Night Of The Living Geeks

A broken family. Secluded forests. A demon watching from the shadows... On the latest episode of IKWYPLS, we head deep into the woods for Jordan Graham's Sator. Our hosts tell you what they liked, what they didn't, and ponder the nature of 'artsy' horror. So, give yourself over to this episode, IKWYPLS is calling...

Cold War is a tight, well-directed base-under-siege story in which the base is a claustrophobic submarine trapped 700m underwater and they're under siege from the inside by an Ice Warrior! Grand Marshall Skaldak has just awoken from a 5000 year slumber and no one's offered him any coffee yet. Can The Doctor and Clara head off both an international and intergalactic incident?! Join us as we review Cold War!

13 years ago, the Doctor welcomed a daughter into his life. She was a...full-grown adult woman who could speak, handle a rifle, and was a clone of his hand (while there was already an extra hand of his floating around in the TARDIS!). Not your typical birth, to say the least! This time around, we review The Doctor's Daughter! It's a fun story with great looking creatures, well-crafted arcs, and some memorable moments! We also look at the first block of guests for the next Gallifrey One, so join us!

This month we talk about GHOSTS! While possibly the most subjective of all experiences with the Phenomenon, we definitely have some weird experiences while recording this episode! We take a high-level look at what ghosts could be and definitely hit on some topics we'll come back around to in greater depth in future episodes.

Nobody loves birthdays like the folks at Willy's Wonderland, the titular children's entertainment center featured in this month's movie. Closer to Five Nights at Freddy's than Chuck E Cheese, Willy's Wonderland has been shut down for years while the joint's band of animatronic animals gathers dust on the stage. A nameless, silent drifter might be able to revive Willy's if he can stay overnight and clean up behind the building's locked doors. At the same time, a gang of stock teens led by a kerosene-wielding delinquent named Liv are hoping to put a stop to Willy's shenanigans for good. There's plenty of satanic panic, robot spines, and terrible dialogue to discuss on the latest episode of I Know What You Podcasted Last Summer! Don't forget to take plenty of breaks, stay hydrated, and don't eat anything you find in the Super Happy Fun Room. Music used in this podcast: 'An Abandoned Ballroom' by Lyndon Scarfe.

A quarter million years in the future (not that we're explicitly told that), The Doctor, Clara, and her two wards (remember Clara's nanny phase?) land on a theme park planet that's certainly seen better days! Things quickly go south as Cybermites kickstart the long-dead Cybermen on display and a high-paced, high-stakes story ensues! We discuss Nightmare in Silver...did this 2013 episode improve with age? What did we think of these more Borg-like Cybermen? And has the psychic paper become as much of a story-telling crutch as the sonic sometimes is? Join us as we talk about all that and more!

It's a classic tale of xenophobic astronaut turned general using alien ambassadors to kill, steal, and do his dirty work! Sound like a lot to take in? It is! Because we're reviewing the 7-part 3rd Doctor serial The Ambassadors of Death as we round out all the Doctor Who stories that end in "of Death!" While there's lots to follow in the story, there's also lots of action, lots of shooting, and even a bit of humor. So steer clear of the static touch, strap in, and let's get into The Ambassadors of Death!

In the long-overdue fifth episode of Soundtracks on the Sticks, hosts Chris Damasceno and Jordan Young return and with some help from Chris' long time friend Jamaal Graves (@Ryyudo), they go over the history behind what brought Dance Dance Revolution to the cultural forefront in the 2000s, stories of old of all three men's involvement with the game itself, favorite tracks over the years to play and the overall impact that it made on the gaming scene with its direct and indirect successors.

Nearly 50 years ago at a hunting cabin deep in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Ron Morehead and Al Berry recorded some of the most unusual and compelling vocalizations. Mere years after the Patterson-Gimlin film shocked the Bigfoot community, the Sierra Sounds (as they’re known) brought a whole new dimension to the legend of Sasquatch: the possibility of language. While few would argue that Morehead and Berry definitely recorded something in the forests of the Sierra Nevadas in the early 1970s, many have debated what actually created the sounds. Without corroborating evidence, scientists are quick to claim they recorded bears or mountain lions. Cryptozoologists and even some linguists point to these recordings as evidence that multiple bigfoots were communicating with each other, as well as Morehead and Berry, outside a hunting cabin eight miles from civilization.

The Doctor and Leela, having just faced down a crazy zealot with a glove for a helmet, land in a mine. Well, on a mine. Well, on a mining ship...er, mining tank? Anyway, they’re on this giant mining vessel (yes, vessel sounds good) crewed by a small team of humans (who, if we’re being honest, have some of the most wild outfits!) and a much larger team of robots. However, under the surface (it’s a mine gag...the gag is also mine), foul play is afoot as humans start dying off left and right. But who is behind these, ahem, Bad Robots? Can the Doctor and Leela save the day before everyone is marked by the bicycle reflectors of doom?

Still feeling those stuck-in-your-house, pandemic-based blues? Well, the IKWYPLS crew is here to double-down on those vibes with a double-feature episode: 2007's Rec and the 2008 remake, Quarantine! We dig into what we liked and what we didn't like about these two films, found footage realness, the proper methods of trepanning, and much more...

On Podcastica, we're quickly realizing that the Second Doctor's era contains some of the most ambitious storytelling in all of Doctor Who's history! The Seeds of Death is no exception and we find very little fat that could be trimmed from its six-episode length. The Ice Warriors are back and have a devious plan to make the Earth habitable for these Martians! We find some great adventure, hilarious computer voices, and absolutely excellent directing!! Join us for the #TroughtonRun through The Seeds of Death!

This episode would make more sense if one or both of us was under the influence of something, but I swear to you by Great Odin's Ravens, Huginn, and Muninn, that we were sober as judges. But we got WEIRD. Maybe the most normal part was where we talked about photos of cows for several minutes and then asked the question of the ages--Is cows dogs? What about horses? Can an inanimate object be is dogs? Our activity for the episode is another round of gratitude where ONE HOST big-dogs the other host prettttty thoroughly but it's all good because, for real, if you're not happy for your friends then what are you even doing with your life? It's the episode where we need to regain our composure! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

No, you haven't tumbled into the movie The Lighthouse. It's Horror of Fang Rock! This 4th Doctor adventure is full of excellent Leela moments, a team of lighthouse keepers, a mysterious meteor crashing into the ocean, a creepy fog, a crashed boat of snooty types, one excellent slap, and only two characters make it to the end of the story! Horror of Fang Rock is essentially a British murder mystery masquerading as Doctor Who. Join us as we punt the Rutan back down the stairs over and over again!

Two hours north of Las Vegas, in the high desert of what we like to call the Great American Southwest, lies a base that went unacknowledged for decades. That secrecy, combined with rumors, theories, and legends, created the myth that we know as Area 51. Whether it’s merely a CIA base that developed aircraft like the U-2 and SR-71 or whether we’re to believe the stories of Bob Lazar and others that alien technology is being reverse engineered there, Area 51 became a fixture in pop culture during the late 80s and early 90s. In the mid-90s, filmmaker Roger Mexico and his friend Michael Brown captured a slice of UFO culture that feels almost quaint today. More than just a snapshot of believers and contactees, Alien Highway also preserves for us views of Area 51 that can no longer be accessed by the public because of government land grabs. This month, we headed off the main road and driving up to the gates of Area 51 with a look at Alien Highway and a look back at UFO culture in the 90s.

Someone call Boy George because we've got another Culture Club episode coming up! We watched Eddie the Eagle, a heartwarming film about breaking every bone in your body because Wolverine shows you how to do it. But before we do that we discuss the children's movies that traumatized us and the adult movies (but not that kind of adult movie) that we watched at way too early an age... It's the episode where you learn way too much about Standing High Jump! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

Doesn't even own a webcam and is bad at video games anyway.

After far too many episodes, we review a Big Finish story (and we have plans for more in the near future)! Between a hard-boiled detective and a multi-colored Doctor, we find The Maltese Penguin! Originally a bonus story, this adventure is a fantastic blend of parody, homage, and crazy Doctor Who logic! If you've never heard this one, be sure to check the show notes for a link to purchase the story.

Here comes the IKWYPLS crew once again, creeping in all silently with another spooky movie - and with another Bay Area connected movie as well... In this episode, we dive into 1980's The Fog! We've got small town secrets, familiar faces, and low-lying clouds full of deadly intent! So, keep a close eye on the weather systems outside as you settle in and listen to the latest I Know What You Podcasted Last Summer!

TTR is back! We're discussing the FORBIDDEN DOOR being OPEN on AEW! Omega/KENTA vs. Archer/Moxley, Thunder Rosa/Leyla Hirsch, and the Hangman/Hardy saga! Plus: They talk about Sammy Guevara quitting INNER CIRCLE!

Talk a Deux Season Two (which RHYMES) rolls along with a remarkably abstract question that has both of us wondering the difference between fall and winter--not literally, of course, we all know that winter is when Persephone is in the underworld with Hades because we're cool Hellenistic teens. Classi reads a letter and soup is finally given its time to shine. For our activity we play another round of MadLibs and see if you can identify the moment Nick gives up on his pledge to be maximum raunch and settles into the groove of medium to medium-rare raunch instead! It's the episode where we ask what actually IS an adjective! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.
