90: There’s a Lot of Hands in This Serial (The Hand of Fear)

Wow, a lot looks really weird in that title.

This week Kiyan and Dylan discuss hands. Like all sorts of hands. Human hands, Kastrian Hands, Sarah Jane’s Hands. Why Sarah Jane’s in particular? Because it’s her final serial, The Hand of Fear, written by Bob Baker and David Martin and aired in October of 1976.

Jurassic Park (book)

Look I have this planned out: watch a video of the book pages flipping, and read the screenplay.

This month, while our loyal fanbase waits for our next trilogy episode, we read Jurassic Park. The Novel. Not the movie. We didn’t find the screenplay and just read that, because that makes no sense and wouldn’t give us any topics for an episode. So while you wait for our next trilogy (coming in November; it’s out of this world.), enjoy this little .5 episode discussing Jurassic Park, by Michael Crichton.

89: Sacrifice Sarah to Davros (The Masque of Mandragora)

All hail the mighty Davros. I think.

This week Kiyan and Dylan accidentally shoe-horn Davros into a non-Dalek serial. Actually, Dylan won’t lie, he chose this title for the sweet, sweet SEO. This week the non-Dalek serial that they covered was The Masque of Mandragora, written by Lewis Marks and aired in September of 1976.

88: Dial Up Saves the Day! (The Seeds of Doom)

Beeeeep boop boop  beeeep.

Disclaimer, what we said about John Leven is based only on stories we’ve seen or read on the internet. They can be faked. Do not necessarily believe everything you hear, it’s possible we (or they) were (and are) wrong.

This week Kiyan and Dylan…. release late, and then silently swear at the cricket on the recording. It stops about 3 minutes in, don’t worry. Well he returns for a short encore or two and then disappears. Maybe he died. Anyway the serial at hand is The Seeds of Doom, written by Robert Banks Stewart and aired in January through March of 1976.

87: Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who 57 (The Brain of Morbius)

They say Steven Moffat is a big contributor to Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who: Greatest Hits Revisted 3.

This week Kiyan and Dylan explain their way through The Brain of Morbius, and successfully avoid accidentally joining a cult. The Brain of Morbius was written by Robert Bland (Terrance Dicks and Robert Holmes), and was aired in January of 1976. Just January.

(Ok so The Eight Leg two parter and the Morbius two parter are different seasons of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, but let’s not forget that a good deal of the other stories are greatest hits revisited too. I.e. the return of the Wirrn, the Zygons, Susan, the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Ice Warriors.)

86: Hotel Doctor Who (The Android Invasion)

So I called up the Doctor. “Please bring me my time.”

He said “I couldn’t get there since 1969.”
And still Sarah is calling from far away.
Wake you up in the middle of the fight,
Just to hear her say…

Help me fight this Android Invasion!
By Terry Nation (By Terry Nation)
The Terry Nation.
Aired in the year Nineteen – Seventy Five
In Late November (In Late November)
Early December.

In case you missed it, this week Kiyan and Dylan discussed The Android Invasion, aired in November and December of 1975 and written by Terry Nation.

85: Rainbow Tunnel of Death (Pyramids of Mars)

The colors! They burn!

This week Kiyan and Dylan make up a new term (biobabble), sort of explore a serial from Doctor Who, and indicate that Kiyan is half asleep. It’s been quite a week. The serial sort of covered this week is Pyramids of Mars, which was written by Stephen Harris (in reality Robert Holmes)  and aired in October and November of 1975.

Jurassic Park

Dun dun, dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun.

On this episode of Triple Play, Kiyan and Dylan explore another movie juggernaut. Last time it was Back to the Future,  this time it’s Jurassic Park. These movies, however, seem to dip in quality far quicker than Back to the Future did. Listen in and take  journey behind the scenes and explore the Jurassic Park trilogy (excluding Jurassic World, of course). Remember, we spared no expense!

A large portion of our information can be found in the DVD extra documentary The Making of Jurassic Park, which can be found on youtube if you have 48 minutes to spare in addition to this hour long podcast.

For information on the special effects and the creation of the dinosaurs, you can read this fascinating article from Empire Magazine’s August 1993 issue.

io9 put together a compilation of behind the scenes videos about the dinosaur puppets in about 2012, which you can find over here.

We briefly touched upon how the film approached the topic of scientifically accurate vs. fictionally exciting dinosaurs. A comprehensive list of scientific inaccuracies can be found at this dinosaur related website here. 

The Lost World: Jurassic Park, besides having a ridiculous name to type out every time, also had an interesting production history which we touched on a bit. A more in-depth look at the creation of the second film can be found here.

Michael Crichton’s website features tidbits of information on the second film, including comments from Michael Crichton himself before he passed in 2008.

Most  of our information on the third film can be seen in this review from Variety that appeared on their website in July of 2001.

The banner for this episode does not use the theatrical release poster for Jurassic Park, as the Back to the Future banner did. This is largely because it features a black background, which is really rather annoying when you need the poster to form a distinctive triangle. This alternate unused poster, created by famed movie poster artist John Alvin (who did the Indiana Jones and E.T. movie posters), was used instead.

84: When The Scarf Hits The Fan (Planet of Evil)

There were little scarf bits everywhere. It was a disaster to clean.

This week Kiyan and Dylan put forward their life’s work in harnessing the power of podcasting. They successfully harness pure podcast ether to create this episode about Planet of Evil, which was written by Louis Marks and aired in September and October of 1975. Watch out, pure podcast ether is toxic in large doses.

Here’s a comparison between greyscale and color images of the Addam’s Family Mansion.

We Don’t Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy

Please lay your cameras at the feet of the all mighty Zemeckis statue.

So this is a rather interesting experiment. Like we said in the episode, we’re putting out these “.5” episodes that serve almost as an addendum to our episodes on the actual movie trilogies. So this week is a bit of a review/overview of We Don’t Need Roads, written by Caseen Gaines and originally published on June 23rd, 2015.

Check out the book (or not?) on Amazon.

Erik Larson’s book The Devil in the White city is a historical novel that investigates both the building of the Chicago World’s Fair and the serial killer H.H. Holmes. You can find it on Amazon.
