The Doctor is back and so are we! The first female Doctor is no small thing, so we got together to experience our new TARDIS team in person! We laughed, we cried, we grumbled (a little), we ate pizza, we clapped–and then of course talked about it all afterwards.
And keep an ear out for our favorite skeptical teen Hufflepuff–Toya’s daughter Sarai!

Ah, Captain Jack Harkness, arguably the sexiest part of “Doctor Who”, the one who swaggered into the Whoniverse and changed it irrevocably.
In this episode, we dig into the life (LIVES?) of our beloved omni/pansexual, Captain Jack – the one who’s attracted to us all. How he fought alongside the Doctor. How he became the leader of Torchwood. How he became the Face of Boe (no, for real…how did he do that???). How he found a love deserving of him in Ianto. And why does Toya call him “Sex Jesus”? Come find out!

And now for something completely different! Join us as we finally talk about “Black Panther.” Toya is ready to share her thoughts, her experiences, and most importantly, her feelings about Wakanda and what the possibility of a land without colonization means for Black people and for her personally. We also discuss reactions of non-black audiences and how the concept of identity winds through the entirety of the film.
To truly be faithful to the message of the film, we firmly center the experiences of Black people in our discussion. If you’re ready to consider what it might mean to not be welcome, how it feels to be on the outside, if you’re ready to be barked at because YOU CANNOT SPEAK HERE (HROO!), come on in!
Wakanda forever, y’all!

What can we say about Danny Pink? Seriously what can we say about him??? We spent one season getting to know the second black man to be boyfriend of a companion on the show, only to have him fade into the background like everyone else around Clara. Join us as we discuss the soldier who spent his time with us doing not much more than existing for Clara. Danny Pink (and Samuel Anderson), you deserved so much better.

It’s February and we have loooooooove on the brain. Join us as we VERY MATURELY discuss the Doctor’s crushes (platonic and not), familial love, and SEX! Okay, it’s more like romantic love, which includes a smidgen of sex. Just a little. A hint of sex. A tinge. A soupçon of sex, if you will.
And enjoy the moment where we completely lose it! Dirty jokes galore!

And we’re really excited to give you all a chance to go to YOUR Police Call Box and leave us a voicemail about topics we’ve talked about, ones you want us to talk about, ones you care about, things you love, hate, and everything in between. We love you all and want to hear your lovely voices!

In this episode, we take a journey through the lives of the devilishly delightful Professor River Song. Like the Doctor, River regenerates – and in each life, she is someone different – the beloved Baby Melody Pond, the mischievous best friend Mel, the assassin built to kill the Doctor, the Doctor’s Wife. But who is River…really? Come with us as we explore River’s (lack of) morality, celebrate her agency, and swoon when the Doctor finally returns her love. It’ll be quite a ride. But remember: There might be…spoilers, so be careful.
Oh! And Eugenia forgets her name, too! You should listen just for that!

Content/Trigger Warning: Child abuse, physical abuse, sexual violence
Domestic and sexual violence are horrible realities for so many. Minefields surround any film portrayals: Will it upset survivors? Will the show’s stance be clear? Will the subject be given the serious treatment it deserves? We want showrunners and writers to be sensitive to the real impact it can have on the people watching. So why do we see it pop up so commonly in the Whoniverse?
