Pex Lives: A Doctor Who Podcast

Phil Sandifer & Jane Campbell discuss The Witch's Familiar and much more.  

We still exist! And now we're at the watchable, good part of Amicus. James and Holly return triumphantly to talk about Dr. Terror's House of Horrors.

Jane is back on Pex Lives! We kick things off with a chat about The Magician's Apprentice, the just-aired Peter Capaldi opener (which James seems to like more than anyone) then head into a combined fairground twister on Carnival of Monsters and Nightmare of Eden.  Pex Lives is now proud to be a part of Eruditorum Press.  Go to EruditorumPress.com

Phil Sandifer & Jack Graham discuss The Magician's Apprentice and much more.

Here's Shabcast 11, featuring myself in conversation with Phil Sandifer.  This was recorded before Eruditorum Press went live, so events have overtaken it somewhat.  We discuss Doctor Who (before the start of Series 9), Susan, Gareth Roberts, Thomas Ligotti, God, Alan Moore, H.P. Lovecraft, Jimmy Saville, Frank Miller, Vox Day (because Phil just can't help himself), Hegel, Marxism, technological d...

This time, I'm joined by the lovely and incredibly erudite  Gene  Mayes - of various Pex Lives appearances and his own excellent new blog Being and Time Lord - to chat about the Gothic.  We also focus specifically on the movie  A Field in England , Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump's masterpiece of English Civil War-era madness, magic and mushrooms.  There be spoilers here, by the way.  We range pretty fr...

Legendary blogger Phil Sandifer, of www.philsandifer.com, talks to Peter Harness, the writer of series eight's Kill the Moon, about that episode and adapting Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for the BBC.

Don't feel obligated to listen all at once. Enjoy!   G...

Kevin and James spend the first half of this month's episode talking about American fascist comic creator, Frank Miller, and the second half considering the classic Caledonian serial, Terror of the Zygons.  We're Pex Lives and we do this.  Writer Robert Banks Stewart Director Douglas Camfield Script editor Robert Holmes Producer Philip Hinchcliffe

Holly and James talk about the 1963's Just For Fun. They don't like it, but this is some good listening. 

This month, the Shabogan Graffiti podcast is thrilled to play host to the wonderful Holly, of the City of the Dead podcast series (see the tabs on the left), and the Comfortable Bohemian Elegance blog, and loads of other good stuff.  In a twisted, Bizarro World version of Desert Island Discs, Holly and I indulge in a mammoth session (so long I had to split it into two files) of complaining about s...

Holly and James talk about the teen musical comedy from the nascent Amicus productions. 

Holly and James chat to legendary superstar, the lovely Helen Shapiro about her role in the early Amicus film It's Trad, Dad, Richard Lester, the music scene of then and now, and her faith in Jesus.

What bloody man is that?  It's bloody Jack Graham.  Again.  Another Shabcast so soon?  Yes, but don't get used to this kind of schedule.  It's only happening because time is out of joint.  This time, myself and my actorly buddy Elliot Chapman (returning guest from the Macra shabcast, and Big Finish's new Ben Jackson) discuss Shakespeare's great tragedy 'Macbeth', and Shakespeare generally.  We eve...

This is almost as much fun as the serial being discussed.      Writer " David Agnew " (pseudonym for  David Fisher ,  Douglas Adams  and  Graham Williams ) Director Michael Hayes Script editor Douglas Adams Producer Graham Williams

Join me, Josh Marsfelder (of Vaka Rangi) and Jane (of many fames) as we watchalong and chat about the wonderful and neglected 1966 TV production of  Alice in Wonderland , directed by Jonathan Miller. A sweet way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication of the original book.  Very proud of this one.

Here's the exciting pilot episode for a brand new podcast which will cover every film released by Amicus Studios, starting here with proto Amicus film, Horror Hotel aka City of the Dead.    This podcast was recorded before Christopher Lee died.    Enjoy!

The day after learning of the passing of unparalled icon Christopher Lee, Holly B, Jack Graham, and James have a great unplanned, unstructured chat about the man's legendary life and work.

Phil Sandifer talks to Vox Day, the writer and editor behind the Rabid Puppy/Hugo Awards controversy, about the relative merits of John C. Wright's One Bright Star to Guide Them and Iain M. Banks' The Wasp Factory.  You can find Shabcast 6, featuring an afterparty featuring Phil, Jack Graham and your own intrepid Pex Lives hosts here: http://pexlives.libsyn.com/shabcast-6

This Shabcast is an accompaniment to this month's edition of Pex Lives, which features the long-awaited encounter between Phil Sandifer (from off of TARDIS Eruditorum) and 'Vox Day' (from off of fascism and fucking up the Hugo Awards).  Kevin and James have kindly turned the June installment of Pex Lives over to the Sandifer/Vox Day interview, in which Phil quizzes Vox about his attitudes towards...

Pex Lives had a wondeful time talking to the brilliant Holly B. about Moffat for a little while and the classic Troughton serial, the Macra Terror. Download, enjoy, and share! Have you heard? May is Macra Madness Month,

May is Macra Madness Month for both Pex Lives and the S habogan Graffiti Podcast .  Shabcast 5 - a mammoth discussion of lost 60s classic 'The Macra Terror' -  sees  Jack  joined by longstanding online buddy, actor Elliot Chapman, who also happens to have recently been cast by Big Finish as the new Ben Jackson !   Elliot   seems to be on some kind of mission to singlehandedly disprove the old prej...

Normal shabcast service has been resumed after the unplanned emergency  anti-fascist  edition from earlier this month (though you may be hearing more from Phil and myself on the issue of the Hugos and the nazis).  This episode of the Shabogan Graffiti podcast is the long-awaited continuation of my mammoth chat with the lovely Josh Marsfelder, writer of the ridiculously good Vaka Rangi blog.  A sli...
