Bonus Episode: Costumes and Cosplay with Kate Kulzick
October 21, 2017 16:46 - 58.3 MBAs part of Alasdair's Chicago visit, we take an hour to talk all about dressing up like Doctor Who characters, and who better to bring in for such a chat than cosplay maestro Kate Kulzick? Alasdair reveals he's doing a Halloween costume for the first time in about 15 years, and he's mostly doing it because it's super easy to justify the 9th Doctor's clothes as stuff he'll just add to his regular wardrobe. We then break down the pros and cons of dressing up like other Doctors, the gendered dif...
Episode 81: “The Sounds Of Drums”/”Last Of The Time Lords” and “The Magician’s Apprentice”/”The Witch’s Familiar”
October 21, 2017 16:30 - 90.5 MBAlasdair is visiting Chicago, so he drops by Allison's place to record an in-person episode. Friend of the show Kate Kulzick joins us for the opening of this, the second edition of our big look at the Master, to discuss the character's origins in the classic series and what has and hasn't carried over to the new series. Then it's just Alasdair and Allison discussing this pair of two-parters, one of which is generally very good with a couple faults here and there, and the other is... ooh boy, ...
Bonus Episode: Series 11 News Brief with Kate Kulzick
October 16, 2017 16:05 - 24.4 MBAlasdair is in Chicago, so he stopped by Allison's apartment to record a bunch of episodes. First up, here's a half-hour's worth of series 11 discussion with friend of the show Kate Kulzick, in which we break down the recent news that incoming showrunner Chris Chibnall is considering a switch to 10 hour-long episodes instead of the traditional 45-minute format. While this sounds like a simple bit of arithmetic, we use this as an excuse to take a deep look at Chibnall's Who resume, the differe...
Episode 80: “Utopia” and “Dark Water”/”Death In Heaven”
October 14, 2017 20:38 - 60.6 MBIt's the first part of our big look at the Master, so basically we're just going to be praising Derek Jacobi and Michelle Gomez for most of the episode. They are just so, so good at what they do, while "Utopia" and "Dark Water"/"Death In Heaven" are a fascinating mix of obvious flaws and sneaky greatness. The series three episode has fun just letting all its continuity collide and discovering character moments amid all the mess, while the series eight two-parter is a little too keen to tell y...
Episode 79: “Planet Of The Dead” and “Time Heist”
October 06, 2017 18:00 - 72 MBFirst up, Pearl Mackie said some stuff about the Christmas special, so our podcast charter requires we drop everything and listen to what the woman behind Bill Potts has to say. Then we take a look at two often overlooked episodes, one of which might be the single most forgettable story in all new Doctor Who. If nothing else, it's got the most ridiculously generic title, which leads to Alasdair listing off equally generic Tom Baker era titles, much to Allison's amusement. We do talk some abou...
Bonus Episode: Big Finish with Kevin Koeser and J.G. McQuarrie
September 30, 2017 20:06 - 82.9 MBThe cohosts of the great new podcast "Talking Who To You" join Alasdair to discuss the Big Finish audios. We offer a beginner-friendly yet still in-depth to the vast world of Doctor Who audios. Which stories should you start with? What should you avoid? We pick some favorite stories and arcs, and we dig into what Big Finish does well and areas where it struggles. If you're at all curious about the audio adventures but aren't sure where to start, this ought to be the podcast for you! And also ...
Episode 78: “The Hungry Earth”/”Cold Blood” and “The Power Of Three”
September 28, 2017 21:04 - 56.1 MBWe take a look at two of Chris Chibnall's more notable contributions to the show before he starts running it next year, even if we do have to negotiate some serious technical difficulties to get through it all. We offer a moderately positive appraisal of the Silurian two-parter, as it's a story that has a lot of neat ideas that it just never quite develops as much as it probably ought to. Still, not bad! And "The Power Of Three" remains a lovely character piece, with one's opinion of it prett...
Episode 77: “Silence In The Library”/”Forest Of The Dead,” “The Wedding Of River Song,” and “The Husbands Of River Song”
September 21, 2017 20:31 - 87.4 MBIt's a River Song-stravaganza! We go deep on all things River Song with a look at adventures she had with three different Doctors: her first and final adventure with the 10th Doctor in the library, her wedding with the 11th Doctor, and her heartbreaking swanswong with the 12th Doctor. There's a lot to love about all these stories, even if "The Wedding Of River Song" does leave Allison feeling deeply grumpy. But mostly we're here to praise these stories and all Alex Kingston brought to the rol...
Episode 76: “Daleks In Manhattan”/”Evolution Of The Daleks” and “Victory Of The Daleks”
September 13, 2017 13:41 - 84.5 MBFirst up, are you in the Chicago area and interested in going to a potential live episode on Saturday, October 14? Let us know if you are! Now, to business: We look at a pair of maligned historical Dalek stories, and we mostly conclude that, yeah, these stories deserve some maligning. "Daleks In Manhattan"/"Evolution Of The Daleks" so obviously wants to be a dumb sci-fi B-movie, but it can't quite find the right way to combine its theoretically weighty subject matter with that sense of fun. A...
Episode 75: “The Next Doctor” and “The Crimson Horror”
September 07, 2017 13:21 - 66.8 MBNo, we didn't think "The Crimson Horror" would be our first repeat episode either, but we're kind of happy about it! After all, it's Allison's first time discussing this 11th Doctor and Clara adventure, and she has plenty to say about Diana Rigg and Rachel Stirling's supporting turns. There's a ton in both episodes about trauma and abuse in the context of stultifying Victorian society, and we dig into some of that. "The Next Doctor" features not one but two lovely Doctor performances by peopl...
Episode 74: “Turn Left” and “Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS”
September 01, 2017 06:11 - 78.6 MBWe open with a lengthy consideration of the rumor that Bradley Walsh could be the new companion, and what a 57-year-old man would be like as part of the TARDIS team. Also, we take a moment to recognize how seriously great the cast of Law and Order: UK was. Then it's debate time, and for the second straight week the series four entry crushes the series 7B contender, as we both admit we have no idea what's going on in "Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS," and not in a cool, "Warriors' Gate" ki...
Bonus Episode: Talking Classic Doctor Who with Kate Kulzick
August 28, 2017 02:49 - 53.8 MBKate Kulzick, the officially recognized Captain Jack Harkness of this podcast, returns to help Alasdair answer a listener's question about how to get into classic Doctor Who! While she admits her advice of "Just watch everything!" might not be the most helpful, we work to break down some of the different strengths and weaknesses of the show's various eras, as well as how to approach watching something that's so completely a product of a different era. We offer some specific story recommendati...
Episode 73: “Midnight” and “Nightmare In Silver”
August 24, 2017 01:19 - 80 MBWe finish up our picks for the best episode of every season by picking one for each year of the Capaldi era, as well as our favorite from all the specials, Christmas or otherwise. Then we do a deep, deep dive into why "Midnight" is so ludicrously good. We've got a lot of thoughts on this! We have somewhat less to say about "Nightmare In Silver," beyond a begrudging, "Eh, this is fine, basically, but it could have been so, so, so much better." Which, as Allison points out, is somehow worse tha...
Episode 72: Picking Each Season’s Best Stories
August 18, 2017 06:40 - 63.7 MBAs promised last week, Allison and Alasdair offer our picks for the best episode of each season... well, we get through the first seven seasons, at any rate. Better than we expected, honestly! Alasdair manages to pull off the seemingly impossible (especially for him) by picking pretty much entirely non-Moffat stories as his favorites from the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors' eras. Will he and Allison agree on their various picks? What do we look for in series-best episodes? All will be revealed!
Episode 71: (Re)introducing a Debater
August 09, 2017 03:20 - 51.5 MBAllison has her computer back, so she takes control of this episode! And after she and Alasdair discuss just how the Doctor remembered Clara at the end of "The Doctor Falls," she turns the tables on her co-host by asking Alasdair the same questions he asked her when she first came aboard. It's a reintroduction for those who don't want to dive all the way back into the show's earliest archives, and an opportunity for longtime listeners to see how Alasdair's thoughts have changed. And then, jus...
Episode 70: “The Shakespeare Code” and “Vincent And The Doctor”
August 02, 2017 14:37 - 70.6 MBWe take a quick moment to discuss our ever more ridiculous raft of technical difficulties, then consider the trailer for the 12th Doctor's swansong, "Twice Upon A Time." After that, we're onto our very first debate of this new era with a pair of celebrity historicals. Spoiler alert: One of these absolutely trounces the other. Allison nerds out over how "The Shakespeare Code" could be so much more Shakespearean than it actually is, and we discuss the episode's glib handling of being a person o...
Episode 69: The 13th Doctor and Representation, Revisited
July 28, 2017 04:08 - 52.2 MBWe table our story debate for a week as Allison continues to deal with two (2!) broken computers, but there's still plenty to talk about as we foolishly record a couple hours before Doctor Who's Comic Con panel. We talk about how the endless Kris Marshall casting rumors may just be coming from Kris Marshall himself at this point. We wonder who Mark Gatiss might be playing in the Christmas special. And then we devote most of the episode to reading an amazing email from listener Sam, who discus...
Episode 68: Jodie Whittaker Is The 13th Doctor!
July 17, 2017 02:27 - 65.2 MBWe just couldn't wait to give our thoughts on today's big announcement. Allison recounts exactly how she found out Jodie Whittaker is the first female Doctor, then she and Alasdair discuss why this is exciting and what this could mean for the future of the show. We got a whole bunch of emails from listeners with their overwhelmingly positive takes, and it guides us through a discussion of what we might expect from the 13th Doctor's stories, costume, companion(s), and more!
Episode 67: Series 10 Postmortem with Caroline Siede
July 17, 2017 01:58 - 108 MBOriginal cohost Caroline Siede joins Alasdair to offer her takes on series 10! She didn't connect with this series as strongly as we did, and we try to tease out why. This is a broad, wide-ranging conversation that looks at what exactly is the current Doctor's arc, how he compares with his new series predecessors, how to think about representation in terms of the 13th Doctor's casting (which we didn't know was imminent when we recorded this episode), and a whole bunch of other things!
Bonus Episode 2: Caroline Siede returns to talk Class!
July 13, 2017 14:00 - 67.1 MBThat’s right everyone, Caroline is back, as we unlock another premium bonus episode! Alasdair exploited a loophole when she said she was done debating Doctor Who by bringing her in to debate Class instead. We’re mostly agreed on the big takeaways: The cast is great! The show’s approach to diversity and representation is a major strength! My goodness are the Shadow Kin the worst monsters in the entire history of all Doctor Who shows, no seriously they’re bad! While we do spoil some kinda major...
Episode 66: Series 10 Mailbag
July 12, 2017 18:22 - 74.4 MBWe built up a big backlog in our inbox, so it’s high time to sort through them. We wonder whether the first Doctor will want to regenerate any more than the incumbent does in the Christmas special. What could the future hold for Peter Capaldi, assuming he really truly is leaving and this isn’t all a big fakeout? (It isn’t, but it’s quite a thought.) We read an email with some sharp critiques of Steven Moffat’s treatment of women characters, especially companions. All that and more as Alasdair...
Episode 65: “The Doctor Falls”
July 07, 2017 00:00 - 66.2 MBSorry for the delay on posting this. We'd say we spaced because of the Independence Day holiday, but doesn't really seem like us. Anyway, Alasdair and Allison try to get their energy up for an early Saturday recording. It's a more manageable task, admittedly, with an episode as good as this one, which mostly addresses Allison's concerns about Bill from "World Enough And Time." We talk about the joys of multi-Master storytelling, take a look at how Bill and Nardole's stories ended up, and cons...
Episode 64: “World Enough And Time”
June 28, 2017 04:39 - 93.8 MBWe do what we probably should have been doing from the start and jump straight into discussing the episode, as Allison has some potentially serious issues with "World Enough And Time." Does this episode make the same mistake in its handling of Bill that Sherlock did with one of its female characters? We'll have to wait for "The Doctor Falls" to find out, but Allison is worried. Alasdair is generally feeling better about the episode (which means we got our second straight debate, hooray!), esp...
Bonus Episode 1: Patron Mailbag
June 23, 2017 05:16 - 95.1 MBWe’re unlocking our first exclusive episode, in which we answer all your questions. We do some fantasy casting of a new TARDIS team from previous guest stars. We discuss whether Steven Moffat or Russell T. Davies might ever pen a story for Chris Chibnall. We offer our picks for the best performances from each of the four new series Doctors. We read out some seriously brilliant takes on Doctor Who as cyberpunk and fantasy author Brandon Sanderson’s approach to character development. All that p...
Episode 63: “The Eaters Of Light”
June 20, 2017 22:10 - 73.1 MBHallelujah, we have a debate on our hands! Alasdair goes to bat for this week's episode as a weird, thoughtful episode bristling with ideas, while Allison finds the whole thing to be a bit less than the sum of its parts. (Honestly, even now we're not exactly vociferously disagreeing, but baby steps!) Plus we have three terrific emails, including thoughts on "Empress Of Mars," where the season is headed, and what it would be like for a companion to come back as an antagonist.
Episode 62: “Empress Of Mars”
June 13, 2017 15:03 - 55.8 MBWe kick off with the news that Alan Cumming says he was twice asked about playing the Doctor, but just wasn’t up for living in Cardiff. (We’re sure Cardiff is lovely, even if only Allison has actually been there.) Steven Moffat dropped some hints about a distinctive regeneration in the Christmas special. Listener Adam mentions another issue with “The Lie Of The Land.” And then we get into “Empress Of Mars,” which was… it was okay. Not bad or anything, and maybe not flawed in the way “The Lie ...
Episode 61: “The Lie Of The Land”
June 06, 2017 14:59 - 59.4 MBThere's not much Doctor Who news this week, give or take word that Rachel Talalay is directing Peter Capaldi's Christmas swansong, so we get straight into this week's episode. Which... well. Hmm. This one was disappointing! We're both big fans of the first third of the episode or so, but then "The Lie Of The Land" just seems to keep abandoning its own most intriguing ideas. Are Peter Capaldi, Pearl Mackie, and Michelle Gomez actually too good for this episode? Can someone shoot the Doctor and...
Episode 60: “The Pyramid At The End Of The World”
May 30, 2017 06:19 - 86.4 MBWe open by discussing the big announcement about BBC Worldwide reaching an agreement with a Chinese production company, complete with an apparent announcement of seasons 12 to 15. We explain why the announcement probably shouldn’t be understood in quite that way, but also there’s pretty much zero chance the show doesn’t reach a 15th season. Then we get into this week’s story, which is… you know what, it’s okay. It’s not bad at all. But after the dizzying heights of “Extremis,” this one is jus...
Episode 59: “Extremis”
May 23, 2017 14:53 - 73 MBAllison and Alasdair field a question from our patron Delia, who totally blows up our spot by pointing out we never actually debate anything. This is... a known problem with the title of our podcast. We'll get there eventually, probably, maybe, but first we agree on how great Michelle Gomez is and discuss her future on the series. Then it's time for "Extremis," which Allison found just staggeringly good and thought-provoking... and yeah, Alasdair was pretty much right there with her. This was...
Episode 58: “Oxygen”
May 15, 2017 20:36 - 86.3 MBWe’re here to discuss tonight’s episode, a pretty good 45 minutes of television that sure feels like it could have been a fantastic two-parter. We run down the couple dozen or so fascinating ideas on display in Jamie Mathieson’s latest efforts, even if many of them don’t get developed much beyond the thumbnail sketch. Also, those spacesuit zombies are maybe on the wrong side of ridiculous? Seriously though, we liked this episode quite a bit. Also, we have a reader email on how the Doctor’s la...
Episode 57: “Knock Knock”
May 08, 2017 21:49 - 73.8 MBThis week, we offer our takes on “Knock Knock,” which we generally agree is a pretty good episode with a wonky genre shift and amazing work from Pearl Mackie, Peter Capaldi and David Suchet. All in all, another good one! But first, we respond to Steven Moffat’s new quote from Doctor Who Magazine on the mystery of the vault, run down all the possibilities (it’s a Master, surely it’s got to be), and then branch into a largeAr discussion about the various season-spanning mysteries.
Episode 56: “Thin Ice”
May 04, 2017 14:10 - 99.5 MBWe open with some big announcements, as the podcast has now got its own Patreon page at www.patreon.com/debatingdoctorwho! We’ve got some cool rewards and goodies if you’re interested in giving a little of your hard-earned money to support the show, so do check that out. Then we keep talking 13th Doctor, with Alasdair busting out some seriously pointless data journalism to let us know how this wait for a new Doctor stacks up with previous ones. Allison reveals her favorite episode and favorit...
Episode 55: “The Pilot” and “Smile”
April 28, 2017 12:00 - 90.6 MBThe bold new era of Debating Doctor Who officially begins! Alasdair and new cohost Allison fight through some crazy technical difficulties to give you the first episode in months. Allison introduces herself, her work, and her credentials as a Doctor Who fan. We tackle the 13th Doctor casting rumors and run down some of the current betting favorites. Then we dive into the first two episodes of series 10, praising both “The Pilot” and “Smile” for how they spotlight Bill and the Doctor, albeit w...
We’re coming back!
April 24, 2017 22:43 - 9.38 MBIt’s been awhile, but Debating Doctor Who returns this week! Admittedly, much like Doctor Who after a long hiatus, things won’t look exactly the same. Alasdair is still here, but Caroline is stepping away from the podcast. In her places comes fellow AV Clubber and generally awesome personal Allison Shoemaker. You’ll hear from Allison on her first episode later this week, but Alasdair records this quickie solo outing to catch you up on the state of the podcast. See you real soon!
Episode 54.5: Summer Movies 2016
August 31, 2016 23:03 - 88.9 MBWe’re back with some discussion of two of this summer’s most talked-about blockbusters. But first, Alasdair and Caroline discuss the reasons behind their latest podcast right now, which gives Alasdair yet another opportunity to mention he’s moved to Brooklyn and likes wrestling now. (Don’t worry, he’s got another podcast now where he’s free to discuss those things.) Then we break down which Who actors should play which royals before seguing into some extended discussion of the new Ghostbuster...
Episode 54: “Love And Monsters” and “Night Terrors”
July 01, 2016 19:42We’ve got a whole lot of ground to cover this week. We open with a brief remembrance of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin. We discuss Steven Moffat’s recent comments on diversity, and Alasdair wonders whether the world is finally ready for a #WokeMoff hashtag, because this is some good stuff. We also sort through general updates on series 10 filming and the 10th Doctor and Donna’s return at Big Finish, before finally getting into our most anticipated discussion ever, as we look at the generally t...
Episode 53.5: “Captain America: Civil War” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe
May 25, 2016 14:00 - 139 MBWhat started as a fun digression into the world of superhero movies turns into our longest episode ever - no joke, you could watch the entirety of Captain America: Civil War and still have a couple minutes left over on this one - as we dive deep into all things Marvel (with a little bit on Supergirl’s move to The CW thrown in for good measure). Caroline considers an open challenge to a fellowDaredevil reviewer, we give our very positive takes on the new Captain America movie, we discuss Marve...
Episode 53: The Mailbag Episode
May 10, 2016 15:23 - 62 MBAlasdair’s still in Chicago (well, at least when we recorded this, which was immediately after the last episode) for a special mailbag episode! We run through all your emails and missives that have accumulated while we’ve been taking all our hiatuses. What’s our favorite music? What’s the best pairing of Doctor and companion? And, given how long it took us to reply, is one listener with a newborn already looking into colleges? Listen on and find out!
Episode 52: “The Impossible Astronaut” / “Day Of The Moon”
May 03, 2016 15:09 - 110 MBWe’re together in Chicago to record this episode, as Alasdair decided it was easier to drive 12 hours than to edit together a couple different Skype recordings. (We’re kidding. Kind of.) Anyway, today’s episode looks at the most series six story to ever series six, as Alasdair and Caroline consider the bold, ludicrous, frustrating, yet exhilirating season-opening two-parter that is “The Impossible Astronaut” / “Day Of The Moon.” We agree the Silence are terrifying, Richard Nixon is surprising...
Episode 51: New Companions and Diversity in TV
April 25, 2016 18:07 - 73.4 MBWe return with an episode so bold and powerful it received an impromtu, mid-episode promotion from podlet to podcast! Pearl Mackie has officially stepped into the TARDIS as the Doctor’s newest companion, and Alasdair and Caroline are here to tackle this story from every feasible angle, including: Accents! Clothing choices! Fine-level parsing of lines in a promo video! So yeah, pretty much business as usual for your intrepid Debating Doctor Who team. And, just to really get back in the swing o...
Episode L: “Army Of Ghosts” / “Doomsday” and “The Angels Take Manhattan”
March 05, 2016 16:50 - 124 MBCaroline and Alasdair look at a pair of devastating farewells, as they tackle Rose’s swansong in “Army of Ghosts” / “Doomsday” and Amy’s (and Rory’s, don’t forget Rory’s) departure in “The Angels Take Manhattan.” Which one makes Caroline cry harder? What’s the only part of either of these episodes that truly melts Alasdair’s stone heart? (Hint: It involves Jackie.) And how weird is it that Freema Agyeman is in one of these as not-Martha?
DDW Podlet: Oscars 2016
February 28, 2016 15:00 - 21.2 MBWe’re back, and our long-awaited Episode L featuring “Army Of Ghosts”/“Doomsday” and “The Angels Take Manhattan” will be here very soon! (Probably Tuesday. No promises though.) In the meantime, enjoy this short podlet in which we run through most of this year’s Oscar nominees. Neither of us saw The Revenant (kind of on principle, though Episode 4.1 of the Shutdown Fullcast has some very on-point analysis), Caroline saves her discussion of The Martian for her guest spot on the National Ave pod...
Episode 49: Season Nine In Review
January 28, 2016 22:20 - 96.1 MBWe offer our long-awaited review of season nine, which turns into an increasingly byzantine series of comparisons between the various new Who seasons. Is season nine like half of season five? Like season two but with season four’s Doctor? Or maybe season six divided by season three? Who even knows! (Certainly not us.) We also offer a fond farewell to all the different Claras we’ve met – and we’re not even talking about the actual multiple incarnations of Clara on the show – mourn Doctor Who’s...
DDW Podlet: “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
January 24, 2016 02:22 - 75.7 MBWith a decent chunk of our listenership snowed in by the big blizzard, we figure now – only a month or so after the movie’s release! – is the perfect time to put out our thoughts about the new Star Wars movie. Caroline and Alasdair both admit that Star Wars has never meant as much to them as Doctor Who. (This podcast isn’t Debating Star Wars, after all.) But they both have largely positive things to say about the movie as a fun action movie, even if both are a little more skeptical of the fil...
Episode 48: Steven Moffat To Leave Doctor Who
January 23, 2016 02:23 - 65.4 MBAlasdair and Caroline jump on Skype to bring you their immediate reaction to the news that Steven Moffat will be departing Doctor Who after season 10. Broadchurch and Doctor Who writer Chris Chibnall has been announced as his replacement, so the hosts look back on Chibnall’s creative output, make some predictions for the future, and help you cope with the fact that there will be no newDoctor Who episodes for almost a year!
Episode 47: “The Husbands Of River Song”
January 16, 2016 22:38 - 72.4 MBAlasdair and Caroline break down this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special, “The Husbands Of River Song.” River is back, but is she the same River we’ve come to know and love? Caroline has a lot of thoughts on the return of one of her favorite Doctor Who characters while Alasdair expands upon his A.V. Club review to point out this episode’s strengths and weaknesses.
Episode 46: “Hell Bent”
December 25, 2015 02:46 - 75.4 MBWe're back! Alasdair reports in from the United Kingdom, where he has finally found internet access for long enough to record a podcast. Also, he's got a crazy cold and spent most of this podcast coughing up a lung! (With the microphone strategically muted, so *hopefully* that's all edited out. But, uh, no absolute promises.) Anyway, Alasdair and Caroline finally have the season-ending discussion we've all been waiting (and waiting, and waiting) for, as they get into what works and what does...
Episode 45: “Heaven Sent”
December 05, 2015 17:46 - 92.8 MBThis week, we give the Danielle Fan Email of the Week Award to the most eloquent, involved, and just generally downright locquacious missive we’ve yet received as one intrepid Scottish fan shares his feelings on “Heaven Sent.” We then get into some deep discussion about “Next Time” trailers, as Alasdair dredges up half-remembred fan controversies from 2005. Then we positively rave about “Heaven Sent,” but not before we sort out to our satisfaction precisely what happened in this remarkable ep...
Episode 44: “Face The Raven”
November 29, 2015 01:00 - 103 MBYour emails guide us through this week’s discussion, as we kick things off by considering what a male companion might mean for the show and the very real possibility that Steven Moffat is basing his creative decisions off what we say on this podcast. Also, Caroline offers some Who Alum Theater thoughts on the David Tennant-starring, Marvel-produced Netflix show Jessica Jones. Then we get into some serious discussion of the heartbreaking “Face The Raven,” reading emails both positive and … wel...
Episode 43: “Sleep No More”
November 19, 2015 18:27 - 92.5 MBWe kick things off by giving the Danielle Fan Email of the Week award to a listener whose email made Caroline cry (and Alasdair quite liked it too!), then read a pair of ridiculously insightful emails about how Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat are different without either necessarily being better. (Seriously: Great emails, everyone. Keep it up, please.) Then Caroline and Alasdair get into “Sleep No More,” an episode both feel is mostly just okay but sparks a lot of critical discussion abou...
