Night Of The Living Geeks

Well, we're not quite in the pits over THE CREATURE FROM THE PIT. There were a few things we enjoyed about this 4th Doctor story, but overall the adventure fell a little flat with us, especially being the story that comes on the heels of the amazing City of Death. But, as always, we persevere and find the good within the not so good and let those bits shine for everyone. Join us as we open trade negotiations with THE CREATURE FROM THE PIT!

Last year, Taylor had planned to create a grand interview retrospective podcast about his favorite surf film "O'Zone". The reality of pulling together all the people involved proved to be quite the challenge. However, he did record an interview with Director Tony Roberts in May of 2019. This month, to celebrate the film's 30th anniversary, we're releasing that interview with Tony Roberts for all to enjoy. Check out the show notes for links to Tony's work and social media.

We finally hit our goal of being UNDER one hour! We recorded this back in July, who would possibly have thought August would be worse and we would have even MORE need for some positivity?

We're back in bonkers territory this week with possibly the most 70s episode we've ever reviewed! THE CLAWS OF AXOS starts as a typical aliens-land-on-earth-to-recharge-their-batteries story and quickly evolves into an attempt by The Master to get his TARDIS back by serving up the planet to a race of golden-haired shapeshifters bent on consuming the Earth. Some of the most LSD-inspired psychedelic craziness is infused throughout and we find our proto-Duggan in the form of dangerous American Bill Filer! It's a wild ride from start to finish, so join us for The Claws of Axos!!

THE WAR GAMES comes to an end! This week we reviewed the final four episodes of The War Games and the action ramps back up (and gets pretty crazy toward the end) as the War Lord arrives to find infighting between the Security Chief and the War Chief. The Doctor, his crew, and the resistance add to the mix! But, when all is said and done, The Doctor's only choice is to call in the Time Lords and Whovian lore will never be the same!

Grab the snack and/or snacc of your choice and watch Palm Springs with us, a delightful movie on Hulu. Before that, however, we really take the human body to task over how badly it's designed and how it can be improved.

The War Games marches onward! This week we review Episodes 4 through 6 of this epic final Patrick Troughton story! Does the pace of the first three episodes continue? Well, give a listen to get our thoughts. But we also have some amazing new from Big Finish to share that we're almost more excited about than The War Games. Join us for a romp through Central Command...be sure to grab your Devo-esque visors, too!

Friends, listeners, we have reason to celebrate! Podcastica has reached episode 200!! And what better way to honor this blockbuster number than by reviewing an absolute blockbuster of a story! We're spending this episode and the next two reviewing THE WAR GAMES! The final Patrick Troughton story is a sprawling, ambitious story with great pacing and scope. And it does a great service in pushing the Doctor's mythology forward into the next regeneration. Join us as we dive into a fox hole and start discussing THE WAR GAMES!!

This week on TTR, our hosts watched their second episode of IMPACT Wrestling IN A ROW. While they enjoyed the opening and closing matches, they have a whole lot to say about the middle of this show. Especially about Tommy Dreamer and his magical powers. They also talk in great length about AEW Dynamite and the surprise debuts on that show. Plus WARHORSE and Taz losing his mind on commentary multiple times.

The IKWYPLS crew watches one of the classics of modern horror this month - 1998's Ringu! This film not only started the boom of J-Horror across the world, but brought us creepy, long-haired girls for years to come. We dive into what we liked, what we didn't like, quick acceptance of paranormal activity, and much more! And so you've got seven days to listen to this latest episode of I Know What You Podcasted Last Summer or, well, you know what'll happen...

The Truth Is Still Out There! In this age of conspiracy theories run rampant, Tic-Tac UFOs, and deep state wackiness, Taylor & Seb look back to a seemingly simpler time when The X Files bred a new generation to trust no one and question everything! They also discuss a great local group they hung out with to watch the show: The Bay Area X Files Encounter Group as well as discuss the impacts of the early internet age on the fandom surrounding The X Files! Grab a pack of Morleys and join us this month on If Memory Serves!

We're joined by our friend and fellow NOTLG host Kenneth to try out the taste of Summer--such as it is, given this is a year without seasons.

We are on the cusp of Episode 200! But first, we finish reviewing the debut of THE DALEKS! In episodes 5-7, The Daleks have the Fluid Link and the Doctor and crew must convince the Thals to fight back, jump across caverns, and deal with the Daleks counting down very slowly in order to save themselves and prevent Skaro from becoming a completely uninhabitable wasteland. Can the bipeds sabotage enough static electricity and throw enough rocks to save the day? Only time...lots of time spent traversing scenery...will tell! Yes, we definitely take a deep look at the scene that set the standard for discussions of poor pacing. Join us!!

Big week here at TTR, as IMPACT WRESTLING has rejoined the rotation! Our hosts give their thoughts on watching Impact for the first time in a long time. AEW Dynamite this week had EDDIE KINGSTON on it, so the back half of the show is basically all about him. As it should be.

This month, the IKWYPLS crew dives into the psychological horror of A Tale Of Two Sisters! We discuss what worked for us, what didn't, all the twists and turns - and yes, we also talk about the not-so-good American remake of this Korean horror classic. So, gather the family around for another episode of I Know What You Podcasted Last Summer... Music used in this podcast: 'An Abandoned Ballroom' by Lyndon Scarfe.

John and Marianne are back! They talk about AEW Dynamite, RuPaul's Drag Race, other non-related wrestling nonsense, and the possibility of bringing IMPACT Wrestling into the rotation!

We have questions and we have answers and we have an awful lot of hemming and hawing as we try to answer them as non-embarrassingly as possible! That's right, it's an entire episode of just questions! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

The Doctor, Susan, Ian, and Barbara (fresh off their very first adventure together) land on a mysteriously deserted world, but the temptation of exploring a nearby deserted city leads the Doctor to sabotage his own ship and put his friends in jeopardy! As a result, they discover one of the most legendary villains in Doctor Who history! That’s right, Dalekmania begins here! Strap in because the Daleks are a bit more chatty than exterminate-y in the first four episodes of THE DALEKS!

The race to 200 begins with THE UNQUIET DEAD! With mere weeks to go until we hit our 200th episode, we review the 9th Doctor story that John would often tell friends "Yeah, you don't have to see this one." Well, he's happy to admit he was wrong. The Doctor and Rose land in Naples...wait, no, sorry...Cardiff...in 1860! Wait...no, sorry...1869! On Christmas eve! At least that part is still correct. Just in time to catch Charles Dickens giving a live performance. Well, that wasn’t their goal, but nonetheless...they do show up in time a decent recreation of some scenes from Ghostbusters because a race of rather gaseous beings (no, not the Slitheen, they’re next week) are catfishing the humans into letting them rock up and take over! Be sure to share us with friends, give us a follow on the socials, and wear ya damn masks!

On the fourth episode of Soundtracks on the Sticks, hosts Chris Damasceno & Jordan Young go back into a classic out of the PS2/PS Vita era that was recently released on Steam in Persona 4 Golden, going in between breaking down the composition work of Shoji Meguro to talking about how the soundtrack of this game altogether is one of the main reasons why it caused the Persona series to blow up on a global scale.
