  • Doctor Who is Cancelled
    Jun 15 2026

    The biggest bombshell in modern sci-fi history just dropped, and Journeys in Fandom is back for an emergency broadcast to unpack the wreckage. The BBC has officially announced that Russell T Davies is out, the rumored Christmas special was a complete fabrication, and the entire future of Doctor Who is being put out to competitive tender after the Disney co-production deal collapsed.

    In this episode, we dive deep into the financial death spiral of the series, from the complete lack of merchandise to the massive decline in license fee funding. We track the downward trajectory of the show since the 50th anniversary, explain why streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon passed on the poison chalice, and discuss why the flashy Disney budget actually ruined the core British charm of the show. Plus, we react to the latest tone-deaf hot takes from the mainstream media media outlets, and pitch our own completely unhinged, budget-friendly blueprint to save the show for the 70th anniversary in 2033.

    Could the franchise actually be saved by a radical American writing-room model, or is it time for Doctor Who to go away for a decade to let the dust settle?

  • Wrestlemania 42 Review: Corporate Slop
    May 2 2026

    It feels like forever, but we are back for a special Wrestlemania 42 review. We went into this weekend with high expectations, but we left feeling like the product has become more about selling advertisements than telling stories. In this video, we provide our completely honest and critical analysis of both Night 1 and Night 2.

    We dive deep into the matches that worked, like Gunther versus Seth Rollins, and the ones that fell completely flat. We also discuss the major news of the weekend, including the massive roster releases and the rumors of a Saudi takeover. If you are tired of the polished corporate version of wrestling and want an authentic perspective, this is the video for you.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The overwhelming amount of adverts and corporate influence in the ring
    • Brock Lesnar putting over Oba Femi and his emotional retirement
    • Why Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton felt overshadowed by Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll
    • The return of Paige and our thoughts on the women's tag team division
    • Our honest scores for Night 1 and Night 2
    • The state of the UK wrestling scene and the cancellation of LCC
    • Roster releases and what the TKO era actually means for the fans

    This is our authentic take on the biggest weekend in wrestling. We want to hear from you. Did you love the spectacle, or do you agree that the "corporate slop" is taking over?

  • Doctor Who: The War between the Land and the Sea Review
    Jan 18 2026

    Welcome back to Journeys in Fandom as we kick off 2026 by catching up on the long awaited Doctor Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea. After a bit of a hiatus, we are diving deep into this five part series to see if the Disney deal budget actually translated to a quality story. We look at the return of Russell Tovey and the evolution of the Homo Aqua, though we have some thoughts on how the "Sea Devils" name change was handled.

    The chemistry between Salt and Barkley was a highlight, but we cannot ignore the logic gaps that started appearing toward the finale. From the confusing tech levels of Unit to the missed emotional weight of the "virus" twist, it felt like a story that desperately needed two more episodes to breathe. We also discuss Kate Lethbridge-Stewart’s darker turn and whether the 14th Doctor is still just sitting in Donna's garden while the world almost ends.
