Something ood is afoot in the Ood Sphere! Yes, it's capitalism and exploitation come to wreck yet another civilization! Aren't we humans grand? Yes, this time we watch the wintry classic Planet of the Ood and weigh its message against the legendary, heavy-handed Orphan 55 (good news, not as heavy). And programming note: we may not be reviewing the …

Well, if you have "Rock Lobster" by The B-52s stuck in your head now, you're welcome. Because this time we review The Fires of Pompeii! Guest stars of future past, the world through Donna's eyes, and a wicked twist to the choice the Doctor has to make that we pretty much had forgotten about! Join us, won't you?…

Friends, this month we take a look at the interesting life of one Riley Hansard Crabb. From his years in Hawaii and the Akualele Research Group to his time with the Borderland Science Research Association and into some of the stranger talks/books/booklets he's published. And yes, there are some Keel-ian almost Hellier-esque connections to be made. …

Well, we're clearly coming out of something of an election hangover and while there's work to be done on that front, we're also coping with a bit of Doctor Who! This time we compared The Shakespeare Code to a summer's day! And it held up pretty darn well! Not only that, but we've moved ourselves and the podcast over to Bluesky so be sure to check t…

What will the world look like in the near future? A question that seemed fun and fancy free when asked and fully freighted now. But step into the future with us when we try to predict upcoming trends and, in one case, an anti-trend. It's a fun hour, leave your worries by the door they'll still be there when you leave!Our art is by @ManOverMars and …

Friends, have you voted yet? Do you perhaps need something to keep you company while you wait in line? Or maybe something to prevent you from doomscrolling your way through the day? Well, then let us offer you about an hour's respite from the election with our review of Smith and Jones (who, frankly, we'd definitely vote for!).…

This month we're taking a look at the Rosicrucians! Not the AMORC order itself, but recounting what it was like to grow up essentially in the shadow of their museum and headquarters in San Jose, California! Yep, your hosts lived a small handful of blocks from this unusual property in the heart of Silicon Valley! Perhaps we'll discover just how much…

Hello! One Talk à Deux coming up straight out of the oven hot and fresh just for you! We express our bi-monthly gratitude at the everyday wonders around us and prepare to segue for our lives in the next episode!Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions. We're a proud member of the Night of the Living Gee…

Well, here's something new for your week...our review of New Earth! We'll spare you all the superfluous "New"s and instead point out that we forgot how solid this story was. It's one part Freaky Friday and two parts Night of the Living Dead!Also, don't forget to vote! That's super important that you do that. Because our next episode will literally …

We're talking about 1988's Beetlejuice in this culture club episode because the sequel came out only a month ago, and only a month after we recorded it! We talk about unpopular truths and I'm pretty sure I'm right (Hi, I [Nick] edited this one so it's me writing the description, how are you?) about which hand the Statue of Liberty is holding her to…
  continue reading
 
Naturally, we had to follow Bad Wolf with The Parting of the Ways! We look back at the first season finale of Modern Who and remember what it was like to experience this all for the first time, what a bigger surprise it would have been if we didn't know a regeneration was coming, and how the effects hold up halfway decently for an almost 20 year ol…

October is here and, with it, spooky season has arrived in full force (despite the very not fall-like temperatures here in California)! So what better month for us to do our very first vampire story and it's a corker!! Seb brings us the tale of David Farrant and his efforts to rid London of the vampire in Highgate Cemetery. Mind you, he doesn't kic…

Better late than never is what we always say! While this episode posting may have been quite delayed, it is still jam packed with some weather, dark thoughts and laughs, and it’s very bovine-tastic.Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions. We're a proud member of the Night of the Living Geeks network of…

If watching Eccleston's penultimate episode this week has taught us anything, it's that even the deep future of humanity is going to still be fixated on late 20th and early 21st century pop culture! Your guess as to why is just as good as ours! But it is a trope amongst others that we discuss this time...a long with why the heck the Daleks decided …
  continue reading
 
He would have gotten away with it, too! If it wasn't for those meddling kids and their crotchety old Time Lord!Yes, this week we watched The Sensorites! Honestly, a pretty good six-parter that wasn't exactly fast-paced and full of action, but also didn't really have pacing problems either. What it did have was one really crazy Sensorite who did not…

Happy September, everyone! Just because it's the start of meteorological Fall that doesn't mean that we're not pining for a tropical escape before the weather here starts turning cool(er). So this month PCL goes Hawaiian as we take a look at an unusual CEIII case from the mid-1940s on Oahu and make potential connections to an early 19th century cas…

Man do we hope you like tangents because we were on something this episode and you can tell Silly Season has started from the intro! Is astrology Good, Actually? Plus a Clarkson's Farm update and some of the meanest things we've ever said. Are we proud of these mean things? ....I mean, yeah, kinda, in a way... And then we draft our favorite days!Ou…

Well, folks, we were warned. We were warned that The Mutants was going to be a bit of a slog. And let us tell you, it was definitely a bit of a slog. Especially after Fear Her. But! It wasn't all bad. We worked our magic and found what we really enjoyed about this story: the costuming, the sets, Jo, Stubbs & Cotton, and just how utterly bonkers epi…

We discuss the weirdest movies this Wednesday! And through some cosmic plan we hyperfocus on certain topics often such as sportsball, food, and World of Warcraft. This episode does not disappoint. We also review all things nerdy, and put cheaters on notice.Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions. We're…

Well, we have a saying around here, folks...They can't all be great. And when that happens, we do our best to try and Sleep No More it into something we would have liked. With Fear Her, honestly, we did our best. We really tried, but it just isn't something we liked much at all. This episode actually makes Raygun's breakdancing look good.…
  continue reading
 
August is here and with it we take a look at two different Merlins! Two Merlins, however, who both have interesting ties to UFOlogy. First seen in our second episode as All Night with the Living Geeks, Ambassador Merlyn Merlin II was a mutton-chopped feature of the Alien Highway movie. Frankly, without his efforts we wouldn't have that stretch of H…

Hey, have you ever wondered about....... REVENGE? Well so have we, though we are alas too pure and good to have ever actually gotten real REVENGE so we discuss what we did instead. Then we chat a lot about a show that Classi is getting back into! What celestial body would you fist fight if you could? And would you want to raise a clone of yourself?…
  continue reading
 
Well, friends, we were right! The Invasion of Time definitely influences the creation of Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS! This time around, though, the TARDIS is scooped up by salvagers during a vulnerable moment and then the race is on to locate Clara and fix the engines before everything goes to heck!…

Welcome to Wednesday, winners! We dig in deep on our World of Warcraft thoughts and experiences before asking an age-old question about what skills we could spontaneously master. For our culture club we watched Clarkson's Farm and learn a lot about SOIL and boy do we have thoughts!Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez b…

Friends, we are back in more ways than one! After a nice summer break after Ncuti's first season wrapped, not only are we back with a review of the 4th Doctor story The Invasion of Time, but the NOTLG website is back up and running! So when we say check the story notes, you absolutely can once again!…

Hello and welcome once again! Did you think we were done talking about allergies? Oh you foolish mortal, no, we are all Mother Nature's bitch and she will punish us for our hubris! We talk serving size lies and pies before moving on to our activity in which our deepest secrets are laid bare before you like Natalie Imbruglia once sang. Are you a cup…

Friends summer is here and that means one thing: reruns! Wait, you don't watch regular old broadcast TV anymore? Well, then how do you get your reruns?! Ah, yes, streaming. This month, we've grabbed hold of our Paramount+ subscriptions, fired up the old boob tube, and watched an episode of the original Star Trek series in which the crew of the Ente…

Well, here we are friends. At the end...of the season (not of everything, don't worry!). The Third Wave of Who (#thirdwavewho) is well underway and we've wrapped our season with Empire of Death! It certainly gave us a lot to chew on and discuss. And while we enjoyed the episode overall, there were some aspects of it that just didn't stick the landi…
  continue reading
 
Holy smokes, friends! The Legend of Ruby Sunday...the first part of our season finale...has given us so much to chew on! Not only is it the return of Sutekh to the show after almost 50 years, it's the possibility of who dropped Ruby at the church in 2004, it's how much we'd be very cool with a UNIT spin-off, it's speculation on Mrs. Flood, it's wil…
  continue reading
 
Welcome back! On the docket this week is the age old question of which animals are actually jerks? This season’s allergy arc possibly concludes? Whether you should stay up late into the deep AMs? How about falling into Fallout? There's a definite musical leitmotif as we talk the weirdest instruments and the fad that very briefly flared and died out…
  continue reading
 
This week we're joined by John's good friend and co-host on That Wrestling Show Neesin (@StayFlyLife) as we review Rogue and get a unique perspective of the Third Wave of Who from a brand new Whovian!All in all, Rogue was fantastic fun that fired on all cylinders and gave us more of an upbeat (though definitely emotional at times) romp before divin…
  continue reading
 
Well, good science fiction generates thought and causes us to look at the world around us in new ways. Based just on that, Dot and Bubble is quite the episode! This week, we break down our initial feelings, analyze them, filter them through a rewatch, and then find even more to talk about. No kidding, this really was quite the episode! Join us!…
  continue reading
 
Happy Wednesday! Let's talk about a weekend in April! We get into Edgar Allen Poe, the joy of play, and the instant and overwhelming regret generated from transitional lenses. Just don't do it! You don't want to look like you just got back from hustling at the local pool hall. A tough question is posed regarding things we should like, and we play s…

Our fellow humans, Disclosure is Imminent!!At least, that's what people have been saying for...well, for far longer than anyone has really realized! This month, we take a look at some of the more humorous and bizarre instances of people claiming that Disclosure is just around the bend. Oddly, history (especially with respect to Disclosure) has been…
  continue reading
 
73 Yards is one of those rare episodes where we can get away with a pun this literal in our title! But it's also an absolute banger of a Welsh horror story! RTD has pretty much knocked this one out of the park, but that doesn't mean that we aren't left with a great deal of questions about some unanswered things from this story and the greater myste…
  continue reading
 
Welcome back! Let's get ready to get gracious! We've been doing cleaning and it's putting a fine polish on our mental health. Nick starts naming names, just count how many people you don't know that he namechecks, including SOME both first and last names because, OH BOY, does he have boundary issues! An off-hand mention of a weird game leads to a d…
  continue reading
 
Here comes the...Boom is this week's episode and sees the return of showrunner Steven Moffat to write for the RTD2 era (aka: Third Wave Who...let's get that trending). And it's a tight, tense episode with one interesting surprise that we'll learn more about later. It's no a perfect episode, by any means, but we enjoyed it a good bit!The NOTLG site …
  continue reading
 
What's this?! Two episodes of Podcastica in the same day!? YES! And we're discussing THE DEVIL'S CHORD which gave us many many instances of shouting YES at the TV. This story was an absolute hurricane of crazy awesomeness and we loved it from stem to stern. So join us as we tinkle the ivories (we don't actually play the piano, but let's run with th…

Friends and listeners, DOCTOR WHO IS BACK! Oh boy, we could not be more excited as we have two episodes for you this week! First up is SPACE BABIES! Yep, babies in space. Complete with a booger man (we guess the Brits pronounce it bogeyman) and RTD's love of a decent fart joke (at least it helps save the day this time). We also marvel at the specia…
  continue reading
 
Buckle in because it's the beginning of our multi-episode allergy update arc! Nick drove forever and ever, and has Opinions about Arizona. For our discussion, we talk streaming services and tendencies, plus an obsessive reality show! It's a Culture Club week where we talk about 2023's British sci-fi rom-com coming of age martial arts masterpiece(?)…
  continue reading
 
This month on Phenomena City Limits...Sure! We could talk about Mothman and Bigfoot and, um, Sheep...squatch. But you've had a dozen other podcasts cover these guys. They get the limelight and all the attention and the slightly inappropriate bumper stickers on Etsy.But what about the Counter-Culture Cryptids? All the wild bugged-out-eyed crazies an…
  continue reading
 
It's Good Wednesday again, that means a piping hot Talk à Deux direct from the oven. Put on your ov-glove and dig in as we talk SPORTS! Not just a Huey Lewis album, but also a thing that people play! We discuss our personal relationship to SPORTS, whether it's SPORTS or SPORT, and then do a couple Madlibs for good measure. A heads up that our next …
  continue reading
 
Well, they can't all be complete winners. And while Boom Town is better than our last episode, The Long Game, it still isn't great. But, as we always do, we make our way through to find the good bits and polish them up as best we can. And on a programming note, we're going to take an extra week off to rest up, refresh, and be ready for the start of…
  continue reading
 
Now that it's spring it's so hot, isn't it? Does that make you thirsty? Could you go for a cold drink right about now? What about a hot bev? You like the hot bev and the cold bev, don't you? Well so do we! This episode we draft beverages and leave nothing on the table for anyone else!Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Danse…
  continue reading
 
Friends and listeners, we give you The Long Game! Voted the worst 9th Doctor story three times in a row, we have to admit that we mostly agree. Simon Pegg guest stars but has to play second fiddle to a poorly animated sack of meat with teeth. The universally panned Adam is here, but we actually find that he serves a purpose in this story. Plus...is…
  continue reading
 
No joke, friends! The April edition of Phenomena City Limits is here!! This month, Seb leads us on an interesting look at both tropical and sidereal astrology! He also shares what got him on this path and then we do a double-blind taste test between Pep...wait, no...that was something else. We do a double-blind test to see which astrology chart (tr…

Hello, internet! Long time, no see, how are you? You good? I love what you've done with your hair! We're back! In this episode I hope you brought the mustard because we brought the catchin' up! We embrace our inner old people and talk about what we've been doing for the past TWO YEARS.Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dans…
  continue reading
 
We accept that the animated recreations of missing Doctor Who episodes can be a little hit and miss at times. But, really, at the end of the day, we're glad that these stories exist in more than just black and white tele-snaps for viewers to enjoy! And, while we weren't bowled over by the animation this time, there's still lots to enjoy. So grab yo…
  continue reading
 
The Android Invasion probably won't be making anyone's list for most amazing 4th Doctor story ever. But that doesn't mean there aren't any enjoyable parts to the story. We have some crazy looking androids, the Kraal are...maybe rhino people?! And there are some plot twist that, we have to admit, we didn't really see coming. So join us for a quick e…
  continue reading
 
After a slight delay, episode two of Phenomena City Limits is here! This month, Seb takes the helm and leads us down an interesting path as he investigates The Orion Cube! Whether it's a bit of disinformation popping up across multiple stories or a piece of actual alien tech, the tale of the Orion Cube is definitely a wild ride!…
