Night Of The Living Geeks

Well, they can't all be zingers. And Vengeance on Varos is no zinger. As a dark, bleak, dystopian adventure, this story falls a little flat and relies on a bit of handwavium at times. There are still, however, some prescient takes on culture, decent effects, and Sil. He really steals the show! This week, we close out the 6th Doctor's televised adventures with Vengeance on Varos!

The IKWYPLS crew is coming to you from the quarantine realm with some hot takes about a cult classic of the horror genre - 1981's The Evil Dead! Likes, dislikes, Xena connections and the worst Airbnb ever... It's Deadite time on this episode of I Know What You Podcasted Last Summer!

For the second episode of the Pingcroft Pod, our hosts take a look at one of John's favorite movies of ALL TIME: Moneyball. Follow Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) as he tries to make something out of nothing with the Oakland A's. Tired of losing to the bigger pockets of the New York Yankees, Beane turns the baseball world on it's head with the help of Peter Brand (Jonah Hill). This movie takes a fantastic look at the behind the scenes running of a major league baseball team. Our hosts also go over the year end awards for MLB, and some movies facts from 2011. There was also so much crying. Many, many tears.

This time around on WDYWTTA, John is joined by his longtime friend and co-host of PODcastica: Taylor Nelson! They switch gears from talking about Doctor Who, to talking about something else near and dear to their hearts: The paranormal. They cover Synchronicities, Hellier, and how Taylor believes that everything is connected.

Call it serendipity or synchronicity, but on the anniversary of the passing of Liz Sladen, we just happened to choose to review THE TIME WARRIOR which saw (among many things) the introduction of Sarah Jane Smith! We dive into this story and really enjoyed the rollicking adventure that it provides! Grab your tights and a flagon of mead and let's talk about The Time Warrior!!

This week on Tornado Tag Radio, our hosts discuss the many layoffs that took place at WWE. Where could some of them go? Which one was the most surprising? They also talk about AEW Dynamite which featured Orange Cassidy displaying his "male wares". Along with a fun Chuck Taylor/Kip Sabian match!

WDYWTTA continues with Justin Quizon! Justin wanted to talk about one of his and John's favorite shows: Doctor Who! They talk about their introductions to the show, who their favorite Doctors are, and the Doctor Who convention: Gallifrey One!

Welcome to the very first episode of the Pingcroft Pod! Join life long baseball fan John and his filmmaking fiancé Lauren as they discuss some of the greatest baseball movies of all time that she somehow hasn’t seen. For their debut episode they tackle the 1992 classic: "A League of Their Own"! Was there no crying during this movie? Tune in to find out!

LIIIIGHT! Yes, this week we review the final 7th Doctor story (that we haven't reviewed yet) with Ghost Light! They certainly tried to pack a ton into a three-episode story. It comes off as a rather bonkers story that's mostly mystery for an episode and a half and then goes properly off the rails as an alien entity grapples with something every Doctor Who fan has to accept: change. And not a moment too soon, amirite? Join us as we stare at the sun with Ghost Light!

After an impromptu week off, TTR is back! This week, they're discussing everything that happened on last week's episode of AEW DYNAMITE! Then, they review a SINGLE MATCH from MLW's FUSION: MJF vs. MANCE WARNER in a Loser Leaves MLW match!

And, finally, the finale. In which I recap a draft that totally happened, but has unfortunately been lost and answer the final question that guest provided. Plus some well-wishes and a vague non-committal suggestion that maybe this isn't the end (but it probably is)!

Enjoy this supersized penultimate episode with your new friend Classigetssassi! We talk about basically pretty much everything and in our draft go unexpectedly deep as we talk about the things that we used to not like, but have since come to enjoy!

In our second episode meet your new friends Andy and Brian for more video game and Star Wars talk than you can stomach. Top it off by listening to three white men talk about hockey in our draft!

Meet your new friend Kenneth as we talk about a variety of topics from bees to Green Lantern. Then we draft the most trivial of things: What animals kick ass at zoos.

Last week, John said he needed some 7th Doctor in his life and PARADISE TOWERS is just what the Doctor ordered! We sit down and review what starts as a rather bonkers little story that definitely has some dark turns within! Cannibal grannies, anyone? Not to mention some absolute bangers (literally!) from Pex! So grab a can of fizzy pop, throw on your favorite color (only if it's blue or red), and join us as we travel to the top of Paradise Towers!

What a difference a month makes! With the world changed, Seb & Taylor get back together (a little late, sorry) to continue their look back at shows they remember from Nickelodeon in the 80s and 90s! Join us as we go from Ren & Stimpy, through Hey Dude!, to Today's Special, Green Acres, and more! We also spend a little time catching up on how we're doing now that we're living in the age of a pandemic. So grab yourself a cup o' green slime, settle in, and come along for the ride!

Join life long baseball fan John Pingel and his filmmaking fiancé Lauren Bancroft as they discuss some of the greatest baseball movies of all time that she somehow hasn’t seen...

This was undoubtedly the story in which Barbara encapsulated all of Doctor Who for all time: "All the Doors and Corridors are Exactly Alike." Indeed they do! But this week John & Taylor took a tour of THE SPACE MUSEUM! They were impressed by its high concept and how the story kept you guessing well into Act 4 if our TARDIS crew were changing history or stuck being part of it. Join us as we grab a pamphlet from the front desk and make our way through The Space Museum!!

After our hosts catch up about dogs (no, seriously) it's time to get down to the business of professional wrestling! They discuss the Exalted One's debut, Jake Roberts, and how much of a nerd (in the best way) CODY is. MLW FUSION finds it's way back into their rotation, and they discuss the great match between T-HAWK and HAMMERSTONE. They also take some questions from their listeners!

On the third episode of Soundtracks on the Sticks, hosts Chris Damasceno & Jordan Young are joined by Chris' long-time friend Cori Thomas (@KashTheKwik) to talk about Def Jam Vendetta, its soundtrack, the impact of a videogame that combined the concepts of pro wrestling & hip-hop and the trio even get into a bit of reminiscing about their respective 2003's and the years beyond alongside how videogames (and its music) can be the great connector!
