Phenomena City Limits S02E08: Gumby's Close Encounter OR Clay DNA Will Save Us All 50:30

Play Pause

4d ago50:30

50:30

Everyone loves Gumby, right? That adorable though oddly shaped clay scamp who's always getting up to adventures with his friends? So what happened one episode in 1988 when Gumby encountered the grays!? Yes, this month we're looking at 7 minutes of UFO and alien lore expertly crammed into a single Gumby story. Did Clokey have an encounter of his own…

Podcastica Episode 348: The Moonbase OR Stupid Earth Brains 55:29

10d ago55:29

55:29

This time we continue our escape into Classic Doctor Who with the 2nd Doctor adventure The Moonbase! One half animated, one half live action, we find ourselves on the moon in 2070 where a single base with a single Graviton beam is somehow controlling all the weather on Earth! This definitely feels like a situation where redundancies would have been…

Podcastica Episode 347: The Ice Warriors OR No, John, That's a Real Bear 58:37

24d ago58:37

58:37

What does 70 pounds get you today? Not much, let's be honest. But in 1967 70 pounds got you an all-day bear rental so you didn't have to waste your money on stock footage!! And that's not the only exciting part of The Ice Warriors! It's a solid six-parter from the Troughton era that introduces these legendary foes and their very whispery tones!…

1:11:39

August is here and, with that, our Summer of John comes to a conclusion with the return of co-host John Pingel and our topic: John Titor! From his early faxes to Art Bell in 1998 to his online postings of the early 2000s, we take a look at Titor's claims, his possible motives, his manner of travel, and potentially the reality that it was all just c…

Podcastica Episode 346: The Power of Three OR Black Box Recordings 41:02

1M ago41:02

41:02

Well, folks, The Power of Three. Is it a reference to the strength of the Doctor plus his companions? Is it a reference to the "cubed" nature of our villains tools? Is it just something that sounded good in Chibnall's head as he wrote a rather glossed over story full of exceptional amounts of handwavium? We're not really sure and, as such, that cau…

WELL. Here we are once again! This week we're talking about the BLADE script being on it's 4th version, Taika Waititi's JUDGE DREDD, Neil Druckmann leaving TLOU Season 3, and how John for some reason doesn't like listening to singles before albums come out. It's weird. We don't quite understand it either. We also discuss the trailers for TRON: ARES…

Podcastica Episode 345: The Seeds of Doom OR Avoid the Krynoid 50:22

2M ago50:22

50:22

It came from beneath the ice!! Yes, sounds like the start of a 50s b-movie where some alien plant pod falls to Earth in the distant past only to be discovered by mankind and have it germinate and try to take over the world. It probably would have some sort of villain who hates mankind so much, he identifies more with the plants than with humans. Go…

1:03:58

Ladies and Gents and everyone out there, we are back after basically a month to recover from Ncuti's last episode. And we needed something light, something entertaining and the animated recreation of The Savages fits the bill! Set as something of an allegory on anti-apartheid South Africa, The Savages lets you think one thing early on and then has …

Phenomena City Limits S02E06 - John Frum OR What if God Was One of Us? 1:09:10

2M ago1:09:10

1:09:10

This month it appears we ask the question that no one else really has: what if John Frum were an actual person? Yes, we're looking at the John Frum Movement on the island of Tanna in the South Pacific. This cargo cult is legendary, but then we start to research who John Frum could have been and things get really interesting from there!…

We love a good double-entendre alternate title. And that might be one of the only good things about The Reality War. Honestly, folks, we are a positive podcast. We're always looking for the things we like in even the least enjoyable story (Sleep No More...remember?). Well, this one's a struggle. We definitely have some things we liked, but we absol…

1:09:43

The Story and The Engine is a fantastic story. That's it, that's the post. It's well written, it tells a story that we don't really see in Doctor Who, it's amazing to look at, and it provides representation where we really really haven't had it on this show. All of that is fantastic, so you'll hear a lot of that, a couple teeny nitpicks, and a lot …

Well, despite a few bits of logic we just couldn't quite reconcile, we still really enjoyed Lucky Day. Much like last season's Dot and Bubble, we have a good script and a character that's crafted specifically for us to hate him. We have a wrestling-level heel turn mid-episode that just sets us on our back foot for the rest of the adventure. Plus we…
