295: Anticulture (Praxeus)

Today in Trust Your Doctor, our regular life.

This is truly the end of an era, this is the last TYD episode that will be recorded in the same room for… three months? Who knows how long we’ll be stuck in our homes. Did you know every episode up until this point was recorded in person? And now life is conspiring against us to shut down the podcast. God damn Praxeus… disease bacteria virus thing. It’s Praxeus written by Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 2, 2020.

Show-notes:

20:23: This. This is what Birdemic is about.
23:45: Meant to say “Love and Monsters” here.
36:10: Mr. Burns’ checkup.

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:

7:05 What an experience the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat was.

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.

42:15: The greatest thing we’ve ever done

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:

292: Green Hams and Eggs (Orphan 55)

Multiple hams at once, just all over.

I wonder what the other 54 orphan planets look like. Do you think they look anything like bombed out earth in the future? Maybe the bombed out shell of Gallifrey was an orphan planet too, and then it become Gallifrey. And the Timelords took its orphan status away. They adopted it. What a good society! It’s Orphan 55 written by Ed Hime and aired on January 12, 2020.

Show-notes:

4:30: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
13:12: Meant to say Happiness Patrol here.
15:52: And here…
19:30: Here’s the “Disney’s Catacombs” creepypasta.
20:50: List of incidents at Disney parks. There are multiple lists to read, so this page collects all of them. Also the movie I was talking about was Escape from Tomorrow. I just read the plot summary on wikipedia and it sounds wild.
27:18: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast
27:47: Apparently the comic story The Glorious Dead does this, though I’m not 100% sure on that.

33:35: Turtle comic thing
42:35: Leo Strauss on wikipedia. Just wanted to link this here since I was too lazy to look up anything else about him myself, so here’s the link if you want to read more yourself.

291: Invention Convention ft. JB Anderton (Spyfall)

It’s like a science fair but worse.

Weirdly enough there’s actually a new James Bond movie coming out this year. As in like, for the first time in 5 years there’s a James Bond movie coming to theatres. How do I know it was 5 years? Well because I took my dad for his birthday to see it, and it was a monumental age (no, I won’t tell you what it was though). It’s Spyfall written by Chris Chibnall and aired on January 1 and 5, 2020.

Show-notes:

13:12: The Doctor Who wiki surprisingly doesn’t have a page on left handedness. So instead here’s the page on dates.
22:30: Outside of G.I. Joe, Cobra is like an Austrian military police unit, an Indian police force, and a Serbian military police force.
24:04: It’s not pinned anymore because @Prof_Quiteamess deleted it ;_;
30:38: It was actually steganography. Stenography is something else. According to the Doctor wiki, steganography was only ever mentioned in this episode.
32:11: Here’s Lenny Henry playing the Doctor in 1985. I’ve actually seen this before, but I completely forgot about it.
1:08:30: Check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, that podcast that we’re finally doing again.
1:14:36: Also check out our other podcasts Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast and Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
1:39:20: This is just copied straight from the Doctor Who wiki: “Editing for the DVD release was completed by the Doctor Who Restoration Team. The most prominent of these edits is to the serial’s final scenes, when the freighter crashes into prehistoric earth. The edit mainly revises the scene so that, instead of the TARDIS’s monitor showing a still image of the freighter, followed by several bright flashes (meant to represent the explosion of the impact), the screen actually shows the freighter slamming into the Earth, with the explosion being represented by a pulsating light over the impact site.” This obviously has to do with the DVD release, which came out in like 2003 (so not exactly recently). But I think this might’ve been what people were discussing when it came to the blu ray.
2:16:52: Here’s the discussion that JB mentioned.
2:19:39: And of course just check out WHO 37 in general, and also check out BAT 77 too.

Rocky IV, Rocky V, Rocky VI

So this week we’re dressed up in America shorts while recording.

You’ll just have to trust me on the America shorts, I swear to god we were wearing them when we recorded. Rocky IV is basically the closest America has come to having legitimate propaganda, or at least until Fox News started. Is that joke too political for this podcast? I don’t think it is. It’s Rocky IV-VI, the seminal classics.

Show-notes:

20:41 If you care, here are the highest grossing sports movies ever.
23:58 It’s spelled “Seargeoh.”
52:28 Having read the entire script since this recording was made, I have to agree. It was a waste of time. It was basically just Finding Dory but much worse.

290: I Just Literally Don’t Care (Resolution)

Should old Doctors be forgotten?

I only just processed that this was the only episode of Doctor Who that aired in 2019. The one and only single one. Which is a little weird because 2019 was so damn long, at least in my life. And throughout that long span of time there was only one single episode of Doctor Who to keep me sane. Pity. It’s Resolution written by Chris Chibnall and aired on January 1, 2019.

Show-notes:

9:16: More on old style and new style dates. Surprise surprise, we (I) got most of this wrong. Also I mentioned how the shift affected the dates that early U.S. presidents were inaugurated on, but the shift actually came way before that. What I meant to say was that it affects most of the early presidents’ birthdays.
15:05: The entire 2020 state of the union.
34:10: Aaaand of course I can’t find it. I actually looked for more than 30 seconds for once, but nope. I got nothing.
39:11: A Single Man is by Christopher Isherwood.

289: Star Wars in my Doctor Who? (The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos)

We all saw this coming to be honest.

I’m pretty sure the next season of Clone Wars comes out after this episode of Trust Your Doctor. Or at least the first episode. Maybe we should make a Clone Wars podcast just so that one day we can have the inevitable (ha) title of “Doctor Who in my Star Wars?” For the poetry, of course. It’s The Battle of Ranskoor Av’Kolos written by Chris Chibnall and aired on December 8, 2018.

Show-notes:

6:34: Good
6:51: Can’t find the video 🙁
18:37: The Ux have only appeared in this episode. Also At Childhood’s End just came out like a little over a week ago.
36:23: The villain in Rosa was named Krasko.
37:48: This is the image we were referring to here.
39:39: Even after reading this Know Your Meme entry on “Ugandan Knuckles” I still don’t understand the meme.
40:50: “menschen” is just “people” I’m pretty sure.
