Doctor Who - ‘The Witchfinders’ review

Witches!

They’re increasingly common in the world, causing mischief and mayhem all on the bidding of the big man himself: The Devil. Which is exactly why they should be rooted out wherever they be - even if that is inside the amiable goon that is Our Jodie.


So, get your Dumping Chairs ready, it’s time to do some proper drownings!

Doctor Who - ‘Kerblam!’ review

Kerblam!

That’s exactly what we exclaimed when we were confronted with a mildly enjoyable episode of TVs ‘Doctor Who’ starring the popular character Doctor Who. As Chris Chernobyly and friends offer us some searing social commentary regarding Amazon’s creeping infiltration of every aspect of our lives, we at WHINE+SPACE get ready to ask the big questions - why don’t Ryan and Yaz have definable personalities, has the Doctor gone a bit adorably simple during her transition and is Graham contemplating ending his life via bubble wrap?


Grab your Microsoft Zune and get ready to fill it with the hottest of hot takes!

Kerblam!

The Tarantino Rewatch Project - ‘Reservoir Dogs’

Tarantino!

He’s an unknown indie director and we think that he’s one to watch. In fact, it turns out he’s got another film coming out next year - ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, so we thought now would be a great time to drum up some much needed publicity to this under-appreciated and virtually unrecognised auteur, with a look back over his directing career.


More importantly, we wanted to look at our own changing relationship to the chap, from bloodthirsty teenagers to defeated thirty-somethings, so we elected to radically shake things up by starting with his first film, the little-known ‘Reservoir Dogs’!

Stick these audiowaves in your Zune and get listening!

Doctor Who- 'Demons of the Punjab' review

Yaz!

The time has finally come for this young lady to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight - by going on a lovely visit to her Nan’s wedding and hoping she doesn’t summon some of those bloody Parademons.


Well, too bad - ‘cos that’s exactly what she does. Well, sort of. Look, there’s Yaz, there’s some demons and Our Jodie correctly identifies herself as quite the comedian, what more do you want?

Doctor Who- 'The Tsuranga Conundrum' review

Nifflers!

You get ‘em stuck in your Warp Pipes and they don’t half play havoc with your ship. People start detonating off into space. Robots start nicking drugs because they might have a problem. Chaps start giving birth out of their bottoms. So, showing the same universe-famous compassion that she displayed with the emergent Sheffield Spider race last week, the Doctor decides that the best way to deal with this is stick a lovely bomb in the lovely NIffler’s mouth - and see if it likes it.


Does it like it? Let’s find out!
