Doctor HuhCyberman Is the Name of the DoctorWe're back with the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost episode of all time, series 12 episode 8, "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"! In multiple ways, this is an episode about spreading misinformation about the writing of Frankenstein. Who did it better, Maxine Alderton or Jordan? Please don't @ us. Forget about these writers though, the real star of the show this week is our imaginary version of Graham! What an absolute belter!

2024-01-1403 minDoctor HuhFreaked-Up White ManThis week, we're going back to school with series 8 episode 6, "The Caretaker"! The Twelfth Doctor is going deep undercover, which means he's wearing coveralls and holding a mop and telling everyone that he's an alien called the Doctor. Meanwhile, he and Clara's boyfriend Danny are fighting over her love! Sounds annoying, right? Wrong! We liked this episode! Also there was a robot in it at some point!
(We're going to be off for a couple weeks, but we will return with an episode that made Jordan scream when the title came up, so look forward to that!)
2023-06-051h 48Doctor HuhScoopus and GallantBad news for fans of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: this week's episode, series 3 episode 7, "42", has absolutely nothing to do with it! Instead, we've got a sweaty assembly of losers on a hot, hot spaceship hurtling into the sun. Fittingly, things get "heated" (ha ha) on the podcast as Jordan inexplicably refuses to hear Sam's very reasonable criticism of the episode. Unfortunately for Jordan, Sam is the one writing this description! Don't worry, most of that is edited out. Good thing we put aside our differences long enough to come up with Scoopus and Gallant!

2023-05-291h 35Doctor HuhNew Year's Dalekin' EveWe're stepping out of the Backpack Era - no matter what Jordan says - and into the Episode Directly Before Legend of the Sea Devils Era with the first 2022 special, "Eve of the Daleks"! It's a refreshing reminder that Chris Chibnall really can make a great Doctor Who episode. Maybe there's joy to be found in very very recent Doctor Who after all! Watch this episode a few times and you'll agree.
(Also, something went wrong with Jordan's recording and we had to use the worse-sounding backup! Sorry!)

It's an episode that was very much written in the era of Nikola Tesla fandom, and we all have some opinions about that, except for Sam who is just smiling and nodding. We all learned a lot this week, and some of it was even about Nikola Tesla. Hey, maybe you'll learn something too!

2023-02-131h 41Doctor HuhNice Dan the Nice ManThis week's episode sure was an episode! It's our first dose of series 13, "Flux", specifically episode 3, "Once, Upon Time"! Definitely not an episode intended to be watched out of order, but seemingly not an episode that benefits from being watched in order either. It may have been incomprehensible to us, but we'll do our best to make it vaguely comprehensible to you! This episode was truly engineered in a lab to make Jordan angry at every turn. If that sounds good to you, as it does to me, then you're going to have a great time! Time time time...
2023-01-301h 37Doctor HuhNot Episode 11: Anthem of Party RockHey, this isn't our first Twelfth Doctor episode! What the heck? Well, Sam decided to ring in the new year by getting COVID and we haven't been able to record that episode yet. Instead, please enjoy our already-recorded Patreon bonus episode on parts 1 and 2 of Classic Who season 15's first serial, "Horror of Fang Rock"! It's got the Fourth Doctor running up and down a lighthouse for 40 minutes. A lot of people love it! One of us liked it! Hopefully next time we'll love it.

I don't know when it is) because this week we're talking about Doctor Who 2022 special #2, "Legend of the Sea Devils"! This is a very recent episode, featuring Jodie Whittakré, as Jordan has decided to call her for some reason. Will the Thirteenth Doctor prove herself an old salt and join our crew of hearties? Or will she be a scurvy dog, scupper our jibs and leave us keelhauling our peg legs? Good thing we had so much time on our last podcast to practice our pirate voices!

2022-03-271h 08Kyle X Why?Said the Older Woman to the TeenExciting news for fans of Sam and Jordan screaming at each other! In this week's episode, we read chapter 23, "Through Your Eyes", and found an excuse to scream at each other instead of screaming at the author. Make no mistake, though: the content still deserves it! In the end, no matter how much we fight about Master Chief's voice, we will always be united against Kessi. That's what family is all about, and it's something the Tragers will never understand, which is why they should all be in prison. Especially Nicole and Lori and Josh and Stephen and Jessi...
2022-02-2759 minKyle X Why?Chain Reactions. Crazy Contraptions. Madacorp.This week, on an episode podcasters everywhere are calling "the most Jordan has screamed since Amy Get Your Gun on Juergen' It," we read Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story chapter 19, "Ying and Yang"! Kyle is holding Emily's memories of her daughter hostage, but the 881227 Big Kyle super soldiers are on their way to tear him limb from limb. Will Jessi arrive in time (to blind all of the protesters outside of Madacorp)? I think so!

2022-01-091h 28Kyle X Why?881227 Big KyleHoo boy, this is a tough one. This week we read chapters 11 and 12 of Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story. Kyle is just mind controlling people now to punish anyone who is mean to Jessi. Meanwhile, Jessi and Nate are kind of becoming a thing despite her efforts to kill him with paintball. Don't worry though, this fic is still rated K for Kessi! Is a romance scene still romantic if it's immediately after a torture scene? Asking for no reason in particular.

It's a bold choice, but will it pay off? Well, honestly, the bigger concern is what these scenes are all leading up to. This episode is extremely rated K for Kessi.

Now, a week later, we can reveal... that the two main characters do not at the very start of the story! Hooray! Instead, here in chapter 5, Jessi gets "treated" to some deeply disturbing visions of the 1980s, in which Adam Baylin turns out to be the worst roommate and boyfriend imaginable. He seemed so nice!

Jessi is at a party drinking an entire Kyle's bed's worth of beer, and Kyle has to fight off some goons.

They already did it in season 2 with Ballantine, but let's do it again with Cassidy I guess? Season 3 is not very good, it turns out, unless you're first and foremost a Josh Trager fan.

Well, what if instead of that, they were the Burger King Kids Club? And Kyle had to compete in a hoverboard building competition against a jealous regular? Would that be good? Listen and find out!

First, we have a funny episode about Kyle and Josh delivering a stranger's baby while Jessi and Stephen play scrabble.

We're joined by Erin and Jesse of Secret Life of Two Gay American Teenagers to break down this ridiculous episode, similar to how Impound Man tried to break down three teenagers by swinging a chain at them and shooting them with a gun.

What's Kyle's remarkable plan to help his girlfriend while strengthening her trust in him? Well, maybe a practice kiss with Jessi will help. Oh, Kyle.

2021-05-2745 minKyle X Why?Hupping JocksRemember before when we joked about Kyle doing a heist with Stephen and Nicole? Well, this is S02E14, "To C.I.R. With Love", and, well. Good joke, us! So, this is the episode where the Tragers do a heist. Like the previous heist episode, it's a little busted, but that's okay. What's important is that Jessi is perfectly fine!

2021-05-2054 minKyle X Why?Hello, I'm Cobb Salad Cherry ColaSome good news and some bad news this week. The good news is that Kyle XY S02E13, "Leap of Faith", is totally off the wall and very good. The bad news is that a lot of it is pretty bad. In this longer-than-most-but-who-am-I-kidding-they're-all-pretty-long episode, we spend a lot of time breaking down what the show does right (everyone except Josh and Nicole) and what the show does wrong (Josh and Nicole). Also, Tom Foss is here, so it's a 100% good episode actually.

Anyway, now that you're here, want to rehash some boring Leclan drama? (That's what I call Lori and Declan!) Or maybe you'd be more interested in some uncomfortable Jandy content? (That's what I call Josh and Andy!) Don't worry, this episode isn't all bad. Tom Foss is in it! In fact, Tom Foss is in it so good that the episode is actually very good! Thank you, Tom Foss!
