ADDRIIIICCCCC. (This is a reference to Rocky.)

This week we’ve come Full Circle. Yes, we’re right where we started. Where was this start? Well, hell if I know. But it’s right here. Right here, where we’ve come Full Circle, thanks to Andrew Smith. The serial aired in October and November of 1980.


Show-notes


05:10 The staple crop on Alzarius is called riverfruit. Like everything in the Doctor Who universe, riverfruit has its own wiki page.
07:11 Peter Howell’s site, which hasn’t been updated in 4 years. Here’s the page on his work for the BBC.
12:26 The Right Stuff (1983) is the film that popularized the power walk. Here’s the clip.
12:45 G.I. Joe is a line of dolls action figures from Hasbro.
13:04 Trump.
17:23 The Rambo films star Sylvester Stallone. They should star K9 though.
19:29 Those were actually riverfruit, not spider eggs. The spiders use the fruit to incubate their eggs during mistfall. Our bad.
25:27 Dexter’s Laboratory is a cartoon that follows the adventures of boy-genius Dexter.
