    Episode 209d: Trial Run, Pt. 4 - A Glitz in the Matrix

    The Ultimate Foe casts Flick and Wrenna through a funhouse mirror of reality to question the nature of the Doctor... But what's new? It's time to pass judgment on the Trial of a Time Lord. Released under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)

    BONUS: The Once and Future King, with Jonn Elledge

    N.B. This episode has been released 'as live' with minimal editting. We reconvene with Jonn in the wake of the RTD bombshell to re-examine our prior assumptions, evaluate our feelings on the news, and once more make some ill-advised speculation about the future.

    BONUS: Cancellation Culture, with Jonn Elledge

    N.B. This episode has been released 'as live' with minimal editting. Recorded less than 24 hours before the announcement of Russell T Davies' return to Doctor Who, Flick and Wrenna are joined by writer and journalist Jonn Elledge to discuss the show's past and future, the throughline of 1985 and 2021. We revisit notions of fandom from a third perspective, look back on the classic era, the revived era that has been, and the revived era to come. And then we get thoroughly pre-empted by the BBC press office.

    Episode 209c: Trial Run, Pt. 3 - The Seeds of Things to Come

    Flick and Wrenna consider the ultimate defense of Doctor Who, a future yet to come. Layers of reflection, modernity and prediction win the jury, whilst knotty questions of time and reality razzle-dazzle the prosecution. Meanwhile, some humorously shaped vegetables are charged with obscenity. Released under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)

    Episode 2.09b: Trial Run, Pt. 2 - Blessed Relief (REUPLOAD)

    REUPLOAD: We caught a mixing issue with the gain on this one. It should now be fixed. Flick and Wrenna have caught up with the present in the Trial of Trial of a Time Lord. Violence and nastiness is the charge, but is it justified? And just how wise is it to address the topic by recreating it? Is it satire or simply a regression to the foibles of the previous season? Does Sil have to be quite so unpleasant? Meanwhile, Brian Blessed gives us something to shout about. Released under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)

    Episode 2.09a: Trial Run, Pt. 1 - JNT vs. The World

    In 1985, Michael Grade attempted to cancel Doctor Who. He failed. A year later, the show returned with a response in the form of an entire season of Doctor Who. One of the most controversial and storied periods in the show's history, it can't be fully understood by looking at any individual episode. So in the first of a four part monthlong marathan, Flick and Wrenna put Trial of a Time Lord, in its entirety, back on trial. But first, they have to revisit the original trial: The Hiatus of 1985.

  8. 08/01/2021

    Episode 2.08: Extinction Event

    Flick and Wrenna discuss spectacle and events, Doctor-Companion relationships, the good and bad of the Cybermen, and the producership of JNT, before Flick upsets all of fandom with her bad opinions on Earthshock.
