Earth-2.net Presents...

It's another episode of Cage Dive, so that means it's time for Nic Cage to have something to say about the Vietnam War again!

Desmond and Bryan spend the bulk of this episode tryin...

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom discuss a film Tom worked on, the wild body horror film Rejuvenatrix (or The Rejuvenator). After they discuss the film and what role Tom played in its production, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Movies with a Similar Vibe Volume 5 or whatever. Haha! Enjoy along with these tunes: "Downtown" by Unto Others, "You're Beautiful" by Crowbar Abortion, "Krok...

This week on the show, Desmond and Duane look at an indie folk horror film about a backwoods community enthralled to a pit in the forest: Jug Face. Then, not one to turn down a bizarre theme, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Favorite Pit Stories. Songs from the pit: "Cesspits" by Napalm Death, "Master of the Pit" by Cirith Ungol, "Into the Pit" by Fight, and "Deadly Sinners" by 3 Inches of...

This week, the elevator is broken and you best look out the peephole before opening your doors. Things aren't going well in these apartment buildings.

The usual end of year festivities bring Christian's Casting Challenge,...

It came down to the wire, but your host Desmond Reddick finally watched enough and read enough and enjoyed enough things to deliver a solid Best of 2023 episode! First off: Happy New Year!

Will and Skyler celebrate Christmas with the rarely seen 1995 Muppet's Christmas specials Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree.

Ho Ho Holy Shit, this movie is violent! This year's Christmas Day special of Dread Media sees Duane and Desmond continuing their Christmas tradition with Joe Begos' rampaging robot Santa film Christmas Bloody Christmas. Then, Desmond goes solo on last year's tame violent Santa movie, Violent Night, and the comic book The Naughty List. Your killer carols: "No Presents for Christmas" by Two Minutes...

Christian, Pandy, and Kelly cap off 2023 by revisiting Tim Burton, Henry Selick, and Danny Elfman's dark-yet-delightful The Nightmare Before Christmas - one of the most celebrated stop-motion and holiday films of all time!

This episode, Ian and Pandy turn their ginger heads towards the versatile behemoth Matt Damon! Their three films covered are amnesiac spy thriller The Bourne Identify, space drama The Martian, and his breakout role in Good Will Hunting. Tune in to find out their thoughts, plus: how did Pandy overcome Damon's difficult-to-rhyme name in a new audio delight? Who brings up Keith Harris and Orville the...

We're taking a quick break from our quick break to wish everyone a merry merry and also to scratch that completionist itch. With that, we wrap up the most important trilogy of the 21st century with 2017's A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby! (We're super hyped for the prequels.) With that dragon finally slain, we see out 2023 with a Christmas zombie romantic comedy musical and I'm already exhausted...

This week on the show, a Dread Media favourite, Nicole Cushing returns to talk about her brand new novel The Plastic Priest.

All these songs were released this year: "Mothlike" by...

Taking a break from the official animated canon, Christian, Donovan, and Dan Toland take a U-turn back to 1995 and traverse A Goofy Movie - home to the worst theme park in the country, fiction's greatest pop star, and a surprisingly touching father / son relationship. Along the way, the trio take detours through Goof Troop, the DuckTales reboot, and the Atlanta episode "The Goof Who Sat by the Doo...

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom ring in episode 850 with a review of the Ray Harryhausen classic Clash of the Titans, its 2010 remake, and that remake's sequel Wrath of the Titans.

In the last proper episode of 2023, Christian, Will, and newcomer-to-the-show Skyler Queen descend upon Home on the Range - one of Disney's last and least-loved traditionally animated films.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who and the 15th anniversary of Bigger on the Inside, 15 years to-the-day after Dan and Mike originally discussed "The Daleks," Dave Probert joins them to look at the Peter Cushing movie Dr. Who and the Daleks!

This week on the show, Desmond and Duane make the right choice by not watching all of the Children of the Corn films. Instead they make the still questionable choice to watch the original 1984 film and then the brand new remake. Before all that, Desmond talks a little bit about the original adaptation of Stephen King's short story, the 1983 short film Disciples of the Crow. Songs included: "Discip...

Songs included: "The Vanishing" by Final Gasp, "The Usurper" by Celtic Frost, "The Future Has Been Cancelled" by Dead Cross, and "Vanity" by Bad Religion. Send...

Shady shamans, hapless hunters, and missing megafauna are all the rage as Christian, Pandy, and Kelly explore the now twenty-year-old Brother Bear! Plus: a major tease for a future review, an extended outro and outtake, and bad bear puns galore!

We're at the end of Season Two, and there are still a bunch of musicals on the shelf. What better way to clear some of them out than picking a bunch at random? In so doing, we took a deep dive into the summer of 1984 with Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (don't worry, we'll catch you up with the first one so you don't get lost) and Streets of Fire, starring Willem Dafoe in rubber overalls and a Wolve...

The Brothers Wilson turn the HAA focus on their third Bruce Wayne and the less popular member of his double act with Matt Damon (the subject of our next episode); the Bat-man that is Ben Affleck. Listen in to hear discussion of his reviled action turn in the badly spelt Pearl Harbor, his lead role in the poorly aged Kevin Smith romcom drama Chasing Amy, and his altogether better-received efforts a...

It's been a year, so Skyler and Will are here to discuss Scream VI. Is this the most terrifying call from Ghostface yet or just another film in a franchise? As they try to answer this, they also take time to discuss this year's TIFF, talk Twist Openings, and answer some geeky horror questions. CORE FOUR!

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom continue the tradition of checking out the latest film in the found footage anthology series with V/H/S/85.

To put the cherry on top of this nostalgic trip, every song on this week's show...

This week on the show, our old friend Derek and our new friend Beth join us to discuss what's next for Team Deth, and it turns out that Team Deth is moving to Kuwait to set up the region's first permanent haunted attraction. The best part is that you can follow along on their journey by supporting them at americanhaunters.com. Then Desmond goes solo on a rundown of the things he's watched lately i...

Sailing back to 2002 and returning aboard the HMS Part of Your World, Mixie helps guide Christian through Treasure Planet - the most expensive traditionally animated film of all time and one of Disney's most infamous flops!
