Content

00:00 / 1:49:52

Sometimes, the greatest fears come from within… sometimes, you have to know when to stop looking. Join us, on our most noble of expeditions, as we whack through the metaphorical forest brush in search of segment gold. David sticks a big combat knife into the table as he details the acute difficulty in devising a segment (while accidentally creating [REDACTED]), before Sam swoops in to relay the comic book origins of Acclaim’s notorious arrow-slinging mascot, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. There’s also a report from the London Gaming Market, and absolutely nothing cursed happens otherwise. Promise?
