Naked Gun

Aren’t all guns naked?

I don’t really know what to write for this description in all honesty. I dunno. These movies were pretty funny, I guess, well the first one was anyway. After that I don’t think they were that great, and I don’t really know how to be funny about them here because it’s been so long since I’ve seen them I can’t even remember anything about the third one. Whatever. It’s the Naked Gun trilogy.

9:22: Everybody should watch Ridley Scott’s movie Thelma and Louise.
15:58: Here’s the wikipedia page on Ruthless People
18:17: Pretty sure the quote that I’m reading is from this LA Times article.
18:48: Guess what, that reboot we’re talking about (more details here) was never brought to fruition.
25:36: Here’s the usual wikipedia source, this time for Snakes on a Plane.
28:41: Eat it apparently won a Grammy and everything, wow!
33:53: Here’s a link to the documentary on the making of naked gun 2 that I’m talking about.
39:22: In a somewhat humorous twist of fate, I still haven’t watched Ghost, even though it’s been two years since we recorded this episode.

The Animated Netflix Godzilla Trilogy

Something something Blue Oyster Cult.

This week we watched those random animated Godzilla movies that were released on Netflix. I feel like they flew under the radar, a bit, but here we are, Triple Play, the biggest podcast in the world, shining a light on it. That’s right, if it blows up tomorrow you know why. It’s Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle and Godzilla: The Planet Eater

2:45: Mothra was released in 1961. Mothra is my favourite kaiju.
6:53: Pretty sure, yes, this is the most recent thing we’ve watched for Triple Play.
21:26: Good thing for you I have the link to this exact interview in japanese.
21:58: Here’s the little booklet you got with the theatrical release of this movie.
23:50: Godzilla: Singular Point has been out for two years now, but had only released two days before we recorded this episode.
34:24: I couldn’t find the Washington post article, but I have the link to the article that quotes the Washington Post article.
44:43: Check out Trust Your Doctor: A Doctory Who Podcast
49:06: Since watching this movie I’ve learned that most animated movies have multiple “angles” where the different angle is just different language signs.
50:49: Apparently they do really like to use English as a decoration in Japan. There’s more details at this CNN article.
1:04:12: If you’re ok with shelling out for the Japanese collector’s edition, these movies have since been released on Blu-Ray. Here’s The Planet Eater (the best one duh) on Amazon.
1:06:25: Speaking of the Planet Eater, here’s the poster.
1:07:28: Compare that to this masterpiece for Inferno, the best Robert Langdon movie.
1:09:40: Or this distractingly bad composite poster for Spider Man: Homecoming.
1:14:50: I guess Legendary and Toho figured out their rights kerfuffle, since a sequel to Godzilla vs Kong is coming out called Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Can’t wait for it to bomb.

Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy

I like ice cream actually.

Triple Play returns from the dead (ironically) to shamble (unironically) towards a middling and mediocre conclusion followed by a spectacle no one will soon forget. Man it was so weird getting back into editing this. Felt like having to relearn a skill I had long since forgotten. Anyway, this was recorded in June 2021, hopefully nothing aged poorly. It’s The Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End.

0:37: “We’re back again with Triple Play” This aged amazingly.
1:08: Try negative 2% chance.
1:33: Idk check out Trust Your Doctor and Inevitable I guess.
5:57: This reminds me that I never put any of these movies into my letterboxd.
7:17: Here’s a link to Nestle drumsticks, since British people probably don’t get them, and since listening to this made my mouth water.
12:23: Apparently, yes, George Romero missed references to his own movies in Shaun of the Dead.
17:33: Here’s a link to You’ve Got Red on You on amazon.
30:30: I guess Callan counts as a cop show.
33:30: A lot of what’s being said about Hot Fuzz comes from this summary of the commentary.
40:51: This Cornetto anecdote is relayed in Slash Film.
43:11: This information about the creation of The World’s End is in this article from Empire Online. There’s also this additional article from from The Star.
1:12:30: I’m reading off details from the Filming section of the Transformers: The Last Knight wikipedia page.
1:24:53: Definitely do not think we will be recording email inserts but you can try.

Some other random links:

NPR on The World’s End
The Guardian about Shaun of the Dead
Mental Floss about Shaun of the Dead

The End…?

It’s really here. The end of the first era of Trust Your Doctor. Stay tuned to find out if the show regenerates just as the Doctor does.

To peel back the curtain just a touch, it’s normally me (Dylan) who writes these descriptions. I don’t know really what to say so instead I’ll quote Brian May at Wembley: “I don’t have very much to say, so thank you very much for coming […] you’re great. We love ya.”

As Dylan just wrote in the above paragraph, I (Kiyan) don’t typically contribute to these intros, so I’m not exactly sure what to say either. But as Fall Out Boy once said, “Thnks fr the mmrs.”

Show-notes:
2:55: For one final time, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
13:47: Here’s a good blog post on “the Kurosawa method.”
16:00: Check it our supremely unsuccessful movie trilogy podcast Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast. Or don’t. I can’t control what you do.
19:07: Funhaus is actually still really funny, and I’d recommend them if you’re looking for lets players. I just don’t watch them regularly anymore.
30:15: You can read my (Dylan’s) 2021 NanoWrimo Novel “Psychic” over at my website.
37:22: Here, I’ll link straight to our video episode for you. Amazingly it has almost 350 views. (I (Kiyan) am absolutely not going to click this. Don’t even want to see one second of it. lol.)
43:00: The old logo is actually not on the website, so here it is.
43:45: Check out Dylan’s write-ups about the original Prisoner video game, the first of which you can find here.
49:35: That fan fiction reading is still up on our feed, so be sure to check that out. (Will not be linked here. Lel. -Kiyan)
1:35:30: Around 2:25 in this clip. The scene keeps a number of actors and props lucid despite the camerawork.
1:27:30: Our segment on Blue Box Podcast was on Doctor in Distress. You can hear it on that episode at the timestamp ~ 3:27:17
2:05:30: I’ll just link to the Last of the Gadarene episode for you.

352: Really Say Goodbye (The Power of the Doctor)

This week we return to the podcast that kicked off everything. It’s the moment that started everything, Trust Your Doctor, coming back for its triumphant…. death. It’s the beginning of the end but the moment has been prepared for, but only as far as we usually prepare on Decorative Vegetable podcasts. It’s The Power of the Doctor, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 23, 2022

Show-notes:
0:54 The Monoids appeared in The Ark.
1:58: We watched classic sci-horror series Children of the Stones on Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, a classic sci-fi podcast that you should check out if you’re looking for a classic sci-fi podcast, like classic sci-fi, and/or like podcasts.
2:05: Check out fellow Doctor Who podcasts Krynoid Podcast and Flight Through Entirety. You’ll be glad you did.
6:25: If this is your first time hearing that Doctor Who is going to be a coproduction with Disney+, then I’m so sorry.
29:17: The Cyberium was introduced in The Haunting of Villa Diotati. The bulk of our show-notes on this show are links to the TARDIS wiki lol.
37:00: The King’s Man didn’t feature Ra Ra Rasputin… I was very sad.
49:52: Tom Baker is 88 years old. You can see him looking quite frail in this interview from a year ago.
52:23: I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn’t even matter.
1:10:40: We actually did go back and rewatch this 1 minute segment and The Master really did just control the Qurunx, somehow.
1:15:0: Check out this picture for yourself… at the TARDIS wiki.
1:48:36: His name was Tosin Cole, and we should be ashamed for forgetting. (editor’s note: I mean I looked it up like one minute after this…)

UFO 26: The Long Sleep ft. Steven Shinder

Speaking of long sleeps, it’s time for the podcast to rest.

I need a long sleep right now to be honest. I caught a cold a day after recording this and my brain is in so much pain right now it’s insane. About ready to pass out right now but I’m waiting for the episode to upload. The things I do for the fans. It’s The Long Sleep, written by David Tomblin and aired on August 7, 1971.

Show-notes:
1:35: Check out our longest-running podcast, Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast.
2:15: Check out our most middling podcast, Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.
8:30: Cyril Schaps was an actor with a rather distinctive look.
31:52: I don’t even know what Steven said, so good luck Kiyan. (Editor’s note: He said “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” which is apparently a song and not an expletive. I can’t verify whether it really sounded like this because I could only listen to about 10 seconds of this before my ears started to bleed.)
35:15: Some AI won an art contest and people got pissed. I’m just here for the schadenfreude.
54:42: This six deadliest earthquakes since 1950 according to Britannica.

Here’s links to all of Steven’s stuff:

UFO 25: The Responsibility Seat

You could argue that I (Dylan) have the responsibility seat, since I edit these shows every week.

I actually recently adjusted my chair and have massively improved my seating arrangement. My arms can rest a little more naturally on the table now, instead of feeling like they’re at my shoulders all the time. It’s so much easier to type and just do things in general at my desk. It’s The Responsibility Seat, written by Tony Barwick and aired on July 31, 1971.

Show-notes:
19:45: We’re about to talk about Ayshea pretty extensively, so I’ll just preemptively link her Wikipedia page, as well as the wikipedia page for her television show, Lift Off with Ayshea. To add insult to injury, I guess, if this random guy is anything to go by we’ve been saying her name wrong for 25 weeks. It’s “Ay-shah”.
21:50: Teaboo is a slang term for someone obsessed with British culture.
30:35: Why is the GCHQ so generically named? The world may never know.
40:29: Who Dares Wins, therefore who wins dares.
1:01:14: Check out Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast, our Doctor Who podcast. There’s only like one episode left of it at time of writing lol.
1:07:24: We didn’t discuss this on air, but yes, the plans to review the UFO audio are most likely scrapped, unless Kiyan changes his mind for some reason.
1:11:19: Listen to our friends over at Flight Through Entirety at their website.

UFO 24: Reflections in the Water

The past few days I’ve spent a lot of time contemplating life, staring at my reflection.

I used to have a fish pond at my parents house. It was filled with Koi. They used to stay pretty small since it was a small pond, and they’d eat the algae at the bottom. Sadly most of them are dead now, because of a stork that kept coming through and eating them. It’s Reflections in the Water, written by David Tomblin and aired on July 24, 1971.

Show-notes:
9:43: This little piece of trivia comes directly from the Gerry Anderson wiki page on Reflections in the Water.
19:00: The fact that this is the last episode broadcast somehow seems remarkably prescient given the announcement at the end of our episode. (Editor’s note: *shrieking emoji*)
24:56: We revisited Keys of Marinus at one point, and you should go and check it out.
25:11: I genuinely don’t know which Blake’s 7 episode Kiyan is talking about. I mean, I remember it, I just don’t remember the name at all. (Editor’s note: I’m pretty sure it was Dawn of the Gods. Also, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.)
38:00: I’ll let Kiyan link this one. Gotta give him something to do. (Editor’s note: here it is, Jaden’s legendary tweet. One for the ages if we’re being honest.)
43:40: Check out our Doctor Who podcast, Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast. While it lasts.
45:21: Dylan commentary: I’m emotional just editing this episode and I’ve gotta do this another four more times still. (Editor’s note: buckle up.)

UFO 23: Sound of Silence

The real sound of silence is how crappy Kiyan’s audio is this week.

Something something I could make a song reference here but it just seems too easy so why would I do that? Instead I’m just going to ramble at length about literally nothing. Just kidding, I won’t do that. Instead I’ll just end this description here. It’s The Sound of Silence written by David Lane and Bob Bell and aired on July 17, 1971.

Show-notes:
14:10: Based on these pictures of collies, it probably was a collie.
19:59: For more on Blake’s 7, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
21:12: The Box of Delights was an adptation of a fantasy novel, so it makes sense Kiyan would watch it. (Editor’s note: What, why?) Also, join me in the reignition of my PTSD with the outro theme and credits from Come Back Mrs Noah.
24:50: The site is actually called “does the dog die?” and it has way more than just whether or not the dog dies.
30:28: Don’t it.
52:46: Star Maidens is a British-German science-fiction show…

UFO 22: Confetti Check A-OK

The More Things Change, The More They Come in Clutch.

When I have parties at the airport they always make me do a confetti check when I leave. It’s required! I have to go through the metal detector, then the wand, then an x-ray machine, then an air blower, then a magnet… look it’s a whole process to get all the confetti out. Don’t even ask why it’s necessary because I don’t know. It’s Confetti Check A-OK written by Tony Barwick and aired on July 10, 1971.

Show-notes:
25:23: Don’t worry the Gerry Anderson wiki is here with everything you want to know (and more) about Henderson.
30:31: Why do we hear our own voices deeper? CNN has all the answers.
53:12: Something something Stranger Things affects our music taste.
56:30: I didn’t even bother to find the tweet I was talking about.
1:03:20: According to Libsyn we have 91 episodes of Inevitable (if you include this one). Also I said Children of the Stones when I meant Childhood’s End.
