300: We’re Gluttons for Punishment (Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD)

This is episode 300. 300!

This week we continue to avoid starting Tochwood, and then even come up with more ways to avoid Torchwood for the next coming weeks! Can you believe that? Because honestly I can’t. I’m amazed we’ve been able to do that somehow. It only comes at the expense of revisiting all of our most derided episodes… It’s Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD, directed by Gordon Flemying and released on August 5, 1966.

Show-notes:

2:24 David Whitaker was credited with “Additional Material.”
7:37 See for yourself: I.M. Foreman on the Tardis Wiki. He isn’t “technically” a time lord, but come on. He has regenerations and everything.
13:32 The future is now, old man.
17:18 I was wrong. The Dalek Invasion of Earth took place in 2164.
21:10 Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
31:15 I’ll never not be amazed that this is how British money used to work.

299: Slowly Perishing Rubber 1965 Dalek Outfit ft. Brendan and Nathan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)

Somehow we found more content to cover.

This week we set the time scoop to “random” and are joined by surprise guests Brendan and Nathan of the fabulous Flight Through Entirety podcast (among other achievements). I think we always knew that somehow we’d cover this movie, somewhere, and so we figured why the hell not, lets do it now. Besides, it’s not like there’s anything else left for us to cover, I say, staring conspicuously at Torchwood sitting in the corner. It’s Dr. Who and the Daleks, directed by Gordon Flemying and released on August 23, 1965.

Show-notes:

18:50 Here’s Flight Through Entirety’s episode on The Doctor’s Daughter.
1:29:28 If you don’t know what Celestial Toyroom is (I didn’t), here’s what Celestial Toyroom is.
1:48:40 Brendan and Nathan’s other projects include: Flight Through Entirety (a Doctor Who podcast), Bondfinger (an MST3K-style James Bond podcast), and Brandy Bongos.

Once Upon A Time…

Both Kiyan and I are upstanding citizens, I swear.

Sergio Leone returns to Triple Play with a vengeance! With this, both Kiyan and I can officially say we’ve seen every Leone movie except for that one that no one really knows. So really we’re basically Leone experts now. I’d suggest we just shut the podcast down now but what’s the fun in that? I think the podcast will continue, anyhow… It’s Once Upon a Time in the West, Duck You Sucker! and Once Upon a Time in America.

297: Jodie’s Hands ft. Keith (The Haunting of Villa Diodati)

Our first brand new guest in like…. ages!

I honestly thought that the name of the group of people in this episode was the Villa Diodati, not the name of the house. So it came as quite a shock when doing research for this episode and I realized it was the name of the place. It should have been obvious in hindsight with the double l but alas. It’s The Haunting of Villa Diodati. written by Maxine Alderton and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 16, 2020.

Show-notes:

13:38: Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
20:00: They did get married eventually.
28:34: Ok so apparently what happened was that it was mistakenly attributed to Byron but it looks like Byron never pretended it was his.
34:09: Behold the glory of thirteenshands.

Fred

Take a trip down YouTube memory lane.

This week we decided to give Lucas Cruikshank some money. I’m sure he’s really hurting in this time, probably nearly broke, probably has no idea what to do with his life. And now he’s stuck at home, not much to do. Oh god is Fred gonna come back? No please don’t. Lucas, your time has come and has gone and there is no more requirement for it in the world. Please just. Let us review your movies and lets forget this all happened. It’s Fred…

Show-notes:

10:28 It was Derf Films, Varsity Pictures, and The Collective (now part of German company ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE).
18:25 Animal Kingdom is from TNT.

Despicable Me

Surrealism is making a come back.

I know we joke a lot in this episode as well as this description about this franchise being surrealist and also a masterpiece, but go back and watch it. Seriously, go back and watch it through the lens of them being a compilation of surrealist movie experiments and suddenly it all becomes weird as heck. I know this is more than likely not what they were going for at all, but it cannot be ignored. It just can’t! It’s Despicable Me.

Show-notes:

294: The Haunting of Vila Restal ft. Argy (Fugitive of the Judoon)

The crossover we’ve all been waiting for.

I was a fugitive once. The cops came to my house, told me I was wanted for stealing toilet paper during a time of crisis. I, of course, denied it and jumped out the window. Pretty sure I broke my ankle on the way down but I didn’t have time to verify. Some say I’m still running to this day, although I think the police have other toilet paper thieves on their hands now. It’s Fugitive of the Judoon written by Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall and aired on January 26, 2020.

Show-notes:

18:44: Pretty sure there was something wrong with the call here, which is why Argy couldn’t hear us I think. Happens once again later too.
35:39: 50dw50 on twitter
42:15: The greatest thing we’ve ever done
50:50: Here’s an article about Porsche and the nazis. Also Hitler was involved in the production of the Volkswagen Beetle.
1:20:01: The origins of “going ham”
1:27:55: Here’s the video of Chibnall telling Pip and Jane Baker what he thinks of Terror of the Vervoids.
1:40:15: Here’s an article about Wikipedia editors editing Bloomberg’s death into his wiki page. Wikipedia editors are some of the most dangerous and unhinged people out there.
1:48:00: More about the 2038 thing that’s gonna screw us all over… if corona doesn’t do that first…

293: Emotional Support Companion (Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror)

Bring back K9.

This week on Trust Your Doctor: every single person you ever thought was a hero is actually a terrible person. Who could have guessed that? Not me, not you, not anyone close to these people who have been warning us for years and only just now got heard because said person is all of a sudden famous. No certainly not them. It’s Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror written by Nina Métivier and aired on January 19, 2020.

Show-notes:

2:45: The “Why would ________ do this?” meme (mixed in this example with the all time classic “Bush did 9/11” meme).
4:09: The Current War. You know a movie’s good when its Wikipedia article starts with “[name of movie] is a 2017/2019 American historical drama”
15:14: Check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, our movie trilogy podcast.
17:30: Well here’s Dylan’s twitter. I don’t know whether he actually posted the “barcodes” as “planned,” but if he did that’s where they would be.
19:05: It would’ve been the Austro-Hungarian krone I guess. Or maybe the Austrian shilling? I dunno.
29:10: It was The Underwater Menace.
35:27: 5 seconds on google told me it was Margaret Hamilton.

Men in Black

You won’t even remember this episode when it’s done.

I tried to dress up like the men in black once. Unfortunately I didn’t have a tailored suit so it looked pretty shitty, you know, but at least I tried. I’m not actually sure if this story is even true anymore because I’m pretty sure I had my mind erased after. So it’s just kind of fragments that I have floating around in my mind that I’m trying to assemble into a coherent story. It’s Men in Black.

Show-notes:

6:50 When we watched Insidious.
