The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - 'The Return of Doctor Mysterio'

It's Christ's Mass!

And what better way to celebrate than with the return of an enigmatic, eccentric white haired fellow who seems to be able to bend time and space? Santa? No, silly, it's old Doctor Mysterio himself AKA Peter Capaldi AKA Doctor Who AKA The Doctor!


After a year (or twenty-four) away, Doctor Mysterio is back on our screens with the coincidentally annual Christmas Special. But something is amiss, as this Christmas Special seems to have a distinct lack of tinsel, snow and other festive shit and a definite abundance of latex, x-ray vision and other superhero shit. We seem to be taking a different approach to this year's festive adventure, but how will Who's flirtation with the superhero genre go down? Will it slide down smooth, like a fine Christmas pudding covered in Brandy Sauce? Or will it go down all jagged and cutting, like a glass Christmas star not covered in Brandy Sauce?

There's only one way to be sure - so grab your baby monitor, swallow your gem and take to the skies!

‘Home Alone’ commentary

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Yes, the festive season is upon us and before we look ahead to the new year, there’s just time for us to look back into our pasts, to think of our youth, to think of our family - and the time that we used our magic mind powers to make them disappear and then unleashed our sadistic tendencies on some desperate, petty criminals.


Here at ‘All of Whine and Space’ we’re just at the right ages for ‘Home Alone’ to have been a huge part of our childhoods, so amidst all of these Star Wars shenanigans, we thought it was time to pour on the brandy sauce, deliver a hastily wrapped present and do a commentary for the 1990 smash comedy that taught a whole generation of children that if someone enters your house unannounced, you can pretty much do whatever you want to them, moral implications be damned.

So join us as we enter the terrifying, vigilante justice-infused world world of Kevin McCallister’s psyche. Oh, what horrors await.

'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' review

There has been a rebellion - have you hoped it?

The hour is finally upon us and it’s time to start a new stage in ‘Star Wars’ history - the first ever anthology entry in the franchise, a format that is currently brand spanking new, but one that we’ll soon become extremely familiar with.


Leading the charge of this next chapter of the ‘Star Wars’ story is ‘Rogue One’, detailing the theft of the plans of one of the Empire’s many Death Stars by a plucky group of Alliance spies. Will us having pre-knowledge of later events hamper audience engagement in the film? Will this new ‘Star Wars’ format solidify confidence after the triumph of ‘The Force Awakens', or give us pause for thought? Most vitally, will the man-children of the internet be able to cope with two consecutive films featuring a female protagonist?

For the answer to these questions and many more - punch it!

‘Star Wars - The Force Awakens’ commentary

There has been an awakening - it were a year ago!

Yes, it's hard to believe, but it's been an entire year since the release of 'Star Wars no. 7: A Forced Awakening' - and what a year it's been! We’ve seen the return of the franchise to a place of cultural prominence and affection that seemed inconceivable a decade ago. But, a year later, does the latest entry in the Star Wars saga retain the shine it held for us upon its initial release? Where do we think this revival of Star Wars excelled, and where did it fall short? And how will the release of ‘Rogue One’ effect our view of a saga which has been, up to this point, a distinctly family affair?


Find out the answer to all these questions and many more, in our bumper look back at ‘The Force Awakens’!
