Lost - Ten Years Later

Well, son of a gun. It’s been ten damn years since the end of the popular television show ‘Lost’ - and you may recall that, once upon a time, WHINE+SPACE did a podcast or two looking back on the show. But, hell, if there’s ever a time to look back at looking back, it’s after a decade, so join us as we discuss our feelings about the finale, the show’s arc, and make a conceptually flawed stab at picking our ten favourite episodes.

Lost - Ten Years Later

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - ‘The Vampires of Venice’

Vampires! They’re sexy. They’re bitey. They’re...fishy?? Well, *something’s* rotten in the state of Venice and you can bet the ultimate power triangle of Kazza G, Rory and Doctor Who from the hit TV show ‘Doctor Who’ are bound to figure out what the score is - all the while attempting to avoid discussing Amy’s calculated attempt at infidelity!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - ‘Flesh and Stone’

Audio fuckery abounds this week, as we row upstream against Skype’s wishes to discuss the second part of Moffat’s series 5 Weeping Angel spectacular. Fortunately, it’s bloody worth it, as we find an episode in which it’s all cracking off - Amy can’t keep her eyes open, the Doctor can’t keep his jacket on, River can’t keep out of prison and the Angels can’t catch a break.

Join us as we tediously slather the episode with unrelenting praise for an hour!

'Star Wars' State of the Union 2020

The dead speak! Or rather, we do. For way too long, about the state of 'Star Wars', on what is increasingly being known as #StarWarsDay. It's 2020, and since nothing else of note is going on in the world, WHINE+SPACE are sitting down to ask the big questions. Where does 'The Rise of Skywalker' leave the saga, now we've had few months to digest things? Also, as the UK has now received all of 'The Mandalorian' (finally), how does that change our perception of Star Wars, what we view as 'canon' - and where would we like the franchise to go from this point on?

Punch it!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - ‘The Time of Angels’

What do we need? ANGELS. When do we need them? THE CURRENT TIME.

Yep, we’re dealing with a whole bunch of firsts this week on the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast. The first time Matthew Smith meets the Sad Angels. The first time Matthew Smith meets River Song. The first time that fella from The Streets stands on a golf course looking dazed. Join us, won’t you?

‘Avengers: Endgame’ - one year on

Incomprehensibly, it’s been an entire year since the release of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the UK - and so we take a look back at our most anticipated film of our lifetimes with a year’s hindsight. Where did it leave the MCU? Where will it go next? How will the pandemic effect both the logistical and creative direction of the MCU - and how do we feel about the mass tragedy depicted in ‘Endgame’ in light of the all-too-real tragedy currently gripping the planet?

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - Victory of the Daleks’

Guess who’s back? Back again. Back for more. It’s the Dereks!

WHINE+SPACE’s look back at Series 5 of Nu-Who continues, with both the return of the Daleks for the first time since their big series 4 finish, the first time Smith meets them, the first Dalek story of the Moffat era - and the first time ol’ Merkin Mark Gatiss joins in the fun under the Moffat regime.

Will the Doctor nail the Daleks once and for all, or will they once again prove to be jammy dodgers?

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - ‘The Beast Below’

Young Matthew Smith and his nightie-rockin’ lassie Kazza G are back for a second go around, and a simple act of trying to murder Amy in a ‘space accident’ results in Smithy and Kazza catching sight of the Starship UK - surprisingly suggesting the UK is still an entity in the year 50 bajillion. Before you know it, Matthew Smith is suspiciously befriending lonely children, Kazza G’s covered in whale vomit and there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark, by which I mean the UK.

Does torturing animals make them go faster? There’s only one way to find out!

The Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast - ‘The Eleventh Hour’

At long last! It turns out, all it took was a global pandemic to get us to return to the Who re-watch, and finally crack on with the most exciting era there is - that of Young Matthew Smith and Steven Merkin’ Moffat. Join us as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Smith’s first episode, in our characteristically late fashion - and please excuse a few rough edges on the audio front, we’re isolating in different locations and this is our first ever remote episode, bear with us!

Doctor Who - ‘The Timeless Children’ review

So, it all comes down to this! Or something. Chibbers has been threatening to turn us around and turn off the gas in the series 12 finale - but does he improbably pull it off?

Well, let’s just say that Chibnall gonna Chibnall, so it all goes pretty much exactly how you might expect. Ryan throws a ball. Yaz identifies as a sociopath. Graham struggles with hats. Jodie realises that she is a very old alien who can regenerate when injured.
