Instead of constantly bashing our heads against our laptops over why Superhero, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, Action, and Animation largely get ignored during awards season, why not create an award that recognizes the excellence in those specific genres? That exactly what the Critics Choice Association (CCA) did, with the inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards set to […]

Last week saw the release of the first episode in the Doctor Who "Time Lord Victorious" crossover animated series Daleks!, with the Doctor's sworn arch-enemies facing something they've rarely faced before (aside from the Doctor): an enemy that could wipe them from existence.

Leave it to Doctor Who to always find a way to work a little magic on us when we least expect it, pulling a sleight-of-hand by distracting us with when "Revolution of the Daleks" will air this holiday season with news that Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, and the gang are now filming Series 13, with […]
For decades, British TV and radio panel shows managed with completely white, and often mostly male, participants. BBC Radio 4 is recording Bameshow, a new panel game twists that the other way.

Every now and then, we pick a Doctor Who story that we feel represents that particular Doctor best of all. It's not necessarily the best of that Doctor's run, just the one that sums up that Doctor's era and the show best. This week, we pick the quintessential 10th Doctor story, "The Girl in the […]

This is a pleasant surprise. BBC Radio 4 premiered Franklin, a dramatization of that moment in 1968 when Charles M. Schulz chose to introduce a black character to the Peanuts comic strip in light of Martin Luther King's Assassination and the Civil Riots riots.
