A colony with a delusional leader insisting that everything is fine, that everyone is happy, and that all those disappearances you’ve been hearing about are for the good of the nation.

What’s this?! Has a new Doctor regenerated into an old familiar face? No, that sort of dumbassery only happens on Disney shows. Instead, we’re going back a bit and changing formats a LOT to look at a graphic novel written by one of the stars of the show! Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as they discuss Colin Baker’s THE AGE OF CHAOS – the graphic novel, we mean, not his tenure on TV. Rimshot!

It’s the ‘50s, and there’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. There’s also a whole lotta peeing. (You already know what we’re talking about, right?).

One of the joys of reading a novelization is reliving a story that you’ve always loved. Another joy of reading a novelization is not having to see the things you despised in a story that you’ve always hated. Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as they discuss how PARADISE TOWERS fits the latter category more than the former. Build High for Happiness!

It’s a new era, and we celebrate…never having to read another Pip and Jane Baker book again. (Did you really think I was about to say “the beginning of the McCoy era”? Well, that too.) Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest Trey Korte as we begin the McCoy era with a man on the floor in a wig, a middle-aged woman appearing in drag, and so…many…exclamation marks!!!

Who would’ve believed that we could discuss THE ULTIMATE FOE for longer than the actual run-time of the story – and that we could say mostly positive things about it? Granted, there’s still that business of some weird future Doctor being the villain (spoilers!) and Colin Baker being fired after making this, but why should that yuck our yum? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as we finish the Colin Baker era with all the exclamation marks it deserves!!!

Is Kemel the most racist character created for the classic series? Did the Second Doctor really commit genocide?

Saward’s not done with the show at this point yet, but we’re done with Saward, and it’s about…well, mostly about Douglas Adams, to be honest.

It's THE ULTIMATE EVIL! …but enough about the election. Now that certain lunatics are back in the White House, do we go back to calling him DWARF Mordant, or does the fact that we care make us snowflakes? And while we’re at it, would this story have been the new TWIN DILEMMA if it had been made.
