In this edition of Extra Lives, Aaron and Damien discuss the finer things in the life, like sweet alien love, 8-bit racism, triangular boobs, and punching giant cranes in the face. You know, the usual. They also continue their coverage of the polarizing God Hand. Is spanking an effective form of self-defense? Is a gorilla suit really required to master the art of lucha libre? Where did the midgets come from? And did Damien just say that he liked the game?! The answers to all that and more are just a click away!

In this episode of Married to Movies, Megan and Desmond kick off a two-fer of episodes, taking a look at the films of Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. The Maltese Falcon and Breakfast at Tiffany's are up first. What happens in this episode? Megan and Desmond actually agree on things! Desmond even lets her talk a couple times! Megan takes offense to Desmond offending Peter Lorre. The best movies to make out to are the long ones. When Megan tells us why she doesn't like black and white films you will be blown away. The hosts puzzle over Audrey Hepburn's origins, and have an interesting conversation about America in the early 1960s. Also, how bad is the racism in this movie? Real bad. All this and more!

Treasure had a lot to live up to with the sequel to Sin and Punishment. For various reasons, the original was initially a Japan-only release, but it still managed to gain quite a cult following in the West. It's one of the few Japan-only games to be released to the rest of the world via Virtual Console, largely thanks to that following, and it's not hard to see why; Sin and Punishment is a fun, fast-paced rail shooter that's filled with crazy, inventive set pieces. With the sequel coming a full 10 years later, on hardware that's a little more befitting the genre, there's a lot more potential for something truly awe-inspiring.

Extra Lives has gone official! In this first episode, Aaron and Damien have no shortage of things to disagree on, least of which being the featured God Hand. The guys also come away from Alan Wake with wildly differing opinions, but still find the time to shine a flashlight on their souls. The emotional roller coaster doesn't stop there, as other topics include the villainous potential of Kirby, the upsides of loneliness, the inherent boredom found in German suplexing robots, and gasp only 10 seconds of Street Fighter talk.

In the final installment of Wedding Month, Desmond and Megan laugh their way through 2009's The Hangover, and are puzzled throughout by 2007's Margot at the Wedding. Which movie prompts Megan to talk about the bride's dress and hair? How badly does Desmond fail to come up with an analogy for a poorly titled movie? How does Desmond give Megan issues? And just how much better are Desmond's picks this month? Also, the hosts reveal the film line-up for at least the next two episodes! Listen to find out.

In this Spaghetti Western special, Desmond and Darryll take a look at two very different films in the Django legacy: the original badass Django on Blu-ray, and the bizarre and puzzling Takashi Miike film Sukiyaki Western Django. Trust me, this one's fun. Of course, suitable songs are played as always: "Django" by Luis Bacalov, "Django" by Rancid, "Japanese Cowboy" by Ween, and "Carry the Coffin" by Ghoultown. So go ahead, draw first. I dare you! [ 1:09:29 || 32.0 MB ] The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/dreadmedia/episodes/dreadmedia_148.mp3
