  1. This week, we are really reviewing some stinkers. First up, we'd tell Glenn Danzig to stick to music, but we've heard his latest album. So Tom and Des review Verotika instead. Then, Tom, being a glutton for punishment, sat through the late Joel M Reed's Bloodsucking Freaks. And of course, there are songs: "Eyes Ripping Fire" by Danzig, "Close Your Eyes" by Jyrki 69, "Bloodsucking Freak" by John Brennan and The Bigfeet feat. Chris Jericho, and "No Lives Matter" by Bodycount. [ 1:14:10 || 35.8 MB ]

     

  2. As The Doctor and her friends search for the TARDIS, they find themselves in the middle of a deadly game ("The Ghost Monument"). Then the harsh truth of the American South is called to task when The Doctor, Graham, Yas, and Ryan meet Rosa Parks days before her passive protest changed the world ("Rosa").

  4. This week on Dread Media, Desmond goes solo on a short review of The Invisible Man. Then, Duane joins him to discuss the Australian fantasy film Paperhouse. Finally, Tom swings by to pay tribute to the late, great Fred Willard in his reviews of the animated film Monster House. And there are songs: "The House that Dripped Blood" by The Mountain Goats, "Paper Houses" by Kowloon Walled City, "Monster House" by Fountains of Wayne, and "House of Doom" by Candlemass.

  5. This week on Dread Media, we get a little gritty. First up, Desmond and Duane take a look at Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid takes a look at the grimy classic, Maniac. Songs included: "I Saw a Tiger" by Matt Heafy, "Eat Me Alive" by Judas Priest, "Maniac" by Firewind, and "Nasty" by The Damned. [ 1:04:10 || 31.0 MB ]

     

  6. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom take in Richard Stanley's first in a trilogy of Lovecraft adaptations: Color Out of Space. And, since we know that the second film in the trilogy is The Dunwich Horror, I give a Dread Media Top 5 on recommendations for the third film. Your cosmic horror soundtrack: "Everybody's Going to Die" by The Church of the Cosmic Skull, "Pink Thing" by XTC, "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" by Mountain Goats, and "HP Lovecraft" by Bloodhag.

  7. To honor the proposed release of Bond #25, No Time to Die, The Brothers Wilson have also delayed the episode dedicated to the winner of our James Bond actor poll from earlier in the year: Timothy Dalton. The hosts look at the 1970 adaptation of the classic novel Wuthering Heights, before turning to slightly classier fare in Fran Drescher's The Beautician and the Beast. Then, by popular demand, the hosts review Hot Fuzz. Along the way, we have anecdotes regarding wedding reception music requests, lockdown quizzes, and a duet between singing space professors. And just how well do you know Alan Tudyk? [ 3:01:47 || 188.3 MB ]

     

  8. It's the one-month countdown to episode 666, so let's get Satanic! First up, Duane joins Desmond to discuss the brand new horror comedy Satanic Panic. Then Tom reviews the Hammer Film To the Devil a Daughter. There's also some audio to play backwards: comedy from Bill Hicks, "Better by You, Better Than Me" by Judas Priest, "Death and the Virgin" by Inkubus Sukkubus, "Super Charger Heaven" by White Zombie, and "That's When I Became a Satanist" by Entombed.

  9. This week sees Duane and Desmond taking a look at the Hungarian sort-of fantasy film, White God. Keeping the canine theme running, from the complete other side of the spectrum, Rich the Monster Movie Kid returns to Dread Media with a review of the Canadian horror/comedy Wolfcop. Here are some dog-walking tunes: "God = Dog" by Behemoth, "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things" by The Dillinger Escape Plan, "Year of the Wolf" by Motorhead, and "Jingle of a Dog's Collar" by Butthole Surfers.

  10. After surviving the extended pilot, Ian and Dave start their viewing of Automan as an episodic series. In "Staying Alive While Running a High Flashdance Fever," the police are trying to locate a kidnapped informant who is trying to implicate a well-respected judge in a corruption scandal. Also, Automan dances a bit. In "The Great Pretender," after a delivery of paper for printing money is hijacked, Walter and Automan seek to flush out the prime suspect behind it by aggressively targeting his other rackets. Finding themselves at the center of a mob power struggle, have Walter and "Mr. Otto" bitten off more than they can chew? They also discuss the show messing with its own ground rules, is Walter actually a jerk, and what exactly is Roxy's job in the police department? [ 1:29:08 || 37.0 MB ]

     

  11. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom sit down to discuss the frustrating Korean curse / possession film The Wailing. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Unconventional Possession Stories. Songs include: "Get Possessed" by Polkadot Cadaver, "Devil Stomp" by Guitar Wolf, "Time Is On My Side" by The Rolling Stones, and "Blessed and Possessed" by Powerwolf. [ 52:11 || 25.3 MB ]

     

  12. The Brothers Wilson may have been delayed by global events, but certainly not curtailed as they bring you their March episode in mid-April, featuring modern day Hollywood star Cameron Diaz. From the now-retired actress' body of work, Ian and Pandy delve into her surprise dramatic turn in the off-beat Being John Malkovich, her star turn in low-brow comedy hit There's Something About Mary, and her being one of the four pillars of seasonal romantic comedy The Holiday alongside many former HAA subjects. The episode also answers the obscure questions of which films had a prolific influence on screenwriter Russel T. Davies, where does Mr. Freeze fit into a Cameron Diaz movie, and which brother brought up the practice of dogging in a work meeting. All this, plus: puppets, cottaging, and the second instalment of "The Year of Hemmings" as attempted humor during these trying times. Go listen! [ 2:45:21 || 160.9 MB ]

     

  13. This week on Dread Media, our old friend Phil Mucci returns to talk about current events, George A. Romero's late zombie films, and how the music video he shot for Huntress led to his new graphic novel Murder Vibes from the Monster Dimension. Rounding it out is some of my favorite music of the year so far: "The Ugly Truth" by Kirk Windstein; "All the Bad Men" by Psychotic Waltz; "Take On Me" by Posehn feat. Jill Janus, Rob Cavestany, Chuck Billy, and Steve Souza; "Logic Ravaged by Brute Force" by Napalm Death; as well as a listener submitted reading of "Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe by Kris Vangalis. Grab Phil's graphic novel at www.professordariobava.com! [ 1:16:53 || 37.1 MB ]

     

  14. In this week's episode, we pay tribute to the late, great master of horror, Stuart Gordon. First, Duane and Desmond take in a viewing of his ripped-from-the-headlines final feature film, Stuck. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 favorite Stuart Gordon films featuring a mix of classics and under-appreciated gems. Songs included: "From the Deep" by The Browns and "Stuck" by Leprous. [ 1:03:21 || 30.6 MB ]

     

  15. This week on Dread Media, it's an old-fashioned grab-bag! First up, Tom and I discuss David Twohy's meta-narrative thriller A Perfect Getaway. Then, Desmond goes solo on Paul von Stoetzel's adaptation of Ed Kurtz's story in the short film Mules. Finally, your intrepid host has a recommendation for something to binge-watch in these days of the plague: Channel Zero: No-End House. Songs included: "No Vacation" by Monster Magnet, "Getaway" by KISS, "Muleskinner Blues (Live)" by Hick'ry Hawkins, "Infinite End" by Arcadea, and "The Bandits of Shamblekeep" by Ovid's Withering.

  16. This week on Dread Media, try to take your mind off of the global pandemic with us as we rejoice in the insane spectacle that is the live concert film of German Industrial Metal titans Rammstein. Desmond and Darryll stumbled upon this masterpiece as they are left agog after a viewing of Jonas Akerlund's Rammstein: Paris. Then, Desmond runs down his favorite Rammstein music videos in a Dread Media Top 5. Finally, Tom keeps the weird German train rolling as he takes a look at Roland Emmerich's bizarre early film, Making Contact (or Joey, depending on where you live). Songs included: "Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen," "Mein Til," and "Deutschland" all by Rammstein, "Delicious Demon (Life's Too Good)" by The Sugarcubes, and "We Like to Party (Vengabus)" by Devin Townsend, Anneke Van Giersebergen and Che Aimee Dorval.
