2024-02-1543 minLaser FocusDoctor Who SpecialsHappy New Year, faithful listeners! Kyle is back after
the holidays to talk to returning champion Tai Gooden about the recent Doctor Who specials, featuring David Tennant, Catherine Tate, and Ncuti Gatwa. They discuss righting the wrongs of 2008, Neil Patrick Harris’ outrageous German accent, and whether you’d know you saw a TARDIS if you saw it.
2024-01-041h 39Laser FocusBest TV of 2023This week, Kyle reflects on the year in genre television with Tai Gooden and Ro Rusak.

The six-episode first season (hey! No fair!) brought Maggie and Negan together in New York City to face a new deadly foe, but is the show up to snuff? Is it worth watching for anyone who noped out of the franchise? And is Rick Grimes fiction’s most put-upon hero? Listen and find out, and leave us feedback at laserfocus@nerdist.com.
