The only thing I know about Boku No Hero Academia is that you have to be very careful googling it.

Heck, judging by that pic, he could easily have played The Doctor.

I think the Wilhelm Scream is sci-fi's Wilhelm Scream.

Forktoss: Feb 13, 2012; I'm OK, you're so-so

I love the story of David Tennant calling Wendy Padbury's agency when he was starting out and looking for representation, and when he realised who he was talking to he went all OH MY GOD YOURE ZOE FROM DOCTOR WHO :byodood:

and she just hung up on him :laugh:

Janet Fielding becoming an agent and her first phone call was "We'd like to talk about hiring Paul McGann to star in a Doctor Who movie."

Also the first job Janet Fielding got for anybody (I think) as an Agent was Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor? And after she took the call she hung up and shouted,"Can't I ever get away from this loving show?" :haw:

I got as far as Zagraius and the start of the Divergent universe before I hit the end of what's free on Spotify from main range. Now I have to pay money and I'm extremely cheap

At least I still have Master and Davros left! I skipped Flip Flop though, just from what little I've heard I feel like my brain would eat itself trying to get to the end of both discs.

A post for way back but thanks for this, I never knew some of them were free on spotify. I haven't listened to them in ages.

People constantly harp on about how uniquely GRITTY and VIOLENT the Tom Baker era was and seem to deliberately ignore how much humour there was in a lot of those scripts.
