You mean every week's Wurster call? I'm only asking because I assume you already know about Best Show Bests, which is 90% Wurster.

I recently heard a guest on that quirky NPR game show energetically tell the audience about how he's a textbook introvert.
One of the saddest days of my life* was when I finally admitted that I'd never catch up on my Best Show backlog and deleted like nine months worth of episodes and just started over with the newest episode.
Right now YMRT has a status of "not going to admit that I'm probably done with it; currently letting episodes stockpile with the vague idea I'll get to them one day." Soon I'm sure it will move on to "finally admitting to myself that I'm never going to listen to any of these ever."
That lady who started it? Her husband made fun of him at a dinner once.
If I could just get into Jesus, Bollywood, and/or opera, my weekend movie options would expand significantly. Instead, I'm into dumb old arthouse films, and my suburban theater never gets any of those.
"You fools, can't you see that this is exactly what he wants you to be talking about right now? Another 'gaffe' that will get everyone laughing at him so they don't notice what he's really up to!"
Trump is from the timeline where the time travel agents didn't assassinate Jackson before the Civil War.
There was a great line in this week's Doctor Who: "I don't know the answer. Only idiots know the answers.”
Why is she wearing a one-piece swimsuit and chinos?
Is “Fly Into A Rage, Make A Bad Landing” a reference to something that happened in the episode? I don't watch the show any more but lurk in the reviews out of affection for the characters, and the title's awkwardness caught my eye. I googled it, assuming it was a lyric, but I can't find anything other than this…
I try really hard to never post anything on here that could be read as bodyshaming, but GODDAMN I find Tom Ellis-as-Lucifer hard to even look at. He's like the Uncanny Valley made flesh. He looks like the cover of a Goosebumps book.
(Also, though it wasn't a part of this speech, "Only idiots know the answer" is an all-time great Doctor Who line.)
It honestly choked me up. I know that Gallifrey hasn't had the best PR in the new series, but his speech truly made him feel like the product of a better, more advanced culture. The idea that a society should only judge itself based on how much it values the life of all its members is something everyone desperately…
I was thinking of when The Master caused the Doctor to age 100 years and turn into Dobby, but on further reflection that's probably an edge case since it wasn't natural aging. (Same with the Fourth Doctor in "The Leisure Hive.")
Lord Dickhead getting eaten by the river monster he'd been exploiting was the only acceptable ending. It was right out of Joseph Campbell.
I know it's completely improbable, and I don't even know how they'd pull it off narratively, but I'm hoping that there's some sort of Moffat / Chibnall long game going on where Pearl Mackie IS the next Doctor.
Is there a canon reason why he hasn't physically aged? Both Tennant and Smith were shown aging over long periods of time. Or is this just a Doctor Who thing you shouldn't think about too much?
I want to call out three Capaldi micro-performances:
I really wish they wouldn't announce these things until there was an actual list of participating theaters…
