  • HoM: Doctor Who - "Joy to the World" & More
    Jan 19 2025

    Series 1, Episode X/Pilot - "Yeah. You and me. Letting people get on with their lives. For Auld Lang Syne."

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of Hit or Miss: Doctor Who! Hosts Michael Wilson and D.K. take a TARDIS ride through the Whoniverse with guests Tobi (beaming in from Germany) and George White (from Pasty Sheep). We kick off with a lively chat about everyone's gateway into Doctor Who, a few personal favorite episodes, and the wallet-draining reality of being a physical media collector in the age of Blu-ray box sets and collector’s editions. Then, we bring our signature Hit or Miss segment into the world of the Time Lord! From revisiting a past Christmas Special to debating a lost classic and a newly returned foe, we geek out over the good, the bad, and the timey-wimey. Finally, it’s time for the main event: a full breakdown and review of the latest episode to grace our screens—the 2024 Christmas Special, Joy to the World. Expect deep dives, spirited debates, and maybe a bit of festive cheer as we decide if it’s a holiday hit or a Christmas catastrophe. Grab your sonic screwdriver, put on your best scarf, and join us for an adventure that’s bigger on the inside. Geronimo!

  • SSP Cult Classics 31 - Escape From New York Review
    Jan 7 2025

    D.K's Cult Classics Episode 31 - "Get a New President"

    Silver Screen Cult returns for its third season with another Carpenter Classic: 1981's 'Escape From New York'. So sit back, relax and join DK and his guests, Nick the editor and author Paul Kane as they discuss a crumbling US, a population gone crazy, and a morally dubious POTUS. Though in their timeline they at least have Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, so... who's the winner, here, really...?

  • HoM: Star Trek Podcast - STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER Review & More
    Jan 5 2025

    Series 6, Episode 7/Finale - "It's kinda grown on me. Like a fungus does."

    Happy New Year fellow geeks and podcast fans. Welcome, or indeed welcome back, to the newly christened Hit or Miss: Who Trek channel, on the Media Matters podcast network. Don't worry, despite the changes around here we're stepping back into familiar territory for a bit of unfinished business from 2024. That's right, we're back in 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek' territory in this slightly delayed but highly anticipated finale to our series on controversial or divisive Trek stories. Hosts Mike and D.K. are boldly going where few fans dare to revisit! With pre-recorded input by special guest Jeremy Duncan, we dive into the campy chaos of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Is it a misunderstood gem, a misguided misfire, or something in between? From the infamous “God” question to Spock’s jet boots, we explore the good, the bad, and the fan dance. Expect deep discussions, sharp critiques, and a fair share of laughs as we wrap up this epic series in style. After all, we know this podcast like the back of our hands. So grab your marshmelons and join us for the ultimate voyage beyond the final frontier!
