  • A lot of Mental Gymnastics going on here

    Okay, I want to set the record straight. I use to really like your channel Matthew Toff. Between 2010-13, I’d argue that there was no other DW channel that could touch yours. But from 2014-17 I saw a noticeable decline in quality. Including the lack of responses to a couple of messages sent by yours truly. I don’t like being snubbed. But from 2018 onwards, I mean what the hell happened? Now of course, you’ve picked a side in the Culture War and continued to endorse this woke propaganda. But when... more

  • I’ve stopped listening. Maybe you should stop watching?

    I love Doctor Who and used to find this podcast entertaining, but now it’s just two blokes moaning about something they used to enjoy. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life so I’m out. Maybe stop taking people’s money and take a reality check instead, guys!

  • Great Fun

    Really enjoyable podcast. The hosts are funny but know their stuff. I admit I only listen to the classic episodes instalments (loved the Time Flight one 🤣) so more of those please 🙏

    Loses points for the asinine swearing that one of the hosts uses. Nothing worse than a nerd trying to sound hard. Drop that and I would support you on Patreon. Otherwise …👎🏼

    I would lose a point for too much chat about the modern trash but some folk like that. That’s their problem I guess

  • Amazing podcast

    I’ve been a fan of Matt’s work since watching ‘Ship of Death’ which I now realise was almost 20 years ago. You made me the Doctor Who fan I am today so thank you thank you for everything you’ve done. Billy’s pretty good too. Love the pod guys.
