Night Of The Living Geeks

Hot off the heels of his adventure with his prior two selves, The Doctor (along with Jo) land on the SS Bernice (not Metebelis 3, I promise you) in 1926. Well, sort of. The answer turns out to be far more bizarre as we meet Harry Sullivan’s doppelganger, some Drashigs, journey to the center of the miniscope, and get taken for a ride on the Carnival of Monsters! Join John and Taylor as they review the second story of Season 10!

This week on TTR, our hosts talk about AEW Dynamite! They talk about the insane bump Sammy Guevara took, the somehow equally crazy moonsault Kenny Omega did, and if the shine is coming off of Moxley post-WWE. Then, the TOOT OR BOOT a whole bunch of wrestling gear and take questions from their listeners!

The journey up until this point on The Pingcroft Pod has been about baseball movies Lauren has never seen before. However, this week our hosts took a detour. The Sandlot is a movie both hosts have seen, but decided to revisit because it is indeed a classic. Does this movie hold up, and is it as memorable has John and Lauren remember? Plus, some stats and facts from both movies and baseball for 1993!

In this inaugural episode we accidentally name our show, discuss the joys of waiting, and one of us designs the perfect sandwich, while the other designs... Well. It's a sandwich, anyway.

This week we're joined by Justin Quizon to watch THE ENEMY OF THE WORLD! And we were all blown away by the scope and execution of this amazing adventure! The Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria land in Australia, 2018 where Ramon Salamander is slowly but surely taking control of the world. It just so happens that The Doctor looks exactly like Salamander and what follows is a globe-spanning adventure of intrigue, double crossing, and multiple layers of awesomeness. Did we mention this was all done in 1967?

After another unscheduled week off, TTR is back in action! This week, they discuss AEW DYNAMITE. What did they think of the Darby/CODY finish? Can, at this point, Britt Baker do any wrong? How excited was Marianne about Chuck Taylor getting a pin fall victory? Plus, they venture back to CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS XX to discuss the main event of that card: Sting, Nikita Koloff, & The Steiner Brothers vs. Vader, Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, & The Super Invader! All this, plus questions from our listeners!

It's May and while most everyone is doing remote learning with the current pandemic, Taylor & Seb take a look back at their memories of actually being at school. From Kindergarten through to Senior year, they recount some of their best memories (and sometimes rather embarrassing ones) of going to school in San Jose in the 80s and 90s!

The third episode of Season 1 of the Pingcroft Pod, our hosts take a trip to Cleveland to root on the underdogs in Major League! Did our hosts enjoy it as much as the previous two movies they watched? What did Lauren know about this movie before she watched it for the first time, and what did she learn about the sport of baseball during the movie? Also, hear John's pitch for rebranding The Cleveland team!

Well, they can't all be zingers. And Vengeance on Varos is no zinger. As a dark, bleak, dystopian adventure, this story falls a little flat and relies on a bit of handwavium at times. There are still, however, some prescient takes on culture, decent effects, and Sil. He really steals the show! This week, we close out the 6th Doctor's televised adventures with Vengeance on Varos!

The IKWYPLS crew is coming to you from the quarantine realm with some hot takes about a cult classic of the horror genre - 1981's The Evil Dead! Likes, dislikes, Xena connections and the worst Airbnb ever... It's Deadite time on this episode of I Know What You Podcasted Last Summer!

For the second episode of the Pingcroft Pod, our hosts take a look at one of John's favorite movies of ALL TIME: Moneyball. Follow Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) as he tries to make something out of nothing with the Oakland A's. Tired of losing to the bigger pockets of the New York Yankees, Beane turns the baseball world on it's head with the help of Peter Brand (Jonah Hill). This movie takes a fantastic look at the behind the scenes running of a major league baseball team. Our hosts also go over the year end awards for MLB, and some movies facts from 2011. There was also so much crying. Many, many tears.

This time around on WDYWTTA, John is joined by his longtime friend and co-host of PODcastica: Taylor Nelson! They switch gears from talking about Doctor Who, to talking about something else near and dear to their hearts: The paranormal. They cover Synchronicities, Hellier, and how Taylor believes that everything is connected.

Call it serendipity or synchronicity, but on the anniversary of the passing of Liz Sladen, we just happened to choose to review THE TIME WARRIOR which saw (among many things) the introduction of Sarah Jane Smith! We dive into this story and really enjoyed the rollicking adventure that it provides! Grab your tights and a flagon of mead and let's talk about The Time Warrior!!

This week on Tornado Tag Radio, our hosts discuss the many layoffs that took place at WWE. Where could some of them go? Which one was the most surprising? They also talk about AEW Dynamite which featured Orange Cassidy displaying his "male wares". Along with a fun Chuck Taylor/Kip Sabian match!

WDYWTTA continues with Justin Quizon! Justin wanted to talk about one of his and John's favorite shows: Doctor Who! They talk about their introductions to the show, who their favorite Doctors are, and the Doctor Who convention: Gallifrey One!

Welcome to the very first episode of the Pingcroft Pod! Join life long baseball fan John and his filmmaking fiancé Lauren as they discuss some of the greatest baseball movies of all time that she somehow hasn’t seen. For their debut episode they tackle the 1992 classic: "A League of Their Own"! Was there no crying during this movie? Tune in to find out!

LIIIIGHT! Yes, this week we review the final 7th Doctor story (that we haven't reviewed yet) with Ghost Light! They certainly tried to pack a ton into a three-episode story. It comes off as a rather bonkers story that's mostly mystery for an episode and a half and then goes properly off the rails as an alien entity grapples with something every Doctor Who fan has to accept: change. And not a moment too soon, amirite? Join us as we stare at the sun with Ghost Light!

After an impromptu week off, TTR is back! This week, they're discussing everything that happened on last week's episode of AEW DYNAMITE! Then, they review a SINGLE MATCH from MLW's FUSION: MJF vs. MANCE WARNER in a Loser Leaves MLW match!

And, finally, the finale. In which I recap a draft that totally happened, but has unfortunately been lost and answer the final question that guest provided. Plus some well-wishes and a vague non-committal suggestion that maybe this isn't the end (but it probably is)!

Enjoy this supersized penultimate episode with your new friend Classigetssassi! We talk about basically pretty much everything and in our draft go unexpectedly deep as we talk about the things that we used to not like, but have since come to enjoy!
