After announcing a short hiatus for the boys, Desmond thought it wouldn't be prudent to leave you guys podcastless when there's perfectly good audio sitting around the Dropped D compound! So, presented for your approval, a piece of audio first published this past April as part of Earth-2.net: The Show's episode 500 celebration of all that is Superman. Desmond and Damien break format to do an interesting survey of eight songs featuring Superman in title or content. Hear Desmond's unceasing frustration at this barrage of 90s buffoonery. More importantly, this is where the Spin Doctors nonsense really got legs. Please be patient for a new show soon! [ 1:05:27 || 31.7 MB ]

The Doctor and Rose uncover a conspiracy aboard a news-gathering space station, while Adam does stuff before being dumped back home ("The Long Game"). Then Rose saves her father's life, and, in the process, nearly destroys all of creation ("Father's Day"). Also, Dan and Mike have plenty to say about the tenure of Russell T. Davies thus far.

The man with the ginger hair returns to Earth-2.net: The Show to discuss the men in black. Specifically, Men in Black II and III. (For a complete look at Ian's coverage of the Men in Black franchise, listen to Earth-2.net: The Show 198, in which he spoke about the original film.) [ 26:30 || 13.0 MB ]

Dave and Ian cover two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Sarcophagus," the Liberator encounters an ancient space tomb that isn't as dead as it should be because, you guessed it, Cally is telepathically possessed. In "Ultraworld," the crew encounters an artificial planet and a gigantic computer that can only be defeated through the medium of limericks. Which episode is so bad it's Web-esque? How much much fun can you have in Vegas when your parents are accountants? What is the color of technology-based evil? Why is Dave channelling the spirit of Marvin Gaye? These and many other questions are answered. [ 2:04:43 || 60.3 MB ]

This week, Desmond and Darryll discuss Britain's swinging 70s, lesser soap operas, and the nature of hot sisters in their review of Virgin Witch. Then Devil Dinosaur, Jr. foams at the mouth, in a good way, over Israeli horror film Rabies. There's some sexy witchy rabid tunes aplenty: "Naked Witch" by Danzig, "Virgin Witch" by Rob Zombie, "Into the Woods" by Silkworm, and "Sunset Babies (All Got Rabies)" by Alice Cooper.

Big Damn Heroes has hit episode 29, and Angel would like you to repeat what you just called him, please. On both Buffy and Angel, the season plots get rolling, questions are answered sooner than you would expect, and there's a definite sense of the calm before the storm before things get into the shit, as they say. Join Hannah and Will (and Miss Kitty Fantastico) as they cover Buffy's "No Place Like Home" and "Family," and Angel's "Dear Boy" and "Guise Will be Guise." [ 1:03:58 || 31.0 MB ]

All aboard the Dread Media train as Desmond and Darryll finally review the classic Horror Express. Devil Dinosaur, Jr. gets his ticket stamped with a Stay Scary about the apocalyptic subway horror film End of the Line. And what else do you think about when you think trains? Red lights, right? I'm trying, sue me! In a brand new Macabre Musical Theatre, Tom Deja raps his way through his thoughts on the psychological thriller Red Lights. Tunes on this Trans-Siberian journey: "Black Train" by The Moistboyz, "Train of Flesh" by Turbonegro, "Last Train to Satansville" by Swervedriver, and "Red Light in my Eyes, Pt. 1" by Children of Bodom.

This is not the best episode in the world; this is just an intermission. After talking about some recent punk rock releases and music-based video games, Desmond and Damien dive into the now classic 1994 Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black. Hear them talk about the state of heavy metal at the time, drop hints on which of the bands are on Desmond's list of future Dropped D fodder, and discuss tribute album etiquette. Trivia time! Which member of the original Sabbath line-up does not appear on the record, but not for lack of trying? Just what does the Mustaine Signal encompass? You better flash it if Al Jourgensen is about to punch you and if you want Dave Mustaine and his taxi to drive up and save you! All this and an Internet first! You're welcome. Kick your almond habit and start listening! [ 1:37:01 || 47.0 MB ]

Of all the things GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra does wrong, Mike's most bothered by the fact that it's trying too hard to be the cartoon without the sense of joy that came with it. Also, what the hell is Joseph Gordon-Levitt doing here? [ 35:55 || 17.6 MB ]

Kellen and James pull off something never thought possible on this podcast: they ccurately compare the scenario of a Mushi-Shi episode to an Adam Sandler movie. Which episode of the five reviewed ("Sunrise Serpant," "Pickers of Empty Cocoons," "Clothes that Embrace the Mountain," "String from the Sky," and "A Sea of Writings") is it, and what movie could possibly be compared to this show? All the answers, and a Winnipeg weather update, are concealed within. [ 37:49 || 18.5 MB ]

Much like he did prior to his review of GI Joe: The Movie, Mike puts the world into context and explains why the mature, more-realistic GI Joe: Resolute is needed in this day and age. He also gushes about its writer: Warren Ellis. [ 34:45 || 17.0 MB ]

Before discussing GI Joe: The Movie, Mike puts the franchise into context. Specifically, he examines why it was needed in the 1980s, and what children of a certain age took away from it. Then he gets into the movie, which is flawed to the core but so much fun! Also, a mind-blowing discovery is made: this isn't a GI Joe cartoon, but something else entirely. [ 39:03 || 19.2 MB ]

GI Joe Week continues as the Grumpy Old Fans go through three Marvel-era issues of GI Joe: A Real American Hero (#1, #21, and #50) and three IDW-era issues (#155 1/2, #177, and #178). How do Dan and Mike feel about Larry Hama changing the focus of the series from the Joes to ninjas, just how violent are the comics compared to the cartoon, and does the silent issue deserve the praise it's received throughout the years? There's only one way to find out, and you know what that is! [ 2:13:30 || 64.6 MB ]

This week, Desmond takes off his glasses and rips open his shirt to a themed episode based on comics and comic book-influenced material! First up, Desmond and Darryll review the Tinto Brass-directed thriller influenced by Italian comic artist Guido Crepax: Deadly Sweet. Then Devil Dinosaur, Jr. stays scary discussing the Italian comic adaptation Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. Desmond reviews a truly unique superhero novel from Canadian author Rio Youers: Westlake Soul before diving in to review the following comics: Night Force #3, Dial H #1, and the trade collection of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode. There's plenty of super-tunes as well: "I Don't Wanna Be (a Superhero)" by Roadrunner United featuring Michael Graves, "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies, "Cry of the Banshee" by Brocas Helm, "Surfin' Dead" by The Cramps, "Superhero" by Anthrax, and "Supernaut" by Black Sabbath.

GI Joe Week is finally here, and, to kick things off, Dan and Mike spend two hours fondly remembering, laughing, and then griping about the creation, rise, and fall of the GI Joe: A Real American Hero line of action figures. [ 2:02:25 || 59.2 MB ]

Episode 30
in Big Damn Heroes
Posted
Episode 30 is striding into town amid a backdrop of flames, and goddamn, things are getting awesome. And heart-wrenching. Did I mention the heart-wrenching? 'Cause that's coming down the tunnel, fast. However, for now, there is Spike kicking the ass of Not Pam Grier, the Master showing up for some awesome cameos, Angel pretending to be a swinging vamp in a good old fashioned heist movie, and Riley's one-episode closer to leaving the show! WHOOOOOO! Join Hannah and Will as they cover Buffy's "Fool for Love" and "Shadows," and Angel's "Darla" and "The Shroud of Rahmon." [ 1:32:41 || 44.8 MB ]
