Welcome to another episode of Who Virgin, our weekly podcast chronicling my journey into Doctor Who for this first time. This week we finish off Series 1 and talk about all the trailer goodness we’ve had.
Next week, Rebecca Frost will hopefully join us, and we’ll review Avengers 2: Age of Ultron!

We get confused and think this is episode 6 instead of 7 and make Star Wars references and do Emperor Palpatine impressions.
The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances – Captain Jack Harkness is chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. How to manipulative b-list celebrities on social media. The Blitz. We talk for a long time about abortion. Seriously. A lot about abortion. The kids who stare at Mark.
Boom Town – The return of farting aliens. Breakfast of Champions. Nuclear power. The dinner scene. Second chances. The death penalty.
Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways – Reality TV will destroy humanity. The Weakest Link? Seriously? Blasphemy! Why a Bad Wolf?
Eccleston post-mortem: Mark likes Eccleston more than Tennant. Is his northern accent too much? British regional accents. Dan le Sac vs. Scroobious Pip. Eccleston’s “creative differences.”
Disney XD showing Doctor Who reruns. We want the Doctor at EPCOT.
TRAILERS!!! Man tears from “Chewie, we’re home.” Ant-Man. We only know actors by the parts they play. Congressman Pete Russo from “House of Cards” and Kate from “Lost” are in Ant-Man. Andy loves Scott Lang. THAT TRAIN.
“Terminator” has too many spoilers. Fool me three times? Jai Courtney. Quick review of “The Water Diviner.” Kyle Reese is just a sperm donor. Helena Bonham Carter will have to show up at least three times to explain the plot.
“Fantastic Four” – Andy watches it live for the first time. Differing views of Chronicle. There’s a lot of Freddy the Barbecue Guy from House of Cards.
THE FORCE AWAKENS!!! So much awesome. Oscar Isaac might be Andy’s new favorite actor. “Ex Machina” review– it’s all sorts of amazing. Battlefront trailer– We need to get next gen consoles. Boba Fett lives? The Good, The Bad, and the Fett? “Rebels” trailer. Old Rex. Rogue One. Young Porkins?
Batman v Superman: we have a Marvel vs. DC throwdown and lovefest. Frank Miller really hates Superman. Why Andy loves Superman. Daredevil. The sharp edge of justice. Superman is the America we want to be, Batman is the America we are. Hey, Warner Bros– hire us!
We’re spoiled by awesome movies. What were the worst 80’s and 90’s comic book movies?
