Does Annie like Peter "Marlboro Light" Davison? Has Matt watched Secret Invasion yet? Who or what is the Kang Dynasty? And why-oh-why did Matt pre-order the super-ultra-deluxe editions of Once and Future? All that and more as the RoD Bois pay a visit to 'The Artist at the End of Time'!

Hey RoDers,
There are now 200 of you! That's amazing - thank you all so much for your continued support, it means the world to us and is *literally* keeping the lights on. We're so happy with how our Patreon content is coming along and we're looking forward to doing more and more stuff.
With that said, our next spin-off commentary is the most bonkers thing we've ever seen. Just Who on Earth is Tom Baker? is a mind-meltingly bizarre examination of the titular Tom's psyche ...

Hey all,
Hope everything is funky, groovy and generally hip with you!
In case you missed it, we dropped our latest commentary, Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans, last week and also posted the early access link to this week's brand new podcast review of the Series 8 stinker, 'Into the Forest of the Night'. Hope you enjoyed them both!
We're eager to sink our teeth into more of those spin-offs - they're very endearing and throw our minds back to a simpler time when co...

Matt and Billy don their bacofoil slacks and hoist their solar sails as they boldly go where no fans have gone before (since the mid-90s anyway!), with a commentary and critique of the 1994 direct-to-video spin-off drama, Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans.
Stick around after the main feature for a quick look at the 'Making of...' doc and also a wee slideshow of fabulous behind-the-scenes pictures taken by Alan Stevens...

Howdy doodly doo! How's it going?
It's been a while since our last update post - so with things starting to settle into a rhythm in RoD-Land and no Patreon exclusive episode today, we figured it was time to smarten you lovely lot up. Lots to get through so we'll try and make this as concise as possible.
This morning/evening/anywhen, Matt and Billy recorded their first mainline episode of RoD since Big Bill's Big Move to New Zealand and it went fabulously. Once all the technical fa...

Our next Patreon special will be a look at the 1994 direct-to-video spin-off, Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans. We’re planning on recording a commentary and review and releasing it once we reach 200 RoDers! We’ll also look at the ‘Making of…’ feature and we have some cool behind-the-scenes snaps to share as well!

Time to revisit a RoD classic! 7 years ago, fuelled by spite and Lynx, the Boys ran down the episodes they considered to be the most overrated in Doctor Who history!
Now, they go back and take a cautious glance at their old thoughts and feelings and contrast them with their modern take on all things slightly over hyped.

Howdy RoDers,
Hope you’re getting over the Jan/Feb blues and are looking forward to things warming up a bit in the UK! If you live outside of the UK and it’s been warm for ages, good for you, you bastards.
Time to cozy up with another instalment of RoD - this time, the Boys critique the subterranean 5th Doctor story, ‘Frontios’!
Hey all!
Just a quick change to our upcoming episode line-up to tell you about, plus a call to submit questions for our semi-regular RoD Patreon Q&A session!
We’re reshuffling the order of upcoming eps to better utilise the time Matt and Billy have together before the inevitable happens! Plus, it made more sense to move a certain Egyptian-themed 4th Doctor epic to a later date in March as it’s closer to Matt’s birthday (as per the tradition of reviewing our favourite sto...
