241: Check Out Duran Duran (Cold War)

Only true Duran Duran fans listen to this podcast.

You know, sometimes I wonder how hard it must have been if you were an American or British spy and you were sent into Russia. You have to spend months, if not years, learning Russian, and then you have to perfect it to the point where you have basically no accent at all. And then if you do have an accent, well, good luck buddy you’ll probably get shot on sight. It’s Cold War, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on April 13, 2013.


Show-notes:


1:38 The Seeds of Death was in season 6, The Seeds of Doom was in season 13.
10:38 Ronald Reagan: 1981-1989. George H.W. Bush: 1989-1993. Bill Clinton: 1993-2001.
11:30 It was Yuri Andropov.
16:16 We (I) got some stuff wrong here, but wikipedia has a pretty good article on Japanese holdout. Hiroo Onoda is probably the most famous.
17:00 We also do a movie trilogy podcast called Triple Play.
19:30 According to Manatee-World, manatees can’t live in water below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so there aren’t any arctic manatees.
25:17 It looks like Sony still makes the Walkman as an mp3 player.
34:37 Images of the Cold War playset.
43:17 According to imdb, Jenna Coleman was born on 27 April 1986, making her 32 right now. Her bio doesn’t mention anything about her early life that would be linguistically interesting, so I don’t know what, if anything, is up with her accent.

172: The Sensation of Wet Socks (Boom Town)

How many socks have I lost to the rain?

We’ve engineered the perfect crisis. We’ll just blow this nuclear reactor here, followed by that one there, then launch a space station, then blow it up, then sink half of the eastern seaboard… I’m starting to think this whole making evil plans thing wasn’t as easy as I had originally assumed. It’s Boom Town, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on the 4th of June, 2005.


Show-notes:


6:27 The Wales Millennium Centre. Getting really sick of this “Millennium” huge shiny structure conspiracy.
6:44 The Foreigner. Oops, wrong one.

134: Generic-Looking Piece of Garbage (Warriors of the Deep)

I’ve thrown out way more interesting garbage.

I think, honestly, season 21 burned all of us. No one could have seen this coming. This week we begin the train wreck with Warriors of the Deep, written by Johnny Byrne and aired in January of 1984.


Show-notes:


1:46 Nope, never heard of it.
10:18 Check out Triple Play, our other podcast where we review custom license plates.
10:45 Most people don’t know that skin diving is the national sport of Nepal.
27:42 Ha ha!
