Doctor Who Playhouse

Stumbled upon this “Dr. Who Playhouse” in a catalogue today and just was so amused it wasn’t just called a Tardis but whatever. This would have been awesome to have as a kid, heck I want one now.   You can now subscribe to Toy-Ventures magazine, never miss an issue and be insured a pre-order […]

Pod Stallions 102: Doctor Who Magazine

Even as kids, the Pod Stallions boys voraciously kept up with their periodicals. Newsweek, National Geographic, Highlights and Dynamite, to name a few. But one mag stands above all others for most information gleaned: Doctor Who Magazine. (Formerly DW Monthly, formerly DW Weekly).     Without whom we wouldn’t have been half as Who-smart as […]

Pod Stallions 91: Sci-Fi Weapons

Yes, it’s the never asked for, long-awaited Pod Stallions episode all about SCI-FI WEAPONRY! From Buck & Flash to Scarlet & Koenig right past Kirk, Han, Luke, Pizer, and Logan right back to Flash again.

Pod Stallions 89: US Remakes of British Shows

“What do ‘Fawlty Towers’, ‘On the Buses’ and ‘Open All Hours’ have in common? If you answered ‘They’re all classic UK shows that got crappy US remakes’, you’d be right! But you’d have to add, ‘Brian & Jason also know way too much about it’. For every ‘All in the Family’, there are a dozen […]

Pod Stallions 63: Convention Stories

The last PodStallions we did was so much fun, we rushed back to do another, look at us being proactive! This week’s show is all about conventions and toy shows. We explore our humble first conventions (which were mind blowing to us then) and eventually get all the way to modern tales of San Diego […]

Pod Stallions 57: Amicus Films

It’s our October double shot! Episode 57 is all about the films by England’s other horror studio (even though it was run by two Americans) Amicus! We get into every film they make touching on their classic horror anthologies, Doctor Who movies and their amazing adventures with Doug McClure. We even discuss later films such […]

Pod Stallions 54: Movies of 1982

For our 54th show, we start with a brief (well for us) discussion about our thoughts on the newest actor to take the mantle of Doctor Who.  Then we dig deep into the movies released the summer of 1982. Some call it the greatest summer for movies and hey, a lot of these movies went […]

Pod Stallions Minisode 3: Records!

We’re back this week with another mini-sode and we’re talking about one of our favourite subjects, haunting record shops and collecting, of course.

Fawlty Towers, Power Records, The Ramones, Wild in the Streets,  GI […]

Pod Stallions 52: Tom Baker

Episode 52 is a unique turn on our usual tribute shows as the subject we’re speaking about is still alive and well. We salute veteran actor Tom Baker in this month’s show and celebrate not only his tenure as Doctor Who, where he cemented the character into pop culture but also his amazing turns in […]
