Guy & Ron
We watch classic Doctor Who, The Prisoner, and other old TV shows and movies to determine if they're still worth watching for a modern audience.

Doctor Who 34: Marco Polo (season 1 story), part 1
We've pulled the emergency break and gone into reverse -- we're going back and covering the missing stories that we didn't watch the first time, starting with the tragically lost Marco Polo from the first season.

Doctor Who 33: The Dalek's Master Plan part 3
We come to the end of this epic story, and we've got some interesting (and different from each other!) reactions to how it goes. Do the Daleks have a brilliant master plan when it comes down to it? Does Mavic Chen need therapy? Is a character a companion if they're only in one story? So many things answered in this episode! Twitter: @WorthWatching4 Facebook

Doctor Who 32: Dalek's Master Plan, part 2
This week includes one of the weirdest Doctor Who episodes of all time -- including a cameo by Charlie Chaplin and a very British Christmas! And the return of a favorite villain we really weren't expecting. Plus some praise and bitching about reconstructions...this one has it all! Twitter: @WorthWatching4 Facebook

Doctor Who 31: The Dalek's Master Plan part 1
Our second reconstruction is one of the longer Doctor Who stories ever. We're really enjoying this journey into reconstructions, and there are some surprising twists in the first 1/3 of this story (including the shocking reveal that the Daleks are not the most trustworthy partners in crime). This podcast endorses the Mavic Chen/Sarah Kingdom ticket for rulers of the universe! Twitter: @WorthWatching4 Facebook

Doctor Who 30: The Myth Makers
Our first real Doctor Who reconstruction! Doctor Who does the Trojan Horse. We both really enjoyed this story: Well-written, clever and funny. You don't need to hunt down reconstructions in shady corners of the internet, we've done it for you, and you can experience the story along with some bad jokes and witty observations. After going through the story proper, we do a deep dive into the mythology and how the writers played with it. Given it a listen, you'll learn something! Twitter: @WorthWatching4 Facebook

Doctor Who 29: Mission to the Unknown
Our first (sort of) Doctor Who reconstruction! This is a one-episode story that doesn't have the Doctor or the crew in it, and which is a missing story. So a couple of years ago the University of Central Lancashire's film department did a recreation, using the same methods as were done back in the day. This is also a prequel to an upcoming 12-episode epic story, so required viewing for any classic Doctor Who fan. What did we think of the story and the recreation? Only one way to find out!

Doctor Who 28: Galaxy 4
Finally we get back to our core mission, watching ancient Doctor Who stories! This is an animated reconstruction of a completely missing story, and there are many non-animated missing stories coming up, which results in us debating whether we should start watching photo-based reconstructions, even though Ron has sworn he never will. As it turns out this was the start of a discussion that has some surprising twists that will be revealed over time... Meanwhile, check out this 60+ year old story that predicted Maga and gender issues in our current times! Twitter: @WorthWatching4 Facebook

Rage 17: Office Space
And so our season of Rage comes to an end with the one movie where the characters actually rage against an actual machine! This felt like the perfect way to end it, and we have some interesting theories about the film... Check it out, and feel free to take some cake but don't eat the guacamole!

Rage 16: Kill Bill discussion with Sarah Rose Siskind and Andrew Heaton
