Time for an animated discussion about old cartoons, two-dimensional characters, American accents, metafictional wall-breaking, and lots more about this week’s episode, “Lux.” Also, Jason places a $5 bet on an extremely wacky theory involving Mrs. Flood. Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.

85: "The Robot Revolution" (S2E1)
“Doctor Who” is back, and you know what that means: Russell T Davies has once again built a story designed to re-introduce the show and introduce a new companion. Oh, and also this podcast has returned! We discuss Miss Belinda Chandra in all her forms—all hail the queen. Chip Sudderth and Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra.

84: "Joy to the World" (2024 Christmas Special)
Surprisingly not a vehicle for a single guest star, this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special features a Time Hotel, Dinosaur shenanigans, Thanos glitter, a bootstrap paradox with a lantern firmly attached, and a stunning ten minutes where the Doctor does time at a non-time hotel. Oh, and yeah, a really famous star is introduced. Chip and Jason break it all down. Happy Christmas to all! Jason Snell and Chip Sudderth.

83: "Empire of Death" (S1E9)
We wrap up this first Disney+/BBC season by accentuating the positive where we can find it, before finally giving in and explaining all the ways this episode failed. Perhaps things will be better at Christmas. We’ll see you then! Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.

82: "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" (S1E8)
It’s part one of a two-part finale, which leaves Jason and Chip struggling with how to judge it. But somehow we find a way—and it mostly leaves us feeling frustrated. Chip Sudderth and Jason Snell.
