Doctor Whooch

In which we're not allowed to snog Byron. On this week's show, Danica and Brandon are talking about another banger, "The Haunting of Villa Diodati", in which Jack friggen' Harkness' warning comes home to roost at an important point of literary history. It's GREAT!

In which we have a good talk about things and stuff. On this week's show, we're digging into "Can You Hear Me?", which continues this series' string of addressing important modern issues with a sci-fi sheen. Not everyone is okay! At least not all of the time. And that's okay. We love you!

In which we regret using "sledgehammer" to describe a previous episode. If only we had known. On this week's show, Danica and Brandon worry about a poor man who is left for dead on a beach. Also, they talk in depth about Praxeus, and why subtly might not be a good thing these days. Outro is "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch.

In which I'M SORRY WHAT On this week's show, we're talking about "Fugitive of the Judoon" and um... so look, how do we even TALK about spoilers here? This episode was a lot, and got us right in our Russell T Davis' Feels and we're SO FRIGGIN EXCITED! YES! Outro music is "Til I Am Myself Again" by Blue Rodeo

In which we discuss facts - FACTS - about how Edison was a stupid dink and the absolute worst. And by facts, we mean drunk yelling. On this week's show, we're talking about "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror" and folks? Edison can eat several butts. That's really all we have to say about that. Enjoy the episode?

In which WOW HA HA FEELINGS On this week's episode Danica and Brandon dig into the Series 12 episode "Orphan 55" and folks, we're not gonna lie, the world is on fire and boy are we happy and terrified there's a show out there not pulling their sci-fi punches. Anyhow, get ready for A LOT, and also nonsense from Brandon.

In which we have theories. THEORIES! On this week's show, Danica and Brandon are talking about SPYFALL PART TWO and wouldn't you know it? They liked it. And may or may not have found some bits and bobs that remind us of the modern internet. Say, did you hear that Nazis are back? You'd think the world would have learned the first time, but NOPE. Outro music (we HAVE it this time!) is Skyfall by Adele

In which, we're back! And worse than ever? After (checks notes) six months away? Wow. Um... Brandon and Danica are back, because Doctor Who is also back! And holy HECK was it exciting. Anyhow, Spyfall is dope, and you can listen to us fight a timer in order to describe what the sweet hell just happened. Also, we won an award for being the best comic store in Canada, so EAT BUTTS other comic shops! Shut up, YOU'RE drunk. (Also, apologies for the lack of even the BARE MINIMUM of editing we usually do: GarageBand keeps freezing. Delightful.)

In which we are four eels. On this week's episode, Danica and Brandon continue with The Jumbly Season and hit up another Sarah Jane Adventure - "Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane". This one has a Space Rubix Cube and also, sweet ollies. Sk8 or Die, nerds! Outro music is "Ms Jackson" by Outkast Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

In which we remember the days of laser tag. On this week's Doctor Whooch, we're still plugging through the first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures with a little ditty called "Warriors of Kudlak" aaaannnddd... well, our notes say things like "everybody loves stick, dead dad, and Ds n Vs" so... work that out? Outro music is "Foux Da Fa Fa" by Flight of the Concords Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY    

In which parents are terrible. On this week's show, The Sarah Jane Adventures continue with the Series 1 two parter, Eye of the Gorgon. Brandon and Danica talk about evil space nuns (?) and how Maria's mom is the worst. Or probably second worst. They also mention they should have Paul as a guest on the show. And they did! Two weeks ago! Time travel is fun. Outro music is "Eye of the Tiger" by Paul Anka  

In which Brandon is a jerk. (But what ELSE is new.) Our eclectic 13th season of Doctor Whooch rolls on with a brand new Companions episode, featuring Paul Gifford of Drink This Pod! Danica and Brandon and Paul watch "Vincent and the Doctor" from Matt Smith's first season, and WOW is there a lot of feelings in there. Depression sucks, folks! And reach out if you need to. Outro music is "Why Do You Feel So Down" by Declan McKenna Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we learn that Danica takes nicknames very seriously. We're in the midst of the dry season (also known as "all of 2019, probably) with no new Doctor Who television content in sight, so we're continuing to explore the vast riches of other media... this time, with Big Finish audio! On this week's episode, we listen to an Eighth Doctor adventure, Blood of the Daleks, that has some similarities to a pair of episodes from the Russel "The" Davies run. As always, if you haven't listened to the audio itself, don't worry! You'll get all the info you need, except drunk. It's fine. Trust us. Outro music is "Ghetto Supastar" by Pras feat. Ol' Dirty Bastard & Mya Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which the Slitheen return which... wow. WHY. So hey, this is an episode about daddies - but strangely, Tennant is nowhere to be seen? What sorcery is this? It's the second batch of The Sarah Jane Adventures - "The Revenge of the Slitheen". And there is a baby. It is... horrifying. So. Yeah. Outro music is "DADDY (feat. CL)" by PSY Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we eat our mistakes. On this perfectly normal episode of Doctor Whooch, Danica and Brandon are digging into The Sarah Jane Adventures with "Invasion of the Bane!" Grab your legitimate sodas and your rad kicks as we dig into what was the absolute opposite of Torchwood during the Russell "The" Davies era of Doctor Who. Outro music is "Starlight" by Muse  

In which we have completely normal conversations about past Doctors ha ha ha no YOU'RE making it weird. On this entirely normal edition of Doctor Whooch, Danica and Brandon celebrate by not making anything weird at all while watching "School Reunion" once more. They do this for a reason. Listen to the episode! And do not send us human meat. Outro music is "Side to Side" by Ariana Grande Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

In which we doom all Gregs to their sad, stupid lives for good. #NotAllGregs On this fine, upstanding episode, Danica and Brandon are talking about ALLLLLLLL of Series 11, featuring the 13th Doctor and her best friends. Her fam. Through the fog of a lot of damn alcohol, they manage to crystallize some opinions about how Chibnall runs the show, in contrast to Russell "The" Davies and Steven "Garbage Panda" Moffat. They are very nice about it, and no one is cussed at. No one. Not even you. Outro music is "5 Years Time" by Noah and the Whale Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we have NO idea what ASMR is, but we sure do have some guesses. Welcome to 2019, jerks! Danica and Brandon are kicking the year off with their take on "Resolution", the best Doctor Who episode of 2019. Spoiler alert: the villain is not humanity this time - humanity, empathy and love, are the cure. Also there's stuff about families and relationships and being a person in there. It's pretty good. Always punch Nazis, thanks byeeeeee.

In which we bid a fond farewell to the fam. On this week's show, Danica and Brandon watched "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" and they have some thoughts! Mostly about character development through the season, but partly on the show's continuing efforts to confront ideas that are really tearing down society. Like organized religion! Yayyy! Outro music is "TV" by Colleen Brown

In which Norwegian Erik is a terrible father. Seriously. Just the worst. On this week's show, Danica and Brandon discuss "It Takes You Away", in which an idiot makes a lot of terrible life choices, and then has to be saved from destroying all of existence. Could you imagine? "Oh, how did the universe end. With the Time War? Some bullshit with the Daleks? Nah, it was Erik, who wanted a couple more dirty smooches." GTFO of here, Erik. You dummy. Outro music is "Ribbons" by Ingrid Michaelson

Hi, there's no metaphors in "witch hunting", is there? GOOD MORROW kind folks and WELCOME to this SALACIOUS episode of the Doctor's Whooch, as presented by the DELECTABLE Danica and the BAWDIFOROUS Brandon. THIS WEEK! A missive regarding "THE WITCHFINDERS", starring one Mr. ALAN CUMMING, and it may in fact be his GREATEST performance since the RADIANT JOY of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS was BESTOWED upon this world. It was fun. Outro music is "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we invited the ire of a billionaire. But I mean... what ELSE is new. On this week's show, it's "Kerblam!" - the 7th episode in the stellar 11th series of Doctor Who! In what might be our best (or worst?) episode yet, we lobby to get paid a lot of money to help the masses. And only a heartless person would deny our request. Outro music is a "Bitch Better Have My Money" by Rihanna Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

What part of "be a good person" was hard to understand? On this week's episode, Danica and Brandon are talking about the series 11 episode of Doctor Who entitled "Demons of the Punjab" as only two white people can: with unearned confidence. Which makes them uncomfortable and awkward. So hey, all in all, a pretty regular episode of the show. Enjoy! Outro music is a "First Love" by Emmy the Great Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Apologize? Apologize for what! On this week's show, Danica and Brandon are talking about "The Tsuranga Conundrum", which puts The Doctor and Team TARDIS in a bit of a space pickle. Also, there's a wild space pregnancy, and a WHOLE LOT OF BROKEN FAMILY FEELS. And a cute as hell monster creature. So. There's that. Outro music is a "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

WHY WOULD YOU SUGGEST IT? On this week's show, Brandon goes it alone... sort of... as Danica's phobia of spiders comes into play. Thankfully, Kat from Verity is on hand, as a great guest host to talk about the series 11 episode... (checks papers) "Arachnids in the U.K." Which is almost definitely about space unicorns and not spiders. Almost definitely. Outro music is a metal cover of Sex and the City we found on the internet. Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY You can find Kat on Twitter at @xanister. 

In which SURPRISE! Racism isn't cured. On this week's episode, Danica and Brandon are two white people talking about the Series 11 episode "Rosa", so you know... take our drunk opinions for what they are. Also hey, feel free to hit the internet for more pertinent voices. We have a link to some in the show notes. K thanks byyeeeeeeeee. Outro music is a metal cover of Sex and the City we found on the internet. Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY There's a pretty good list of folks to listen to on all matters regarding the Rosa episode here.

In which NO ONE CRIES HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST IT. On this week's episode, The Doctor and her best friends are out in spppaaaaaaaaaace! Which is slightly problematic when you're, you know, in the vacuum of it, and not in a ship. But no worries! There are ships, and Brandon and Danica DEFINITELY remember the names of who the pilots were and they don't at all ruin the emotional resonance of many scenes. Anyway, hey! It's "The Ghost Monument" and it is brilliant, and thank you all for listening. Outro music is "Best Friend" by Foster the People Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY You can listen to "So You Think You Can Danica" with Danica and our good friend Devin R. Bruce by heading over here!

On this week's show... uh... huh. I dunno. Did anything cool happen recently? With Doctor Who? Ah, we'll think of something. FINALLY, Doctor Who is back, and it is a brand new era, with Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor, and a bevy of new folks behind the scenes! Do we have opinions? Will we compare this to Moffat era stuff? All good questions, you. Clever, clever. Do a listen, and we're sure you'll find the answers you're looking for, just... fairly incoherently. Outro music is "Changes" by Bananarama Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we bid Devin adieu as we send him into the SEA... ...of our gratitude. Also, it is his last episode for now. Sad faces all around! Well, it has come to this. The last episode of Miracle Day, and the last episode of Torchwood. It has been a ride. As Danica and Brandon bid a fond farewell to their season long guest, they all endure and episode where there is a lot of blood, and the world has two buttholes. And if you control the buttholes, you control the world, but only if you have special blood? Torchwood is wild, y’all. And there wasn't even a lizard people conspiracy!  Outro music is "Deeper Than Beauty" by Sloan Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Well, THAT took a turn. And that's saying something... seeing how we're still watching Torchwood. Folks, Brandon, Danica, and Devin are almost done with this run. It's the home stretch! The second last episode - Torchwood: The Gathering. In which a bunch of nerds meet up at the centre of the earth to cast spells or something? Who knows at this point. All we REALLY know is that there's a thing with blood and possibly vampire mole men. What. It could be a thing. Outro music is "Explode" by Balthrop, Alabama Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

More Torchwood! Will Devin ever forgive us for making him watch these? WHO KNOWS. Torchwood keeps being Torchwood in the eighth episode of Miracle Day. Apparently, three old white dudes wanted to live forever and so now things are really bad because people are dumb and horrible. But don’t worry! This can be solved with a dead lover, and fancy floor paneling. So that’s what WE’VE been up to. Howsabout you?

Thrust is a very important part of Torchwood. Very important. Danica, Brandon and Devin are still trying to make their way through Torchwood's "Miracle Day", and have arrived at episode seven, "Immortal Sins". While Torchwood is usually a catalyst for (entertaining) trash, this week it actually opens up a good conversation about bi-sexuality in popular media. The perfect thing to discuss while drunk! Anyway, it’s not bad, because the flashbacks are good, but then it gets back to the plot, and that's a horrible mistake, just like this season. There. We said it. Outro music is “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which WE CREATE A GOD. We're back, and still on our bullshit, watching more of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Specifically, "The Middle Men" So watching this is a trip, friends. Was Russell T. Davies trying to warn us about the future using VERY FLAWED TELEVISION? Let’s say that is the case, otherwise, WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS. Also: a woman taking down her terrible, rich boss is our favourite person. Who would have guessed! Also also? A Superman! Pysch? And what 80s and 90s cartoons were Super Drugs.

Spoiler alert: the bleakest Torchwood episode is here. On this week's show: ash. Sadness. The void grabs our souls with cold tendrils, refusing to let go. All in all: Torchwood. Danica, Brandon and Devin push their way through the 5th episode of Miracle Day, entitled "Categories of Life", and let's just say... it's an experience. Also: get a look at the origin story of Danica and Brandon through Devin's point of view! That part is fun. Outro music is “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which Devin has to moderate a domestic dispute. Welcome back to (WHY ARE WE DOING THIS) a full on, deep dive into Torchwood: Miracle Day, with your regular hosts, Danica and Brandon, and our irregular host, Devin R. Bruce. On this week's show: "Escape to L.A."! It's... interesting. At almost all times, at least one of us can't remember the names of the Americans on the show, which is fun. Also, there's a lot of yelling. TORCHWOOD. Outro music is “Drinking In L.A.” by Bran Van 3000 Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

In which FINALLY, all the weird sex and terrible relationships we've come to expect from Torchwood arrive! Welcome back to the sex house, babies! And the first and only episode we go out of our way to name check the man who put a seamless scene of butts together. Congrats, Michael N Knue - you did it! Anyway, Brandon, Danica and Devin are still trying to get through Miracle Day, and something terrible is coming. But in this episode, it's just folks who are coming. Do... do you get it? Oh, you get it. Outro music is “Let's Get It On” by Marvin Gay Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which the world still has flip phones because OF COURSE THEY DO. Danica, Brandon and Devin are back for more Torchwood for some reason. In THIS episode (entitled "Rendition") we attempt to remember Rex's basic-ass American name, with diminishing results. Also! Evil instructions are related through triangle, and Bill Pullman is not dead. Bill Paxton is. We checked. Like... the internet, not... not any bodies or anything. Oh god just stop typing. Outro music is "American Girl" by Elle King Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello ladies. Hello laddies. We're BACK. Welcome to a very special season of Doctor Whooch, in which we dig into the final season of Torchwood (Miracle Day!) with a very special guest... Devin R. Bruce! He's going to be here for all ten episodes and he's very uncomfortable about it which means he's perfect for the job. (He's great.) On this episode - we're talking about Episode One entitled "The New World". Inside: Danica kills English professors! Everyone has VERY LEGITIMATELY AMERICAN NAMES. There's a baby with a shotgun? Probably! It's Torchwood. And also, Rhys still isn't dead, and Brandon can not handle it. Friggen Rhys. Outro music is "I Sat By The Ocean" covered by Gaba Kulka Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we say good-bye... and good riddance.  Danica and Brandon are back to finally give their tipsy opinions on "Twice Upon A Time", the final Moffat era Doctor Who episode. And while it ALSO sadly marks the end of Peter Capaldi's time as the Doctor, they pull no punches. And sure, some might say we should have put this episode out before now, but here at Doctor Whooch, we like our takes like we like our drinks: on ice. So there. Outro music is: "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Riot of Color Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which a kid slides directly into his dad’s DMs and then catches the consumption. It's part two of our spectacular Companions Season finalé, in which we continue to talk about The Curse of the Black Spot with Doctor Who podcast luminaries Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky! In this episode, a Steven Moffat conspiracy theory is hatched, and we discuss how Doctor Who fans aren't detail oriented at all, and how crowns are pretty dope. Plus: drunk Chris Chibnall talk! Also, the appearance of some pod cats! No, we don't really edit, why do you ask? Outro music is "Pinball Wizard" as covered by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, which you should see the full video for. Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

  In which we offend the southern states and maybe also most of the British. It's part one of our HUGE finalé to our companion of Doctor Whooch - featuring Doctor Who podcast luminaries Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky! This one has it all. Or it would if we hadn't split it in two. So I guess this one has roughly half. BUT WHAT A HALF IT IS. We blame Saskatchewan for things, discover Steven's superpower, decide that Arthur Darvill is British AF and toss out spoilers for Earthshock. So if you're listening to this in 1982, uh... whoops. Outro music is "Oceans Brawl" by Coeur de pirate Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

In which we discover that Neil Gaiman likes his TARDIS' like he likes his women. We're continuing our season of companions with Marina Reid Hale (@mrimm) who gets us into a double dose of episodes this week - The Unicorn and the Wasp, and The Doctor's Wife. We learned a lot. Such as the fact that it's a bad idea to get impregnated by a giant wasp alien. And that wasp people are people too. And that concrete faces can not give consent. It was... a lot. So. Outro music is "I Am Not A Robot" by Marina and the Diamonds Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we come into watching "Blink" with good intentions, and leave it lying in a ditch somehow. Our Companions Season of the show continues with special guests Amber Chipman and Laury Plant, and we proceed to pull strings while we watch a modern classic. Marvel as Brandon can't remember any names. Again. Be totally surprised when Moffat keeps a woman sad and waiting. There's angels. There is dick pics, kinda. There are white girls named Sally. There's... a lot. Get ready to hate us real bad, but please, remember that we love you. Outro music is "All Star" covered by Tessa Violet & Dodie Clark Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

In which we kick off our first Companions Season of episodes by talking about one of our favourite episodes to discuss drunk. Welcome back to Doctor Whooch! For this batch of episodes, we're going to have a bunch of special guests, starting with our good friend Allen Gould! He arrives on the show to talk about a very sexy episode of Doctor Who where a couple of the characters bone down later. Spoilers! Also discussed? Hobbits, Culkins, Tim Riggins in Space, Once Upon A Time and Albus Hodge. And Doctor Who eventually, whatever. Specifically: how Donna really gets a raw deal in her season of the show.  

In which we are sober AF, so we sound awkward AF. On this very special episode, we're featuring the main conversation from this week's Gallifrey Public Radio episode that we guested on. Hosts Keir, Jay and Haley were wonderful people to talk about the casting of the newest Doctor with, something we didn't even know was happening when we first scheduled this crossover! Anyway, if you want to hear five awesome people gush about Jodie Whittaker for over an hour, WE HAVE YOUR BACK! Also, if you enjoy this episode, you need to check out Gallifrey Public Radio, and just go back there every week. Tell them we sent you. Oh, and also follow them on Twitter: @gallifreyradio. Oh and also also, you can listen to when Danica guested on Keir's other podcast here: In Defense Of - Between the Panels oh and also also also we love you thanks byeee

In which we say good-bye for now, and good riddance reaaaaalllll soon. On this week's season finale of Doctor Whooch, Danica and Brandon are talking about the season finale of Series 10 of Doctor Who, "The Doctor Falls". It's like Wonderfalls, but way more depressing. Because at least stuff happened in that. Do you remember Wonderfalls? Anyways. Listen to them talk about how elevators work, or how nothing was really accomplished by anyone. Also there were a lot of guns and two Masters and still, nothing. Oh, and the Doctor was a whiny baby, but like, what's different about that? Outro music is "Wedding Bell Blues" by The 5th Dimension. Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we have no regrets. But also, no egrets. :( Holy hell, is this season almost done? No? Oh FFS. Whelp whatever. On this episode, we're talking about "World Enough and Time" which was boring until very suddenly it wasn't. Marvel as Danica explains the show we've all been watching for over a decade! Swoon as Brandon yells about how Stephen Moffat is terrible at gender politics! Or actually, they both do that. A lot. That guy is NO GOOD. Outro music is "Monster Hospital" by Metric Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which the monster of the week is all the rave. Trust us, it will make sense later. This week, Danica and Brandon are proud to have Kat from Verity! on the show to discuss what happened on "The Eaters of the Light". There's a whole lot involving noodle rave monsters and Romans and the Scottish and sexuality and bullshit with Missy. It's a bit bonkers, but a lot of fun, honestly. Outro music is "All The Small Things" by Blink-182 Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Hold onto your butts, it's a wine episode! On this week's show, Danica and Brandon bear witness to "The Empress of Mars" and gave Mark Gatiss the benefit of the doubt because they were drunk. Spoiler alert: they shouldn't have. Hey. Do you think an episode featuring the colonial British might be pretty racist? Well, at least there's treasures for them to steal. Also, penis metaphors. Outro Music is "Underground" by The Sounds Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which there is not enough alcohol in the world to make this episode of Doctor Who good. On this week's show, Danica and Brandon struggle through "The Lie of the Land" and holy heck, are there far too many guns in this. Also: the monks are nothing but dumber versions of The Silence and so many things are garbage. And The Doctor is a dick on a boat, and off a boat. Whatever. MORE ALCOHOL PLEASE. Outro music is "Ship To Wreck" by Florence + The Machine Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we’re fist deep in time spaghetti. On this week’s show, Danica and Brandon are thrown into the deep end of Moffatisms as they try to swim through “The Pyramid At The End Of The World”. It doesn’t go well. They also get into Moffat really only using his own stuff unless an old bit of Who slots in, seemingly so he can take all the credit and be the best boy. Is that too harsh? Whatever. You love it. Outro music is "Love Is All Around" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY
