Episode 33: The After Aftermath (Children of Auron)

Basically every episode after aftermath is the after aftermath.

I cut out a 40 second argument about the introduction this week, can you believe we actually argued about how to introduce the show this week? Ok it wasn’t really an argument, more of a humorous discussion. But anyway, it’s Children of Auron, written by Roger Parkes and aired on February 19, 1980.

Show-notes:

9:41 Ginkgo biloba is a plant from east Asia that has been used to improve memory. Dunno if it actually works though.
12:02 Yzma is the villain from the Emperor’s New Groove, a documentary about llamas.
22:34 It was Star Trek v: The Final Frontier
23:47 Check out Trust Your Doctor, our Doctor Who podcast.
47:56 NASA was officially founded as NASA in 1958.
48:46 You can google Blake’s 7 scripts and find them. I did. Here’s the script for Dawn of the Gods. It’s spelled “herculanium.”

198: You Ood What You Gotta Ood (Planet of the Ood)

More ood, more problems.

This week we visit the Sense Sphere again. Well. Sort of. We kind of come close, like the same solar system so that’s pretty close in my mind. And the Ood come back, which I guess means the Sensorites and the Ood are related somehow? It’s Planet of the Ood, written by Keith Temple and aired on April 19, 2008.

Show-notes:

0:28 Back at it again with the 3 year old memes.

Episode 14: Blake’s on a Plane (Redemption)

I’m tired of this monday to… wait I’ve used this before.

This week we move from Series A into Series B, which means we’re past a quarter way now. This are going to get pretty different around here, we’ve finally gotta Terry Nation out of the writer’s chair, just not yet. No, first we have to wipe out all possibility of backstory for the Liberator. It’s Redemption, written by Terry Nation and aired on January 9, 1979.

Show-notes:

13:21 What does God need with a starship? Heck if I know.
32:11 Another Star Trek thing, the Borg are cyborgs I guess. Possibly kind of like the Voord from Doctor Who. The more detailed Big Finish Voord I mean. Not the guys in wetsuits Voord from Key of Marinus.
40:40 Mostly Made Up Doctor Who Episode Guide is one of the best Doctor Who podcasts ever. Too bad I had to unsubscribe since they thought 42 was just ok.
44:48 If you somehow don’t know, Radio Free Skaro is probably the most popular/famous Doctor Who podcast out there.
44:57 Here’s the Suzan Farmer “tribute” thing.
45:41 Check out Triple Play, a podcast where we discuss movie trilogies.
47:07 Also check out Trust Your Doctor, our Doctor Who podcast.

Episode 4: Step Up Your Terrorism Game (Time Squad)

I think we need to reevaluate our jokes.

Terry Nation has, predictably, already run out of ideas. It’s only episode 4! It gets even worse next week, episode 5 he somehow rips off all sorts of nonsense. Man this show went downhill fast. It’s Time Squad, written by Terry Nation and aired on January 23, 1978.

Show-notes:

0:39 Lot of good stuff, including Face of Evil and Shaaaadaaaaaaa.
27:42 According to Wikipedia, a black box is “a device, system, or object which can be viewed in terms of” oh wow I’m already bored.

122: Clocks Everywhere (Kinda)

But there’s still never enough time.

This week we kinda liked the serial. Just kinda though, not a lot or anything. Kinda was kinda written by Christopher Bailey and aired in February of 1982.

Show-notes:

0:48 These things here. They’re chocolate eggs with toys inside. Apparently they’ve been banned in the U.S. for a while, but I remember eating them (or something like them) all the time as a kid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1:29 This was the image I saw, but just googling it brought up much larger trees. Some of the characters might be from the new Lion Guard cartoon, which is a midquel to the wildly-popular Lion King II: Simba’s Pride. (Some hardcore Lion King fans out there might even remember that movie’s less-known predecessor, simply titled The Lion King.)
9:12 We never ended up getting there, so here’s a side-by-side comparison of the original snake and the new cgi snake they created for the DVD release. You may have to pause to get a good glimpse of it.
10:00 Bok.
10:07 It was Bok.
10:09 He did. It was Bok.
31:48 It’s from Buddhism.
