Episode 89: “Voyage Of The Damned” and “Last Christmas”

We open with some thoughts on the upcoming Christmas special and how we’re feeling a couple weeks out. Then we discuss a pair of earlier yuletide episodes, one of which is just so deeply silly and the other is one of the best things the show has ever done. Try to guess which! We won’t keep you in suspense very long, to be fair. “Voyage Of The Damned” has a hugely overqualified cast, if nothing else, and yes that includes the charisma factory that is Kylie Minogue. And “Last Christmas” is just generally excellent in all directions, giving us another opportunity to give Jenna Coleman some appreciation, among many other things to praise. Then join us next week as we go all-in on regeneration stories and focus our entire attention solely on one of the most divisive episodes in new series history: “Time Of The Doctor.”
