KPO – Keep Podtoring On! David and Michel travel back to World War 2 era London to investigate whether the episode is successful in introducing this big, colourful, and totally successful no doubt about it Dalek redesign, whether devoting an episode to a noted war criminal is a good idea, and what episodes we find work better within this kind of narrative framework. All this and more, it’s Victory of the Daleks!
You’re a kid now – you’re an arachnid now?! SOMEHOW, David has returned… and he brings along tales woven of “spiders-men” and “played stations”. It’s as much of a celebration of the web-slinger’s chequered history as it is a classic rant, true believer! Sam also invites experienced splatmate Kit aboard the good ship Era to talk about the slippery world of Splatoon and the evolving ambition of its single player campaigns. ‘Nuff squid.
Friggin Mr. Beast Below? I sure hope not. Join David, Michel, and special guests Peter and Paul of Snappt! as they delve into some incredibly odd Doctor moments, break down some bizarre napkin-eating antics, talk about disappointing action figure namesakes, and fall down a rabbit hole of haunted eBay listings. All this and more – it’s The Beast Below!
WOAH-SHI – it’s a double Yoshi exploshi! David’s taken a step out for this episode (something about “unfinished business”…?), so Sam calls in long-time friend and resident Yoshi expert Muz (@MuzYoshi) to run through all things Munchakoopas. There’s a particular focus on his N64 outing, but we also take the time to run through all the attempts to follow it up in the years since – and where we think it might be headed next. Forgotten details and lore drops abound!
We’re back! (cue I Am the Doctor). CC joins us once again as we delve into the career of star of stage and screen Danny Huston, whether Marc Maron would give us the time of day, and uh, I guess, Doctor Who? A new Doctor, a new showrunner, and a new-ish format (hey that’s almost an episode of Class) as the clock strikes that familiar tone – it’s The Eleventh Hour!
Recorded moments after the brand new (as of 22nd March 2024) trailer for Doctor Who landed, David and Michel break down their initial response to it and speculate briefly.
Grab your fish fingers and custard, doff your fez, and get ready to talk Danny Huston as Podtor Whocast returns for a triumphant fifth season! A brand new Doctor, brand new format, brand new theme and more — it all awaits you NEXT MONDAY as we delve into 2010 in ways no one has ever delved into it before!
e joined by our close, personal friends who are real and alive, the Lone Gunmen, in S09E15 “Jump the Shark”. We chat about this send off for The Lone Gunmen (the show) and the Lone Gunmen (the trio), our personal last meals, and post-9/11 The X Files.
Apologies for the weird sounds in the part when Shelby’s cat got on her desk, he doesn’t behave.
Tune in next time when we watch I Want to Believe and follow us on Twitter @condensedtruth!
When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city… to see the marching band… or rather, “vaguely aspirational hero characters from the mid-aughts that were marketed to boys of about our age”. Cough. Plenty of deep cuts this ep: David frames a discussion on the titular Action Man in musings on plastic capitalism, while Sam beams a computer-generated spotlight at the BBC’s long-buried kids’ multimedia outfit, Ace Lightning. There’s also our essentially live reactions to the now-infamous “Willy McDuff” scandal from a couple of weeks back. Let the truth be heard that we bought stock early in The Unknown!
It was a day like no other – the winds of trouble blew into my office like a nightmare, and it’d take one hell of a pinch to wake me. The case was double dutch all the way down; pages and pages of total madness. Our first informant, Sam, re-briefed us on one hell of a bad memory from ‘93 – the disastrous alliance of the Philips and Nintendo families. Then, the vigilante David turned the tables – promising us they could finally bring down the Hollywood Noire syndicate with one unassuming link. Could these two crazies have a point? Would it be worth risking it all in the pursuit of justice? What’s that old saying – “where there’s smoke…”?
