Nathan and Juliette take their first foray into the world of Doctor Who. First up is an introductory episode where Nathan and Juliette introduce themselves. Then they review both the unaired and aired pilots of the series. Along the way they discuss the challenges of filming, whether there’s more chemistry than just what’s in the classroom between Ian and Barbara, issues with looking straight at the camera, what makes something ‘alive’, and whether the Doctor is just a violent kidnapper. Nathan brings up a lot of behind-the-scenes info and before it ends they’re interrupted by a very special cat. Please note: this recording was plagued by sound issues that we were only partially able to fix in editing. However, we didn’t want to re-record because we wanted our reactions to the discussion to be genuine. The sound issues have been addressed for future episodes.

While many of the main characters in Doctor who are still with us there are several who have sadly passed. Big Finish has kept the memory of those Doctors and companions alive by recasting the parts. In this episode we once again take a step back to Chicago TARDIS 2016 and an opportunity to discuss voice acting, playing an iconic role, and Fraser Hines’ fantasies. 
In this episode we turn to our archive of con panels and pull one of the earliest recordings that we have for the 42cast. The year was 2016, but the content is still relevant today. In this one we discuss how prolific Doctor Who media is and what our strategies are for deciding how much and in what ways we keep up with it. 
Ant Man and the Wasp had a strange position in the Marvel schedule. Sandwiched between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Ant Man and the Wasp tells the story of what happened to Scott Lang between Civil War and Infinity War. In this episode we unpack the story. We talk about the comic roots that inform some of the choices. We talk about the characters and the storyline. We also talk about how we feel that this will impact Endgame and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. 
After six seasons, the Once Upon a Time showrunners decided that the series needed a change. Performing a soft reboot, they recast most of the characters and moved the action to a suburb of Seattle. The season met with mixed reactions. Many found it hard to get used to the new characters and the revised personas of the few characters that they’d been following for years. Others felt that the series lacked the depth that it had had in previous seasons. Others appreciated the new take. In this episode, we take a deep dive into season 7 and discuss what worked and what didn’t, how we felt about the characters in this season new and old, and whether we felt that it ended too soon.
