In the Movies Ep. 18: Lost and Delirious & LGBT

February 05, 2016 in Rated F

We discuss how this indie lesbian teen drama is really more of a study of Paulie's mental health and we barely scratch the surface of LGBT representation in media; it's a big issue.

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 23: Sontar-Ha! Potate-Oh!

January 29, 2016 in Rated F

Despite our disappointment in seeing Martha again and wanting to just punch that genius kid in the face, we did have fun with these Sontaran episodes! We continue to be amazed with Donna and how her character is developing. So smart. So funny. So brave. The DoctorDonna have some great moments and one of our favorite characters, Wilf, is back! What a fun, yet annoying, story!

This week's question was quite creative- Since the Sontarans look like potatoes, we wondered what other vegetables or fruits would be good inspiration for a Doctor Who alien. Linda, the artist of our group, drew her creation inspired by an eggplant, Juliana forgot to bring in her drawings of rutabaga and carrot-inspired aliens, and I didn't have an alien creation exactly, just a fruit of inspiration.

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 22: Pompeii History Lesson

January 14, 2016 in Rated F

What's that you hear? A beautiful new intro for the podcast? Why, yes it is. And then, what's this, we have a Twitter? Why, yes we do! Follow us @DrsCompanions and then join in the podcast fun by answering questions and generally saying what up. You can tweet us your answers to our episodic questions, like this week's question about Peter Capaldi being announced as the Twelfth Doctor. Juliana and I had some issues with the reuse of a Whoniverse actor. But we move on and enjoy learning all about what really went down at Pompeii (or what I think really went down). And then I get weird again, asking about the Ood's bodily functions...

In the Movies Ep. 16: Christmas Party By Proxy

December 19, 2015 in Rated F

It ain't a holiday without a Drunk Disney episode from your favorite podcasters/drunks! This time, we're watching 90's teen heart throb, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (not his real name, as we discover) in a delightfully terrible Christmas movie. Also starring the ageless beauty Jessica Biel as our new feminist hero.

As usual, when we get drunk and try to talk about a movie, we end up talking about so many other topics that have nothing to do with the movie. This time, we talk a lot about how annoying it is that we had to record while my landlords are having their Christmas party upstairs. Apologies if the crappy electric guitar sounds make it impossible to listen to the podcast at all, but we weren't going to cancel a date to get drunk. Oh no, we have a responsibility to our listener(s?) to provide you with a festive, drunk podcast before Christmas, so here it is. Upstairs Christmas party and all.

Here are the drinking game rules that we used for the movie, including the ones we made up as we watched.

Drink every time...

Your heart is warmed.

Someone says "Merry Christmas!"

You sing along with a Christmas carol

Someone says "The spirit of Christmas" (or similar)

You see a mall Santa and/or a Santa costume

You see an angel or a guardian angel-type character

Christmas decorations being used incorrectly

There's a disaster!

Someone calls Jake (JTT) "Santa"

Jake is in a new state

One of the college dudes refers to himself as "-man" (ie Ed-Man)

And don't forget the classic Santa hat on the corner of the TV. Drink every time it looks like someone is wearing it.

The next podcast will be our 2015 Year in Review, so stay tuned! And check out our latest (spoiler-free) movie review video for Carol!

Buddy the Elf is Just Like Us!

December 14, 2015 in Rated F

Oh, hello. You’re probably here about the story...

It's the story of a grown-up who loves Christmas a little too much. Like we all do, right? Elf is the most relatable Christmas movie because we (just me?) have so much in common with Buddy...

In the Movies Ep. 15: The Family Stone & Ensemble Casts

December 11, 2015 in Rated F

We're getting Christmassy on the podcast! We have fun talking in depth about one of our favorite Christmas movies, The Family Stone. We break it down how characters are introduced, what characters tell us about themselves and other characters, and how creepy Everett actually is. We talk way too long about the movie until we briefly talk about other types of ensemble movies. We agree the separate-but-connected type never really works, and how movies like The Avengers use an ensemble cast in an entirely different way.

Plan Like the Doctor Workshop

Doctor's Companions Ep. 21: Christmas BFFs

December 10, 2015 in Rated F

It's Christmas time at the podcaaaaast! We choose our favorite Christmas specials and then talk about how much Linda loves Kylie and Juliana and I love Russell Tovey. There's a lot to talk about in this Christmas special, even though we don't think it's that great.

And then it's The DoctorDonna! I think we can all agree that The Doctor and Donna miming/mouthing/signing at each other across the room is one of the best scenes in television ever, right? And then there's the cute little Adipose! What a great way to lose weight and meet some cute lil aliens! We are so excited for this season with Donna. She's an amazing character and their relationship is just the best!

Our question for episode 23 is a weird one:

What vegetable or fruit would you like to use as inspiration for a Doctor Who alien? Sometimes we struggle with coming up with questions related to the episodes, so the potato-looking Sontarans is the direction we went.

In the Movies Ep. 14: Entourage and TV Show Movies

November 27, 2015 in Rated F

Yeah! Oh yeah! My boys are back! Juliana and I have a great time talking about the Entourage characters that we know and love on another Hollywood adventure. We talk about what we love about each of the characters and lament over the lack of female characters, and how terrible the few are represented.

The Entourage movie really felt like the show which is great as a viewer of the show, but other TV show movies don't accomplish that. We agree Serenity is the best example of how to end a TV show with a movie (R.I.P. Firely. Gone too soon.) and the second Sex and the City movie was unnecessary and ridiculous. We also discuss the countless movies based on old TV shows that are made in an attempt to reboot the property. (Dukes of Hazard, anyone?)

We're very excited and looking forward to our next couple of episodes. That's right, we actually have them planned already! We're getting Christmassy with the next episode about The Family Stone and ensemble casts. And then we're getting really Christmassy with another Drunk Disney episode watching I'll Be Home for Christmas starring JTT. We've never seen it before, so send us your drinking game ideas, or we're going to have to make it up as we go along!

Don't forget, we're making videos now, too! So far, we're just reviewing new movies that we see at advanced screenings or in theatres (spoiler-free) but in the new year, we'll be doing some more movie-related fun sketch/vlog kind of videos! Find In the Movies videos on my channel;

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 19: Chan Don't Blink Tho

November 19, 2015 in Rated F

This week, we have fun talking about two great episodes. While everyone is trying not to blink, I'm wonder if the camera/us, the viewers, count as a set of eyes, because the Weeping Angels are statues when no characters can see them, but the camera is on them. Plot hole? Or Moffat fucking with the fourth wall?

Speaking of Moffat, he had something great to say about writing for Doctor Who in the corresponding episode of Doctor Who Confidential. "You know you've got a good Doctor Who story if you think- Well, I've just blown that feature film idea. That's the size of story you need for 45 minutes of Doctor Who." Do you agree? Are Doctor Who episodes little feature films? I think the good ones are.

And then we travel to the end of the universe- with Captain Jack Harkness! He's immortal! What?! Only a surprise if you didn't also watch Torchwood. Chan and then we get introduced to Chantho, my favorite insect/humanoid tho. And, who's this? A very brilliant professor, or someone else...? It's the beginning of The Master! But, more relevant to us, we are introduced to Hermits United. Great fun. For a hermit.

Send us your answers to this week's questions! We answered which episode we would show an outsider to get them hooked on Who, and asked what's your favorite Christmas episode?

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 18: The Professor and The Maid

November 13, 2015 in Rated F

It's the beginning of something wonderful... We love this two-parter and agree that this is where the show hits its stride and never looks back! No more episodes we begrudgingly watch just because we have to, nearly every episode from now on is spectacular! The rest of this season is great (Blink! The Master!) and then we've got Donna for a season, and then the age of Moffat begins!

We love this story so much we don't even hate Martha! She's mostly awesome and take-charge in awful, racist 1913, until she whines about her unrequited Doctor love again. On top of just terrible 1913, there are also a truly terrifying villain, the scarecrows. Legit scary. And then The Doctor himself gets legit terrifying with his dark and twisted punishments for the Family of Blood...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

In the Movies Ep. 13: It's My Birthday!

November 06, 2015 in Rated F

Celebrate my birthday with me and my ten favorite movies! In this special birthday episode, we record the podcast by candlelight and learn about my life in movies. You'll notice a big difference between my and Juliana's top ten lists. My movie choices, and a reason I chose each of them, are visually stunning. It's a big part of my movie watching experience; the sets, art direction, animation style, location, colors, wardrobe, etc. Juliana's list, however, was focused on groundbreaking filmmaking and acting performances. Just another example of we come at movies from different perspectives; I, a filmmaker, and Juliana, an actor.

All of these movies affected my life in big ways. They may not have the same effect on you if you're not a thirteen year old girl watching Thirteen, but I, of course, I recommend you watch all of these movies. If nothing else, maybe you'll get to know me better, which I know is the real reason you're here.

In the Movies Ep. 12: Drunk Hocus Pocus

October 30, 2015 in Rated F

It's not Halloween if you don't watch Hocus Pocus! We got drunk watching Hocus Pocus and then talked about it! But everyone knows Hocus Pocus, and if you haven't seen it in a while, then you should be listening to our drinking game rules, watching/drinking, and then finishing the podcast. So, instead of talking about the movie we all just watched, let's talk about... remedies for the colds we both have, my birthday plans, our plans to be the Sanderson Sisters for Halloween next year, the spider crawling up my wall, Juliana's crush on Billy Butcherson, Thackery's little sister fetish, our relationships with our brothers, my issue with how many colors should be in a rainbow, my hair cut, our high schools' arts and techs programs, the Descendants sequel and Juliana offends possibly everyone with her lisp, black sass, holocaust reference, and poor Spanish.

Yup, this podcast is all over the place and it's great! So, who wants to be Winifred for Halloween next year? Juliana is Mary and I'm Sarah, so...

Here are the rules I collected from various sources on the world wide web.

Drinking Game Rules

Binx emotionally says his sister’s name “Emily”

Anyone says the word “Virgin”

“BoooOOOoook!” opens its eye

The Sanderson Sisters get upset for being called ugly or old

You see Ernie’s “ICE” shaved head

Dani says the word “Yabbos”

cries

screams

Winnie says “SISTAHS!”

Winnie smacks/hits/shoves one of her sisters

The sisters cast a spell together

Sarah flirts with a boy

The sisters sing or dance

When the bullies call Max “Hollywood”

Binx dies and comes back to life

Billy Butcherson loses a body part

Whenever the Sanderson sisters are confounded by the modern world

Conversely, drink every time the Sanderson sisters have knowledge of things they should have been dead for

Shots for title mentions, Duh!

Have a happy Halloween/Tish's Birthday! Drink responsibly! While watching Disney movies!

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 17: Tish is Here!

October 29, 2015 in Rated F

This week we talk about a number of fascinating things, most of which have nothing to do with the episodes. You know us, when the episodes aren't interesting we find other stuff to talk about. Like what Linda thinks of the twelfth Doctor. (She's almost caught up!)

We have a variety of answers for this week's question; Which baddie would you like to see become an ally? And we discuss the idea that The Doctor changes his appearance when he regenerates to match his current companion.

But then we get to the important stuff: Tish, Tish, Tish! We get to know Martha's sister Tish! I obsess over her name, her full name (Letitia! The same as mine! Even the spelling! That never happens!), and the Doctor saying my name. *Swoon* I also suggest that someone could pull off this de-aging thing as an elaborate prank and wish that The Doctor would just straight-up kill a bad guy for once instead of putting everyone's lives at risk with his elaborate plans to indirectly kill bad guys.

And then we go to

The Impossible Planet

42 minutes until we crash into the sun. We discuss the various scientific inaccuracies, although Linda assures me that a good gangster tint on the windows would be enough to protect their eyes that close to the sun. We all cheer when Martha is jettisoned away and think that she and that guy should definitely hook up and she can forget about The Doctor because

it's never gonna happen, gurl

! Oh, and Harold Saxon is no longer just whispers, he is real.

So, have fun listening to us complain more about Martha and bad science, and for episode 19 tell us which episode would you choose if you had to choose just one to show someone to get them interested in Doctor Who.

My Favorite Witches

October 27, 2015 in Rated F

I've always felt an innate kinship to witches. I like to think it's because I was born on Halloween. I'm sure the deeper psychological reason is because witches are powerful women. I always hoped I would wake up one day with magic powers and I would finally be as unique and special and capable as I felt inside.

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 16: Art Deco Daleks

October 22, 2015 in Rated F

This week is full of good times because instead of discussing these mediocre episode, we have fun talking about Dalek snails, whether or not Martha has showered yet and learning about the Cult of Skaro.

First thing's first: Here is the amazing picture Linda made for me!

This week's question; What would you change about the Daleks? Linda and Juliana really want to get rid of the useless plunger immediately while I imagine a Dalek that leaves a snail trail as it glides around.

We hate hearing the ridiculous American accents and yell at Martha to change her clothes! And then we wonder if she has showered since she got on the TARDIS, and what the TARDIS shower facilities might be like. But that Dalek art deco style, doe! They may be evil but they got the look. We learn about the Cult of Skaro and the OG Daleks. Then we get scared by loud noises upstairs (possibly a murder, but we'll let you decide) before deciding that Daleks fart out that vent area in the middle, and that pig face Laszlo should consider a new life as a truffle hunter.

But we want to hear from you! What would you change about the Daleks? What would you do with your pig face? What do you think Daleks eat/consume and where does their poop/farts go? Wanna make us some fan art? And definitely answer this week's question so we can read it on episode 18: If you were a time lord with a chameleon arch, what object would yours be?

In the Movies Ep. 11: Coraline and 3D Technology

October 07, 2015 in Rated F

This week we watched one of my favorite movies, and I got to research a topic that I have been interested in for quite some time. It's a very technological episode as the making of a stop-motion movie like Coraline is very technically challenging, and 3D movies is a technology with a lot of history.

I think the most interesting, and a little surprising, fact that I learned about 3D technology is that it's been around almost as long as photography has been around and it hasn't changed much since then. It's still the basic concept of giving each of your eyes a different image to see that your brain puts together as a perception of depth.

Neither Juliana nor I are fans of seeing movies in 3D these days, but it was fun to watch Coraline at home with the pink and green 3D glasses. Okay, we didn't make it through the whole movie, but we gave it a chance.

Unlike Juliana, I saw Coraline in theatres, and bought the DVD when it came out because I loved it so much. In fact, I love Coraline so much that while I was waiting for Juliana to come over to watch the movie, I had some fun on

Coraline.com

. You can interactively explore the whole world of Coraline on the site, see movie clips, behind-the-scenes clips, and have fun giving yourself button eyes and spelling your name in mice. I highly recommend checking out the site and having some fun!

Here are your links, as promised. Have fun learning about how 3D glasses work. Maybe you'll understand polarized light better than I did...

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 15: Thou Art Stuck in Traffic

October 01, 2015 in Rated F

Martha gets the standard one trip to the past, one to the future, new companion test. Juliana, the theatre student, geeks out over Shakespeare stuff (I think she was one step away from reciting the podcast in iambic pentameter). I find the "witches" words instead of numbers kind of science/magic to be interesting, while the futuristic traffic jam gives me plenty to complain about. 5 billion years in the future and we still have cars and traffic jams?

We answer the question of where & when we would like to go if we had to stay on Earth. A little bit forward? All the way back? Pterodactyls? And ask you the question: Which baddie would you like to see come back as The Doctor's ally? We've seen it before in Madame Vastra and Strax.
