Podcasts about Mindwarp

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its fourth year. All the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "Let's Not Get Ahead of Ourselves." For this, Frank watched and reviewed one of the few Fangoria Films' productions, Mindwarp, a 1992 sci-fi thriller starring Bruce Campbell and Angus Scrimm.

This month, we're diving into the second Colin Baker season, collectively known as The Trial of a Time Lord, but also known to many fans as the individual stories, The Mysterious Planet, Mindwarp, Terror of the Vervoids, and The Ultimate Foe. Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the Season 23 chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics. Enjoy, dear listener. Contact us: X / Twitter: @theDWshow Bluesky: @thedwshow.net Facebook: facebook.com/theDWshow Email: hello@theDWshow.net

Another joyous commentary comes to an end with a hugely dramatic, murderous climax. Peri is dead, the Time Lords are accused, Crozier sips his tea. Where do we go from here?

Things are hotting up in the caves between Peri and Ycarnos and a rebellion is waiting to be forged. This was a story that each of us have struggled with at some point...so why are we having so much fun with it?

There are many horrific and shocking things about this story; mostly in this episode and how it treats the Doctor and Peri. But none of those are more terrifying than Frazer's opening…

Si used to hate it and now he really likes it, Joe yo-yos about with it but currently LOVES it, Frazer has always been on the fence...what treasure can they dig out of this controversial story...

Is Peri dead? Is she unhappy in a forced marriage? Is she unhappy as the manager of a pro wrestler named Yrcanos? And what exactly does “Vroomnik” mean, anyway?

Le Valeyard a une nouvelle preuve à montrer lors du procès du Docteur: la toute dernière aventure qu'il a vécu juste avant d'être extrait du temps. Peri et lui s'était retrouvé sur Thoros Beta, la planète de Sil, et découvrent des expériences terrifiantes de transplantation de cerveaux qui ont pour but d'augmenter le temps de vie du chef de Sil, Kiv. Alors que le Docteur est manipulé, Peri s'allie avec le roi barbare Yrcanos et les esclaves de la planète pour se libérer du joug des Mentors...

Joe, Luke & Dyan; ‘you…killed Peri…' This is the big one. It's either a complete betrayal of Doctor Who or the most exciting, horrific and edgy bit of storytelling the show has ever delivered. Or both. Let's talk about Peri's death.

Joe, Luke & Dylan; ‘lalalalalalalalala…' (Mentor laugh) - It's time to get very serious as the darkness weaves around Peri, the rebels are murdered and the Doctor is irredeemably condemned…

Joe, Dylan & Luke; off to the Sea of Sorrows… Is the Doctor mad? Influenced? A turncoat? What could possibly prompt this violent insanity?

Joe, Luke & Dylan; ‘would you prepare to apply the skidaddle test?' Huge love for season 23, the Trial and this story as the boys pull apart the many rights and the dramatic wrongs of this story.

the doctors trial continues and the Valeyard presents his next round of evidence this time it centres on the planet thoros beta the home world of old enemy sil where a scientist is conducting unethical experiments to prolong the life of Kiv, Sils boss can the doctor stop the mad scientist from acting out his crazy experiments or will it cost him a devastating price this is trial of the timelord part 5-8 mindwarp welcome to regenerated why not take a look at our social media and give us a review on Apple Podcasts merchandise -https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/regenerated facebook - www.facebook.com/regenerateddoctorwhopodcast/ twitter - twitter.com/Regenerated1963

An all new Appreciation Month is upon us here at Cinema Degeneration and this time we are heading out into the Dystopian fueled nightmares of the Apocalypse with 'Wasteland Appreciation Month.' It's a month long celebration of all things Post-Apocalyptic so you can expect marauders, scavengers, mutants and mayhem, cool car chases, fights over water and fuel, and battles of epic proportions. Our 2nd episode is on a very obscure science fiction yarn with 1991's"MINDWARP" from director Steve Barnett. Starring genre heavyweights Bruce Campbell and Angus Scrimm and featuring impressive special effects by KNB Efx. It's an odd tale of the post-apocalyptic world of 2037 where our main character Judy rebels against an AI ruled utopia and is exiled to the wasteland for her efforts and is forced to battle with drifters, mutated cannibals and an evil overlord named The Seer. Do you dare to travel into a world where Ash from the Evil Dead and The Tall Man from Phantasm face off in a swordfight??? If that doesn't sound intriguing to you, then you've got to check your pulse because you may already be dead. Our deep dive discussion on this Fangoria produced film from the 90's is headed off by the Three Stooges of Cinema Degeneration... Eric Phillips (Sequel Too, Deja Vu), Korey Dawson (Without Warning) and Cameron Scott. You can expect digressions and rants on everything from the Evil Dead franchise, the late great and incomparable Danny Hicks, and the Lawnmower Man franchise to name but a few. Buckle in because it's going to be a wild ride!   "Stupidity, chaos, cruelty, pain. Reality, a failure worse than any nightmare. There was no fixing it."

This week I welcome Roach Koach host Matt Naas to the podcast as we dig into Circle of Dust's 1994 album Brainchild, or where I come from 1992's debut album Mindwarp by Brainchild. Matt and I talk about Industrial music in the early 90's and how Matt feels Brainchild stacks up to hits contemporaries at the time.

A landmark moment for the Sadmen as listener Tony, from Australia, picks three albums for the boys to cast their ears over - and what an eclectic three they turned out to be. First up, novelty sensation Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction with their debut, Tattooed Beat Messiah. With their 'out there' look, hilarious alter ego names and chart-bothering single Prime Mover, was this of British oddity just a very clever joke - or is there more to it than that? Following hot on the heels of Zodiac comes the pod's second encounter with The Cult who in 1989 executed a smart right turn away from their Gothy native American roots and headed off down the metal highway with Sonic Temple. And the show closes out, fittingly, with an old-fashioned, heads down rock and roll band. Proving there's more to Oz than the Young brothers (or is there?), we say hello for the first time to The Angels and their breakthrough album Beyond Salvation. It's no spoiler alert to say the boys enjoyed Tony's selections very much - so cheers mate!  If you've got 3 albums you'd like the lads to review, just find us on Facebook, on Twitter or at www.entersadmen.co.uk and let us know!

Sometimes I like taking the whole Open Metalcast headquarters music library and put it on shuffle mode. This morning I decided to record an episode completely made up of these tracks. The only rule was that it couldn't be something that I already played on the show (funnily enough one track didn't make the cut because of that reason). This episode features tracks from Lords of the Trident, Thicket, Raging Steel, Mindwarp, Vanagloria, Gangrel, Colossal Figures, Digger, Mental Waste, tao te kin, and Dr. Zilog. I'm a little worried that the forces of chaos are going to put me out of a job making these playlists. Perhaps the computers really are taking over.

The Trial Continues! Yes, this time John and Taylor dive deeper into the rabbit hole that is the Trial of a Timelord with the episode "Mindwarp." Is the disdain for this season really justified?

Plot On Varos, a planet in the constellation of Cetes, the public torture of the rebel Jondar is taking place and being broadcast throughout the planet. Varosians Arak and Etta watch the proceedings from their room. Arak complains that they never show anything new to watch. In addition to the lack of new programming, the two must also deal with food rationing. And that night will be a punch-in vote ordered by the Governor, and voting is mandatory. Meanwhile, the Doctor is repairing the console. Peri complains that the Doctor has caused three electrical fires, a power failure, nearly collided with a storm of asteroids, got lost in the corridors twice, wiped the memory banks of the flight computer, jettisoned three quarters of the storage hold, and burned her "cold dinner", all since the time-travellers left Telos (). Minutes later, the unexpectedly stops, stalled in the middle of deep space. And the Doctor can do nothing to fix it. , the representative of the Galatron Mining Corporation, is negotiating with the Governor over the price of Varos' Zeiton-7 ore. Their discussion, like many others, ends in stalemate. For many years, the Galatron Mining Corporation has swindled Varos by paying far less for the ore than its market value. And to make matters worse, the Chief Officer is in league with Sil. The Governor moves on to conduct the night's vote. He addresses the people asking for their vote on if they should hold out longer for a fair price on the ore. The Governor loses and is forced to endure Human Cell Disintegration Bombardment. The process slowly kills the target and this is the third time his recommendations have failed to pass. The guard Bax recommends that the Governor execute Jondar to please the citizens so he can recuperate before the next vote. Peri locates the manual and presents it to the Doctor who quickly dismisses it. He knows perfectly well what has caused their dilemma. The transitional elements within the TARDIS have stopped producing orbital energy and they need Zeiton-7 ore to realign the power systems. And as the Doctor explains, Zeiton-7 is exceptionally rare and only comes from one planet: Varos. The Doctor manages to repair the enough to travel to Varos and arrives right before the execution of Jondar is to take place. The guard on station to watch over the execution believes the is merely a hallucination caused by the Punishment Dome. The Doctor and Peri exit the and think they are hallucinations as well. And with some help from the chained Jondar, the guard is incapacitated. The two free Jondar and make their escape, after being cut off from the by more guards. They are then rescued by Rondel, who has defected after speaking with Areta, and decided to help them. But he is killed shortly thereafter by pursuing guards. The Doctor, Peri, Jondar, and Areta continue on through the Punishment Dome, attempting to make their way back to the . But during a run-in with another group of guards, the Doctor is separated from the others who are arrested. He enters a corridor that appears psychologically as a desert. And with all of Varos watching, the Doctor succumbs to the heat and collapses with his end as a close-up. During the ordeal, Peri has been brought to the control center in the company of the Governor, Sil and the other officers. They question her as she watches them bring the Doctor's body to an acid bath for disposal. It is also revealed that he is not dead, but his mind was influenced to make him believe he was dying of thirst in a desert. The Doctor suddenly stands up and walks over to the two attendants while their backs were turned. The surprise causes the first attendant to jump, pushing the second into the bath. A struggle ensues and the attendant is then pulled into the acid bath by the second who reaches up and grabs him. The Doctor strolls out with a morbid quip. After making his way from the acid baths, the Doctor is cornered by Quillam, Varos' chief scientist, and is taken away. Back in the control centre, it is decided that the Doctor and Jondar will be executed in a good "old-fashioned" way while Peri and Areta are to be reshaped with a cell mutator. The Doctor and Jondar are placed in the nooses while the Governor and Sil watch. At the last moment the Doctor questions the Governor about Sil and his extortion. Sil's bodyguards rush the platform where the nooses are and pull the lever. But the two simply fall through the holes, the rope coming right off the support. As it turns out, there was to be no execution — it was all a way to get information out of the Doctor. The Doctor suspected this as he noticed that they were not being filmed. The group then attempts to stop the cell mutator on Peri and Areta, but they are told it's at too advanced a stage to stop. The Doctor and Jondar grab the weapons of nearby guards in an attempt to intimidate Quillam to deactivate the mutator. But it fails, and the Doctor resorts to shooting the entire control panel. The process has been stopped in the nick of time and Peri and Areta return to their original form. The four then escape back into the depths of the Punishment Dome towards a possible escape route. But Peri, still in a stupor after the effects of the mutator, is recaptured and taken to the control centre. The Chief and Sil make their final move on the Governor in hopes that during the next vote he will be killed by the Human Cell Disintegration Bombardment, securing the way for them to control Varos and the Zeiton-7 ore. Meanwhile, the Doctor, Jondar, and Areta make their way into the End Zone of the Dome, where the exit is supposed to be. The vote starts and the bombardment begins, but the guard Meldak has a change of heart and stops the device, saving the Governor and Peri. The three then make their way to meet up with the Doctor through the ventilation ducts. The Doctor's group is then chased by two cannibals and loses them in some poisonous tendrils. The Chief and Quillam arrive on the scene but are entangled in the tendrils, killing them. They then meet up with Peri, the Governor, and Meldak. They all make their way back to the control centre and put an end to Sil's plans of controlling Varos. The Galatron Mining Corporation also began to side with Varos; a second source of Zeiton-7 ore has been found, and Sil is ordered to obtain the Varosian ore at any price. The Doctor and Peri then bid the Governor farewell, taking the replacement ore with them. The Governor issues a message to the citizens saying that there will be no more injustice, torture, and executions. Arak and Etta watch in disbelief, wondering what they'll do with their new-found freedom. Continuity This section does not any . (June 2012) This story begins very soon after . Peri lists a number of problems the Doctor has caused since they left Telos. Sil was originally to have returned in a Philip Martin serial for the 23rd season entitled , but when the season was postponed and all planned stories scrapped, Sil's return instead occurred in Mindwarp. Martin later novelised Mission to Magnus, which was published in 1990. In 2009, Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant and Nabil Shaban returned for an audio adaptation of . The scenes including the Varosians Arak and Etta are completely detached from the story and the two are never encountered by the main characters. A long-standing myth holds that the Doctor pushes one or two guards into an acid bath. During the serial's original broadcast, the series drew criticism for being too violent. However, the Doctor does not actually push the guards into the acid. One falls in by accident and then pulls the other in.

The story was first written for the 1982 season, but was repeatedly pushed back and re-written. In its final draft, the story had a number of comedic sequences, most of which wound up being cut, and one of which, the acid bath sequence, was played seriously. The result was that the final story was much darker than originally intended. The more grim acid bath sequence was much criticised for its tone and for the Doctor's flippant remark at the end of the scene. During the first recording of the noose execution scene, part of the set collapsed under the weight of the actors. Fortunately, this did not happen when Baker and Connery actually had their necks in the nooses (although in that case, for safety reasons the nooses were not actually tied up).
