Episode 209: Civil War
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 20 minutes and 15 secondsThis is not the show you expected. Cheryl has called in sick, so Daisy is taking over all by her lonesome. Being that there is no Cheryl to talk to and no real Doctor Who news, this is a review of the newly released movie "Captain America: Civil War". Why? Because Daisy just saw it, so why not. The review is mildly spoilery, but no plot or specifics are revealed. Nothing that gives anything away, at least.
