The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast- 'Last Christmas'

Merry Christmas, WHINECAST listeners!

But was it really christmas, or just one of your fruity cheese dreams? That's the question on everyone's minds this week , as we reconvene after our traditional festive stuffing to discuss this year's Doctor Who Christmas special.

It's no secret that the Christmas special is often a patchy experience...we've had the whole range, from great, to decent, to downright awful. So where does this year's entry, 'Last Christmas', fall?

There's Nick Frost's turn as the jolly man in the red suit, there's Capaldo on fine grumpatron form - and there's the blessed news that we won't be saying goodbye to Clara for at least one more series - but are these enough to make this a Christmas cracker to remember?

You know what to do!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast- 'The Christmas Invasion'

It turns out the only North this planet has is the North Pole - as this week Russell T Dog has decided he’s sick of Northern Soul and wants a bit of Cockney Geezer - and by ‘neck, he’s gonna use Christmas to do it!

Yep, it’s a big moment for the Rewatch Podcast as we’re peering outside and noting that our garden is covered in a beautiful blanket of ash, meaning that it’s time for Davey Tennant to step into his converse and usher in a brand new age for the revived Who.

But what do we make of the show’s first ever Xmas special? Does it stand the test of time? Is keeping the Doctor (or Doctor Who as *some* like to call him) offscreen for so long a brave, or idiotic move? Will Jackie and Mickey continue their affair right under Rose’s nose? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s festive edition of the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - 'Bad Wolf' & 'The Parting of the Ways'

It's a doublé!

Yep, for the first and probably only time, we're releasing two editions of the Rewatch Podcast at once! Are we doing this because it's a two parter? Because it's the finale? Because it's the grand goodbye to Ecclescake (since he didn't return)? 

No - it's all because we want to schedule things so that we can do 'The Christmas Invasion' at, uh, Christmas! But before we welcome old Davey T on the scene, we have to bid goodbye to the one hit wonder that is the Ninth Doctor - and by 'eck, it's been a hell of a run!

So, ready your death rays, owe Rodrigo a favour and pull a gun out of your arse - it's time to wave a fond farewell to Peter Ecclestone!

The Marvel Vs DC movie mash-up- 'Iron Man Three'

Ho ho holy crap, there's a foreigner blowing things up!

He's teaching us lessons. He's sending us cryptic video messages. Yes, that's right, it's time for us to face off against The Jo- Mandarin. Yes. The Mandarin. But as anyone who likes a bit of Marvel knows, it's not going to be that simple, there's twists and turns and oh so many gags ahead of us!

As it's Christmas, the Mash-up is delving into phase two of the MCU with the appropriately festive 'Iron Man 3'. But what does the world have in store for Tony Stark in the wake-of The Avengers? Well, it seems that basically it's a film that's very much its own beast - but is it a beast we want to tame and keep as a pet, or one we want to execute behind the woodshed?

Find out, in our Christmas Mash-up!!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - 'Boom Town'

Boom!

Yes, the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast is returning (unlike Peter Ecclestone) for another trip in the TARDIS, but would you believe it, the Doctor's gone and forgot to load this mother up with space petrol, so we're gonna be taking a bit of a pit-stop this week as the gang use the raw, elemental power of The Welsh to repower their Time Vehicle.

Of course, that's not all that's on the agenda. We've got plenty of opportunity to make Micky feel excluded, to flirt with men, women and Slitheen - and possibly to turn some woman into an egg because the TARDIS, much like Jimmy Savile, can grant wishes now.

It's one of the more low key episodes of the series, but the question is whether or not it's underrated. Do the stellar performances and moral quandaries put 'Boom Town' in the category of unrecognised classic? Or is this episode just lacking a bit of, well, boom? There's only one way to find out!

WHNECAST - The Bond 24 Announcement

Is that a spectre I see upon your shoulder, Mendes? Yes, the spectre of having to live up to the phenomenally successful Skyfall, Dannii Craig's last triumphant outing in Jimmy Bond's tuxedo

So, how is Mendes going to deal with the crushing weight of expectations? Well, we found out today - by enlisting a cast of super cool and super hot people, by getting the Skyfall scribes back on the case and by resurrecting one of the most beloved foes of the Bond franchise from the legal limbo it's inhabited for almost 50 years.

Yep, today saw the announcement of the title for the next Bond, the principal cast and a few tasty snippets of where Craig's era might be headed - and given our long history with the Bond franchise, we couldn't help but get ourselves behind the mic to offer our thoughts.

Just don't mention Blofeld.

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast- 'The Doctor Dances'

Oh, what a lovely war!

Yes, after our hiatus to delve into the world of CAPALDO, we're getting back on the horse with Peter Ecclestone right where we left off - awkwardly in the middle of a two parter!

And it's almost as if the ghost of the Capaldi era has come back with us, as it's only a Stevie Moffat special -so as you can imagine there's loads of sex, smut, innuendo and filth. Yep, tensions are rising this week (SEXUAL tensions) as Captain Jack arrives on the scene, leaving Rose with the difficult decision of whether she would better destroy Mickey's soul by sleeping with Jack, the Doctor or Jack and the Doctor.

Who shall she pick? The pretty boy or the bit of rough? Oh, and something about some little boy ending the world happens as well, allegedly.
