Just because a literal global pandemic has turned the world upside doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun. In fact, when the majority of us are either responsibly practicing social distancing or in an actual lockdown situation it is more important than ever to not get bogged down by fear and anxiety. Or boredom. This week we offer up some levity, a bit of seriousness, and a whole lot of recommendations on how we can fill our time as we remain homebound. LIST EPISODE!

After a few of the blandest Doctor Who episodes in recent memory we finally got one worth talking about with ‘Fugitive of the Judoon’. Too bad headlines spoiled the biggest surprises for some of us before the show even aired here in the US. That aside, Doctor Who series 12 episode 5 certainly left us was a lot to chew on and a ton of questions. Paul aka Moose also joins us this episode for Who talk and some entertainment news. Enjoy!

Our usual, slightly salty but good natured jabs at our favorite sci-fi TV series has given way to outright disgust after what might be the worst episode of Doctor Who in a LONG time. While the message might be on point, everything else in Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 3 is a complete miss. It’s not all Doctor bashing, though. We also discuss the possibility of Taika Waititi taking on a Star Wars movie, new details about NBC’s Peacock and HBO Max streaming services, a tale of two Flashes, and the ...

Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 2 already hit the air so we’re pushing our live Grawlix Nights review of it out before episode 3 hits. We were rather disappointed with the series 12 premiere. Fortunately, Spyfall Pt. 2 addressed MOST of the questions and complaints we had with the first part. We’re still not convinced the Cybermen are not involved, though! Enjoy!

On this full length bonus episode, we finally get around to discussing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Yes, we take our time with these Star Wars movies.

Talking Batman! This episode we review Batman: White Knight, the DC Comics comic book by Sean Murphy. This is an interesting Elseworlds style tale where Joker attempts to flip the tables on Batman by becoming the hero that Gotham needs. Generally well received with the follow up series Batman: Curse of the White Knight currently hitting comic shops but this DC Black Label book gets a somewhat polarized reaction from the Grawlix Podcast crew.
