  1. Happy Holidays from Dread Media headquarters as we present the annual Christmas episode! This year is a little different, because Tom Deja and I didn't settle on the fact that I, Madman was a Christmas movie until the end of our review. That's okay, because even if you disagree, Tom comes back to go solo on Secret Santa. And, of course, here are your requisite Christmas Scarols: "No Presents for Christmas" by King Diamond, "Diary of a Madman," by Ozzy Osbourne, "Zombie Claus" by Psychostick, and, obviously, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.

  2. This week on Dread Media, it's the return of the Roadkill Review as Darryll and Desmond take in a special viewing of Michael Paszt's Nail in the Coffin: The Fall and Rise of Vampiro at the Whistler Film Festival. Then, Tom Deja goes solo on a review of Rivers of Darkness, which features wrestlers Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, and Psycho Sid (so you know it's good). Finally, Desmond returns for a Dread Media Top 5 of wrestling documentaries. Songs included: "Hate the Living, Love the Dead" by The Misfits, "I Wanna Be Sedated" by Mirel Wagner, "Slippin' Into Darkness" by War, "(F@*ked Up) Beyond Belief" and "Coffin Nail" by Death by Dishonor.

  3. Adam, Jeff, and Scott join me for a funny / nihilistic splatter-punk double feature. First up, a Dread Media revisit of the amazing Rutger Hauer film Hobo with a Shotgun. Then, a film I've always wanted to rewatch for the podcast but never got around to. Well, now I've gotten around to it: John Gulager's Feast. [ 53:24 || 25.9 MB ]

     

  4. Renowned Shakespearean actor, gay rights pioneer, and family friend of the hosts, the final actor for The Year of the Rings is none other than Sir Ian McKellen. The Brothers Wilson try to save time by reviewing both Gods and Monsters and Mr. Holmes, which are basically the same film, as well as capping of the Tolkien adaptations with their coverage of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Along the way there are discussions of various iterations of Sherlock Holmes, Jeff Goldblum impersonators, the strategic port of Dover, and rock frontmen reading bedtime stories.

  5. This week, get gothic with us as Desmond and Tom review the wildly feverish Ken Russell film Gothic. Then Tom pays tribute to the late character actor Michael J Pollard with a review of the under-appreciated 1980s gem American Gothic. Of course, there are some gothic tunes: "Fantasmagoria" and "The Devil is an Englishman" by Thomas Dolby, "American Gothic" by The Cult, and "Gothica" by The Dead Elvi. [ 59:23 || 28.7 MB ]

     

  6. Dave and Ian return for another two episodes of Crazyhead. In "Shave the Cat," Suzanne has returned from the dead and isn't the woman she used to be. Raquel, Amy, and Jake take her somewhere remote in search of a cure cure, and Raquel makes a new friend while searching for a phone signal. In "Penguin or Cow," Amy and Raquel confront Mercy while trying to find the kidnapped Suzanne. She is being held captive by Callum who intends to use her to take Amy out of the picture once and for all. They also discuss the correct posture to adopt if you ever see Ian in a pet shop, and discover that their previous edition has caught the attention of one of the cast's mothers.

  7. This week on Dread Media, Darryll and Desmond dig into the classic grimy slice of small-town crime, River's Edge. Besides the tight script, the incredible cast and acting, and killer soundtrack, it's just a really beautifully dark film. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 of heavy metal dirtbag films. Songs include all but one tune from the feature review's soundtrack: "Die by the Sword" by Slayer, "River Below" by Billy Talent, "Lethal Tendencies" by Hallows Eve, and "Kyrie Eleison" by Fates Warning.

  8. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom take in a double feature of disappointing dark superhero movies. Up first, Superman's origin story gets an uninspired spin in Brightburn. Then, things get worse when they review the Finnish vigilante film Rendel: Dark Vengeance. At least there are some great music: "One of You" by Silvertomb, "Superman" by Duff McKagan, "Out for Blood" by Sum 41, and "Vengeance (The Pact)" by Blue Oyster Cult. [ 1:01:44 || 29.9 MB ]

     

  9. This week on Dread Media, Desmond is joined by Adam, Brittney, Jeff, and Scott to review a Mick Garris production: the anthology film Nightmare Cinema. Then, Tom Deja stops by to take a look at Without Warning. Songs included: "Nightmare" by Brendon Small, "Friends Forever" by Zack Attack, "Without Warning" by Dokken, and "Someone Else's Nightmare" by Early Man. [ 52:05 || 25.2 MB ]

     

  10. Possibly the least likely subject for Hey, an Actor! in its history, our hosts nevertheless take one of the few female actors to grace The Year of the Rings, which is Evangeline Lilly. Ian finally gets to watch Real Steel, whereas hidden gem Little Evil graces Pandy's eyeballs for the first time, and The Hobbit is revisited with middle chapter The Desolation of Smaug. Along the way, we find out that where these films cross over with start-up wrestling promotion AEW, which Earth-2.net staffer has a brief history with Evangeline Lilly, and how a fellow Leicestrian basically prolongs the Hobbit trilogy by being a b*stard. Also, we discover how often Tom Hemmings gets name-dropped on a typical episode of HAA, and The Brothers Wilson are once again haunted by their former Emailbot. [ 2:40:57 || 77.6 MB ]

     

  11. This week on Dread Media, we do a double feature of a rebooted Wes Craven series as Desmond and Duane review The Hills Have Eyes and The Hills Have Eyes 2 from 2006 and 2007 respectively. But first, a state of the podcast address! And of course there's music: "Earth AD" by The Misfits, and three songs titled "The Hills Have Eyes" by The Meteors, LoudLion, and The 69 Eyes.
