NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 216: "Resurrection of the Daleks" Is Up!

 
"You want to stay on Earth?"
"My Aunt Vanessa said, when I became an air stewardess, if you stop enjoying it, give it up."
"Tegan..."
"It's stopped being fun, Doctor.  Goodbye."
-- The Fifth Doctor and Tegan Jovanka, Doctor Who: "Resurrection of the Daleks"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  In this episode, we're joined by special guest companion Xan Sprouse to discuss "Resurrection of the Daleks", the fourth serial from Doctor Who Season 21 in 1984, featuring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough, Terry Molloy as Davros, and the departure of Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka!

In this episode, Jesse, Xan and I discuss things like Jesse engaging in Revenge Podcasting, Tegan being the first of the mass exit to leave before the Colin Baker era, Xan watching this story at the Grandview Theater in Columbus, this story being the first one in the modern 45-minute episode format, Peter Grimwade originally directing the story before John Nathan-Turner became slighted by not being invited out to a production dinner, Michael Wisher being replaced as Davros by Terry Molloy, Xan being sidetracked by a Fifth Doctor fantasy, "Resurrection of the Daleks" being the opening salvo in the Time War, the Doctor's intense hatred of the Daleks, Davros being great at pushing the Doctor's buttons, the Doctor's regret for not destroying the Daleks in "Genesis of the Daleks", Tegan's departure compared to Ben and Polly's departures, Tegan's departure reminding the Doctor of why he originally left Gallifrey, the missed opportunity of exploring the Fifth Doctor's darker side, male companions being sidekicks to the female companions, Lytton being recruited by the Daleks to spring Davros from Space Jail, the dorky Dalek helmets to make Lytton and his men to look more like Daleks, JNT not being innovative with more limited budgets, Styles pulling a Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon, the Daleks and the Movellans stalemating each other in their war, two Daleks being used over and over to look like a bunch of Daleks, Davros falling victim to the Movellan Virus, Davros as Donald Trump, our favorite quotes of the episode, new feedback from Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, trying to get Xan to check out WandaVision, Rachel joining us for the entire "Trial of a Time Lord", and more!
