    Doctor Who: Delta and the Bannermen

    ★★½

    Delta and the Bannerman is generally speaking a silly forgettable episode, that has a very confusing plot.

    That being said it’s short length and outrageously brutal villain, Gavrok, makes it a fun time. The juxtaposition of happy holiday homemakers and the spectacle of the brutally dark villain gunning people down is honestly a spectacle unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere.

    There’s definitely some lost commentary of beauty vs evil, but forget that. Just watch the crazy scenes of beloved family comedian Ken Dodd getting horrifyingly shot in the back.

    Just laugh at the silly stuff and enjoy it for what it is.

    ★★★

    Honestly Cold War Indiana Jones is a really cool idea, and when this film is doing classic Indiana jones explorations or Cold War set pieces it’s at its best. Unfortunately there’s just a lot of other wacky stuff dragging down this film that just doesn’t need to be here.

    For example, a set piece in a nuclear test site is a cool idea, but having Indiana Jones survive a nuclear bomb because he gets in lead-lined fridge is just insane.…
