Let us explain. No, there is too much. Let us sum up the last episode of this run of âDoctor Who.â
Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.

The end is near. Has the moment been prepared for? We make a wish and discuss Wish Babies and how they relate to Space Babies, the importance of vibes, the proper use of The Rani, and the rest of this episode. Onward to the (grand?) finale!

This week Eurovision meets Doctor Who as the Doctor and Belinda steal the luxury box of our new favorite couple, Gary and Mike, and stumble into a scheme to avenge a planetary crime with a galaxy-spanning crime. Also: some surprise guest characters appear who are never, ever supposed to appear, but somehow have! And we gird ourselves for the inevitable RTD Finale Fireworks.

A barbership in Lagos! A robot spider in a web of storytelling! Ancient gods watching Marvel movies! A surprise cameo, a deep-cut cameo, and an entirely unsurprising cameo! We break down writer Inua Ellamsâs âDoctor Whoâ debut.

Grab a penny, pick it up, and all day long youâll have good luck. This episode hit us like a bad penny, though, and the more we think about it the more weâre bothered. We lament the lack of Doctor and Belinda, but welcome back Ruby Sunday and her family. And just remember: podcasters are the real villains.

Jason, Chip and Erika break down âThe Well,â in which Russell T Davies (and his co-writer Sharma Angel-Walfall) decided to play the hits and serve up what âDoctor Whoâ does best. Itâs a base on an alien planet thatâs been out of contact for days. (Nuking the site from orbit is the only way to be sure, right?)

Time for an animated discussion about old cartoons, two-dimensional characters, American accents, metafictional wall-breaking, and lots more about this weekâs episode, âLux.â Also, Jason places a $5 bet on an extremely wacky theory involving Mrs. Flood.

âDoctor Whoâ is back, and you know what that means: Russell T Davies has once again built a story designed to re-introduce the show and introduce a new companion. Oh, and also this podcast has returned! We discuss Miss Belinda Chandra in all her formsâall hail the queen.

Surprisingly not a vehicle for a single guest star, this yearâs Doctor Who Christmas special features a Time Hotel, Dinosaur shenanigans, Thanos glitter, a bootstrap paradox with a lantern firmly attached, and a stunning ten minutes where the Doctor does time at a non-time hotel. Oh, and yeah, a really famous star is introduced. Chip and Jason break it all down. Happy Christmas to all!

We wrap up this first Disney+/BBC season by accentuating the positive where we can find it, before finally giving in and explaining all the ways this episode failed. Perhaps things will be better at Christmas. Weâll see you then!

Itâs part one of a two-part finale, which leaves Jason and Chip struggling with how to judge it. But somehow we find a wayâand it mostly leaves us feeling frustrated.

The roguish Jonathan Groff appears amid an extended riff on âBridgerton.â Jason recommends a different Netflix series. Erika gives this episode a very high rating. Chip wonders about the metatextuality of it all. Was this episode for the cosplaying birds? Or could we not get it out of our heads?

Did you enjoy the work? Afterward, did you spend time thinking about what it meant? When you start to analyze it, does it offer several interesting interpretations? Does the intent of the author inform, or is it irrelevant? Weâre talking about art in general, and this weekâs episode of âDoctor Whoâ in particular.
Jason Snell and Chip Sudderth.

A spooky story told around a campfire, involving the adventures of Ruby Sunday and the mystery of the woman standing 66.66666667 meters away from her at all times. Vibes! Weâre here for the vibes.

Former showrunner Steven Moffat joins the new-new-series party with an episode set almost entirely in a bomb crater. The Doctor canât move, and canât emote too much, but he can still attempt to control the world around him. We talk about Moffatâs return, the importance of getting Ruby up to speed as a companion, and much more!

Jinkx Monsoon stars in an episode where an otherworldly force beyond the Doctorâs abilities manages to steal all music and potentially set off a human apocalypse. Oh, also the Beatles are thereâbut they donât really matter. And thereâs a musical number at the endâbut it doesnât really matter, either. These are the problems.
Erika Ensign and Jason Snell.

âDoctor Whoâ regnerates for a whole new first season on Disney+. Russell T Davies has a plan to welcome new audiences, but do his showrunner machinations balance out with the narrative elements of this episode? Chip and Jason consider what RTDâs up to, why heâs doing it, what works, and what doesnât.
Chip Sudderth and Jason Snell.

Merry Christmas! The Ncuti Gatwa era begins! We judge this episode as a Christmas special, as a Doctor introduction, as a jumping-on point for new viewers, and as the last new âDoctor Whoâ weâll see until May.

What Russell wants, Russell gets! We say goodbye to David Tennant and hello to Ncuti Gatwa and also hi-how-are-you to Neil Patrick Harris! Is the Toymaker living in an original Star Trek episode? Itâs the end of the 60th anniversary celebration, but the moment has been prepared for. Special guest Annette Wierstra joins Jason and Chip to break it all down. See you in two weeks for the Christmas special with a lightly-used new Doctor!

Off we go for a discussion of rusty robots, long spaceships, creepy doubles, the merits of a U-shaped season, the two kinds of Russell T. Davies scripts, and our love of Bernard Cribbins!
