  1. It's a wild world this week as Megan and Darryll join Desmond on separate reviews. Megan wants her monsters to be a little bit sexier in the television series Sanctuary, and Darryll wants his Nazi zombies from Norwegian splatstick film Dead Snow to be... more subtle? Desmond tries to add a bit of sober levelheadedness to the show, but ends up liking the PG-13 straight-to-video Scary Madison production The Shortcut. It's not worth fighting it. Join the madness. It's better that way. Tunes include: "Sanctuary" by Alice Cooper, "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult, "Sin's a Good Man's Brother" by Monster Magnet, "D.I.B. (Drenched in Blood)" by Turbonegro, and "Zombie Toolshed" by Mary Shelley Overdrive. [ 1:30:41 || 41.7 MB ]

  2. Though they're only covering one episode this time around, that being "The Web of Fear," Dan and Mike have a lot to talk about: the new logo, leaked photos, what they want to see moving forward, the return of the Yeti and the Great Intelligence, and the debut of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. This is one packed show! (Concerning the upcoming series, there are some slight spoilers between 6:40-11:30.) [ 46:37 || 21.4 MB ]

  3. Virgil travels to the past in an effort to save his mother's life ("Flashback"), then he meets an elderly superhero with powers very much like his own ("Blast from the Past"). Traveling through time once more, Static joins forces with the Terry McGinnis Batman in an effort to save his future self ("Future Shock"). She-Bang and Madelyn Spaulding return to Dakota, both to the annoyance of Static ("She-Back!"). And Anansi visits America, where he teams with Static to retrieve a priceless artifact that holds the key to his powers ("Out of Africa"). [ 1:46:04 || 48.7 MB ]

  4. In this massive episode of Dread Media, Desmond and Darryll check out the highly anticipated anthology film Trick 'r Treat. Then Desmond brings balance to the world by watching a really terrible anthology film: Grave Danger. He then cleanses his palette with Sea Beast. Also, Desmond reviews the comic Incarnate #2 and the trade paperback Young Lovecraft. The winner of the Blind Dead Collection is revealed, and feedback is gone through. All in a race to reach the end of the episode before the plague consumes your intrepid host. He also takes breathers during the following terror tunes: "Trick or Treat" by Fastway, "No More Trick or Treat" by Mad Sin, "Gimme Danger" by Monster Magnet, "Seabeast" by Mastodon, "Young" by Hollywood Undead, and "Phone Home" by Dillinger Escape Plan.

  5. After suffering criticism concerning the quality of their games and their reliance on yearly Madden updates (not to mention their other sports titles), it seems that EA is determined to change their image. In the past few years there have been a slew of new intellectual properties from the company; games like Boom Blox, Skate, and Mirror's Edge have shown an experimental side that's long been absent. Perhaps the most interesting release has been a platformer called Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. Developed by a team better known for their sports titles, Henry Hatsworth is a colorful, quirky platformer / puzzler mash-up for the DS. To say it came out of left field would be an understatement, but it quickly garnered appeal — and with good reason. There's a lot to like about this little platformer, even if it is a bit rough around the edges.

  6. Tomorrow Never Dies, the sophomore entry to the Brosnan-era Bonds, gets a slightly different treatment from the hosts this month. Why? Because this is the first episode to be recorded via Skype! Tune in to see how this affects the rapport and the audio quality of the show, along with the regular features. Also find out why begging the hosts to go easy on something will be doomed to fail, why Adham feels slighted that he wasn't cast in this film at the age of 12, and why Ian made a terrible mistake in making the news section about hypothetical Bond theme musicians.

  7. The 1970s were a decade where it seemed there were no limits. Decency and subtlety were often thrown to the wind for the sake of sheer terror and unbridled exploitation. It was a dangerous time that most look upon as a revolution in genre filmmaking. Gone were the sympathetic monsters of yesteryear; hello to the madman hiding under your bed, in your closet, in your head. But, where did this "revolution" come from?

  8. It's a huge episode of Dread Media as Darryll and Desmond sit down and discuss the controversial Deadgirl, Desmond goes solo on Rob Zombie's The Haunted World of el Superbeasto, and then takes on editor Michael Knost's nonfiction Writer's Workshop of Horror and Rue Morgue Magazine's 12th Annual Halloween Spectacular. Tunes include: "Living Dead Girl" and "Superbeast" by Rob Zombie, "Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold, "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance, "Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Iron Maiden, and "Radio" by Alkaline Trio.

  9. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge anime and manga fanatic. But even I know that anime can be incredibly goofy at times. In anime, as with any other genre of media, certain things have a tendency to appear over and over and over and over and over... well, you get the idea. With that said, I give you cliches #100-125 on the Grand List of Anime Cliches and Axioms!

  10. A television producer has big plans for Static ("Showtime"), Daisy falls into a coma after suffering a head wound ("Consequences"), Lil Romeo and Static make a music video together ("Romeo in the Mix"), Specs and Trapper return as costumed villains ("Trouble Squared"), Toyman wants to have sex with a teenage girl ("Toys in the Hood"), and Shebang needs help from Static and Gear to find her abducted parents ("The Parent Trap"). (And no, that line about Toyman is not a mistake or joke.) [ 1:32:17 || 42.3 MB ]

  11. In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond and Darryll sit down and chat about the recent release from Anchor Bay, Grace. Then Desmond goes solo on Killing Ariel. There's a little bit of ranting, a little bit of feedback, a final request for contest entries, and some tunes: "Grace" by Apocalyptica, "Dead Babies" by Alice Cooper, "Used to Love Her" by Guns N Roses, and "People Who Died" by The Jim Carroll Band. RIP Jim Carroll. [ 1:10:45 || 32.6 MB ]
