Sometimes something is so bad it's good. Well, that's the case with these four hilariously bad Superman Power Records: Alien Creatures, Weatherspoon's Catalyst, PO Box 65, and Mystery of the Mad Minnows. [ 49:45 || 23.2 MB ] The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/theshow/episodes/e2ts_328.mp3

Sometimes it's good to see familiar names, other times it's not. This issue sees the return of writer Kelley Puckett — who wrote the first three issues of The Batman Adventures — but this time he has to follow Martin Pasko's plot. Let's see if he can faithfully do so without committing character assassination. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/c/dc/dcau/batman-adventures-05

It's a Clive Barker extravaganza to celebrate the 100th episode of Dread Media. And some of Desmond Reddick's friends have stopped by to lend a hand. In no particular order, Tom and Derrick from Better in the Dark discuss the three films directed by Clive Barker: Hellraiser, Nightbreed, and Lord of Illusions. Darryll and Desmond sit down to discuss Candyman. Brother D debuts the new segment on horror film scores with Des, What Music They Make, on the scores for the three films Barker directed. DW returns to deliver a Brainscan on two Clive Barker games, The Undying and Jericho. And Desmond goes over his Top 5 Novels and Top 5 Short Stories by Mr. Barker, presents some interesting audio from the man himself, and produces three Dying in the Gutters segments on the comics for Hellraiser, Nightbreed, and the Razorline. Plus the following featured songs: "Hellraiser" by Motorhead, "Magic Moments" by Erasure, "Razorblade Kiss" by HIM, "Helen's Theme" by Philip Glass, and "Hollywood Babylon" by The Misfits. It's more than two and a half hours of Barker goodness! [ 2:34:55 || 71.1 MB ] The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/dreadmedia/episodes/dreadmedia_100.mp3

People have many different opinions when it comes to the Final Fantasy series. To some, the games are the best titles ever made, and form one of the finest franchises to ever exist. To others, they're trite, boring, and the stories are so unstructured and nonsensical it removes any possible emotion that the fans claim is the bread and butter of the series.
