For an episode whose title is a pun on a Sex Pistols song, we expected more Sex Pistols references. In lieu of that, we made sure our title fit that bill. That's right! John and Taylor are back to discuss the 4th episode of Season 11: Arachnids in the UK! While the story wasn't the strongest, even when you tell yourself that it's all an homage to B-movies, there's still a lot to love in this episode. We talk music, effects, character development, and ultimately how rather unsatisfying the end is...

John is back from vacation and this week he and Taylor sit down to discuss the momentous, impactful, and moving episode "Rosa." So moving, we couldn't even give it an alternate title. From the cinematography to the music to the acting (especially the acting), we do our best to review "Rosa", its history, and the implications this story has on our present day. Also, please go out and vote. Voting is important.

Hoo boy! It's not often that John and Taylor come across a story that they both deride (the last one was Sleep No More), but Death to the Daleks (quite the promising title) does not deliver. There are good point and entertaining parts, but join us this time as our dynamic duo does their darnedest to deliver some entertaining commentary on this Dalek story! If we ever decide to do a RiffTrax-esque commentary on a story, this one's at the top of the list.

John and Taylor are back from an unplanned extra week off, but it feels so good to get back into some Classic Who! This time, we review the 5th Doctor story "Arc of Infinity!" Omega is influencing Gallifreyan High Council politics and one of them is clearly colluding with the anti-matter baddie. Who is it? Why are they doing it? How deep does the corruption go and why does the Doctor need to die? We subpoena absolutely nothing and dive into the first story of Season 20. Join us as we run through...

John and Taylor continue collecting "all the firsts" with the 7th Doctor's debut story "Time and the Rani!" How does McCoy handle a script that was written before he was even cast or before they knew how the new Doctor would be characterized? What's with all the glitter cannons? CGI abounds in 1987 and transforms a rock quarry into...well, a rock quarry on a far off planet on which the Rani is attempting to create a giant time-traveling brain planet!

Shada! A story made of legend. Filmed, but never finished. And then finished in a variety of ways. Recently, Shada was again finished, but this time with animation and the original cast returning to voice their characters. How does the reality of Shada stack up against Shada the legend? How deep does the writing of Douglas Adams filter through the story? And where exactly does Skagra get those fancy duds? John & Taylor delve into all that and more on a sizeable episode of Podcastica!

What do John and Taylor tackle after reviewing the 50th anniversary special and Peter Capaldi's final episode? Well, it was another anniversary story, but how does Silver Nemesis stack up against other anniversary specials? Was a story involving three villains (Lady Peinforte, Nazis, and Cybermen) just too much for Classic Who to handle? And why do all dying Cybermen sound like they're yawning and stubbing their toes at the same time? We talk about all that and more this time on Podcastica!!
