It's regenerations galore in this week's TV-focused episode of the Showcase! With the news that Matt Smith will leave Doctor Who at the end of this year, the question arises, who will be the twelfth Doctor? And will he finally be ginger? Meanwhile, Smith's former companion Karen Gillan is regenerating into a villain in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. In a shocking move, fired Community showrunner Dan Harmon is regenerating back into the show for season five! And how does the new NetFlix regeneration of Arrested Development stack up to the old stuff? Also this week, we talk about DC's "Villain's Month," and in the picks Blake is digging Rocket Queen and the Wrench and Hope Larsen's graphic novel adaptation of the classic children's novel A Wrinkle in Time.

Kenny makes his triumphant and long-awaited return to the microphone this week, as he and Blake get into some recent TV and movie madness. In highly spoilery fashion, the guys discuss the Doctor Who season seven finale, The Name of the Doctor, then proceed to dig into Star Trek Into Darkness, as well as the real "Avengers Vs. X-Men" moment brewing between Fox and Disney over who's going to use Quicksilver on screen, X-Men: Days of Future Past or Avengers 2. In the picks, Kenny goes with the non-graphic novel Spice and Wolf Vol. 1, and Blake bids adieu to the Geoff Johns era with Green Lantern #20.

Erin, who is much nicer than Blake, told him to go ahead and post this week's episode despite a catastrophic recording error that chopped out her half of the conversation. So if you're up for it, here's an hour of Blake talking to himself about the new Doctor Who episode, some news from Wondercon, and the book Wool by Hugh Howey. If you don't want to listen to that, he doesn't blame you. Contact us with comments, suggestions, or anything else at Showcase@CXPulp.com!
