Doctor Whooch (general)

In which we totally know where Guinness comes from, you guys.

This week, Danica and Brandon talk about Before the Flood (Doctor Who Series 9 - Episode 4) and eat pumpkin pie, because it was totally Thanksgiving. And we gave thanks to alcohol. Also in this episode: some Buffy life tips, some disillusion talk, and uh... we've started our yearly binge of Once Upon a Time, so there's that as well.

Fun!

In which Brandon and Danica are running on two (?) hours of sleep and then get drunk. Because... yeah. Yes.

Series 9 keeps rolling on, and we're keeping up... mostly. It was a weekend of store events (including a 24 hour event) but there's always time to get crunk and watch The Doctor pal around on a base. Nothing EVER goes wrong on bases, you guys. NOTHING.

Marvel as they don't actually pass out. Tremble as we... as we actually really, really like Series 9. Because SERIES 9, you guys. So good.

In which NOTHING will stop us from recording Doctor Whooch. Not even adorable little assholes.

On this week's episode, Brandon and Danica tackle the second part of the Series 9 opening - The Witch's Familiar. There are Daleks! And fighting! And metaphors that we totally understood, maybe. Also slurring. But there's always slurring. Being drunk will do that to you, it seems. That's a thing we've learned, you see.

In which we love all of our little muskox listeners.

Series 9 is here, and has somehow wrecked our alcohol tolerance, so we’re preeeeeeetty drunk. So drunk that we might have ended up offending German people definitely, Christian people probably, and potentially everybody else. So… par for the course? Anyway, if you’ve been waiting (WAITING) to hear us slur our opinions about The Magician’s Apprentice, then you’ve come to the right place. Oh, and at the end, we talk about racial issues and sexism on our drunk podcast and that’s definitely a thing.

On this week's show, we're talking about the series 8 episode "Into the Dalek" and Brandon does a MadLibs by himself, and it's horrible. HORRIBLE. We also learn about space, maybe, and things get mega adoraballs. Oh, and we get really mad at Moffat and then try to rap with him with some real talk, which almost definitely works.

We'll see you next week for SERIES 9 WHAT.

In which we revisit the day we got engaged, with cursing.

First: EXCITING NEWS! Doctor Whooch will be weekly through the end of Series 9, and that's going to be a thing.

Now: as we count down to the premiere of Series 9, we're revisiting the first episode of Series 8: Deep Breath. And guess what. We have Moffat opinions. Also, we search for The Master slash fic (but generally forget to finish that quest), find out that we're not good with boats, and Danica swears at the cats and generally can't say words or names.

And hey, tune in next week for what's essentially the second part of this episode - and then it's straight on to NEW WHO. YESSSSSS.

In which The Doctor and Rose end up on a space station, and absolutely nothing goes wrong.

On this week's episode, Brandon and Danica head back to their roots, and fix a part of Brandon that's broken. Mainly, the fact that he seemingly skipped an entire disc of David Tennant's run on Doctor Who. To that end, they watch episodes 8 and 9 of Series 2: "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit" and now Brandon is almost whole again. All he needs to do is see "Love and Monsters" which he has been warned will be a thing. So there's that.

Also? Some Bojack Horseman talk, because that show is stunningly good, and gives us all the feels. ALL OF THEM. Enjoy!

They're not what you think.

On this week's show, things are happening. TERRIBLE THINGS! Or I guess more accurately, drunk things. First, Danica and Brandon watch "The Idiot's Lantern" (Series 2, Episode 7) where the Doctor and Rose fight an HBO show, I guess? Then it's straight onto "The Doctor's Daughter" (Series 4, Episode 6) where we contemplate the meta story and almost break our pickled brains.

Sex stuff will happen.

In which we get drunk and are surprised when Torchwood makes us sad and angry again.

On this week's show Danica and Brandon watch the final episode of Torchwood Series 2 (Exit Wounds) and the 3rd episode of Series 2 of Doctor Who (School Reunion) and end up talking about female agency and empowerment and how both Moffat and Davies both haven't been the best at that. They also share a story about the first time Brandon watched School Reunion, and how he knew Danica was the one. Yup, there's a pretty big swing in this episode. Because we're ballers, you guys.

So hey, sometimes you keep watching Torchwood and it makes you really sad. But you're also drunk, so it's kind of okay? Brandon and Danica almost make their way to the end of Series Two with episode 11 ("Adrift") and Episode 12 ("Fragments"). Everybody's under bricks!

On this week's episode, Danica and Brandon talk about Mila Kunis and space bees, we think. It's a bit blurry. And a lot slurry. Also: Ray Romano impressions, THE MASTER, and uh... oh. Yes. We watched "The Sound of Drums" and "Last of the Timelords", and Brandon didn't fall asleep this time. YOU ONLY HAD ONE JOB, BRANDON.

This week, Danica and Brandon are drinking Captain Jacks in honour of Captain Jack, and watching some Martha Jones episodes - 42 and Utopia. What happens next, will surprise you.

Actually, it won't. They get drunk and talk about the episode while Brandon fights off sleep like a champ. We're terrible at clickbait.

In which we sit in an empty apartment, and say good-bye. To the apartment. We will probably never stop getting drunk and watching Doctor Who. So.

In this week's episode, we watched "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday", which included not-Martha Jones and a good-bye to Rose Tyler. It was awesome, and we got all of the feels pretty hard. We also slur through what we think the difference between Moffet twists and Davis twists are, so that's a thing too. Also, cats? Maybe! Mad Max? Also probably! We were drunk, you'll probably remember more than we do.

In which Brandon got so drunk he's forgotten everything that's happened in this episode. So.

This week, we dig into more Torchwood, starting with "Something Borrowed" and barrelling right into "From Out Of The Rain". They eventually get around to talking about them, but slur wildly off into comics talk and how to socialize without books. Oh and Brandon goes off on some wild tangents, and Danica just let's it happen, because it's funnier that way.

It's an all Craig episode this round, as Brandon and Danica celebrate the grand opening of their comic shop (Variant Edition in Edmonton, Alberta) by drinking way too much and reading Doctor Who slash fic. Oh, and they also watch the two Craig episodes - The Lodger (Series 5, Episode 11) and Closing Time (Series 6, Episode 12).

But seriously folks, maybe don't listen to this one around people. For reasons.

But more importantly, we go off the rails all the time, talking about various meat liquors and Clone High, and all sorts of various shenanigans. It's a good time. Also: we've done more than 50 episodes. That is crazy.

Our 50th episode continues with the addition of the wonderful Devin R. Bruce as everyone talks about their favourite episodes of Doctor Who. As always, the conversation rarely stays on track because... drunk. Smile as we all yell at James. Laugh as we make terrible jokes. Forgive the few odd cuts because having seven drunk people on a podcast at one time is REALLY HARD. And stay tuned as we start on our next 50. Thank you, everyone.

It's a two-part celebration of almost two years worth of drinking. Clearly we've been doing something right. Anyway, in the first part of our 50th episode, we have Katie, Jess and Lou from Boozy Boob Tube, along with Cody F. Schmidt and James Leask on the show to talk about the 50th Anniversary Special, "The Day of the Doctor". Along the way, we talk about expensive man hair cuts, the shaming of the elderly, and a whole bunch of other things jumbled amidst drunken laughter. It was a fun time.

On the eve of our 50th episode, we head back to the very beginning of Doctor Who, watching two version of the premiere episode "An Unearthly Child", and the second episode "The Cave of Skulls". Along the way, we talk a bit of business, recount the time we were "fake Who geeks" on a panel, and comment on the literal garbage set that kicked off Doctor Who. Also, Brandon is really drunk and does a bunch of weird voices. The weirdo.

In which it's MARTHA JONES ON TORCHWOOD THIS IS NOT A DRILL

This week, we're back watching sexy Torchwood for the sexy second series episodes "Adam" and "Reset". Only good things happen in these episodes, and no one is cavernously sad. Also, Ianto's cry-face is a million times better. Maybe because he's in the fetal position? Like we said, these were sexy episodes. Also, we watched a lot of Parks and Rec, which is a thing we hadn't really done before now, alongside some (one) slaps and some (lots) of giggles. But you kinda already guessed that part probably. You're so smart. We like your face.

This week, we return to Torchwood for a pair of second series episodes ("To The Last Man" and "Meat"). Both of these feature meat, but only one features man meat. From there, the usual madness occurs. Brandon goes full German, we administer some British history and sex education and somehow talk about idependant butt stuff. Like you do.

There's a lot to talk about in this episode, from the surprising return of a character we thought was gone, to our feels on The Doctor and Clara's new dynamic. Also: Santa! Bojack Horseman! Racism! Wait, maybe that last one shouldn't have an exclaimation point. Oh, and Brandon over-corrects and is not nearly drunk enough.

Merry Whoochmas, everyone! In this week's special Christmas episode, we revisit two specials from Christmas past - "The Snowmen" and "The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe" - and we have some interesting feelings about them. Brandon yolos and mangles some Frenh pretty bad and Danica worries about the Kids These Days (take a drink) as swords-lizards and Nernia happen on the screen. It was pretty great.

If you're not, I think you might want to consider your life choices. And we're saying that as hosts of a podcast wherein we get drunk and watch episodes of Doctor Who.

That all said, we hope you enjoy the episode. It was a Steven Moffat written episode that we really, really liked? That didn't have (too many) weird gender-y body image slams? What's that all about?

Also, we talk about everything. And I mean everything, except for maybe this week's episode of Doctor Who. (Actually, we talk a little bit about that. Sometimes.)

In which we buy your love with new internet currencies. Or something.

On this week's episode, Brandon and Danica drop in on the Fifth Doctor, with a serial called "Earthshock", which was pretty rad. And while Brandon can't remember the who played the Fifth immediately after they watched the episodes, Danica is there to keep things on track, and punch Brandon as needed. And trust us, it's needed. Hail Hyrda.

In which Danica is a pirate.

During this week's episode, your intrepid hosts delve deeper into Torchwood with the Series One episodes "Small Worlds" and "Greeks Bearing Gifts", skipping "Countryside" for Brandon to experience another day. Also, Danica punches Brandon a few times, and things start happening that probably involve neighbours, and not ghosts. Probably. Hopefully.

In which Brandon and Danica are both kinda' sick. So. There's that.

In this week's episode, your awesome hosts are feeling not-so-awesome, but a love of Doctor Who conquers all! With hooch in hand, we explored "Pyramids of Mars" - a fourth Doctor serial that was... whelp, interesting. Weird stuff happened, and the Doctor was a bit of a jerk, but hey, there were explosions and running! Which was nice.

This week's episode (our first that can legally drink in the US!) our special guest James Leask (of Comics! The Blog fame) joins us for another two episodes of Torchwood ("Ghost Machine" and "Cyberwoman"). Things start weird and get weirder pretty quick. This is what happens when you have a drunk podcast, I guess.

In which Brandon and Danica talk about their sexy crush on a certain spaceman. No, not that spaceman.

This week, we're watching Torchwood (specifically the first two episodes of Series One, "Everything Changes" and "Day One"), which unsurprisingly goes really well with being drunk. In short order, Brandon serenades the audience, and Danica lets him. Then things got weird.

In this episode, we finally dig into some old Who, starting with the classic William Hartnell serial "The Aztecs". They also talk about that one time Steve Buscemi was in Doctor Who. Or, okay, Brandon does. He was pretty drunk, you guys.

In which there is also shenanigans and chicanery. 

On this week's show, Brandon and Danica talk about things happening NOW! For the first time ever! They talk about "The Day of the Doctor" (which they saw live in theatre with a bunch of their friends), "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot", and "An Adventure In Space And Time" - which we all delightful in their own way. They also get super tired, because they did all of that in one day, and rode a horse-and-cart. It was awesome.

On this week's show, Danica fixes another broken part of Brandon, as he finally finishes his exploration of the Eccleston series with "Bad Wolf" (Series 1, Episode 12) and "The Parting of The Ways" (Series 1, Episode 13) and finds it to be quite fantastic. Then, they talk about "Age of Steel" (Series 2, Episode 6... or 7 if you count the Christmas Special) and they don't get distracted by James Wolk at all. At. ALL.

In which Brandon needs to learn how to talk.

On this week's show, Danica and Brandon celebrate the Twelfth Doctor (sort of) by watching "The Fires of Pompeii" (Series 4, Episode 2), but not Peter Capaldi's episodes of Torchwood, because Brandon is horrible and hasn't watched them yet. On a similar note, Brandon continues his first watch through of Series One with "Boomtown" (Series 1, Episode 11). That's a pun, you see. They also talked about their various travels through space, but not time.

And remember: if you're in Edmonton on the weekend of November 16th and 17th, make sure you stop by Pure Spec, Edmonton's best science and fiction festival! We will be hosting the show's big Doctor Who 50th Anniversary from 2:45pm to 4:15pm on Sunday, November 17th, talking to fellow Whovians about the series both now and then, and offer their thoughts on the inevitably timey-whimey future. We're currently lining up guests for this extravaganza, which will be recorded as a decidedly irregular episode of the podcast, seeing how it will be live and fairly sober. So please, join us live and experience one of the best literary festivals Edmonton has to offer!

In which we celebrate all things Tennant in our Tennanth episode!

This week, Brandon and Danica are coming at you from the palatial Ramada Hotel in Westlock, Alberta, where there is an abundance of quiet and cows, but no shots. Still, they get drunk and talk Tennant (and Catherine Tate) as they watch "The Runaway Bride" (Series 3 Christmas Special) and "Turn Left" (Series 4, Episode 12). They also talk about how money is weird, and how Brandon has strange word gaps.

On this week's show, we celebrate the ninth Doctor (a bit) and watch "Father's Day" (Series 1, Episode 8) and "The Sontaran Stratagem" (Series 4, Episode 4). Only one of those have Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, but hey, whatever. In between fits of sexy talk, we continue to talk about how much we love Donna, this time including a heaping scoop of fondness for Martha Jones and their delicious banter with each other. Also there are time pterodactyls.

This week, Brandon and Danica don't watch any episodes of Doctor Who, as they celebrate the announcement of Peter Capaldi as the next Doctor! Swoon as they attempt to talk about "The Thick of It" and "In The Loop", but get distracted by various Chris'! Marvel at Brandon trying to explain his disdain for politicians roughly five drinks in! And discover within yourself your very own Beefcake Need.

(We love you, Peter Capaldi.)

In which Brandon really, really loves Raspberry Sour Puss.

On this week's podcast, Brandon and Danica drink some Sonic Screwdrivers (the Eleventh edition!) and decide to pitch a show to the BBC about homosexual males and train cars (but they are far more British about it. Because they are drunk.)  In the meantime (and in-between time) they talk about "The Long Game" (Series 1, Episode 7) and "Journey's End" (Series 4, Episode 13). They wax poetic about Donna, and then get sad.

It's episode six! This time around, Danica and Brandon are both really drunk (yay!) and accidently create a new superhero and supervillain. Oh, and they also cast The Doctor in the upcoming CW teen drama, Gallifrey High, and maybe talk about a couple of episodes of Doctor Who, "Flesh and Stone" (Series 5, Episode 5) and "The Christmas Invasion" (Series 2, Episode 0).

Also, they miss Donna.

In which Brandon is far more drunk than Danica, and it shows.

In this fifth installment, Brandon and Danica teach the world about relationships, Brandon is not allowed to talk to kids about jam, and someone's getting pregnant? Also, we discuss the second Craig episode, "Closing Time" (Series 6, Episode 12) as well as the Moffat penned "The Girl in the Fireplace" (Series 2, Episode 5), and determine that Craig is the best. We want more Craig.

Danica and Brandon return in this episode and create a brand new sexy genre show and talk about how best to kill robots if you are in the Washington State area. As for what WHO was watched, they finally took the plunge and watched a run from the old series for the very first time. Marvel as Brandon and Danica go three (plus) drinks deep and attempt to describe the awesomeness of Tom Baker as The Doctor, and the dubiousness of "savage alien warrior" Leela, who is Not Very Good at knife things, in "The Robots of Death"!

In this third installment, Danica has another very important message for the kids, some sex stuff happens with David Tennant, and Brandon picks a fight with Hugh Laurie probably. Also, we stick to the format and discuss "World War Three" (Series 1, Episode 5) and "The Shakespeare Code" (Series 4, Episode 2) before rolling into some Buffy talk, which may or may not get sad because: "The Body". Yeah, you're getting a wide range of drunks this week. Enjoy!

Brandon and Danica are back, and this time they're drunker than ever. Which I guess means "drunker than last time". Anyway, in this episode, we talk about "The Unquiet Dead" (Series 1, Episode 3) and "Aliens of London" (Series 1, Episode 4). Also, Brandon makes things awkward by talking about when NOT to bring condoms, and Danica gets all the best lines (because she's awesome).

It's the first episode of Doctor Whooch, with your hosts Brandon Schatz and Danica LeBlanc!

CONTENT WARNING: Brandon says a dumb thing. It is not okay. We've grown up and regret so much.

In this first episode, Brandon talks about watching the first two episodes of Series One for the first time. Also Danica nearly dies and Brandon takes a joke to a pretty terrible place. Because that's what he does.

Episodes watched: Rose (Series 1, Episode 1), The End of the World (Series 1, Episode 2).
