In this issue: we're down a man, but we still soldier on, just like the Five Doctors... (Does this mean Rodrigo is Tom Baker?) Could the foul-mouthed kid from the Bad News Bears really have a head that's sufficiently gourd-like? We need you to nerd the hell out, then send us pictures... If you don't Stephen will read some of his poetry. Plus: Is it just a coincidence that Corps is one letter from Corpse? Tim Drake wants a speckled lemonade and some bottomless steak fries! And the robot overlord decrees a change in the running order, and you MUSTOBEY ROBOT OVERLORD, or risk being marked as not one with Landru... Please lock your seatbacks and tray tables and return the stewardess to her original upright position, as the major spoilers podcast is on the air.
