We continue our Doctor Who 60th Anniversary retrospective wrapping up series 2 (David Tennant’s first season). Whovians will love the look back at the 10th Doctor especially as he returns for the anniversary...

The 'Verse! Squad is back after a visit to earth to cover all things New York Comic. Four days of coverage totaling 100+ hours of everything from Star Trek to Futurama, For All Mankind, Buffy, Scott Pilgrim and more.


We also head into the TARDIS (which smells of Dr. Pepper for some reason) to continue our DOCTOR WHO Retrospective - David Tennant's first season (series two) and finally close out AHSOKA too with a lively...

The squad blasts off to our favorite Star-iverses. First up is Star Wars to cover Ahsoka episode 6 and finally see some anxiously anticipated on-screen appearances. Tune in to hear what we loved, what we were wrong about in past theories, and what we’re manifesting for the finale.

Next up is Star Trek to cover Lower Decks episodes 3-4 where we get to see how Boimler handles his first away mission as a leader (spoiler alert, it’s po...

The Squad continues coverage of Disney+’s Ahsoka, and we’ve finally reached the episode that makes this solidly an Ahsoka show and not a Sabine show! Not that we were complaining. There’s lots of discussion about Rebels and the Clone Wars for seasoned Star Wars masters, but no spoilers for any budding Padawans.

Next we spin off back to the Doctor Who-iverse to finish our collective NuWho series one blindspot. Emilia is here to shep...

The squad continues their coverage of Disney+’s Ahsoka, including that reveal and we once again all align around the indisputable fact that well, light sabers are cool.

As are fezzes and Stetsons and fish fingers and custard…The rest of the squad will understand that reference soon enough because we’ve begun filling in our Doctor Who blindspot! Our resident Whovian Emilia (and Filmsnork behind the scenes!) invites the squad and aud...

Tune in to hear us discuss the Star Wars context you need to know to watch Ahsoka, our favorite moments of the show so far, and how well we think the live action series translates from animation!

We also revive our long-suffering news segment for this epis...

We're back! We have been MIA for a few weeks and have now returned to cover some great entertainment. Believe it or not, The 'Verse! squad has completed 100 standard full-length episodes. In addition, they have nearly 20 interview episodes which include conversations with many very talented (and cool) industry pros, the cast of The Boys, top showrunners, composers, writers, VFX teams, and more.

No one can explain why, but this was recorded weeks ago and sat in the vault, unpublished. We are glad to share it and you can expect a more timely episode delivery going forward.


In this 'lost' episode the squad continues coverage of the latest Disney+ Marvel show, 'Secret Invasion' - a show which was getting wait-and-see reactions from the squad. At this point things are heating up for Nick Fury and the Skru...

The Squad kicks off their coverage of the latest Disney+ Marvel show, Secret Invasion. It’s about time we got some unbridled Fury in this universe! Nick Fury, that is.

Played by Chace Crawford, The Deep’s character has been the writer’s punching bag for 3 seasons. He’s been me-too’d, joined a cult, had sexual relations with marine life, and in season 3, was forced to devour his octopus best friend alive (justice for Timothy!). The ‘Verse! had the extreme pleasure to talk with Chace Crawford about his iconic role.

An interview with two of the people that helped bring all of the Star Trek magic back in full force for a series you have heard us discuss at length on The 'Verse! 'Star Trek: Picard.' Dorothy threw us for a loop, after she sent us on interviews with stars of Prime Video's 'The Boys' we did not expect to find Picard Show Runner Terry Matalas and Production Designer behind the door - but we are glad we did.

The squad looks back on 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in anticipation of the newly released sequel, Across the Spider-Verse. Which we all have seen but cannot discuss yet because we are too busy interviewing some of the coolest people behind Star Trek: Picard... oh yeah and most the cast of The Boys.
