273: Only Kids Love Bugs (Knock Knock)

Sorry entomologists, I really hate to break this to you.

I always thought it was going to be four knocks, you know? Like, knock knock knock knock. At least that’s what that weird fortune teller told us it was going to be. But I guess the Twelfth Doctor only requires half as many knocks. I wonder what that says about him.  It’s Knock Knock, written by Mike Bartlett and aired on May 6, 2017.


Show-notes:


3:35 I think this is the album version of Song for Ten. This is the tv version for comparison. Also I can’t believe the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon was also officially released.
4:33 Reach across the stars with our new science fiction podcast Inevitable. We’re watching Star Cops for season 1.
5:25 Palm Jumeirah is a series of artificial islands made to look like palm trees.
10:24 For our first watch of Troll 2, check out our Triple Play episode on the Troll “series”
16:59 It was way more than $600.
17:27 I guess Van Halen really didn’t like brown m&ms.
24:49 Yeah they eat wood.
31:58 It was Disturbia.
36:52 More on the Trump Nickelback meme fiasco
45:31 Here’s our Star Wars Holiday Special episode if you’re interested.

223: The Many Personalities of John Nathan-Turner (The Doctor’s Wife) Ft. Argy

I have more questions than answers right now.

This week we’re joined for our first crossover of the reboot. I think. I’m pretty sure. I’d check but I’m sure enough that  I’m not going to. Just trust me on this one, I’m really certain of it. It’s The Doctor’s Wife, written by Neil Gaiman and aired on May 14, 2011.


Show-notes:


0:33 Argy also joined us on Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
3:33 One of Neil Gaimain’s first huge success was Sandman. He has also written books like American Gods, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, and Good Omens with Terry Pratchett.
15:14 The Goodies and Space 1999 are British tv shows.
21:01 Red Dwarf is yet another British tv show that people have also recommended to us.
33:08 Neither I nor Dylan could find the Day of the Doctor featurette, but I did find this completely unrelated article from the Winnipeg Sun about a doctor who makes house calls on a motorcycle.
58:41 Michael Pickwoad did all of Peter Capaldi’s Tardis interiors and Matt Smith’s second one.
1:02:53 We reached out to Neil Gaiman on Twitter and he said he didn’t know about Nineveh.
1:10:31 The entire brutal conversation between Pip and Jane Baker and Chris Chibnall.
1:19:02 Contact is a 1997 movie starring Jodie Foster and directed by Robert Zemeckis.

Episode 34: My Day is Ruined and My Disappointment is Immeasurable (Rumours of Death)

The only thing that could possibly improve my mood is watching Blake’s 7.

We are quickly moving towards the end of this podcast. Can you believe it? Zenith will end at some point, it will actually be the first of our podcasts to end. Brilliant! Wait, no. Also, did you know, the title of this story and the quote in it are from Mark Twain? “The reports of my death was an exaggeration.” Which often gets misquoted as “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” It’s Rumors of Death, written by Chris Boucher and aired on February 25, 1980.


Show-notes:


12:44 Something tells me he’s the senate.
14:27 Not the new, good Ocean’s 11. The old, bad one.
16:38 I know you want to wash down these creme de menthe frosting brownies with a nice swig of amarula.
58:04 NASA first became NASA in 1958.
58:27 Example of a P-59.
58:45 BAM. It’s called a “gothic delta.” Thank me later for that juicy bit of info.
59:54 Launching the Pilot does review pilots and first episodes. Here’s their Podbean page.

201: The Wasp in the Study with the Lead Pipe (The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Look out! A Wasp!

At the end of this recording session, around 1 in the morning, after recording Zenith, we both walked to our cars. We looked at each other, dead inside, dead on the outside. Just dead all around. “Never again.” It’s The Unicorn and the Wasp, written by Gareth Roberts and aired on May 17, 2008.


Show-notes:


2:36 Cluedo is the original name. According to Wikipedia, it’s a play on the words “clue” and “ludo” which means “I play” in Latin. It was changed to Clue in North America because over here the traditional game of Ludo is known as Parcheesi, so most people wouldn’t get the reference.
4:30 Unicron.
5:12 Ego the Living Planet is a sentient planet from Marvel. I don’t read comics and I try to stay away from comic book movies but I think this guy was in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2.
5:25 We have a Blake’s 7 podcast called Zenith. It’s alright.
14:57 The Last Man wasn’t Mary Shelley’s second book. I’ve never read this thing at apparently it was mostly ignored in favor of Frankenstein, but it’s starting to get a lot more attention recently.
19:51 According to these bee and wasp articles, wasps can’t grow their stingers back.
21:24 This is what wasp hives look like. Not as cool as bee hives. Another category wasps completely fail in when put up against bees.
23:52 Here’s how you make a Harvey Wallbanger.
32:53 It was actually a mental disability basketball team, but same deal.Spain confirmed for huge cheaters. (Couldn’t find the article.)
34:05 Arsene Lupin is just some guy.
