Hey, an Actor! returns to profile one of the biggest female box office draws of the 1980s: Sigourney Weaver. Starting with Pandy's first experience of the original franchise that made her name, The Brothers Wilson critically discuss Alien and the qualities it had before the subsequent influence of James Cameron. Then Ian gushes about Kevin Kline after watching the Ivan Reitman political comedy Dave for the first time, before the hosts reminisce about spot-on sci-fi fandom spoof Galaxy Quest. Someone's Flickchart is updated over the course of the discussion, and a new documentary series starring GeekPlanetOnline.com's Dave Probert is planned out on his behalf! [ 3:07:22 || 90.3 MB ]

This week we kick off Siegetember with the grand-daddy of modern siege films as Desmond and Aaron Allen discuss John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid gives us a short history of Star Trek fan films as he celebrates 50 years of Trek in his review of the fan film Star Trek: Renegades. If you're locked inside, you might want some tunes to keep you company: "The Windows" by John Carpenter, "Pigs Will Pay (All Cops Are Bad, You Know)" by Propagandhi, "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys, and "The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria" by Mary Shelley Overdrive.

Ian and Dave find themselves in something of a narrative wasteland with the three episodes of Twin Peaks they are covering this month. In episode 19, Cooper's search for a cabin to buy leads him directly to Jean Renault's hideout, Boring Mike finds himself humiliated in front of the wrestling team by Nadine, and Ben grows ever more eccentric. In episode 20, Major Briggs is debriefed after his return from the White Lodge, Denise goes undercover with Ernie to get the evidence to clear Cooper but things go wrong, and it leads to a final confrontation between Cooper and Renault. In episode 21, the widow of Dougie Milford is held at gunpoint by the Mayor, Leo Johnson wakes up in a foul mood, and Wydham Earle steps out of the shadows. They also recast scenes with actors from the Carry On films, marvel at the presence of David Warner doing not very much, and brave the terror of Jeddy! [ 2:33:05 || 55.1 MB ]

This week, Dread Media again dives into the "weird heroes" realm. This time it's an all-Miike edition as Takashi Miike has his own little corner of weird cinema nailed down. First up, Desmond and Darryll reckon with his "family-friendly" superhero otaku film Zebraman. Then, they look at the decidedly un-family-friendly creepy prequel Ichi-1. Here are some weird hero songs: "Heroes" by Celtic Frost, "Heroes from Our Past" by Dropkick Murphys, "Street Fighting Man" by Rage Against the Machine, and "Hero of the Soviet Union" by The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Then, Desmond unearths a previously thought lost review of the underground subway Canadian cult shocker End of the Line with Brittney and Jeff from 2011! Of course, as always, there is music: "Everyone I Went to High School with Is Dead" by Mr. Bungle, "High School Murder Case" by Kou Nakagawa, "End of the Line" by Pain, and "Well of Despair" by Skeletonwitch.

This week, Chris and Desmond sit down to discuss a season of television. But fear not, it's about Preacher, and the review is from the perspective of a fan of the comic and someone who has never read it. Then, Duane joins Desmond to discuss the latest Artsploitation Films release: The Perfect Husband. And, of course, there's music: "Blasphemy is a Blast for Me" by Party Time, "The Preacher" by Mercyful Fate, "Wifebeater" by Murdock, and "God Called in Sick Today" by AFI. [ 1:29:19 || 43.1 MB ]

Then, Desmond and Duane review the brand new Bed of the Dead, a film about a bed that kills people. Finally, Rich the Monster Movie Kid proves it's better late than never when he throws his hat in last week's anthology ring with Amicus Films' Torture Garden. Even most of the music is a throwback this week: "Almost Human" by Kiss, "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Blue Oyster Cult, "Death Bed" by Patton Oswalt, "The Tell-tale Heart" by The Alan Parsons Project, and "Dethbed" by Alkaline Trio.

Welcome to a very special episode of Dread Media. The Unseen, a locally produced sci-fi / body horror film, is the toast of Fantasia Film Festival, and this episode is dedicated entirely to it. First up, writer / director Geoff Redknap talks all about the triumphs and troubles while filming the movie as well as his history in make-up effects stemming back 20 years. Then, an interview with the art director on the film: Darryll Doucette. Yeah, that's right. That Darryll Doucette. Of course, you gotta know what the stink is, so Duane and Desmond review the film, and Rich sticks to the theme of invisibility with his review of the best of the original Universal Invisible Man sequels: Invisible Agent. Of course, there's music: "Unseen Tormentor" by Early Man, "I'm Invisible Man" by The Meteors, "Invisible Kid" by Metallica, "Invisible Wounds (The Sulutre Mix)" by Fear Factory, "Invisible Empire" by Iron Mask, and "Les Invisible" by Blue Oyster Cult.

The most left-field choice in the history of Hey, An Actor!, Ian and Pandy recover from game show humiliation and invasive surgery, respectively, to look at three entries in the career of Swedish elder statesman Max von Sydow! Shutter Island sees our subject oversee the greater mystery as Leonardo DiCaprio searches for truth within an island-based asylum. Then, Pandy's tolerance for black and white foreign films is tested as von Sydow portrays a chess-playing knight against the embodiment of Death in The Seventh Seal. And the choice of the people is for both Brothers Wilson to check out The Exorcist for the first time, some 12 months after they watched Halloween to decidedly mixed opinions. Along the way, the episode also includes a brand new Pandy Parody, a fan trailer reimagining The Seventh Seal as a romcom, and a plethora of beloved British celebrity mentions, from Seal to the likes of Anthea Turner and Peter Simon. Also, the content of the upcoming Episode 900 of Earth-2.net: The Show is exclusively announced! [ 2:56:51 || 85.3 MB ]

Dave and Ian come to an important turning point in Twin Peaks. In episode 16, Cooper must draw upon everything he has learned in the wake of Maddy's murder in order to stop Bob before he kills again, leading him to a final confrontation which costs Leyland his life. In episode17, the town is left reeling at the news of Leyland's guilt and subsequent death. Cooper prepares to leave Twin Peaks, but an FBI internal affairs investigation halts his departure. In episode 18, a suspended Cooper stands by his actions and finds an ally in DEA agent Denise Bryson. Jean Renault makes his play for One-Eyed Jacks and Cooper's career. They also uncover more of Ian's sordid criminal past in Canada, and Dave's intro to The Log Ian really isn't trying that hard anymore. [ 3:00:59 || 63.5 MB ]

You know, sometimes Dread Media doesn't mess around when it comes to themed episodes. This week, we go all out with anthologies. Desmond and Darryll got together last weekend and took in a theatrical double feature. That double feature spawned the two bookending film reviews they're doing this week. First up, Tales from the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood which included a director / special effects artist / voice actor Q&A the fellas also discuss. Then in a special Stay Scary, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a rundown of his favorite episode of every season of Tales from the Crypt on TV. You had to know that DD Jr. would come with the fire on an anthology episode. Then Desmond goes solo on a review of the brand new literary anthology Borderlands 6 after a short history of the series. Finally, Desmond and Darryll cover the grand-daddy of horror anthology films: Creepshow. There are tunes as well: "Devil's Whorehouse" by The Misfits, "Vampira" by Devin Townsend, "Tales from the Crypt" by Danny Elfman, "Over Borderlands" by Winterfylleth, "Run for Your Life" by The Creepshow, and "My Misery (Demon Knight)" by Machine Head.

It's improbable animal week on Dread Media. Things start off crazy and get even crazier as the show carries on. First up, Desmond and Duane take a look at what happens when a little boy accidentally gets a black mamba in the mail in Venom. Then, keep an eye on your kids because Devil Dinosaur Jr. is at the zoo when an animal rage virus breaks out in Zoombies. Then, one of the most improbably animals of all fights other giant improbably alien animals in the reprehensible Gamera Super Monster. Animalistic tunes headed your way: "Snake Church" by Ringworm, "Iron Mamba" by Skinflint, "I'm an Animal" by Neko Case, "Gamera" by Varga, and "Don't Feed the Animals" by Shooter Jennings.

Episode 59: Jem and the Holograms
in Tranquil Tirades
Posted
Hey, kids, did you know you can get a record deal overnight and become the most famous person in the world just by uploading a single two-minute video of singing and strumming an acoustic guitar to YouTube? (That sound you hear in the background is Damien's white-hot rage becoming sentient.) This month, The Real Protagonists tackle Jem and the Holograms — a movie that no one saw, and is so out of touch with reality, it actually shows a YouTube video being fully uploaded in under 60 seconds.
