Doctor Who Flashcast 76: "Space Babies" (S1E2)
00:51:34
“Doctor Who” regnerates for a whole new first season on Disney+. Russell T Davies has a plan to welcome new audiences, but do his showrunner machinations balance out with the narrative elements of this episode? Chip and Jason consider what RTD’s up to, why he’s doing it, what works, and what doesn’t.

We begin our walk through the 2024 nominees for Best Novel from the Hugo and Nebula Awards. First up: “Starter Villain” by John Scalzi, “Translation State” by Ann Leckie, and “Witch King” by Martha Wells.
Agents of SMOOCH 118: The Kiss That Broke the Internet
01:03:45
It’s our Director’s birthday! She is using her power to make the Agency do a mission about Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens. If you like seeing Angels and Demon romance each other in a gentle comedy about the end of the universe, this is the episode for you.
Discovery rolls on toward its end, with an episode that should involve a lot of plot pivoting, but ends up being an old-fashioned talky diplomatic dilemma crossed with scientific puzzle solving. Also, so many Breen! And Rayner learns that when you’re in trouble, you have to take the walk of shame instead of beaming home.
It’s the eighth edition Mind Meld! And if you thought there couldn’t possibly be another set of categories our group of contestants could (mostly) agree on, then you’d be wrong! And being wrong in this game is not the right thing to do.

The Dog & Pony crew is back! Bruldish, Crucible, Elavor, Imra, Lina, and the whole menagerie kick off the season with a drawbridge that’s just a bridge, a really charming rat, some sweeping in the dark, and a real mist opportunity.
Huzzah! Dan is back and we’re back on the X-Men beat. This week we cover an eclectic set of mid-season episodes. A fun Tron-Romp, some trippy malevolent force thing, and a simply stunning and terrific episode on Genosha.

01:13:18
The Bad Batch comes to an end, and your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are here to see it off in style. We discuss zillo beasts roaming wild, the keys to evil base real estate, and Wrecker’s Fish Shack, as we bid adieu to our clone family…for now?

The Incomparable Mothership 714: You Can't Protect People From "Doctor Who"
01:23:29
Put on your mouse ears and step into the TARDIS! We’re discussing the return (rebirth? regeneration?) of “Doctor Who” in 2024, this time on Disney+ (and the BBC). It’s a new era with an old showrunner. How did the 2023 specials hit us, where should curious viewers start watching, and what are our hopes for the coming season?
