The Unsalted Popcorn Podcast

Well, the one thing we can all agree on is that Sockgloves are a thing and Morgan's ahead of the curve once again. We also agree that this is the best of the prequels, but that's not exactly a bold statement. 
Or a high bar for that matter....

Look, we don't want to be negative nellies, but we only watched this because John said we had to. We're not talking to John anymore...

Somehow we spend more time talking about a film we can't stand than it would have taken to just sit there in sullen silence watching the actual thing. Still we had more fun. 
Morgan's back, the finer points of Yoda get discussed and we try and explain what a moisture farm is. 
So snuggle down and listen to Kahn be grumpy while John and Laura try and find something positive in this unmitigated mess of a movie.

Look, it's not our fault - Kahn hates leaving things on an odd number. So you get a sneaky extra bonus episode that's four times longer than the thing we talked over. 
But at least we remembered to vote for our favourite Doctor. 
Oh, and don't worry, we've put the episode you need on our Facebook page. 

Can this really be it? Is this really the end? A mere 17 months ago we sat down to have a bit of fun and a wee drinkie. 
Many alcohols and much episodes later, we come to the end of all that we know and love. There's an old Doctor, a new one, Rusty, twice the number of Tardises (Tardi?) and THAT SPEECH. 
Grab the tissues and press play when we say. There won't be a dry seat in the house. 

And so we near the end, and what an end it's going to be. We have Missy, The Master, Bill as we've never seen her before..... It's going to be emotional. 
So settle in, dear listener, and join us as we prepare to say farewell to all we've known and loved. 

As we saunter casually towards regeneration time, the Unsalted Popcorn crew gather to talk over World Enough And Tome, one of the most annoying titles of the modern era. There will be tears, there will be laughter, there will be obscure parallels drawn with an episode of Power Rangers and Laura does a football joke. 
So, as ever, get comfy and press play when we say....

What started out as four people watching the final part of the "so-called" Monk trilogy descends into Morgan's love of a cake-based snack before you can so much as blink. But somehow we manage to turn it around and talk about Doctor Who stuff if not the actual episode that's on our screens. 

And so we reach the midway point of what some people are calling a trilogy, and we are tackling the big issues this week – will John notice we've started? Does Kahn actually exist? What if The Doctor appeared in an episode of Monkey? Does Laura have OBS? Is Morgan Mary Poppins?
As ever, press play when we say and let us talk you through Pyramid At The End of the World.

And so we embark on what some are calling The Monks Trilogy, and for added fun this episode is a race against time as someone realised a bit too late that they had to be somewhere else in less than an hour.
Did they make it? Did we cut the episode short? Only one way to find out....

A special episode even by our standards as we concern ourselves with a Skype thingie you can't see and an entire season of Doctor Who we aren't even watching. We do take the time to discuss Nardole, but might possibly kill off Rory in the process. 
Hey ho, them's the breaks....

And so we reach the beginning of the end of Peter Capaldi's time in the Tardis – but at least we have Bill along for the ride. Your Unsalted Popcorn regulars are so excited they forget to talk about other things like Garbage's new album and Laura gets a thing wrong. 
We're still recovering from that one.

After a brief break, the Directionless Commentary crew are back and it's time to check out The Husbands Of River Song. A classic, a favourite and one we – in our own fine style – talk over so you don't have to. 
Sit back, pour a drink, press play when we say and watch with us....

Don't worry, this is definitely a Doctor Who episode. Possibly one of the best ever. And not a cat or Corden in sight. We've even brought crackers, and we answer Katy's questions. Who says we don't look after our listener?
As ever, press play when we say and join our Directionless Commentary experts as we join The Doctor in that place....

And so, from the worst Doctor Who episode ever, we fly into the best story Clara ever did. Is it that good? Or is it just good because last week's was so terrible? 
Listen along to find out the answer....

Ever notice the issues with found footage stories? We have. Which is handy as there's not a lot else to talk about with this episode. So we burble on and on and pray for it all to end.....
Listening to this will be more fun than watching the episode, that's for sure. 
Sadly, watching it is kinda the thing with these podcasts. Sorry about that.
