It's time for another plunge into nostalgia! Kyle welcomes Tai Gooden to talk about Animorphs, the ‘90s YA novel series about kids with the power to change into animals to defend the planet from an alien invasion. Additionally, they discuss all things Scholastic and reminisce about the days of book fairs and catalogues. Like a coupla olds.
Tai Gooden returns to talk with Kyle about the recently ended Doctor Who season one (aka series 14, aka the first Disney+ one). They go episode by episode to determine the best and worst episodes, whether Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson made a good impression, and just what the hell was that Sutekh thing all about?
This week, Kyle once again welcomes Tai Gooden to the show to geek out about something very near and dear to both of them: the bygone era of TV theme songs. With lyrics! They test each other, sing a few, and discuss why they were such a big part of childhood for ‘90s kids.
This week, Kyle cedes hosting duties to frequent guest Tai Gooden so she can interview creator of the comics Malice in Ovenland and Diary of a Mad, Black Werewolf, Micheline Hess. Together they talk about Micheline's early comics career working for Milestone Comics and what it's like being a Black woman working in the comic book industry.
Happy New Year, faithful listeners! Kyle is back after the holidays to talk to returning champion Tai Gooden about the recent Doctor Who specials, featuring David Tennant, Catherine Tate, and Ncuti Gatwa. They discuss righting the wrongs of 2008, Neil Patrick Harris' outrageous German accent, and whether you'd know you saw a TARDIS if you saw it.
This week, Kyle reflects on the year in genre television with Tai Gooden and Ro Rusak. The trio list some of their favorite series, including The Last of Us, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and One Piece, and take stock of some of the shows they totally forgot even came out.
What's your favorite scary movie? Well for returning champions Alison Mattingly and Tai Gooden, their answer may well be Scream, or one of its five sequels. Kyle and his guests talk about the franchise's lasting impact on horror cinema, the strengths and weaknesses of each entry, and have choice words about the most recent films. We'll be right back…
This week, Kyle and returning champ Tai Gooden discuss the prevalence of tropes in horror cinema, where they came from, what they add or subtract from the genre, and their very favorites. Kyle's will always be the mirror gag.
It's only taken 11 episodes but Kyle finally lets loose and discusses his favorite show, Doctor Who. And who better to talk about all things Time Lord, and where the franchise sits just before its 60th anniversary, than another Doctor Who superfan, Tai Gooden! How well did Jodie Whittaker's era wrap up, what do we think will happen with David Tennant's return, and who could possibly look better in any costume than Ncuti Gatwa?!

On the sixty-ninth edition of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk speaks to The Guardian's Martin Belam and Bustle's film editor Sage Young about Chris Chibnall's avoidance of publicity and whether or not Doctor Who needs hype (and if so how much) to survive in the modern media landscape. Joy Piedmont brings together Tai Gooden and Kat Climpson to talk about what other monsters from the Russell T Davies era (and more) could come back following the Judoon. And Pauline Serizel of the French YouTube channel Pepperpot Team discusses getting meta, fandom as heroes and a monster (literally) designed by an 10-year-old as Love & Monsters comes to the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus: we find inspiration in a t-shirt.
Writer/podcaster Tai Gooden stops by to discuss her writing, her roots in fandom, and her pick of the month, The Addams Family!
OK. Where do we begin with this long-awaited episode of The Walking Dead? Our friend Tai Gooden helps us break this down. What started as excitement to see our main woman, Michonne (Danai Gurira), step into the spotlight turned to horror over what we were watching. The kids? Eff them kids. Yes, they deserved to die and we hope they burn in hell! No, we were more than a little disgusted to see Michonne brutalized again. Tussling with the Governor's men? Check. Savage fight with the actual Governor? Check. Beat up by a MMA fighter disguised as a trash lady? Check. Knocked out by a demon child while pregnant? Check. Branded while pregnant? Check. Beaten with a wooden board while pregnant? Check. Had to kill a bunch of Children of the Corn to rescue her daughter who was abducted by a close friend from before the world ended? Check. Had her heavily pregnant belly slashed by a 6-year-old? Check. While he was at it, why didn't he just cut RJ out for good measure? And we're still confused about the actual point of this. Was this supposed to explain why Maggie and Tara have an attitude with Michonne? Or why Michonne don't want no new friends? We get it. Sometimes, in the zombie apocalypse, you meet people and they try to eat you. No wait-- you meet people and they try to take half of your stuff and make you slaves. No, that's not it. Here we go: you meet people and they kill you and carve a "W" in your head. See where we're going? This ain't new. Not sure why we needed to see Michonne kill some kids? By the way, thanks for all the help, Daryl. And Judith, go to your room! On the plus side, Danai was phenomenal. As if there was any doubt. We saw RJ and he's the perfect kid. And Jocelyn, if nothing else, gave us the perfect tagline for these Richonne movies: Go Find Your Man. Be sure to check out Tai's work at Hypable, SyFyWire and Bustle!

This week, I'm joined by Tai Gooden (http://www.themomentpod.com/guests/tai-gooden), as we discuss Martha's departure from the TARDIS in 2007's Last of the Time Lords.

On the forty-fifth edition of Reality Bomb, we’re kicking off our review of the latest season of Doctor Who thus far (all two episodes of it!) with our Series Ten review team, Lori Steuart and Lindsey Mayers. Also, Joy Piedmont talks with Tai Gooden about what might happen were the next Doctor be a person of colour. And we have a fairy tale of a lost child in a magical forest in London when Heather Berberet of Doctor Who: On The Couch brings Smile writer Frank Cottrell Boyce’s The Forest of the Night to the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus: they’re back and it’s about not spoiling anything! It’s the return of Spoiler Cops!
Welcome to a special episode of Straight Outta Gallifrey. We have a special guest, Tai Gooden, freelance writer, blogger, and Doctor Who enthusiast. She has graced SOG with her presence and perspective to discuss Pearl Mackie, who is playing Bill, the new companion for Doctor Who! As two Whovians who happen to be Black...oh forget it. As two Black Whovians we wanted to discuss this new companion, Barber Shop style, commenting on what this means as far as "people of color" being able to identify and cosplay. Yes, the news was announced a couple of weeks ago, but that doesn't mean the excitement isn't still in the air. No new Doctor Who till Christmas. Listen to this to help the wait.
