It's hard to believe that the newest season of Doctor Who is over when it feels like it's just started. Ncuti Gatwa's first season as the 15th Doctor is over, but that doesn't stop the excitement that we're feeling about it. From the moment that Gatwa appeared on our screens in the third special to him meeting his companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), so many moments have taken our breath away and left us speechless. We were not speechless, though, as we needed to get together and break it all down in our latest Doctor Who discussion!

Join host Brian Kitson and writers Wiktor Reinfuss and Cameron Brook as they discuss their highs and lows from the most recent batch of episodes, such as the barriers that showrunner Russell T. Davies is breaking down in the long-running sci-fi series, their favorite episodes, and why, and where they think the next season of Doctor Who is headed. Do you think they enjoyed the re-introduction of the Pantheon of Gods? You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out!

It’s been a wonderful yet sad couple of weeks without new episodes of X-Men ‘97, the revival of the animated TV series that introduced many of us to the merry band of mutants. It was a breakout hit, and ushered in new fans to the classic Saturday morning cartoon, that had so many elements of these iconic comic book characters. The interest and popularity dominated conversations weekly as we hurdled towards that shocking 3-part finale. Finale reveals and shockers will have to hold us for a while until we see the second season.

Join host Anthony Flagg (X: redovah_) and his guests Alex Perez (X: alexfromcc) and Uday Kataria (X: GoldenNinja3000) as they navigate the past and present of X-Men ‘97. This episode recounts each person's history with the original series, favorite episodes and characters, and hopes for the future seasons of X-Men ‘97. Insider Alex Perez also provides some hits about what we might expect in season 2 and hints at an answer to one burning question surrounding Jean Grey and Madelyne Pryor.
