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

8d 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

14d 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…

YaketyCAST - Episode 121: OL' WHAT'S HIS NAME? 1:04:17

22d ago1:04:17

1:04:17

The rag tag hosts of YaketyCAST are back this week and they're joined once again by Tramell!

John finished like fifteen video games from last record and he gives his th…

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

28d 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!…

Phenomena City Limits S02E07 - John Titor OR Pix of Your Time Machine or It Didn't Happen 1:11:39

1M ago1:11:39

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…

YaketyCAST - Episode 120: Fist Fighting Astro The Dog! 1:04:39

1M ago1:04:39

YaketyCAST - Episode 119: It's Not Like Avatar! 49:48

2M ago49:48

49:48

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…

YaketyCAST - Episode 118: HUGE KryptoBros!! 1:05:30

2M ago1:05:30

Podcastica Episode 344: The Savages OR The Doctor Who Reacting Vibrator 1:03:58

2M ago1:03:58

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!…

YaketyCAST - Episode 117: Zuckerberg is ZuckerBACK!! 47:04

2M ago47:04

47:04

YaketyCAST is back this week with so much video games, movies, and tv news that you'll have to be carried off the pitch like our soon to be robot overloads during a soccer match! This week John gives us a review of ALAN WAKE and FBC: FIREBREAK. Ernesto tells us all about the new movie F1: Is it worth your time? Plus James Bond news, Michael Bay wan…

YaketyCAST - Episode 116: Cheetos? In My Popcorn? 1:18:01

This week it's MOVIE REVIEWS A PLENTY as our hosts talk about SIX movies they saw since they last spoke to you. They also discuss the Toxic Avenger and Eddington trailers, Jon Bernthal jo…

Podcastica Episode 343: The Reality War OR The Moment Was Not Prepared For 1:18:25

3M ago1:18:25

1:18:25

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…

3M ago1:47:43

1:47:43

We have two big things happening this month, friends! First, we have our first guest host as Seb is out on assignment. And we tackle the massive, wild, utterly bonkers story that is the Stardust Ranch in Buckeye, Arizona! From the original desire to have horse and dog rescue to the grays to the Brillomen to abductions, doppelgangers, the legendary …

Podcastica Episode 342: Wish World OR Doctor Who and the Seeds of Doubt 1:18:46

4M ago1:18:46

1:18:46

Oh boy, oh boy friends! Here we are...the penultimate episode of the season! And nothing is as it seems! Yes, sure, there's a bit of set up for what hopefully will be an insane season finale, but that's what penultimate episodes do, right? We've a new god of the Pantheon, we have a easy money-making scheme (selling yellow mugs), we have another sur…

YaketyCAST - Episode 114: The Vin Diesel of Ducks 1:17:29

4M ago1:17:29

1:17:29

FOLKS! We here at YaketyCAST pride ourselves on one thing and only thing only: Our love of the hit television show Mike & Molly. However, we could not dedicate an entire episode to just that so it's business as usual! This week Ernesto saw THREE MOVIES and has reviews for each of them for you, John spirit-bonded with a giraffe at the zoo, and both …

1
Podcastica Episode 340: The Story and The Engine OR Barbershop Under Siege 1:09:43

4M ago1:09:43

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 …

YaketyCAST - Episode 112 - Riding a Shark Like a Surfboard! 47:28

4M ago47:28

47:28

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ONE AND ALL. But mainly, just the mothers. This week on YaketyCAST the hosts discuss how fun it would be to ride a shark like a surfboard, or possibly running across the water really fast like in a cartoon. They also discuss GTA 6, The Last of Us, and how much the new Pope enjoys Words With Friends. Ernesto brings us a review of …

1
Podcastica Episode 339: Lucky Day OR Just Taze Him, Bro! 1:05:20

4M ago1:05:20

1:05:20

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…

YaketyCAST - Episode 111: His Name Is Marker 59:01

54:47

What happens when good carbohydrates go bad? Well, this month we look at the unusual tale of a haunting in England during the early 20th century that ate a family out of its bread stores! Yes, bread disappearing right before their eyes! We get it, fresh baked bread is THE BEST! Apparently this family's bread was so good that even the dead couldn't …

Podcastica Episode 338: The Well OR Shouting Hello Into the Void! 1:11:09

4M ago1:11:09

1:11:09

Well, we knew Lux was going to be a hard act to follow, but The Well does a bang-up job! And, by that, we mean that it's the entity banging these poor troopers all over the room in that one scene! Yeah, fantastic performances from everyone. More characters that we care about in a short time. And impressive return of a Modern Who monster we didn't r…

Podcastica Episode 337: Lux OR Here Comes the Sun 1:14:22

5M ago1:14:22

1:14:22

Oh boy! Oh friends! People have said the perfect episode of Doctor Who doesn't exist. That may be true, but we feel like Lux comes pretty darn close! Yes, there are some small nitpicks we have with the story, but they are but a match head compared with the power of the sun that this episode is! (see what we did there?) We're not even going to bore …

"I'll stop the world and weld with you! I've seen some changes and..."...they don't exactly make for a smooth start to the new season! That's right friends, Doctor Who is back for a new season and kind of like last season we start with a little bit of an uneven episode! We liked it, but we didn't love it. Belinda is fantastic, the effects are amazi…

Nothing like a brand new episode of YaketyCAST to start your week! What would be even better is if you listened to it while eating a brand new TRIPLE BURGER from Carl's Jr! Despite the last sentence, you can consume this new episode with or without food! This week our hosts talk about the Nintendo Switch 2, a whole lot of news coming out of CinemaC…

Podcastica Episode 335: Doctor Who & the Silurians OR The Bananas in Pajamas Connection 1:12:58

5M ago1:12:58

1:12:58

With just a couple weeks left until the new season of Doctor Who, we're cramming in Doctor Who and the Silurians! Pertwee's second story is part-mystery, part-medical drama, and loaded with sci-fi fun! While we wonder if the story needed to be seven parts, we do think they did a pretty decent job with the pacing. Plus we get some marvelous goofy fa…

1:11:26

Friends and fellow free thinkers, it's time to turn on, tune in, and drop a bit of whatever these guys are on! Yes, this month we're looking at a very very weird 1971 film called Rainbow Bridge. We think of it as something like a living, breathing self-help book. Sure there's some surfing, gorgeous views of Maui, but there's also drugs and rambling…
