Doctor Whooch

In which a kid slides directly into his dad’s DMs and then catches the consumption.

It's part two of our spectacular Companions Season finalé, in which we continue to talk about The Curse of the Black Spot with Doctor Who podcast luminaries Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky!

In this episode, a Steven Moffat conspiracy theory is hatched, and we discuss how Doctor Who fans aren't detail oriented at all, and how crowns are pretty dope. Plus: drunk Chris Chibnall talk! Also, the appearance of some pod cats! No, we don't really edit, why do you ask?

Outro music is "Pinball Wizard" as covered by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, which you should see the full video for.

In which we offend the southern states and maybe also most of the British.

It's part one of our HUGE finalé to our companion of Doctor Whooch - featuring Doctor Who podcast luminaries Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky! This one has it all. Or it would if we hadn't split it in two. So I guess this one has roughly half. BUT WHAT A HALF IT IS. We blame Saskatchewan for things, discover Steven's superpower, decide that Arthur Darvill is British AF and toss out spoilers for Earthshock. So if you're listening to this in 1982, uh... whoops.

Outro music is "Oceans Brawl" by Coeur de pirate

In which we discover that Neil Gaiman likes his TARDIS' like he likes his women.

We're continuing our season of companions with Marina Reid Hale (@mrimm) who gets us into a double dose of episodes this week - The Unicorn and the Wasp, and The Doctor's Wife.

We learned a lot. Such as the fact that it's a bad idea to get impregnated by a giant wasp alien. And that wasp people are people too. And that concrete faces can not give consent. It was... a lot. So.

Outro music is "I Am Not A Robot" by Marina and the Diamonds

In which we come into watching "Blink" with good intentions, and leave it lying in a ditch somehow.

Our Companions Season of the show continues with special guests Amber Chipman and Laury Plant, and we proceed to pull strings while we watch a modern classic. Marvel as Brandon can't remember any names. Again. Be totally surprised when Moffat keeps a woman sad and waiting. There's angels. There is dick pics, kinda. There are white girls named Sally. There's... a lot. Get ready to hate us real bad, but please, remember that we love you.

Outro music is "All Star" covered by Tessa Violet & Dodie Clark

In which we kick off our first Companions Season of episodes by talking about one of our favourite episodes to discuss drunk.

Welcome back to Doctor Whooch! For this batch of episodes, we're going to have a bunch of special guests, starting with our good friend Allen Gould! He arrives on the show to talk about a very sexy episode of Doctor Who where a couple of the characters bone down later. Spoilers!

Also discussed? Hobbits, Culkins, Tim Riggins in Space, Once Upon A Time and Albus Hodge. And Doctor Who eventually, whatever. Specifically: how Donna really gets a raw deal in her season of the show.

In which we are sober AF, so we sound awkward AF.

On this very special episode, we're featuring the main conversation from this week's Gallifrey Public Radio episode that we guested on. Hosts Keir, Jay and Haley were wonderful people to talk about the casting of the newest Doctor with, something we didn't even know was happening when we first scheduled this crossover! Anyway, if you want to hear five awesome people gush about Jodie Whittaker for over an hour, WE HAVE YOUR BACK!

Also, if you enjoy this episode, you need to check out Gallifrey Public Radio, and just go back there every week. Tell them we sent you.

Oh, and also follow them on Twitter: @gallifreyradio.

Oh and also also, you can listen to when Danica guested on Keir's other podcast here: In Defense Of - Between the Panels

oh and also also also we love you thanks byeee

In which we say good-bye for now, and good riddance reaaaaalllll soon.

On this week's season finale of Doctor Whooch, Danica and Brandon are talking about the season finale of Series 10 of Doctor Who, "The Doctor Falls". It's like Wonderfalls, but way more depressing. Because at least stuff happened in that. Do you remember Wonderfalls? Anyways.

Listen to them talk about how elevators work, or how nothing was really accomplished by anyone. Also there were a lot of guns and two Masters and still, nothing. Oh, and the Doctor was a whiny baby, but like, what's different about that?

Outro music is "Wedding Bell Blues" by The 5th Dimension.

In which we have no regrets. But also, no egrets. :(

Holy hell, is this season almost done? No? Oh FFS. Whelp whatever. On this episode, we're talking about "World Enough and Time" which was boring until very suddenly it wasn't. Marvel as Danica explains the show we've all been watching for over a decade! Swoon as Brandon yells about how Stephen Moffat is terrible at gender politics! Or actually, they both do that. A lot. That guy is NO GOOD.

Outro music is "Monster Hospital" by Metric

In which the monster of the week is all the rave. Trust us, it will make sense later.

This week, Danica and Brandon are proud to have Kat from Verity! on the show to discuss what happened on "The Eaters of the Light". There's a whole lot involving noodle rave monsters and Romans and the Scottish and sexuality and bullshit with Missy. It's a bit bonkers, but a lot of fun, honestly.

Hold onto your butts, it's a wine episode!

On this week's show, Danica and Brandon bear witness to "The Empress of Mars" and gave Mark Gatiss the benefit of the doubt because they were drunk. Spoiler alert: they shouldn't have. Hey. Do you think an episode featuring the colonial British might be pretty racist? Well, at least there's treasures for them to steal. Also, penis metaphors.

Outro Music is "Underground" by The Sounds

In which there is not enough alcohol in the world to make this episode of Doctor Who good.

On this week's show, Danica and Brandon struggle through "The Lie of the Land" and holy heck, are there far too many guns in this. Also: the monks are nothing but dumber versions of The Silence and so many things are garbage. And The Doctor is a dick on a boat, and off a boat. Whatever. MORE ALCOHOL PLEASE.

Outro music is "Ship To Wreck" by Florence + The Machine

In which we’re fist deep in time spaghetti.

On this week’s show, Danica and Brandon are thrown into the deep end of Moffatisms as they try to swim through “The Pyramid At The End Of The World”. It doesn’t go well. They also get into Moffat really only using his own stuff unless an old bit of Who slots in, seemingly so he can take all the credit and be the best boy. Is that too harsh? Whatever. You love it.

Outro music is "Love Is All Around" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

In which we'd like Stephen Moffat to leave sooner rather than later but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Hey, remember that time The Doctor fucked a Pope? Well, Brandon and Danica do. Or at least they think they do. Brandon is also sure that Stephen Moffat got divorced, but that wasn't true so much as it FELT true. Anyway. On this week's show, they watch "Extremis" and it's not very good. You've been warned, I guess.

In which Brandon forgets the word for “e-mail”.

Hey buds. On this week’s show, Danica and Brandon are not cool with everyone being out in space again, and for good reason. Because… well, every episode of Doctor Who has danger, but space stuff usually involves murders and body snatching and that’s not their jam even slightly. Also, Brandon breaks out his amazing Nardole impression, and it’s preeeeetty spot on.

Outro music is “Space” by Something Corporate

With apologies to all the Marks and Mikes out there.

This week, Danica and Brandon are spooked by bugs and a house that is creepy as hell. Also, the cats almost murder them and ruin the podcast. Boy, that sure would have been a twist. But no one died. Probably. Or maybe we’re ghosts. You’ll have to listen to find out.

Outro music is "Black Magic" by Little Mix

In which Danica’s cold, cold heart is awoked. 

On this week’s show, Brandon and Danica travel to 1814 to see The Doctor and Bill fight Scaffolding in the Series 10 episode “Thin Ice”. Along the way, they classify different types of orphans, the show addresses racism (?) and Bill is rad as hell. We loved this episode and Sarah Dollard is our new queen now.

In which we put a phrase in a mausoleum. And there’s a good chance that Brandon doesn’t know what a mausoleum actually is. 

This week, Series 10 continues with the second episode “Smile”, and for the most part Brandon and Danica stay on topic. But then there’s the potential of Torchwood porn and alternative meanings for the BBC. And also Danica is horribly insensitive about British history, but to be fair, the British are history’s villain. Except when there are Nazis or sometimes the French.

Outro music is "Smile Like You Mean It" by Rhi Victoria

Brandon and Danica return to podcasting with a new companion, a gentle shot, and a zest for life(or whatever optimists say - we aren’t, so we’re just spitballing right now).

They manage to stay on topic until Brandon comes up with a fantastic theory about the similarities between companions. You’ll have to listen to the episode, I’m not going to ruin it here for you. Who do you think I am? @SavedYouAClick? SIR OR MADAM, I AM OFFENDED.

Anyway, listen while the two fall in love with Bill, are still offended by Moffat-isms, and maybe just maybe are thinking positively about Series 10.
