Redux 1: A Little Religious Strife Never Hurt Anyone (The Massacre)

This week the meme comes… Full Circle.

We have returned to the site of our greatest defeat to try once again. The serial where we have broken so far from common accepted fan criticism. And we stand here, upon the ruins of our empire, to say… We were right all along. It’s The Massacre… again. Written by John Lucarotti and Donald Tosh and aired between February 5th and 26th, 1966.

Show-notes:

0:55: I couldn’t find which one it was. If anyone knows, let us know. =
12:25: When I said “medieval times” here, I meant Medieval Times, the American dinner theater thingamajig. Still wonder why and how Medieval Times exists and is successful sometimes, but hey.
32:06: Yeaaaahhh, can’t find the comment from Peter Purves either. So don’t take my word for it.

300: We’re Gluttons for Punishment (Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD)

This is episode 300. 300!

This week we continue to avoid starting Tochwood, and then even come up with more ways to avoid Torchwood for the next coming weeks! Can you believe that? Because honestly I can’t. I’m amazed we’ve been able to do that somehow. It only comes at the expense of revisiting all of our most derided episodes… It’s Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD, directed by Gordon Flemying and released on August 5, 1966.

Show-notes:

2:24 David Whitaker was credited with “Additional Material.”
7:37 See for yourself: I.M. Foreman on the Tardis Wiki. He isn’t “technically” a time lord, but come on. He has regenerations and everything.
13:32 The future is now, old man.
17:18 I was wrong. The Dalek Invasion of Earth took place in 2164.
21:10 Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
31:15 I’ll never not be amazed that this is how British money used to work.

299: Slowly Perishing Rubber 1965 Dalek Outfit ft. Brendan and Nathan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)

Somehow we found more content to cover.

This week we set the time scoop to “random” and are joined by surprise guests Brendan and Nathan of the fabulous Flight Through Entirety podcast (among other achievements). I think we always knew that somehow we’d cover this movie, somewhere, and so we figured why the hell not, lets do it now. Besides, it’s not like there’s anything else left for us to cover, I say, staring conspicuously at Torchwood sitting in the corner. It’s Dr. Who and the Daleks, directed by Gordon Flemying and released on August 23, 1965.

Show-notes:

18:50 Here’s Flight Through Entirety’s episode on The Doctor’s Daughter.
1:29:28 If you don’t know what Celestial Toyroom is (I didn’t), here’s what Celestial Toyroom is.
1:48:40 Brendan and Nathan’s other projects include: Flight Through Entirety (a Doctor Who podcast), Bondfinger (an MST3K-style James Bond podcast), and Brandy Bongos.

297: Jodie’s Hands ft. Keith (The Haunting of Villa Diodati)

Our first brand new guest in like…. ages!

I honestly thought that the name of the group of people in this episode was the Villa Diodati, not the name of the house. So it came as quite a shock when doing research for this episode and I realized it was the name of the place. It should have been obvious in hindsight with the double l but alas. It’s The Haunting of Villa Diodati. written by Maxine Alderton and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 16, 2020.

Show-notes:

13:38: Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
20:00: They did get married eventually.
28:34: Ok so apparently what happened was that it was mistakenly attributed to Byron but it looks like Byron never pretended it was his.
34:09: Behold the glory of thirteenshands.

Today in Trust Your Doctor, our regular life.

This is truly the end of an era, this is the last TYD episode that will be recorded in the same room for… three months? Who knows how long we’ll be stuck in our homes.

It’s Praxeus written by Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 2, 2020.

294: The Haunting of Vila Restal ft. Argy (Fugitive of the Judoon)

The crossover we’ve all been waiting for.

I was a fugitive once. The cops came to my house, told me I was wanted for stealing toilet paper during a time of crisis. I, of course, denied it and jumped out the window. Pretty sure I broke my ankle on the way down but I didn’t have time to verify. Some say I’m still running to this day, although I think the police have other toilet paper thieves on their hands now. It’s Fugitive of the Judoon written by Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall and aired on January 26, 2020.

Show-notes:

18:44: Pretty sure there was something wrong with the call here, which is why Argy couldn’t hear us I think. Happens once again later too.
35:39: 50dw50 on twitter
42:15: The greatest thing we’ve ever done
50:50: Here’s an article about Porsche and the nazis. Also Hitler was involved in the production of the Volkswagen Beetle.
1:20:01: The origins of “going ham”
1:27:55: Here’s the video of Chibnall telling Pip and Jane Baker what he thinks of Terror of the Vervoids.
1:40:15: Here’s an article about Wikipedia editors editing Bloomberg’s death into his wiki page. Wikipedia editors are some of the most dangerous and unhinged people out there.
1:48:00: More about the 2038 thing that’s gonna screw us all over… if corona doesn’t do that first…

293: Emotional Support Companion (Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror)

Bring back K9.

This week on Trust Your Doctor: every single person you ever thought was a hero is actually a terrible person. Who could have guessed that? Not me, not you, not anyone close to these people who have been warning us for years and only just now got heard because said person is all of a sudden famous. No certainly not them. It’s Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror written by Nina Métivier and aired on January 19, 2020.

Show-notes:

2:45: The “Why would ________ do this?” meme (mixed in this example with the all time classic “Bush did 9/11” meme).
4:09: The Current War. You know a movie’s good when its Wikipedia article starts with “[name of movie] is a 2017/2019 American historical drama”
15:14: Check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, our movie trilogy podcast.
17:30: Well here’s Dylan’s twitter. I don’t know whether he actually posted the “barcodes” as “planned,” but if he did that’s where they would be.
19:05: It would’ve been the Austro-Hungarian krone I guess. Or maybe the Austrian shilling? I dunno.
29:10: It was The Underwater Menace.
35:27: 5 seconds on google told me it was Margaret Hamilton.

292: Green Hams and Eggs (Orphan 55)

Multiple hams at once, just all over.

I wonder what the other 54 orphan planets look like. Do you think they look anything like bombed out earth in the future? Maybe the bombed out shell of Gallifrey was an orphan planet too, and then it become Gallifrey. And the Timelords took its orphan status away. They adopted it. What a good society! It’s Orphan 55 written by Ed Hime and aired on January 12, 2020.

Show-notes:

4:30: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
13:12: Meant to say Happiness Patrol here.
15:52: And here…
19:30: Here’s the “Disney’s Catacombs” creepypasta.
20:50: List of incidents at Disney parks. There are multiple lists to read, so this page collects all of them. Also the movie I was talking about was Escape from Tomorrow. I just read the plot summary on wikipedia and it sounds wild.
27:18: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast
27:47: Apparently the comic story The Glorious Dead does this, though I’m not 100% sure on that.
31:03: Check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast
33:35: Turtle comic thing
42:35: Leo Strauss on wikipedia. Just wanted to link this here since I was too lazy to look up anything else about him myself, so here’s the link if you want to read more yourself.
44:46: The Southern Strategy

290: I Just Literally Don’t Care (Resolution)

Should old Doctors be forgotten?

I only just processed that this was the only episode of Doctor Who that aired in 2019. The one and only single one. Which is a little weird because 2019 was so damn long, at least in my life. And throughout that long span of time there was only one single episode of Doctor Who to keep me sane. Pity. It’s Resolution written by Chris Chibnall and aired on January 1, 2019.

Show-notes:

9:16: More on old style and new style dates. Surprise surprise, we (I) got most of this wrong. Also I mentioned how the shift affected the dates that early U.S. presidents were inaugurated on, but the shift actually came way before that. What I meant to say was that it affects most of the early presidents’ birthdays.
15:05: The entire 2020 state of the union.
34:10: Aaaand of course I can’t find it. I actually looked for more than 30 seconds for once, but nope. I got nothing.
39:11: A Single Man is by Christopher Isherwood.
