After a few of the blandest Doctor Who episodes in recent memory we finally got one worth talking about with ‘Fugitive of the Judoon’. Too bad headlines spoiled the biggest surprises for some of us before the show even aired here in the US.

Our usual, slightly salty but good natured jabs at our favorite sci-fi TV series has given way to outright disgust after what might be the worst episode of Doctor Who in a LONG time. While the message might be on point, everything else in Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 3 is a complete miss.It’s not all Doctor bashing, though. We also discuss the possibility of Taika Waititi taking on a Star Wars movie, new details about NBC’s Peacock and HBO Max streaming services, a tale of two Flashes, and the new Sabrina season 3 and Morbius movie trailers.

Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 2 already hit the air so we’re pushing our live Grawlix Nights review of it out before episode 3 hits. We were rather disappointed with the series 12 premiere.

Talking Batman! This episode we review Batman: White Knight, the DC Comics comic book by Sean Murphy. This is an interesting Elseworlds style tale where Joker attempts to flip the tables on Batman by becoming the hero that Gotham needs.
