Episode 129: Hairy Rolling Balls (The Creature from the Pit)

In this episode of the podcast, we demonstrate what utter masochists we are by subjecting ourselves to the absolute mess that is The Creature from the Pit. Oh boy. We’re just going to say it up front. We hated it. There you go. That’s the potted review, right here in the blurb. But to hear just how frustrated and annoyed we get at this story, go ahead and listen to the podcast episode. We promise that it’s quite an enjoyable show.

 

Join us as we discuss whether the story actively knows how stupid it is, the presence of dominatrixes, the function of the larynx, the return of a legendary actress first seen in the original Doctor Who serial, how the design of the story is somehow obsessed with male genitalia, and how con artists eventually start believing their own nonsense. This story infuriates Anthony so much that he gets quite, quite sweary…
