Your host doesn't like being around a lot of people. He's pretended to be sick so he doesn't have to go to parties before. So naturally, it makes sense to cover some mob mentality films.

Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a straightedge look at Class of 1984. There's punk tunes to be had as well, jerk! But I'm not going to tell you what they are because that's so mainstream... oh, you expected me to say that...

"Sad Dark Eyes" by The...

Warning: The following podcast is not responsible if your earbuds are telling you to do... terrible things. Desmond and Duane devote this episode to the discussion of the epic highs and the brutal, crushing stupidity of the first three films in the Amityville Horror series. Discussed are The Amityville Horror, Amityville II: The Possession, and Amityville 3-D. Well, they try to discuss the third f...

Brace yourselves! It's the first episode of Dread Media produced on the brand new computer you, the listeners, helped to buy! So, naturally (and so completely randomly and unintentionally we don't even mention it in the audio of the show itself) we chose a film to kick off the show that tells you not to trust technology. Duane and Desmond review a modern apocalyptic masterpiece, The Signal. Then,...

It's a last minute Roadkill Review this week as Darryll and Desmond check out Guillermo del Toro's latest flick, Pacific Rim. Then, because he has changed the topic for this week's episode three times in the past four days, Devil Dinosaur Jr. punishes Desmond by reviewing a film that's very difficult to say: Karate-Robo Zaborgar. It's giant robot action, baby! All this, plus your feedback and the...

This week, there's a selection of 1970s films and modern comic books. Jeff joins Desmond to review The Town that Dreaded Sundown.

Join us to celebrate 300 episodes of Dread Media as we pay tribute to the Godfather of Italian Genre Cinema: Mario Bava!

To kick things off, the boss himself, Michael David Sims, joins us to talk about Black Sunday. Then Adam, Jeff, and Luke stop by t...

It seems we pay tribute to the great HP Lovecraft every few months or so here on Dread Media. It's simply a testament to the impact he's had on the genre.

First, Jeff and Luke join Desmond to look at the classic Re-Animator. Then De...
