Here's something us Basementites don't get to talk about all that often -- podcasts! Which is funny given that we're, you know, a podcast. And fans of Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes will be delighted -- that's right, I said delighted -- to know the characters join forces in a new series of podcasts called Doctor Who: Dark Journey.

For those who care, the Sam Raimi/Robert Tapert produced Poltergeist remake started shooting earlier this week in Toronto . No one cares? OK.
