12: It's a Wonderful Life Doctor

It's a Wonderful Life Doctor. Every year geeks gather around their television sets to see what will happen to The Doctor and his companion at the holidays. The Christmas special usually combines elements of well know stories of the season with a sic-fi twist and this year was no different In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Andi VanderKolk to talk about Last Christmas, the 2014 holiday special. We discuss the things we liked about the episode, things we didn't as well as the themes, then reach back to look at season 8 as a whole and what we hope to see in the upcoming season 9 which will again star Peter Capaldi and Jenna Louise Coleman.   Host Matthew Rushing   Guest  Andi VanderKolk   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Norman C.
