The Doctor's Companions Ep. 49: Wi-Fi for Dummies

March 08, 2017 in Rated F

We talk about Season 7, Episode 7 “The Bells of Saint John” and Episode 8 “The Rings of Akhaten”. We reminisce about our first memories of the Internet as it seems Clara is also new to the concept of the Internet and Wi-Fi. And when Clara's first trip aboard the TARDIS leads to a disproportionately intense face-off with a sun god, we try to focus on the good parts of these first Clara episodes.

January 27, 2017 in Rated F

Tish and Juliana talk about Mad Max: Fury Road and reboots, remakes, & sequels. An anomaly amidst a growing sea of mediocre franchise movies, Mad Max: Fury Road is a favorite of ours that we love to talk about.

December 18, 2016 in Rated F

Welcome to Mother Goose Village! Where all your favorite nursery rhyme characters live and sing and dance! While we were disappointed in the lack of Christmas in the movie, we were blown away by the beautiful Mother Goose Village sets and found our new favorite classic movie star; Annette.

In the Movies Ep. 26: Love Actually & Hyperlink Cinema

December 09, 2016 in Rated F

Tish and Juliana talk about Love Actually and hyperlink cinema. We break it down into individual stories and determine which are sweet and which are terrible. Why do we watch Love Actually every year, but hate all other multiple-plots movies? Christmas covers a multitude of sins...
