Once again, Chris and Eddy dive into the Patreon-exclusive vault to give you even more Doctor Who discussion. Here's part two of Power of the Doctor!

What's this? Chris and Eddy pull a former Patreon-exclusive episode out of the archive to give you even more Doctor Who discussion! And it was so long it's been cut into two episodes. So here's part one of Power of the Doctor!

Chris and Eddy finish up their tour of the Eighth Doctor with the surprisingly mediocre The Silver Turk.

Chris and Eddy talk about the period of Doctor Who where there was no Doctor Who, the Wilderness Years of 1989 to 2005. This is a different episode than what we usually do on Genreless. This time we ended up fast-winding through a lot of media. But we did cover "Curse of the Fatal Death" in detail, which you can find on YouTube.

Chris and Eddy take a break from usual proceedings to talk about Transformers the Movie (the 1986 one) with none other than MIKE FREAKIN' PONDSMITH... ahem... we mean, Mike Pondsmith, creator of the Cyberpunk franchise and massive Transformers collector and fan. Note: This episode was originally recorded as a Patreon exclusive. However, we were so excited we decided to release the interview with Mike as a regular episode.
