Ancient Evil, English Villages & the Fifth Doctor: “The Awakening” Review | Earth Station Who

This week on Earth Station Who, the crew heads back to the Fifth Doctor era to review “The Awakening,” a Doctor Who story that proves nothing good ever comes from ancient legends, spooky English villages, or people saying, “It’s only a myth.”

The Awakening mixes history, folklore, and alien mischief as fear itself becomes the ultimate weapon. We break down the story’s atmosphere, themes, and where it lands among Fifth Doctor adventures—plus whether Saxon curses are ever really a good idea.

We’re also excited to welcome back original Earth Station Who co-host Dave West, who bravely takes a seat in the Whovian Geek Seat. Will his Doctor Who knowledge save him… or will he be sacrificed to the ancient evil?

Expect thoughtful discussion, classic Who love, a few laughs, and plenty of timey-wimey fun as we revisit “The Awakening” on Earth Station Who—where legends never stay buried for long.

Don’t You Forget About Me: John Hughes, the Brat Pack & 80s Teen Movie Magic | Tales From Hollywoodland

Dust off your letterman jacket and grab a mixtape, because Tales From Hollywoodland is heading back to the ultimate era of teen movies—the world of John Hughes and the Brat Pack.

This week, we celebrate the films that defined the 1980s, shaped pop culture, and perfectly captured the highs, lows, and awkward brilliance of growing up. From detention at The Breakfast Club to the romantic chaos of Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink, John Hughes gave a voice to teens everywhere—and Hollywood was never the same.

We also dive into the rise of the Brat Pack, spotlighting stars like Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, and Demi Moore, whose films became instant classics and lifelong comfort movies. Whether you were a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal, these movies spoke to all of us.

So press play, sing along to the soundtrack, and join us as we revisit the magic, the legacy, and the unforgettable movies of John Hughes and the Brat Pack—because some films never grow up.
