  1. In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick starts the countdown to 100 with an interview with Severin Films head, legendary genre film documentarian and writer / director David Gregory. Then Darryll and Desmond sit down to look at David's first feature film, Plague Town. Feedback aplenty, and tunes to keep you up at night. Including: "There is a Town" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, "Fall Children" by AFI and "I'm Eighteen" by Bette. [ 1:46:51 || 49.1 MB ]

  2. As the third season of Doctor Who comes to a close, the TARDIS crew frees an enslaved civilization ("The Savages"), then they stop a supercomputer from destroying mankind ("The War Machines"). And when the dust settles, we're left with an entirely new set of companions. As Steven and Dodo make their exits, Polly and Ben find themselves unwillingly whisked away by The Doctor.

  3. The real world doesn't make much sense to Barbara Thorson. While everyone else seems preoccupied with work or school, she only cares about one thing: killing giants. Every night she wraps herself up in an elaborate fantasy world — talking to fairies, constructing mythical weapons and working on powerful traps. Her lack of interest in the real world makes her an outcast at school, but it's something she gladly accepts. In fact, she's quick to snap at anyone who tries to influence her, making it hard for her teachers to deal with. At home things aren't much better. Her older sister, Karen, has to care for the family, and she has no idea how to handle Barbara's eccentric behavior. But it's Taylor, the school bully, who is angered the most by Barbara's attitude. Barbara refuses to back down to Taylor's threats, and that's not something Taylor takes lightly.

  4. In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond starts the show with even more announcements and a cry for help before Darryll and a special guest reviewer steal the show with a discussion of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Then, it's the debut of Dying in the Gutters, a new horror comics segment. And what better to start with than the recent DC Comics Classics Library collection called The Roots of the Swamp Thing. It's another full show with lots of feedback and a few laughs to be had. Tunes included: "Vampire Hunters" by Wojciech Kilar, "Dracula" by Iced Earth, "Swamp Thing" by The Damned and "School's Out" by GWAR. Whoa! [ 1:26:18 || 39.7 MB ]

  5. With a longer fallow period of movie reviewing than first thought, the table has grown into a Top 30. With the continuing documentation of how I would rank comic book movies based upon their Comic Reel-lief review scores, the new update adds the first three full-length Batman films, both Hellboy and Hulk films, Wanted, Watchmen and Wolverine to the 20 previously reviewed films.

  6. Most Atlas-era aficionados and hardcore Marvel fans will already know that the green-skinned goliath was not the first creature created by Jack Kirby to be called The Hulk. Few will remember the much more interesting and far cooler Marvel namesake progenitor: Colossus. Way before the steel Soviet sprung from the pages of Giant-Sized X-Men #1, the shadow of the Colossus already spread far across the landscape of the Marvel Universe's Soviet Union.

  7. After some show announcements, Desmond Reddick kicks off a low-key episode with a discussion on 2001's Joy Ride with Darryll. Then, Desmond reviews what is certainly the best horror novel in recent years, Pressure by Jeff Strand. Tunes included: "Truckloads of Nothin'" by The Hellacopters, "Ride With Us" by Turbonegro, "Pressure Drop" by Toots & The Maytals and "The Burning" by Ghoultown. [ 1:17:35 || 35.7 MB ]

  8. Theoretically, both movies and comic books are amongst many creative mediums that value artistic expression, and where the imaginations of visionary storytellers are allowed to flourish before they are shared with the open-minded general public. Sadly, that world is very different from the one in which we live, where money dictates creativity and ugly phrases like "box office drop" exist. But who are the people that point at the film adaptation of Watchmen and lament how something that grossed over $180 million is underperforming?

  9. Forgoing lengthy musical advertising, an embarrassing parody rap and Pandy, this month's For Your Ears Only looks back at Roger Moore's maligned run as Bond as it concludes in A View to a Kill. Ageism aplenty, Ian and Adham also find time to sing (again), sneak in topical fortunes of English football teams and point out certain stunts that Roger Moore probably didn't perform.

  10. In this episode of Dread Media, things go rather smoothly for an episode with a curse theme. Desmond and Darryll bring back the Roadkill Review for Sam Raimi's return to horror, Drag Me To Hell. Then Desmond goes solo on the indie B-movie Blood Scarab, and the Japanese head-scratcher Battle Heater. Most importantly, your gracious host goes through tons of feedback and begins the podcast with a tale of a donut. Tunes included: "See You in Hell" by Monster Magnet, "Living Hell" by The Misfits, "Curse of the Pharaohs" by Mercyful Fate, "Day the Earth Caught Fire" by Balzac and "Im-Ho-Tep (Pharaoh's Curse)" by Iced Earth.

  11. In this week's horror-comedy episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick sits down with Darryll to check out one of the funniest films of all time: Young Frankenstein. Then Desmond goes solo on two zom-coms, Tokyo Zombie and RetarDEAD, before checking out a couple of comics: Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead #3 and Poe #1. The following songs will be heard before you see them coming: "He's Loose" from the original cast recording of Young Frankenstein: The Musical, "Puttin' On the Ritz" by Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle, "I Walked with a Zombie" by Roky Erickson & The Aliens, "RetarDEAD" by Lisa Rein and Kurt Kendall, "Supernaturally" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and "Horror Films" by Bill Hicks. Enjoy this Abby Normal episode of Dread Media! [ 1:13:19 || 33.7 MB ]

  12. I have an addiction. Beyond the comics, the horror and the Kirby, I mean. I have an unending appetite for hunting down and devouring issues of DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest, which reprint stories from the 1970s and 80s. It was these that cut my teeth on DC's massive bank of continuity and introduced a very young Desmond Reddick to characters and properties like Jonah Hex, Haunted Tank and The Demon.
