  2. One of Disney's darkest, yet most hopeful films, Pinocchio has charmed, inspired, and traumatized generations of viewers - including Christian Honore and Donovan Morgan Grant. Join the two as they unpack this paradox, from its catchy songs and marvelous animation to its dastardly rogue's gallery (including a strong candidate for the most evil Disney villain of all time) and depictions of cruelty, drugs, and ethnic stereotypes.

  3. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom present a double feature of reviews of newer films with the theme of young women in trouble. First up, it's Edgar Wright's wild sort-of period piece Last Night in Soho. Then, the gritty, modern, weird haunted apartment building film plucked from the news The Scary of Sixty-First. Of course, there's tunes: "Slaughtered in Soho" by Carcass, "Avenues and Alleyways" by Rancid, "Room 429" by Strapping Young Lad, and "Call Me Little Sunshine" by Ghost.

  4. This week, Desmond and Duane review a little seen piece of delightful Canucksploitation in Siege. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Siege Films in the order of how badly he wants to rewatch them. Songs included: "Gay Bar" by Electric Six, "I Wanna Be a Homosexual" by Screeching Weasel, "End Credits" from Assault on Precinct 13 by John Carpenter, and "The Siege and Investiture of Baron Von Frankenstein's Castle At Weisseria" by Mary Shelley Overdrive.

  5. Once upon a time, a visionary cartoon producer put everything on the line to complete a film that would change the world forever: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In this inaugural episode, Christian and his sister Emma examine Disney's first cinematic princess, prince, sidekicks, villain, henchmen, and the film that they inhabit. Along the way, they discuss the film's genesis and legacy, the possibly non-consensual Love's First Kiss, and changes that Disney made from The Brothers Grimm fairy tale that were probably for the best.

  6. What says Easter quite like Faye Dunaway? Whatever the answer to that riddle may be, The Brothers Wilson tamper with their usual film ordering to chart the career decline of one of the most prominent actresses of the 1970s, starting with her Oscar-winning highpoint in Network. Then the supposed "biopic" of Joan Crawford, Mommie Dearest, which is said to mark the turning point of Dunaway's career. Finally, the true marker of a career suffering monumental decline in Dunston Checks In, as the hosts ponder whether Elizabeth Taylor would allow an orangutan to shove her into a massive cake. Along the way, Ian and Pandy chat about history source work, TABHAL, acceptable films for Pandy's children, and Ian's hot takes on Home Alone. It's an audio experience not to be missed!

  7. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom take in a double feature of two very different supernatural horror films. First up, the solemn and effective Under the Shadow. Then, Stephen Chow stars in a bizarre haunted apartment building comedy, Out of the Dark. Songs included: "Fancy Wind" by Nekrogoblikon, "Daughter of the Djinn" by Tribulation, "Out of the Darkness" by Blue Oyster Cult, and "Dread Reaver" by Abbath. [ 1:21:00 || 39.1 MB ]

     

  8. This week on the show, Desmond and Duane take in a viewing of one of the most visually striking fantasy films that managed to use only paper and cardboard for its effects: Dave Made a Maze. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Cinematic Oddities. And, of course, there are tunes: "Obsession" by Killing Joke, "Minotaur" by Clutch, "The High Cost of Playing God" by Converge, and "Terminally Unique" by Lamb of God. [ 53:17 || 25.8 MB ]

     

  9. This week on the show, Desmond and Tom cover a double feature of films based on Native American evil spirits that have very little to do with actual Native Americans. We're going to go from best to worst, so first, a look at the weird body horror / cosmic horror freakout The Manitou. Then, a skinwalker is like an evil Navajo witch, right? So why is this dumb movie full of bikers and wolfmen? That's the question they ask in their review of Skinwalkers. Songs included: "The Fear That Binds You" by Crowbar, "Becoming" by Pantera, "Skinwalker" by Navajo Witch, and "Man Bites Dogged" by Napalm Death. [ 1:11:11 || 34.4 MB ]

[ 51:17 || 24.8 MB ]

     

  11. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom take a look at the super-weird movie that somehow managed to leave even more super-weird stuff out of it from the novel it's based on: Scream and Scream Again. Then I go solo on a Dread Media Top 5 movies that drastically changed from the novels they are based on. Songs: "Scream!" by The Misfits, "Scream You Fucker, Scream" by The Meteors, "Re: Your Brains" by Jonathan Coulton, and "Villainy, Wretched Villainy" by Midnight. [ 58:26 || 28.3 MB ]

  13. The Brothers Wilson begin the year with retiring comedic actor Rick Moranis, starting with semi-pulp musical Streets of Fire, moving on to his lead role in Little Shop of Horrors, and Disney breakthrough Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Are there other selling points? Sure, but you'll have to listen to find out! [ 3:10:17 || 91.7 MB ]

     

  14. In this final episode of Folk Horror February, we here at Dread Media Headquarters have made sure to end with a bang. First up, Desmond and Tom discuss the colonial folk horror film Eyes of Fire. After going solo on more discussion of the Crying Blue Sky cut of the last film, Desmond is joined by Rich the Monster Movie Kid to discuss the Polish costume folk horror drama Lokis: A Manuscript of Professor Wittembach. And we've discussed lots of folk horror fiction and films this month, so the last Dread Media Top 5 is Folk Horror Across Other Media. And, of course, there's more folk songs: "Eyes on Fire" by Blue Oyster Cult, "Feed the Tree" by Belly, "Nobody Home" by Mark Lanegan (RIP), "Black Bear" by Whitechapel, "Golden Bough" by Sleep of Monsters, and "Ulvsblakk" by Ulver. [ 1:53:59 || 54.9 MB ]

     

  15. As we roll into the second half of Folk Horror February the folky freak-outs continue! First up, Desmond and Duane review the 1991 Canadian survival folk horror film Clearcut. Then, Desmond goes solo on a review of the first film ever shot in the Haida language, the haunting folktale of The Edge of the Knife. And it's barely folk horror as we discover, but Des and Tom's review of the 1958 Norwegian film Lake of the Dead is still really fun. And finally, a Dread Media Top 5 Folk Horror Films You May Have Never Seen. And don't forget the folk songs: "Tied to a Tree" by AFI, "Show Me the Wrath" by Sepultura, "Edge of a Knife" by Cirith Ungol, "Occultus Lake" by Dead Again, "The Ballad of Harry Warden" by John McDermott, and "Church Burns" by Zeal and Ardor.

  16. Folk Horror February continues with a Dread Media first! Despite being one of the longest-running contributors to the show, Desmond and Rich the Monster Movie Kid have never reviewed a a film together. Until now! The guys talk for the better part of an hour about the 1973 Serbian film Leptirica. Almost as long as the film itself! On top of that, Desmond does two Dread Media Top 5s this episode based on novels and short stories respectively. Also, songs: "Lovely Butterfly" by Melvins, "The Butterfly" by Cruachan, "Book of Bad Decisions" by Clutch, "Sin" by Nine Inch Nails, and "Crying Wolf" by Tony Martin. [ 1:36:07 || 46.4 MB ]

     

  17. Emma returns to List and Shout! so she and her brother Christian can survey the vast spectrum of fictional cities. From comfy, semi-medieval towns and futuristic metropolises to hostile desert outposts and urban hellscapes, they examine them all. Along the way, the Honore siblings discuss the pros and cons of living near waterfalls, deliver totally authentic European accents, and ponder the age-old question: do hot people and nice weather make up for corrupt police forces and high crime rates? Also, prepare yourself for a trailer announcing the newest podcast on Earth-2.net! [ 1:30:58 || 46.2 MB ]

     

  18. This week on Dread Media, we kick off Folk Horror February with Desmond and Duane going in-depth on one of the foundational films in the subgenre: The Blood on Satan's Claw. Then Desmond goes solo on the foundational film of Severin Films' new Folk Horror box set: Kier-La Janisse's documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror.

  20. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom squeeze one more holiday film in at the very tail end of the season because we didn't want to wait that long again to share the sheer insanity of Bruce Campbell passing the torch to Devon Sawa in 2021's Black Friday. Then Desmond does a Dread Media Top 5 Workplace Horror Films. All that, and songs too: "Strength Thru Shopping" by Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, "Black Friday" by Faith No More, "Day's Work" by ASG, and "Girl in a Suitcase" by Lordi. Happy American Thanksgiving, I guess. [ 57:13 || 27.7 MB ]

     

  21. After many a-setback, The Brothers Wilson finally bring you their final show of 2021, with our featured player being Rob Reiner. Coverage centers around his directorial helming of classic romcom When Harry Met Sally..., as well as his first stint in the director's chair for This Is Spinal Tap, in which he also co-stars. In addition to Reiner's career, the "January" episode also means that Ian and Pandy delve into jingles, George Banks, Christian Honore's Casting Challenge, outtakes, and The Tomlinson Awards. And just who will be the first two subjects proper for 2022? [ 2:59:29 || 86.5 MB ]

  23. Great Scott and oh boy! Michael David Sims and Donovan Morgan Grant join Christian aboard the List and Shout Express through one of the most perilous yet rewarding avenues in all of storytelling: time travel. On this jaunt, the three men share and compare their favorite time machines, shake their heads and fists at the worst paradoxes and plot holes associated with the genre, and reminisce and rave about their favorite journeys through time.
