Doctor Whooch

Hi, there's no metaphors in "witch hunting", is there? GOOD MORROW kind folks and WELCOME to this SALACIOUS episode of the Doctor's Whooch, as presented by the DELECTABLE Danica and the BAWDIFOROUS Brandon. THIS WEEK! A missive regarding "THE WITCHFINDERS", starring one Mr. ALAN CUMMING, and it may in fact be his GREATEST performance since the RADIANT JOY of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS was BESTOWED upon this world. It was fun. Outro music is "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we invited the ire of a billionaire. But I mean... what ELSE is new. On this week's show, it's "Kerblam!" - the 7th episode in the stellar 11th series of Doctor Who! In what might be our best (or worst?) episode yet, we lobby to get paid a lot of money to help the masses. And only a heartless person would deny our request.

What part of "be a good person" was hard to understand? On this week's episode, Danica and Brandon are talking about the series 11 episode of Doctor Who entitled "Demons of the Punjab" as only two white people can: with unearned confidence. Which makes them uncomfortable and awkward. So hey, all in all, a pretty regular episode of the show. Enjoy! Outro music is a "First Love" by Emmy the Great Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Apologize? Apologize for what! On this week's show, Danica and Brandon are talking about "The Tsuranga Conundrum", which puts The Doctor and Team TARDIS in a bit of a space pickle. Also, there's a wild space pregnancy, and a WHOLE LOT OF BROKEN FAMILY FEELS. And a cute as hell monster creature. So. There's that. Outro music is a "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

WHY WOULD YOU SUGGEST IT? On this week's show, Brandon goes it alone... sort of... as Danica's phobia of spiders comes into play. Thankfully, Kat from Verity is on hand, as a great guest host to talk about the series 11 episode... (checks papers) "Arachnids in the U.K." Which is almost definitely about space unicorns and not spiders. Almost definitely. Outro music is a metal cover of Sex and the City we found on the internet.

In which SURPRISE! Racism isn't cured. On this week's episode, Danica and Brandon are two white people talking about the Series 11 episode "Rosa", so you know... take our drunk opinions for what they are. Also hey, feel free to hit the internet for more pertinent voices. We have a link to some in the show notes. K thanks byyeeeeeeeee. Outro music is a metal cover of Sex and the City we found on the internet. Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY There's a pretty good list of folks to listen to on all matters regarding the Rosa episode here.

In which NO ONE CRIES HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST IT. On this week's episode, The Doctor and her best friends are out in spppaaaaaaaaaace! Which is slightly problematic when you're, you know, in the vacuum of it, and not in a ship. But no worries! There are ships, and Brandon and Danica DEFINITELY remember the names of who the pilots were and they don't at all ruin the emotional resonance of many scenes. Anyway, hey! It's "The Ghost Monument" and it is brilliant, and thank you all for listening. Outro music is "Best Friend" by Foster the People Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY You can listen to "So You Think You Can Danica" with Danica and our good friend Devin R. Bruce by heading over here!

On this week's show... uh... huh. I dunno. Did anything cool happen recently? With Doctor Who? Ah, we'll think of something. FINALLY, Doctor Who is back, and it is a brand new era, with Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor, and a bevy of new folks behind the scenes! Do we have opinions? Will we compare this to Moffat era stuff? All good questions, you. Clever, clever. Do a listen, and we're sure you'll find the answers you're looking for, just... fairly incoherently. Outro music is "Changes" by Bananarama Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we bid Devin adieu as we send him into the SEA... ...of our gratitude. Also, it is his last episode for now. Sad faces all around! Well, it has come to this. The last episode of Miracle Day, and the last episode of Torchwood. It has been a ride. As Danica and Brandon bid a fond farewell to their season long guest, they all endure and episode where there is a lot of blood, and the world has two buttholes. And if you control the buttholes, you control the world, but only if you have special blood? Torchwood is wild, y’all. And there wasn't even a lizard people conspiracy!  Outro music is "Deeper Than Beauty" by Sloan Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Well, THAT took a turn. And that's saying something... seeing how we're still watching Torchwood. Folks, Brandon, Danica, and Devin are almost done with this run. It's the home stretch! The second last episode - Torchwood: The Gathering. In which a bunch of nerds meet up at the centre of the earth to cast spells or something? Who knows at this point. All we REALLY know is that there's a thing with blood and possibly vampire mole men. What. It could be a thing. Outro music is "Explode" by Balthrop, Alabama Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

More Torchwood! Will Devin ever forgive us for making him watch these? WHO KNOWS. Torchwood keeps being Torchwood in the eighth episode of Miracle Day. Apparently, three old white dudes wanted to live forever and so now things are really bad because people are dumb and horrible. But don’t worry! This can be solved with a dead lover, and fancy floor paneling. So that’s what WE’VE been up to. Howsabout you?

Thrust is a very important part of Torchwood. Very important. Danica, Brandon and Devin are still trying to make their way through Torchwood's "Miracle Day", and have arrived at episode seven, "Immortal Sins". While Torchwood is usually a catalyst for (entertaining) trash, this week it actually opens up a good conversation about bi-sexuality in popular media. The perfect thing to discuss while drunk! Anyway, it’s not bad, because the flashbacks are good, but then it gets back to the plot, and that's a horrible mistake, just like this season. There. We said it.

In which WE CREATE A GOD. We're back, and still on our bullshit, watching more of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Specifically, "The Middle Men" So watching this is a trip, friends. Was Russell T. Davies trying to warn us about the future using VERY FLAWED TELEVISION? Let’s say that is the case, otherwise, WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS. Also: a woman taking down her terrible, rich boss is our favourite person. Who would have guessed! Also also? A Superman! Pysch? And what 80s and 90s cartoons were Super Drugs.

Spoiler alert: the bleakest Torchwood episode is here. On this week's show: ash. Sadness. The void grabs our souls with cold tendrils, refusing to let go. All in all: Torchwood. Danica, Brandon and Devin push their way through the 5th episode of Miracle Day, entitled "Categories of Life", and let's just say... it's an experience. Also: get a look at the origin story of Danica and Brandon through Devin's point of view! That part is fun. Outro music is “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which Devin has to moderate a domestic dispute. Welcome back to (WHY ARE WE DOING THIS) a full on, deep dive into Torchwood: Miracle Day, with your regular hosts, Danica and Brandon, and our irregular host, Devin R. Bruce. On this week's show: "Escape to L.A."! It's... interesting. At almost all times, at least one of us can't remember the names of the Americans on the show, which is fun. Also, there's a lot of yelling. TORCHWOOD. Outro music is “Drinking In L.A.” by Bran Van 3000 Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY  

In which FINALLY, all the weird sex and terrible relationships we've come to expect from Torchwood arrive! Welcome back to the sex house, babies! And the first and only episode we go out of our way to name check the man who put a seamless scene of butts together. Congrats, Michael N Knue - you did it! Anyway, Brandon, Danica and Devin are still trying to get through Miracle Day, and something terrible is coming. But in this episode, it's just folks who are coming. Do... do you get it? Oh, you get it. Outro music is “Let's Get It On” by Marvin Gay Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which the world still has flip phones because OF COURSE THEY DO. Danica, Brandon and Devin are back for more Torchwood for some reason. In THIS episode (entitled "Rendition") we attempt to remember Rex's basic-ass American name, with diminishing results. Also! Evil instructions are related through triangle, and Bill Pullman is not dead. Bill Paxton is. We checked. Like... the internet, not... not any bodies or anything. Oh god just stop typing. Outro music is "American Girl" by Elle King Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello ladies. Hello laddies. We're BACK. Welcome to a very special season of Doctor Whooch, in which we dig into the final season of Torchwood (Miracle Day!) with a very special guest... Devin R. Bruce! He's going to be here for all ten episodes and he's very uncomfortable about it which means he's perfect for the job. (He's great.) On this episode - we're talking about Episode One entitled "The New World". Inside: Danica kills English professors! Everyone has VERY LEGITIMATELY AMERICAN NAMES. There's a baby with a shotgun? Probably! It's Torchwood. And also, Rhys still isn't dead, and Brandon can not handle it. Friggen Rhys. Outro music is "I Sat By The Ocean" covered by Gaba Kulka Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY

In which we say good-bye... and good riddance.  Danica and Brandon are back to finally give their tipsy opinions on "Twice Upon A Time", the final Moffat era Doctor Who episode. And while it ALSO sadly marks the end of Peter Capaldi's time as the Doctor, they pull no punches. And sure, some might say we should have put this episode out before now, but here at Doctor Whooch, we like our takes like we like our drinks: on ice. So there.

In which a kid slides directly into his dad’s DMs and then catches the consumption. It's part two of our spectacular Companions Season finalé, in which we continue to talk about The Curse of the Black Spot with Doctor Who podcast luminaries Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky! In this episode, a Steven Moffat conspiracy theory is hatched, and we discuss how Doctor Who fans aren't detail oriented at all, and how crowns are pretty dope. Plus: drunk Chris Chibnall talk! Also, the appearance of some pod cats! No, we don't really edit, why do you ask? Outro music is "Pinball Wizard" as covered by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, which you should see the full video for. Podcast picture is by GIRL NAMED SHIRL PHOTOGRAPHY
