Episode Title: "I Need My Pain" - The Caves of Androzani Review & The Fifth Doctor's Regeneration THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI (March 8-16, 1984) Writer: Robert Holmes (returning!) Director: Graeme Harper (debut - directing from studio floor, not control room) PRODUCTION NOTES: The Fake Title: JNT put "The Doctor's Wife" on the production board deliberately to catch office leaks (ironic foreshadowing of Matt Smith's episode!) Graeme Harper's Innovation: Highly innovative direction with unrestricted camera movement - energetic, personal style directing from the floor instead of control room. Peter Davison said if there had been more directors like Harper and writers like Holmes, he'd have stayed for a fourth season. The Strike: Recording interrupted, cutting two sequences including the Doctor explaining his blown glass bottle collection from different planets (why they're visiting Androzani Minor for sand) Nicola Bryant's Frostbite: Developed mild frostbite on first day filming because her lower legs were bare in actually cold conditions The Dream Casting That Never Was: Sharaz Jek was offered to Tim Curry, David Bowie, and Mick Jagger! Christopher Gable was Harper's first choice, Bowie his second. Only Bowie had a reason for declining (Serious Moonlight tour). STORY BREAKDOWN: The TARDIS lands on Androzani Minor where the Doctor and Peri investigate caves and step in raw Spectrox - the most valuable substance in the universe. They're caught between multiple factions fighting over Spectrox: business magnate Morgus, General Chellak's forces, gun-runner Stotz, and the mysterious masked Sharaz Jek controlling an android army. Both contract Spectrox toxemia - the only cure is bat's milk from the lower caves where a magma beast hunts. THE FACTIONS DEBATE: Jim struggles with the convoluted plot involving approximately four factions. John helps clarify: Morgus controls everything from Androzani Major, supplying guns to Jek through Stotz while also backing the military against Jek. Nobody to root for - they're all "nasty, nasty people." STANDOUT MOMENTS: Peri & The Doctor's Chemistry: Their banter is finally warm and funny! John notes Peri complains differently than Tegan - more innocent, not sharp-edged or world-weary. The Star Trek Connection: The military forces sport Star Trek colors (blue, red, gold) matching departments, and uniform design echoes later TNG/DS9 style! First "Droid" Usage: Doctor Who uses the term "droid" for the first time (George Lucas trademarked it, but the term originated with Mary Wolfe in 1952's "Robots of the World, Arise!") Direction Showing Off: The vid-screen conversations where Morgus walks behind the hologram and creative camera angles - "Someone's really showing off here, but in a good way" Morgus's Aside: John Normington misunderstood stage directions and spoke his inner thoughts directly to camera. Everyone loved it, so they kept it! Could've been the Deadpool of Doctor Who if used throughout. CHARACTER ANALYSIS: Sharaz Jek - A Cut Above: The most twisted, dark villain in Doctor Who history. Could give Davros a run for his money in maniacal madness. Shakespearean dialogue, obsessed with Peri's beauty in deeply cringy ways. The mask reveal? A letdown - "not worthy of the build-up at all." Morgus - Standard Bureaucrat Behaving Badly: Rat bastard who murders the President by pushing him down an empty lift shaft. His defeat is Jim's "moment of joy" - well-deserved! The Magma Beast: As awful as the Myrka from Warriors of the Deep, maybe worse. THE VIOLENCE: Brutal for Doctor Who - no comic book foundation anymore. The gun-runner scuffle was "nasty, nasty, nasty stuff." THE REGENERATION: Most Extensive Ever: The Doctor says "feels different this time" (David Tennant would echo this line in his bi-regeneration). All companion cameos newly filmed: Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) - the Doctor reacts most strongly Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) - had chicken pox! Janet Fielding (Tegan) - "Brave heart, Tegan" Mark Strickson (Turlough) Anthony Ainley (The Master) - "Die, Doctor!" The Psychology: John theorizes the hallucinations represent the Doctor's psyche - companions urging him to live vs. the Master (part of himself) wanting to die. Colin Baker's Entrance: Nervous during setup, but in command once cameras rolled. Dressed in Davison's outfit (as it should be!). Two takes - said "egotistical" in final cut, "egocentric" in first. End credits gave Colin Baker top billing immediately. JIM'S CONFLICTED FEELINGS: HOPE FOR THE FUTURE: Jim admits Colin Baker's brief scene gave him hope: "He's very different from Davison... the polar opposite. He immediately insults Peri and he's large and in charge. I can almost put up with a real jerk if there's just some real agency going on in the character." The Agency Theory: Jim yearns for the days of Enemy of the World when the Doctor had real agency, was right in the middle of everything. He identifies with Pertwee's sarcasm and hopes Baker will deliver. ROBERT HOLMES APPRECIATION: Both hosts wish Holmes had been brought in sooner to establish Davison's character. His dialogue elevates everything - Jek's "I have to live among androids because they do not see like we see." FINAL THOUGHTS: Jim: "I'm somewhat encouraged by that tiny little scene with Colin Baker. It gave me some hope... I can almost put up with a real jerk if there's just some real agency." John: "I think that's fair to say there will be agency." The marshmallow Doctor era ends. The loud, arrogant era begins. One more story to round out Season 21... NEXT TIME: The Twin Dilemma - Colin Baker's full premiere! Jim handles narration for the four-parter.

It's a jump to the left, a step to the right, and straight into absolute chaos as The Commentary Booth celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey revisit the cult musical that confused, delighted, scandalised, and rewired generations of audiences, and yes, Jamie is watching it for the first time.From dripping rain and flat tyres to corsets, aliens, and one very sweaty creation, this episode breaks down why Rocky Horror still refuses to fade quietly into pop culture history. Corrina brings the deep love, historical context, and shadow cast energy, while Jamie reacts in real time to a film that feels like Frankenstein on an acid trip, in heels.They unpack Tim Curry's career-defining performance as Dr Frank-N-Furter, the cultural impact of midnight screenings and audience participation, the sheer weirdness of the narrative framing, and why this film made its money slowly, loudly, and unapologetically. There's debate, disbelief, genuine affection, and the kind of off-the-rails banter that feels fitting for a movie that never plays by the rules.Highlights Breakdown: - Jamie watches The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time - Why Tim Curry's Dr Frank-N-Furter became an instant icon - The history of midnight screenings and shadow casts - How the film slowly built its cult following and box office legacy - Does The Rocky Horror still resonate with modern audiences, or is it frozen in time Whether Rocky Horror is your annual ritual or something you've only ever known through The Time Warp, this episode captures exactly why, 50 years on, it still hits people sideways.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Jim Sharman's The Rocky Horror Picture Show Cinema is art, Viewing Cinema is an artistic experience. We sit in the theater and drift into the beauty of a story that either entertains, explains, or enlightens. Sometimes all of these and even more. In 1975 20th Century Fox would distribute a film that would fail miserably with mainstream audiences, but would survive box office death and be reborn on the Midnight Movie Circuit. The Rocky Horror Picture Show has played non-stop since it began midnight screenings in 1976. With a rabid fanbase that acts out scenes, musical numbers, and improvised attacks on the action, the film has become a cinematic cultural experience . . . But, what is it, and is it actually a good movie? This week Mr. Chavez & I return to our shared experience with a NuArt screening, his return to the theatre, and my home viewing, alone in a dark room without any of the supporting distractions. This week we discuss  Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and - a legendary - Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Take a listen as we dive into a month of Cult Films & Midnight Movies. It's going to be a good time.

Filled with corsets, Frankenstein monsters with bowl cuts, and songs that we don't understand the lyrics to. Hey - we said it was gonna be a strange journey! Our main stars are Brad and Janet, two PRUDES (I GUESS) who find themselves lost at Dr. Frank-N-Furter's castle; a place filled with music, boning, and apparently aliens. When the two unwillingly spend the night there they encounter a loss of clothes but a gain of STDs! So there's that! This movie asks the deep questions, such as: If you make a Frankenstein monster, is it the age of it's brain or the age of a newborn? Did this movie help or harm the general public's perception of transvestites? Why was Meat Loaf there and what the hell was he singing about!? All this and more in this movie that you'll wish you took an edible or a nap during. Released in 1975, starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, Peter Hinwood, and Meat Loaf.

DEFENDANT: Pennywise the Dancing Clown EVIDENCE: Manos Special Edition "IT" Cabernet Sauvignon SCENE OF THE CRIME: Derry, Maine -- Hey friend — pull up a chair (but maybe keep an eye on the storm drain). In this episode we crack open some Manos vino and dive headfirst into Stephen King's It: the book, the 1990 miniseries, and the 2017/2019 films. We chat about why the various adaptations land so differently, what makes Pennywise terrifying (Tim Curry vs. Bill Skarsgård), and how the story's big ideas — childhood trauma, memory, and fear — get handled across formats. We also get candid about the parts that don't sit right: problematic elements in the book, how King's worldview shows up in his writing, and why some of his choices (yep, we mean that one scene) feel unnecessary and disturbing. It's a frank, cozy, and sometimes messy convo — the kind you'd have with your snarkiest, warmest friends over a glass (or three). If you love horror history, behind-the-scenes casting tea, and judge-y takes on iconic scenes, this episode is for you. And if you're terrified of clowns or storm drains... we hear you.

We're wrapping up September with a quick and random episode of Breakfast All Day so we can get out to the theater and see our people in person! Tonight's the night for our meet-and-greet at CinemaWest Beach Cities in El Segundo. We'll be at the lobby bar before the 6pm showing of "One Battle After Another." Come say hi around 530, grab a drink and a Pink's hot dog, then check out Paul Thomas Anderson's new epic on their Giant screen. Details and tickets are available here: https://web.cinemawest.com/films/One-Battle-After-Another/HO00000209 As for new reviews, we begin with "Eleanor the Great," Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut. June Squibb stars as 94-year-old woman who moves back to New York after the loss of her best friend and tells a big lie that spirals out of control. This movie is a mess tonally, but Squibb is always a delight. In theaters. Next up is "Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror." This is a documentary about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," the ultimate cult movie, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary today. Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O'Brien and many more share their memories of this groundbreaking, enduring film, which is still playing in midnight showings decades later. In theaters. Finally, it's Movie News LIVE! Jimmy Kimmel's back, trailers for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and "The Bride," the "Weapons" spin-off movie about Aunt Gladys and much more. Join us here every Friday at Noon Pacific. We love seeing you! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
