Apologies for the weird digital distortion from about 22 minutes in... No clue where it came from and I couldn't get rid of it in the edit without destroying the content. So I hope it doesn't annoy you too much.

As the fall 2012 - 2013 season draws to a close, Brendan, Ady and Spindles round up the best and the worst of this season's finalés. Special attention is paid, of course, to the Doctor Who finalé. This podcast contains huge spoilers for Doctor Who so be warned if you've not yet watched the end of this season.
Also covered are the latest Star Trek film, some bad news for Brendan on the new Star Wars movies and a little trick to allow you to watch the american version of Netflix. 

Episode 9: Jason and the Argonerds

Submitted by Spindles on Fri, 10/05/2013 - 09:40

This week, Brendan and Spindles are joined in the studio by Cody in Ady's absence.
Things up for debate this week include what's been cancelled and renewed in TV land, neural interfaces, more reactions to more Crow remake news plus the usual mixed bag of other stuff. I will confess that I got my actresses mixed up, it was not Christina Ricci who appeared in a Crow sequel, it was, in fact, Kirsten Dunst. So, my apologies in advance.
