We're joined this week by Amy Walker from the Eccentric Earth podcast to talk about one of her favourite movies, the 1986 cult classic from John Carpenter, Big Trouble in Little China!

Thankfully Lo Pan does NOT make an appearance. He's a bit scary, that one.

It's not only about the stories this week, it's about the politics, too. BBC politics, that is. When Colin Baker was cast as the Sixth Doctor, the knives came out, not only for him, but JNT and the whole of Doctor Who as well. This is (part of) the story of how they weathered the storm, and gave Doctor Who a stay of execution, for a while, at least.

It's a big hello to Brad Rhodes from the Transformers YouTube Community this week, as he joins Glenn for a bit of a chat about the various things that he's into from back in the day...until it devolves into a big ol' natter about how much we both love Star Wars.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Leigh and Glenn are travelling to 1982-1984 this week, to examine Peter Davison's time in the TARDIS as the Fifth Doctor. From a crowded time machine, to ultra-violent Cybermen, from a new and deadlier Master to dying companions, this episode covers it all.

Brave heart, gang.

Andy from the Smorgaspod is back this week to have a bit of a natter about Transformers - where the franchise is currently, where it goes from here, and more importantly, where it came from.

Prepare from some retro robotage from 1980-something, as we talk about our favourite robbits in disguise!

An old friend descends on BTTE Towers today, as our old mate Phil stops by for a visit, to get us all up to speed on what the various superhero cinematic universes are doing, and let's face it, to get all excited about Infinity War and Deadpool 2.
