The Dr. Ted Podcast

Dr. Ted explains why there hasn't been a Podcast in over a year, and speculates about his Podcasting future. He tries to keep things upbeat but fails miserably.

Just in time for Halloween, Shayne and I discuss the intersections between Horror and Sci-Fi and the common origins of the two sub-genres. We talk about both fictional and real-life boogeymen, including the incredibly terrifying Curse of the Technical Difficulties that caused us to lose 30 minutes worth of Podcast.

Shayne and I discuss fan expectations in movies and video games. What obligations do creators have to their fans/customers, and conversely, when do fan expectations become unreasonable? Dr. Ted also reviews the creative and bizarre anti-adventure game Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor (SundaeMonth).

Ted goes on a rambly rant-o-thon today, throwing caution (and the script) to the wind. In the absence of any sort of preparation, good sense, or editing, he revisits No Man's Sky (Hello Games) and discusses the recent discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri.

Shayne is back once again to give a post-mortem on the summer blockbusters and not-so-blockbusters. In video games, I rant about Pokemon Go (Niantic) and review the much-anticipated No Man's Sky (Hello Games). And we say our farewells to, and reminisce about, The Tragically Hip and their final performance in Kingston, Ontario.
