Thanksgiving with Pinocchio In Outer Space
Q: What makes this film stand out as a piece of lost media?

Thanksgiving with Pinocchio In Outer Space
Q: How did you first come to Pinocchio In Outer Space, and why does it stick with you?
The guest describes discovering the film during Thanksgiving weekend on local UHF stations, remembering the mix of wonder and unease in the animation, and how the title itself sparked a vivid memory that persisted even after decades and a later search to confirm its existence.
Nu Year, Nu Who: Part 1 (Wibbly Edition)

Q: How did you become a fan of Doctor Who?
Melissa explains starting in 2005, catching the show on CBC, and becoming a fan through the reboot, which led to a deep knowledge of episode minutiae and a lasting connection to the Doctor's world.
