249: Step Up Your Sarcasm Game (Deep Breath)

The fourth sequel to the Step Up series.

I was really hoping that this would be episode 250 but none of the numbering worked out for it to be so. I guess episode 250 is just awkwardly going to be the second episode of this season, which would probably bother some people but I’m pretty unconcerned. I’m bummer, to be sure, but nothing more than that. It’s Deep Breath, written by Steven Moffat and aired on August 23, 2014.


Show-notes:


1:49 http://www.shannonsullivan.com/doctorwho/ has tons of production info about classic and modern Doctor Who.
3:04 Video comparison of Billy Henshaw’s original title sequence and the one they used for the 12th Doctor (also created by Billy Henshaw).
4:57 I’m talking about the Thirteenth Doctor’s intro.
10:14 I’m putting an end to this once and for all. It’s 30 St Mary Axe a.k.a. the Swiss Re building, a.k.a. The Gherkin.
12:11 Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith.
22:02 Wow, apparently people knew about cancer like 3000 years ago. And according to the same wikipedia article, the name “cancer” comes from how tumors kind of looked like crabs to the ancient Greeks.
28:14 I looked up widower on Urban Dictionary for you, but it wasn’t really funny or interesting at all. So here’s the definition for pineapple.
44:23 It was @NotTodayThanks3 on Twitter. Also you all should check out Space Fall: A Blake’s 7 podcast for their insightful discussion of the show.

244: Lucasarts Did it First (The Crimson Horror)

One day we’ll be able to prove that, but not today.

When we recorded this there was a bout a 15 minute period where we just got paralyzed with fear. Turns out the Crimson Horror is the lobster we bought as a pet for the podcast. Of course, we’re only ever in the recording room once a week so the poor guy didn’t get much socialization. You might think he died, well actually he just came up with a extremely convoluted plan to overthrow the podcast. It’s The Crimson Horror, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on May 4, 2013.


Show-notes:


0:31 Damn my past self for asking me to link to this.

7:05 Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith.
11:50 Space Fall is a great Blake’s 7 podcast.
