Today’s not-title title: “The Huskies of the Cat World”. I have an aunt who has a Husky, actually. She’s really cute. The dog. Although, to be fair I guess, I’ve never actually met the dog since she got it after the last time we visited the country. The dog could be a ferocious killer forContinue reading →

UFO really gunning for the Prisoner too with these one word titles. Inevitable has a one word title too, actually. In a way. I mean, Inevitable is a single word, but we have a sub title too. A sub title about this podcast being about this podcast allegedly being about sci fi or something likeContinue reading →

It’s like putting on your old comforting sweater. “I know what a god damn Tesco express is”. These are the fateful words that mark our journey into the depths of 1970’s British television once again. If there are people more well versed, more well studied, in old British sci-fi television than we are and isContinue reading →

If this had a title, it would be “The Illuminati-esque Drawings of a Four Year Old” We have a tendency here at Decorative Vegetable towers to use the suffix “-esque” to describe things. We’ve done it on Trust Your Doctor (“PJ Hammond-esque”) and here on Inevitable (also “PJ Hammond-esque”), and now we do it onceContinue reading →

Warning: this episode is filled with deceit I don’t know what exactly we’re deceiving you about but I know it’s somewhere in this episode. If you end up figuring out what it is, please let me know. Our email address is at the end of the episode, so  just listen until then and you canContinue reading →

I think we should rename ourselves to Podcasting Overlords. Isn’t it weird how the word “lord” is used in a lot of sci-fi? Like Time Lords… Overlords… Lords of Time…. lords… Look this was a way better point when I started this sentence than when I finished it. So you’re just going to have toContinue reading →

Apple still doesn’t like “episode 0.” This season we’re doing Childhood’s End, the classic SyFy tv show. You know, from 2015? The classic! It’s basically already immortalized in the science-fiction canon. I mean, the book certainly is, but probably not the TV show. Yet. Well anyway we also announce that we’re doing UFO as soonContinue reading →

I suppose there are worse things to have on the brain. It’s Eve of the Daleks, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on January 1, 2022 Show-notes: 2:55: For some reason I will take this opportunity to link you to our Heaven Sent episode, over a year ago! 4:00: Not gonna link this. 8:01: JarContinue reading →

And in the end…. The people you kill are equal to the people you save. Or something like that. That’s how the song goes right? Because we’re at the end of another show and I really need to make hip topical references so the kids think I’m cool and stuff. Which means referencing hip coolContinue reading →

Quote of the week: “The whole podcast is a sham held together by dreams.” We’re almost at the end of Season 7 of Inevitable. Inevitable has already outlasted all of the shows we’ve watched on this show. Including Lexx. At least in terms of number of seasons, so take that, Lexx. It’s Objects in Space,Continue reading →

You heard it here first, from the podcast that the show is based on rather than the other way around ™. The end of our first season that we podcasted along with the episodes as they aired. So that’s gotta be something important in our history right? And three episodes from now we’ll basically haveContinue reading →

I don’t have a heart of gold, I have a heart of silver. What is a heart of silver, you ask? Well I’m glad you’re curious because frankly I am too. What the hell does it mean to have a heart of silver? I just kind of made it up on the spot to tryContinue reading →

Trust Your Doctor normally has insane ideas, but this time they’ve gone too far. We’re rapidly closing in on the end of possibly the whirl windiest season of Doctor Who ever written. It’s bizarre, it’s amazing, it’s huge. It’s everything you ever wanted from a Doctor Who story. Or at least, that’s what the boysContinue reading →

I’m sending out an SOS. I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle. Yeah I just quoted a Police song in the podcast description. What are you gonna do about it? That’s right, nothing cuz the version of me that wrote this is long moved past this joke by the time you readContinue reading →

Well, I suppose it was worth a shot trying to get him to take it back. (Editor’s note: No.) We somehow went this entire episode without making a “Children of the Stones” joke. Can you believe that? I can’t believe that. We made a dozen of those jokes while we were watching the episode, soContinue reading →

Something something wish dot com tactical jacket. Look I’ll give it to you straight doc, I don’t know what to write here. I could make a bunch of jokes about trash but Kiyan made most of them in the episode. Ok so did I, I made a bunch of those jokes too. So it seemsContinue reading →

1 step forward, 23597908945832974317590327591375932175 steps back. Have you ever seen that Disney Christmas special, “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas?” I remember owning it on DVD as a kid, but I actually for some reason remember thinking that the sequel, “Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas” was better. I don’t know why I remember this. I’m notContinue r...

If I could have titled this episode, it would have been titled “The Absolution of Jayne Cobb” (Editor’s note: I like “Toiling Down Memory Lane” better.) Once upon a time I fought in a war. I mean, not really. I couldn’t even comprehend what it would be like to fight in a war. I’m actuallyContinue reading →

Come one, come all, come and see the magical flux repellent shields on the Luparian fleet. Flux repellent sounds like some sort of AXE body spray knock off. Did the UK have the phase where every middle schooler ever wore AXE? Cuz we certainly had it over here in the US and some might argueContinue reading →

Yeah, just to confirm, I still think of the font when I read this title. The font is actually spelled totally differently, you know. It’s spelled like Arial, whereas this episode actually is spelled like the name of the little mermaid, Ariel. Just wanted to make sure I put that information out into the world. Continue reading →

Does every culture have a Steve Jobs analogue? This episode, both the TV episode and our podcast episode, are a little bit chaotic. We drop a lot of theories on this episode, amazingly they’re all probably going to be wrong. At the same time, can yo believe that? I can. We’re known for it atContinue reading →

I almost ran out of gas getting to the gas station the other day. So I’m pretty sure I have a 10 gallon tank and somehow the other day I put 10.2 gallons in my car. Either I somehow have a larger tank or I overfilled the car. Or, by some miracle, my car wasContinue reading →

We’re back, again! It hasn’t been that long, just 4 months or so, but we’re finally back. Unlike the actual Doctor Who, we didn’t take a massive like 10 year hiatus. But we’re back to podcast along with Doctor Who: Series 13: Flux. Or whatever the heck they’ve decided to call it. Show-notes: You needContinue reading →

Apparently “Jaynestown” is frequently featured on “wtf is this in Firefly” lists. [Editor’s note: I assume that Dylan assumed that I would add more to this intro. Little did he know that I’m actually going to add nothing to it at all… wait, damn!] It’s Jaynestown, written by Ben Edlund and aired on October 18,Continue reading →

Can you imagine if one of us just showed up to the podcast one day and got married for doing it? Look so once upon a time I’m sitting there and wait a minute I realized I started a description almost exactly the same way already this season on Inevitable. Shoot, I’m losing my touchContinue reading →
