Who's He? at The Movies | Halloween

As Halloween draws near, Phil decided to take a look at John Carpenter's 1978 slasher film, Halloween. This is the film that started all those horror movie tropes, the unstoppable monster and the final girl. But after all this time, is it still effective as a horror film or has time and the countless sequels and imitators lessened its impact?

The News

Phil and Paul catch up on the latest news including the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary concert and their thoughts on the new theme tune from Murray Gold. But of course, the big news is that all Doctor Who is finally coming to the BBC iPlayer. However, all is not what it seems as owing to a licensing dispute, An Unearthly Child will not be included! Phil and Paul discuss the furore over this.

Review - Voyage to the New World

It's Big Finish time! And this time the lads elected to listen to Voyage to the New World, starring Colin Baker as the Doctor and Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter as Jago and Litefoot. This story sees the TARDIS materialize in the past, and the Doctor's companions, Professor Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago, find themselves prisoners of the natives in the New World.

But there's something strange here - stranger than even the colonists, led by Englishman John White.

What are the ghostly children? And who is the Old Man of Croaton?

Phil and Paul remain somewhat confused by this audio play and that's not including whether this is part of the Jago & Litefoot range or the Sixth Doctor range?!? But how does the Jago & Litefoot double act hold up in this story set during the colonisation of America?

Who's He? at The Movies | The Last Voyage of The Demeter

This episode, Phil casts his eye over The Last Voyage of The Demeter, a take on a single chapter from Bram Stokers novel Dracula.

Telling the story or filling in the blanks of what happened on Dracula's voyage to the UK, this attempt to breathe live into the Dracula legend takes certain liberties with the text. But is it full of bite or is like a toothless vampire and sucks?

Who's He? TV | Ahsoka

Now that the recent Star Wars series Ahsoka has just finished airing on Disney Plus, Phil decided to sit down and record his views on this continuation of a Star Wars animated series that may just leave the casual viewer scratching their heads.

Doctor Who - The Anniversary Specials | Dimensions in Time

In their look back at Doctor Who anniversary specials of years gone by, Phil and Scott have now reached the 30th Anniversary of the show with Dimensions in Time. This 1993 tie into the BBC's annual charity fundraiser Children in Need, sees the Rani attempt to capture all the incarnations of the Doctor for reasons unclear on the set of the BBC soap opera Eastenders. Cue pointless 3D, unconnected scenes cobbled together as a story and an awful early 90's techno rendition of the Doctor Who theme tune.

But after Phil explains to Scott the reasons for the actors doing this for no money and Scott trying to pronounce Keff McCulloch, did either of them find any redeeming features amongst this disappointing mess?

Who's He? At The Movies | Dredd

Following on from Phil's look at 1995's Judge Dredd, this time Phil looks at 2012's Dredd starring Karl Urban. Was this the film that Judge Dredd fans were waiting for and did it banish the memory of Sylvester Stallone's helmetless take on Mega City One's finest?

But importantly, why did this film fail at the box office and what is the future for Ol' Stony Face on the big screen?

Review - The Mind Robber

In "The Mind Robber," the TARDIS is forced off course into a dimension of fiction. The Doctor (played by Patrick Troughton) and his companions, Jamie and Zoe, find themselves in a mysterious white void. They encounter various fictional characters and creatures from different literary works, including Medusa, Rapunzel and Gulliver and discover they all being manipulated by The Master (not that one).

Yes, come and join Phil and Paul in the Land of Fancy, er... I mean Fiction where all things are possible if the budget allows it. Our intrepid reviewing duo tackle the televised and written formats of this story and while they find a few minor differences, what did this story really add up to? But most of all, please believe in us otherwise we will cease to exi............

Doctor Who - The Anniversary Specials | Silver Nemesis

In this story celebrating the 25th anniversary of Doctor Who, the Doctor and Ace face off against the Doctors old enemies the Cybermen (complete with a shiny chrome overhaul), a group of Neo Nazi's fronted by Anton Diffring (who looks like he would rather be somewhere else) and an old enemy of the Doctors, Lady Peinforte, who are all after an ancient Timelord weapon made of living metal.

Scott and Phil sit down on a sweltering September evening and chewed the fat over this disappointing celebratory story that features scenes that end abruptly, a flimsy bow from Woolworths and has the dubious honour of making the Cybermen totally useless and defeating them with chocolate coins is the order of the day.

Scott's Short Reviews - Invasion of The Dinosaurs

The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on Earth in the midst of the chaos and begin investigating the cause of temporal disturbances that make dinosaurs appear on the streets of London. They discover that a group of scientists, led by the renegade scientist Professor Whitaker, are behind the scheme. They are using a device called the "time reversal" to bring dinosaurs to the present day, with the intention of "cleansing" the Earth by erasing the technological advancements that they believe have led to its decline.

Join a very tired Scott as he takes a video diary approach to reviewing this story and what will he make of those dinosaurs?

Doctor Who - The Anniversary Specials | The Five Doctors

This feature length episode of Doctor Who bought back the previous actors (well 2 of them anyway!) who had played the Doctor to join Peter Davison to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show.  In a tale of forbidden knowledge and power being sought on Gallifrey, just who is taking various incarnations of the Doctor out of time and dropping them into the Death Zone on Gallifrey to play the game of Rassilon?

Once again Phil and Scott sit down to discuss this celebratory story which sees Scott ask just what is canon before moving onto even pithier questions on the topic of the Raston Warrior Robots butt cheeks.

This episode has also been released to celebrate Doctor Who Podcast Day!

Review - Smile

This episode Phil is joined by Iain Martin from the All of Time and Space and Strangers in Space podcasts, where they chat about perhaps creating an Inspector Morse podcast before the thought of Laurence Fox puts them off, footballers perms, methods of writing a book and what it would be like to watch Doctor Who as a 10 year old again.

Oh and they also chat about Smile starring Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie.

Scott's Short Reviews - Animal

Margrave University in 2001, and Raine Creevy is enjoying her first trip into the future.

For the Doctor, there are mysteries to solve: what are the alien creatures imprisoned in the science labs? And what are the true motives of the student Scobie and his followers?

With enemies on all sides, the Doctor teams up with his old friend Brigadier Bambera and the forces of UNIT in a battle for the future of the whole world.

Scott flies solo this episode and records his thoughts on Animal from Big Finish featuring his favourite Doctor and companion, the 7th Doctor and Ace.

The News

The Fourteenth Doctor's new sonic screwdriver is announced via a very flashy trailer, Season 20 of Doctor Who gets the blu ray collection treatment and the 60th Anniversary Specials are being novelised via the medium of Target Books.

Review - Masters of War

Just for a change Phil and Paul have a listen to Masters of War, part of the Doctor Who Unbound series of audio stories from Big Finish. In this "what if" scenario, The Doctor (played by David Warner) and his travelling companion Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart land the TARDIS on Skaro and find that the Daleks have subjugated the Thals and the Doctor sets out to help them fight back. However not everything on Skaro is as it seems.

How will Phil and Paul react to a story that is not (gasp!) canon? Will David Warner live up to Paul's lofty expectations? And will Phil get his in his impression of a spaced out Mr. Burns? Listen to find out if any of this is true!

Review - The Faceless Ones

The TARDIS lands at Gatwick Airport in the 1960s, and the Doctor and his companions discover that some young people have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. The investigation leads them to Chameleon Tours and they uncover a fiendish plot to kidnap the youth of Britain!!

This unplanned podcast finds Phil and Scott chatting about The Faceless Ones starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. This is Scotts first animated story and his first Troughton story so there was a lot to discuss! This story is also notable for the departure of Ben and Polly from the TARDIS and both Phil and Scott reckon they have improved on part of episode six by creating their first Doctor Who reconstruction!

Doctor Who | The Anniversary Specials | The Three Doctors

As 2023 is the year of Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary, join Phil and a returning Scott as they chat about the first of the Doctor Who Anniversary Specials, The Three Doctors.

Starring Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell, energy emanating from a black hole targets UNIT headquarters searching for the 3rd Doctor. With this energy also threatening the Time Lords and the universe itself, the Time Lords send the 1st and 2nd Doctors to assist and discover the threat is from Omega, a long thought dead Time Lord who now exists in an anti-matter realm and is now hell bent on revenge.

During their discussion, Scott raises the subject of what happened to the Brigadier in this story and his dislike of CSO, before going off on a tangent on animated stories and Phil gives thanks to this story for contributing to the Who's He? Podcast.

Review - The God Complex

In this episode, the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, along with his companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), arrive at a mysterious hotel that seems to be a trap for unsuspecting victims. Each room in the hotel contains the worst fears of the people who enter them, and the fears manifest as a creature that eventually kills them.

To chat about this story, Phil is joined by Mark Cockram from the All Of Time and Space Podcast to chat about this story that Mark chose for discussion.  Obviously they get the chills about those damn ventriloquist dolls but for some reason the word "sexy" is used a couple of times for no apparent reason.

The News

In a surprise announcement, Bonnie Langford returns to our screens as Melanie Bush in the next series of Doctor Who and in other casting news, Lenny Rush is cast as Morris which sets Phil off rambling about the Doctor Who Marvel comics.

Omega's Tat Corner

This time Paul finds some pinball tat that makes their pair of them wistful about the amusement arcades of their youth, playing their favourite games and avoiding dirty old men.

Review - The Brain of Morbius

In the story, the Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on the planet Karn, which is inhabited by the Sisterhood of Karn. The Sisterhood possesses the Elixir of Life, a powerful substance that can extend a person's lifespan which they have been guarding for centuries. However, they have a longstanding conflict with the Time Lords of Gallifrey, who have forbidden the use of the elixir.  On Karn, the Doctor encounters the mad scientist Mehendri Solon, who is obsessed with creating a new body for the brain of the evil Time Lord Morbius.

As Phil and Paul discuss this classic Doctor Who serial and the differences between the TV and novelised versions, the subject of Brains Faggots is raised and Phil creates a new corn based snack, "Terrance Dicks Sticks".
