Episode 103: Do Not Steal Employees’ Limbs (The Brain of Morbius)

After over seven months since it was originally recorded, we finally bring you our episode in which we discuss the canon-busting story that The Brain of Morbius! Recorded before our brother Don passed away, we truly believe that this is one of our best episodes to date, featuring some absolutely spectacular conversation, and really does mark a special way for us to come back from a long hiatus.

 

Join us as we talk about our dislikes of the Time Lords, while Don espouses his appreciation for brains in jars, Reilly expresses his affection for Condo (even advocating for a Big Finish Condo spin-off!), Anthony appreciates how theatrical this story is, and Julie develops a true love of the Sisterhood of Karn. Of course, no discussion of this story would be complete without talking about the implications of the Doctor/Morbius mind-battle...
