  1. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Celebrate your Halloween season with us and a few classic family specials! First, has any hero peered as unflinchingly into the face of terror than the bumbling pharmacist invited to 1967's Mad Monster Party? Then, the immortal Impaler of Transylvania matches wits with some amateur teenage detectives in 1979's The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula! [ 1:13:31 ]
  2. This week on the show, our old friend Greg Lamberson returns to discuss all five films in The Omen franchise. On the docket is The Omen, Damien: Omen II, Omen III: The Final Conflict, Omen IV: The Awakening, and The Omen (2006). We talk about the Damiens, the dads, and, most importantly, the deaths in all the films. Songs included: "The Omen (Ave Satani)" by Fantômas, "The Omen - Main Theme/Ave Satani," "Damien: Omen II - Main Theme," and "Omen III - The Final Conflict" by Jerry Goldsmith, "Awakening" by The Damning Well, and "Damien" by Iced Earth. RIP David Warner. [ 1:57:42 || 56.7 MB ] [ download ]
  3. Inept protagonists, grabby princes, and villains who don’t deserve sympathetic origin stories take center stage as Pandy and Kelly Wilson reunite with Christian to take on the most divisive film on the podcast yet: the artistically rich but narratively deficient Sleeping Beauty. Which fairy does Pandy hate the most? Who are Death Girl and the Anti-Michael Caine? Pink or blue? Plus, the hosts weigh in the latest Strange World trailer and the announcement of Wish and Christian commissions a podcast for Kelly to host! [ 1:36:53 ]
  4. We're getting hassled by The Man on the Movie Show this week. Bruce Campbell's here to keep the streets of New York safe for the last half hour or so of 1988’s Maniac Cop! After that, ROTOR isn't even the best robot in his own 1987 movie! All glory to Willard! [ 1:16:14 ]
  5. This week on the show, author Jeff Jacobson returns after 12 years to talk about his brand new big, killer wasp novel, Buzz Kill, and a couple books he's written since we last talked. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Swarm Animal Stories. Grab a can of Raid for the following tunes: "Hornet's Nest" by Power Trip, "Scream Until You like It" by WASP., "Hivemind" by Slipknot, and "Yellowjacket" by Spiritbox (feat. Sam Carter).

  6. This week on the show, Desmond and Duane have a little fun with New Zealand's Mega Time Squad. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Time Travel Stories Across Media. Also, a bunch of songs with the word "time" in them: "Time Machine" by Black Sabbath, "Travelers of Time" by Angra, "Time Will Not Remain" by Killswitch Engage, and "Doing Time" by Avenged Sevenfold. [ 45:05 || 21.9 MB ] [ download ]
  7. Recording alongside Dolly and Lily again, Christian and Emma dig into Lady and the Tramp - the first of Disney’s pet-protagonist films, and holder of several other major firsts for the studio. In the process, the two great Danes deliver more silly singing than ever before, and face a terrible trio of Chekhov’s Rat, Yellow Peril stereotypes, and the world’s worst video store manager. [ 1:20:27 ]
  8. Go ahead and skip your lessons at Sensei Doug's this week, we've got you covered! First, 2021’s New York Ninja remains lost in the swirling mists of time no longer! Then, we're gonna dive headlong into the seas of Cannon Films with 1984’s Ninja III: The Domination! [ 1:11:47 ]
  9. This week on the show, Desmond and Tom take a look at David Cronenberg's latest: Crimes of the Future. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Non-David Cronenberg Body Horror Double Features (yes, a long title and an excuse to talk about a whole bunch of movies). Songs included: "Bleed for Me" by Dead Kennedys, "All Hail the New Flesh" by Strapping Young Lad, "The Sick, The Dying, and The Dead" by Megadeth, and "Changes" by High Reeper.

  10. This week on the show, Desmond and Duane review 1971's The Mephisto Waltz.

  11. This program contains negative depictions of and / or mistreatment of people and cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it, and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. With this well-earned disclaimer, Christian and Donovan move from Wonderland to Neverland and dive into the part-enchanting, part-problematic Peter Pan. Side servings include some choice Batman, Bond, and Colin Baker references, a question about Goofy's marriage, and the tragic fate of Bobby Driscoll. [ 2:15:44 ]
  12. You've had a rough week, so we're easing you into your weekend with classic British horror! First, a Victorian country squire solves the "nobody wants to work anymore" problem with a labor plan that's sure not to go badly at all, in 1966's The Plague of the Zombies! After that, sure, you got your Peter Cushing, you got your Christopher Lee, but really we know you're here for Kung Fu Rod Stewart dressed as a Dracula. It's 1971's The House That Dripped Blood! [ 1:29:26 ]
  13. This week on the show, Desmond and Tom look at the most recent self-indulgent rock star thing: The Foo Fighters and Studio 666. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Rockstar (and Manager) Self-Indulgences. Songs included: "The Sweet Abyss" and "March of the Insane" by Dream Widow, "Cabin Essence" by Brian Wilson Presents... SMILE, and... you know what? The last song is a surprise. [ 58:12 || 28.2 MB ] [ download ]
  14. Ian and Mike return to their AEW predictions from 2021 to see how they turned out, then they look ahead into late 2022 and possibly 2023. [ 2:24:22 || 71.1 MB ]
  15. This week on the show, the local crew (Brittney, Jeff, Mo, Scott, and mostly silent Stacy) returns after a year to take a look at Alex Garland's latest: Men. Lots to talk about with this one. It's wild. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Actors Who Played Multiple Roles in a Film. Songs included: "All the Bad Men" by Psychotic Waltz, "Love Song" by Lesley Duncan, "Evil Twin" by Anthrax, and "My Name is Blank" by Boris. [ 52:11 || 25.3 MB ] [ download ]
  16. Donovan Morgan Grant returns to the program to help Christian tackle the trippiest entry in the Disney Animated Canon yet: Alice in Wonderland. As they galumph and chortle their way through the film's synopsis, the two madmen also remark upon the vast cultural footprint left by its source material, the 1999 and 2010 live-action retellings of the story, and the casual cruelty of Wonderland's inhabitants. [ 1:56:52 ]
  17. http://www.earth-2.net/images/front/c37mms_03.jpg We've got a smile on our face and a song in our heart! You will too, once you start your weekend right with 1974's Phantom of the Paradise, the best glam rock opera featuring a guy in a bird suit ever made! Then, Professor PJ Soles cultures your ass with 1979's Rock 'n' Roll High School! Gabba Gabba Hey! [ 1:33:52 ] [ download ][b]To listen, click here:[/b] [media]{url}[/media]
  18. This week on the show, Desmond and Duane get extreme again as they take in the Taiwanese Shudder original The Sadness. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Rage Virus Things (including a very special surprise). Songs included: "Sadness Comes Home" by Converge, "Depravity Favours the Bold" by Anaal Nathrakh, "Aesthetics of Hate" by Machine Head, "We All Rage in Blood" by Neurosis. [ 58:24 || 28.2 MB ] [ download ]
  19. This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom take a look at two HBO TV movies from the 90s that were supposed to be a franchise. First up, the charming and fun Cast a Deadly Spell. Then, the puzzling and misguided Witch Hunt. Songs included: "Reality Spiral" by Greg Puciato, "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" by The Mountain Goats, "Witch Hunt" by Machine Head, and "Restless and Wicked" by Municipal Waste. [ 1:04:04 || 31.0 MB ] [ download ]
  20. After enduring the multi-story but mostly mediocre package films, Part of Your World not only returns to single-story narratives, but also enters the 1950s and Disney’s Silver Age. This time, Christian and both Pandy and Kelly Wilson survey Cinderella - the ultimate underdog story, and the movie that reversed Disney’s fortunes forever. Plus, feedback can now be submitted at disney@earth-2.net, and the synopsis gets briefly derailed by some misplaced jewelry. [ 1:36:09 ]
  21. http://www.earth-2.net/images/front/c37mms_02.jpg Donald G Jackson: misunderstood visionary cinephile, or not that? Decide for yourself after tonight's double feature of Jackson-directed masterpieces! First up is the 1986 postapocalyptic nunsploitation oddity Roller Blade! After that, stick around while Rowdy Roddy Piper repopulates the human race despite frog monsters getting up in his fries, in 1987's Hell Comes to Frogtown!

  22. This week on Dread Media, we present a double feature of Mexican extreme horror cinema. First up, Desmond and Tom review the 2014 anthology film Mexico Barbaro. Then, Desmond and Duane grin and bear the 2015 extreme horror found footage "classic" Atroz. Fair warning: these films feature horrible people doing the most horrible things that you can imagine to other people, so this episode features some discussion of those things. This is a rough episode. As such, some rough music is needed: "Matando Gueros 97" by Brujeria, "The Devil in Mexico" by Murder By Death, "Mi Odio y Mi Rabia" by Acidez, and "Merkurius Gilded" by Imperial Triumphant featuring Max Gorelick and his dad, Kenny G. Seriously. [ 1:21:08 || 39.2 MB ] [ download ]
  23. This week on the show, our old friend Greg Lamberson stops by to chat about this year's feature film lineup for the Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival (www.buffalodreamsfantasticfilmfestival.com), but not before I do a spoiler-free micro-review of Jordan Peele's Nope. Tunes included: "I Live Behind the Clouds" by Monster Magnet, "Beyond Electric Dreams" by Bad Religion, and "Buffalo Run" by Orville Peck. [ 59:14 || 28.7 MB ]
  24. The Doctor discovers she's not who she thinks she is ("Fugitive of the Judoon"), and the use of plastic is killing us all ("Praxeus"). Note: This episode was recorded before the casting of Ncuti Gatwa. [ 45:42 || 24.8 MB ]
  25. Geordi fucks up by bringing holodeck Professor Moriarty to life ("Elementary Dear Data"), and bum-ass Han Solo fucks his away around the ship ("The Outrageous Okona"). The guys get bored talking about the second episode and turn the show into a Quantum Leap podcast. [ 51:29 || 25.2 MB ]
