On this episode of Animezing Podcast, Kellen is still scratching his head a bit as he joins Randy Forbister to review the first three episodes of <i>FLCL</i> (<i>Fooly Cooly</i>). But for all the head-scratching of horns, robots, Vespas, and giant steam-producing factories, the two can agree on one thing: this stuff is good.

We're doing it for the kids this week! Since all my other co-hosts are completely inappropriate, a slightly less inappropriate guest host named Jeff Strand joins us to talk about his sorta-kinda kids' book Fangboy, and his young adult splatter novel A Bad Day for Voodoo. Then, in a very special Growing Up Geek, Desmond is joined by his sons Cade and Davin to talk about a Reddick family favorite: The Monster Squad! But wait, there's more! Desmond goes solo on the painfully bad Spanish kids versus monster romp Buenas Noches, Senor Monstruo. Kid friendly tunes: "Kids in America" by Bloodhound Gang, "Waiting for a Bad Day for Voodoo" by Trevor Strong, "Rock Until You Drop" by Michael Sembello, "Buenas Noches, Senor Monstruo" by Regaliz, and "The Kids Who Wanna Play with the Dead" by Lordi.

"Planet of Fire" and "The Caves of Androzani" bring Peter Davison's era to an end with "the best story of the 48 year history of <i>Doctor Who</i>," a truly emotional performance, and a stunning regeneration. Before Davison leaves, however, we also say goodbye to Turlough and Kamelion, and hello to Peri.

Flame shields activate! In this episode of Extra Lives, Aaron and Damien are a bunch of meany-heads, sharing the top five games most people love that they hate. Well, hate is probably a bit strong. Intense apathy is what we prefer. We also promise this is the only podcast you'll listen to this week that features both David Bowie and demonic menstruation. Well, probably. We're not here to judge.

It's the Heroes' Sweet 16(th episode), and the gaping chasm of quality between <i>Angel</i>'s first season and <i>Buffy</i>'s fourth only seems to grow with each episode. Which of these series is getting really good at doing the Creep? How quickly can you get drunk off of the Can We Please Stake Harmony game? And which returning character provides one of the greatest moments of these four episodes? Join Hannah and Preston as they cover <i>Buffy</i>'s "In the Harsh Light of Day" and "Fear Itself," and <i>Angel</i>'s "In the Dark" and "I Fall to Pieces."

In this episode, Desmond and Darryll dive into the two-disc Blu-ray Ultimate Edition of Lucio Fulci's Zombie from Blue Underground. Then Desmond makes a case for the modern Canadian giallo Faces in the Crowd. Songs included: "Zombies March!" and "Zombie" by GWAR, "Forgotten Faces" by Avenged Sevenfold, and "Time to Die" by Hank Williams III. RIP Cory Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus.

Coming off Tool's magnum opus, Desmond and Damien bid farewell to the band, for now, by covering their misguided and much-awaited most recent release, 10,000 Days. In this episode, Desmond makes several puns so bad that Damien verbally winces. It was all for him! But that's suitable, because while the boys have been on point for much of their coverage of Tool, this is their most divergent record to date! Also, Damien makes his peace with Indian percussionists, but then Desmond goes and puts his foot in his mouth. Then they cover some feedback and choose the next band!

As the guys speed to the end of Peter Davison's era as The Doctor, both the violence and quality of the series begins to pick up. In "Frontios," despite his reservations, The Doctor comes to the aid of an Earth colony besieged by weaponized meteorite showers. Then in "Resurrection of the Daleks," Davros is freed by his creations because they need him to cure a deadly virus, but it all leads to a Dalek civil war. And the ensuing carnage, bloodshed, and death causes Tegan to flee from her life with The Doctor.

Birdemic. Yup. This happened. One of our hosts loves it, one of them hates it, and the other is too tired to really have much of an opinion either way. It's a movie that has more to do with the perils of awkward romance and the evils of global warming than evil birds. So enjoy that.

I'm going to need to see your license, registration, and earbuds. This episode, themed around law and order, has Desmond and Darryll reviewing the Blu-ray release of Maniac Cop. Then Desmond goes solo on the true crime documentary Pig Farm, and weirdo crime flick South of Heaven. A little bit of cop rock for ya: "It's the Law" by Social Distortion, "Police Truck" by Dead Kennedys, "Pig House" by The Melvins, "South of Heaven" by Slayer, and "I am the Law" by Anthrax.

As the trio make their way towards the end of the second season, it appears the fans have decided their next series in an entertaining batch of e-mails. Then the gang gets to work in reviewing "Appa's Lost Days", "Lake Laogai" and "The Earth King."

It's two episodes for the price of one! Aaron and Damien make up for the delay with a double episode chock full of things that you're guaranteed to love. Unless you're someone that doesn't like video games and / or podcasts. For everyone else, there's a double-sized Box segment, the finale of the Mass Effect playthrough, and premonitions of the apocalypse. At least Ashley's a bigot.

See that guy up there? He's Batman. And episode 15 of Big Damn Heroes just got a bit more Horrible, thanks to a certain lovely lady in the intro. Also, a lot more Shakespearian, with the announcement of a new Whedon project that has both the Heroes squeeing. What do Preston and Hannah find more appealing: the opening episodes of Buffy's fourth season, or the first two episodes of Angel? And who's big pimpin'? Tune in as the Heroes cover "The Freshman" and "Living Conditions" on Buffy, and "City of" and "Lonely Hearts" on Angel!

In this massive episode so big and in a week so fraught with emotional stress, Desmond forgets to mention his hiccups in the film review, and Chris Johnson brings an interview with Kurtis J. Wiebe about his new Image Comics horror series, Green Wake. Then Desmond and Darryll review the legendarily bad film Zombie Lake, and Desmond goes solo on the TV show Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. It's almost two hours of horror-podcasting goodness! Tunes included: "Green Hell" by The Misfits, "White Zombie" by Manimals, "The Lake" by King Diamond, "The Book of Heavy Metal (March of the Metalians)" by Dream Evil, and "Pure Evil" by The Meteors.

Strap in, folks. Damien is about to swing on the spiral and go all Tool Nerd on your asses! In a review that spans almost twice as long as the actual album, the two hosts go over Tool's Lateralus. Get out your graphing calculators, you might need them. Also, Damien mentions the name of a band so heretical to mention on an episode dedicated to the sacrosanct musical opus of his favorite band, that Desmond is compelled to censor it. But is Lateralus an album or a piece of sophisticated Apokoliptian technology? Obviously Damien and Desmond liked the album, but what does Keanu Reeves think? Not to mention Riverdale's astrophysics, the Yngwie Malmsteen count hits two, analogies throughout all of pop culture, and all of life's little mysteries are answered within.

The Commonwealth Crew get all British on your arse this week as they talk about Peter Cushing and Joan Collins in a review of the 1972 Amicus anthology film Tales from the Crypt! Don't fuck with Ian's rose garden. That's not a ginger euphemism, by the way. [ 42:29 || 20.6 MB ] The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/dreadmedia/episodes/dreadmediapresents_019.mp3

With Halloween just around the corner, it is once again time for Kellen and James to bring you the 3rd annual commentary of the Hellsing Ultimate OVA series.
