Riley and Grams react to the latest Doctor Who episodes, as well as other TV shows and movies.
Episodes

It’s All Good, Man
We watched “Better Call Saul” season 5 after we lost the recording we did about seasons 3 and 4. We talk about all three seasons and where we leave Kim, Mike, Nacho, Howard, and Saul at the end of season 5. Next stop, Breaking Bad and any movies we both watch and enjoy (but not ‘Cocaine Bear’,...
-
People Who Live In Glass Onions
We watched ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ on January 13, 2023. We briefly meander through the movie and speculate on why it was called “A Knives Out Mystery” instead of “A Benoit Blanc Mystery” plus our usual random nonsense. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions at [email protected]....

Grams’ Garret 2 - The Fool’s Christmas
With Riley out sick, Grams spends a cold afternoon in the garret reading Christmas stories. This one, by Florence May Alt, was published in The St. Nicholas Christmas Book in 1899. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions at [email protected]. Join our Facebook group! We React Podcast Tweet us...
-
Saulfoolery
We watched the first two seasons of Better Call Saul in October and November 2022. We may be a little late to this party, but we’re both really enjoying this standout show. We’ll react again after we’ve finished the next two seasons. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions at…

Deep In the Heart of Lower Decks
We watched all of season 3 of Star Trek: Lower Decks in fall 2022. We enjoyed the character arcs, mysteries solved, and all the California cities’ victory over Ohio - I mean Texas. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions at [email protected]. Join our Facebook group! We React Podcast Tweet us...
-
Total Darkness
We watched the 1967 psychological thriller film “Wait Until Dark” in October 2022. We discussed the choice of Audrey Hepburn to play a blind woman; the Roach’s choice to go all in with disguises; and how the whole thing could have been avoided if it weren’t for the bratty neighbor girl. We will...
-
Get Ready For the Big Day!
We watched the British series “Don’t Hug Me .I’m Scared” in summer and September 2022. This is a dark comedy absurdist nonsensical show that parodies but also explores the ideas of young children’s shows, defying all expectations. So clear your mind and prepare yourself to not be ready for what...
-
Not Your Typical Horror Movie
We watched the new Jordan Peele movie “Nope” in August 2022. We talk a bit about the horror elements and our favorite characters and come to the conclusion that balloons and animals don’t mix. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions at [email protected]. Join our Facebook group! We React...
-
A Family Movie
We watched the Jordan Peele movie “Get Out” in August 2022. We all learn some valuable lessons from this heartwarming family thriller, such as the importance of heeding the advice of someone who tells you to GET OUT! Also, smoking is bad. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions at...
-
Sort Of Sad, Sort Of Funny
We watched the HBO original series “Sort Of” in July 2022. We didn’t realize until episode 7 or 8 that the show is set in Toronto; it could just as easily be a U.S. city. If you’re still on the fence about watching this show, it just won Best Comedy Series (Canadian Screen Awards), Bilal Baig won...
-
Knives Out the House
We watched the 2019 movie “Knives Out” in June 2022. With an all-star cast and some sharp decor, this mystery has more twists and turns than devious family members. Christopher Plummer plays expertly, Chris Evans rocks a sweater, Daniel Craig’s accent is ridiculous, and Ana de Armas wins the day…
more -
We Stan Russell
We watched the season finale of Doctor Who (series 4) some time ago. We appreciate RTD’s ability to write a smashing big finale and look forward to all the potential that comes with RTD as the showrunner again in the future. Rose gets everything she wants, Donna gets to be brilliant before her...
-
We Need to Talk About Invincible
We watched the first season of the Amazon Prime series “Invincible” in spring 2022. This is an animated series based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman of The Walking Dead fame, with several characters voiced by Walking Dead alums. We enjoyed this series despite, or perhaps because of, the…
more -
The Episode of the Podcast about The Woman - Okay, Okay
We watched the Netflix original series “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window” in April 2022 . This is a darkly humorous parody of mystery psychological thrillers which co-stars the incomparable Kristen Bell and a VERY full glass of red wine. In case you can’t tell,...
-
Space Brooklyn Arrested
We watched the first three episodes of Space Force, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Arrested Development in March 2022 for entertainment purposes only. Can you guess which show was whose favorite? Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for a 13-year old) at [email protected]....
-
Something Funny
We watched the first three episodes of ‘Community’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek’ for some lighter, more fun content, inspired by our rewatch of season 1 (and the end of season 4) of ‘The Good Place’. Schitt’s Creek was the clear winner, but Grams is willing to give Community a chance with some more...
-
After Midnight, Turn Left
We watched two more episodes of Doctor Who (series 4), “Midnight” and “Turn Left” in January 2022. We finally got to talk about the darkest doctor-heavy and saddest companion-heavy episodes. Plus, Rose again! We’re far from ready to say goodbye to the tenth Doctor and Donna. Leave a comment! Or,...
-
Time Lord Collars
We finally finished watching the last five episodes of Doctor Who (series 12) in January 2022. We talk very little about microplastics and detachable fingers, and we have somewhat more to say about the haunting of (not that house), the Shelleys, an overly emotional Cyberman, and the Master. Leave…
more -
The Haunting Sadness of Hill House
We watched “The Haunting of Hill House” in late December 2021. This is our third Mike Flanagan series and might be our favorite. It is a captivating and, indeed, haunting show. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for a 13-year old) at [email protected]. Join our...
-
Perfectly Splendid
We watched all nine episodes of “The Haunting of Bly Manor” over one weekend in December 2021. This is more of a gothic romance than a horror show, with some really great performances from T’Nia Miller and Rahul Kohli that win our hearts and minds. We digress a bit in the middle and trail off at...
-
She’s No Angel
We watched the Netflix limited series “Midnight Mass,” which is a supernatural horror series created and directed by Mike Flanagan. We loved the thought-provoking, dialogue- and monologue-heavy story and powerful performances by all the main actors. It’s well worth the investment of 14 or so…
more -
Hello, River -- Goodbye, River
We watched the next two-part episodes “Silence in the Library” & “Forest of the Dead” of Doctor Who series 4 (2008) and shared our enjoyment of Donna, Anita, River and the Doctor in this intense and intimate adventure. These episodes might be the pinnacle of Steven Moffat’s outstanding writing,...
-
Her Name Is Beckett Mariner
We watched the first seven episodes of season 2 of Star Trek: Lower Decks and talked about them on Saturday, September 25, 2021. We’ve been enjoying this animated series of Star Trek, which is certainly not a children’s show. There are so many good episodes this season, it’s impossible to pick a...
-
The Owl Shack Is a Little Old Place Where
We watched season 1 and the first 10 episodes of season 2 of ‘The Owl House’ on Disney +. It’s a charming animated fantasy series created by Dana Terrace, who previously worked on Gravity Falls and Duck Tales. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for a 12-year old) at...
-
Donna, a Unicorn, and a Wasp Walk Into Agatha Christie’s House
We watched the next episode of Doctor Who series 4 (2008), “The Unicorn and the Wasp,” on September 11, 2021. This is a fun romp where Donna and the 10th Doctor get to do some flapping, admire Agatha Christie’s mind, and help solve not one, but two, mysteries. Leave a comment! Or, send us...
-
A Quieter Place
We watched A Quiet Place Part II on July 30, 2021. Does it hold up as a sequel? Do the remaining Abbots survive? Does the alien get an earful? Listen and find out! Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for a 12-year old) at [email protected]. Join our Facebook group!…

No Naked People Were Harmed
We continue with the fourth episode of Star Trek (the original series), “The Naked Time.” Despite the episode title, there were no naked people, though we did get treated to a shirtless Sulu, and everyone was very sweaty. Kirk loves his ship, O’Riley loves to sing, and the conference room doors...
-
The Big Three
We jump into Star Trek (the original series) with the first three episodes from 1966: “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” “The Man Trap,” and “Charlie X.” We react to the show’s introduction of the big three (Kirk, Spock, and McCoy) and a noticeable pattern in these first three plotlines. Leave a...
-
The Martha Arc
We watched the next three episodes of Doctor Who series 4 (2008), “The Sontaran Stratagem,” “The Poison Sky,” and “The Doctor’s Daughter,” which have Martha temporarily rejoining the 10th Doctor and Donna. The Sontarans are worthy adversaries; Donna’s mom saves the day with an ax; the Doctor has…
more -
Forget the Ood, Remember the Train!
We watched the next episode of Doctor Who series 4 (2008), “Planet of the Ood” with Donna Noble and the 10th Doctor, but we were far more interested in talking about the remaining seasons of Infinity Train and that series as a whole. Which was your favorite season? I mean, how ‘bout those Ood…?...
-
All Aboard the Infinity Train
We watched the first season of Infinity Train, an animated TV series created by Owen Dennis (who also voices Sad-One), currently available on HBO Max. This show has enough complexity to be interesting to adults as well as teens, but was likely cancelled because it didn’t have enough younger...
-
Fat and Fire
We watched the first two episodes of Doctor Who series 4 (2008), “Partners in Crime” and “The Fires of Pompeii” with Donna Noble and the 10th Doctor. Donna waves at fat, learns about fixed points, and generally shows her fabulousness in these two episodes, and the Doctor learns that even when he...
-
Sadness, Hope, and Love
We recap the remaining five episodes of WandaVision and react to the series as a whole. It ended pretty much the way we expected, and we’re looking forward to much more new Marvel content in the future! Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for a 12-year old) at...
-
Wanda’s Disney Vision
We watched the first four episodes of Disney+’s WandaVision on Saturday, January 30, 2021. This is a fun new MCU series that kicks off “phase 4” (whatever that is) with a pseudo-sitcom style that hides its darker layers. The series is currently “airing” weekly on Fridays, to be followed by who...
-
Leftovers of the Daleks
We watched the Doctor Who New Year’s Day special “Revolution of the Daleks” on January 2, 2021. We got two Jacks and too many Daleks in this romp of an episode that had nothing at all to do with New Year’s Day. It did whet our appetite for the next series though, whenever it comes out. Leave a...
-
Judoon Chameleon Watch Jack Ruth
Wow, an extra long episode! We’re back talking about Doctor Who once again, this time covering five episodes at once: series 12’s “Fugitive of the Judoon” plus four episodes from series 3, “Human Nature,” “Family of Blood,” “Blink,” and “Utopia.” Grams wanted those elements in Fugitive of the...
-
Us React
We watched the 2019 Jordan Peele horror film Us on Halloween night, 2020. We first briefly discussed the Twilight Zone episode “Mirror Image” that inspired the premise of the movie; then we launched into a longer discussion that wandered far enough afield to include mentions of Steven King’s…
more -
Hungry for Humans
We watched the season 3 episode of The Twilight Zone, “To Serve Man,” on Sunday, October 11. We forgot to give a spoiler alert for this 58-year-old episode, but it’s available on Hulu. This wasn’t creepy or scary enough for Spooky Sunday, but it did provide some food for thought. (See what I did...
-
The Scary Sense
We watched the 1999 movie “The Sixth Sense” for Spooky Sunday. This supernatural psychological thriller has some genuinely scary moments, outstanding performances by Haley Joel Osment (Cole), Toni Collette (Cole’s mom Lynn), and Bruce Willis (Malcolm), superlative directing by M. Night Shyamalan,...
-
Swabbing the Lower Decks
We watched the first six episodes of the new animated series on CBS All Access, Star Trek: Lower Decks. It’s aimed more towards adults than children, but if you can get on its wavelength, it’s very funny, entertaining, and definitely Star Trek! We also take brief space walks to compare it to...
-
Don't Create Murder Bots
We watched the Doctor Who series 10 episode “Smile” on Sunday, August 2. We didn’t realize we’d never talked about series 10 before. We’ll get around to it eventually. Here’s hoping this episode helps you to keep smiling! Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for an…
more -
Lockes and Keys
We watched season 1 of the Netflix series Locke & Key, a supernatural horror drama based on the comic book series of the same name by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. (Neither of us has read the comic series.) We thoroughly enjoyed watching these episodes together. Grams failed to mention another...
-
Rhino Space Police
We completely forgot our spoiler warning before talking about the first episode of the third series of Doctor Who, “Smith and Jones,” but it is over thirteen years old as it aired in March of 2007. This episode was pretty busy with the introduction of fabulous new companion Martha, a plasmavore...
-
Tribbles Everywhere!
We watched the Star Trek (the Original Series) episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” and the CBS All Access Short Trek “The Trouble with Edward” on Wednesday, April 15. These were possibly the funniest pair of Star Trek episodes in any of the series. Indeed, they were so entertaining, that Riley...
-
Grams' Garret 01 - Good Places and Better People
In this first (and maybe only) episode of Grams’ Garret, Grams talks about The Good Place and the importance of human connection. This was recorded in a different location (the office instead of the living room), so that’s why the audio sounds a bit different. Leave a comment! Or, send us...
-
Riley's Room 01 - One Goosebump
We are not back with We React, but Riley is flying solo in this first episode of Riley’s Room! He read and reacted to the first few pages of a Goosebumps book. Does he have a future in narrating audio books? Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for an 11-year old) at...
-
Joan of Arc-adia
We watched the first two episodes of the 2003 show “Joan of Arcadia” on Wednesday, April 15, 2020. We very briefly referenced the show’s namesake, Joan of Arc, (who?), though there is little resemblance to the modern-day teenage girl who is visited by God in the guise of various random people. We...
-
Nikola and the Doctor
We watched the fourth episode of Doctor Who series 12, “Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror” on Sunday, February 16. We learned that Nikola Tesla conceived of a great many modern inventions, such as alternating current (AC) (not air conditioning), x-rays, remote control, and wireless power. Not the…
more -
No Orphans
We watched the third episode of Doctor Who series 12, “Orphan 55,” five times between us, so you don’t have to. There were a few bright moments among the dregs. :) Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions (that are appropriate for an 11-year old) at [email protected]. Join our Facebook group!…

There Is No Spoon
We watched the 1999 movie “The Matrix” on Friday, February 14 (the perfect Valentine’s Day movie!). This movie holds up after over 20 years! If you take the red pill, you will hear us talk about Trinity, Morpheus, Neo, and most importantly, Agent Smith. Leave a comment! Or, send us suggestions...
