Earth-2.net Presents...

Divisive drummers, no one's favorite Betty Rubble, and the one and only Brian Blessed dominate the discussion as Christian and Donovan tackle Tarzan - widely regarded as the final entry in Disney's renowned Renaissance (as well as one leaps and bounds better than its source material).

We recently lost character actor Treat Williams, pulp villain and WB-dad par excellence. To pay tribute, we look at two of his many contributions to midnight movie culture: the zombie buddy cop horror comedy Dead Heat from 1988 and 1998's Indiana Jones and the Luxury Ocean Liner Full of Tentacle Monsters, or Deep Rising!

Twenty-five years after its initial release, Christian and Emma reflect the latter's favorite Disney film: Mulan! Together, the two discuss how the film is both of its time and ahead of its time, along with dragons, drugs, and dishonorable spin-offs.

What theatrical form gives you the opportunity to express your emotions, delve into philosophy, and achieve classic status more effectively than the rock opera? Asking for a friend. While you ponder that, give a listen as we go over a couple of tentpoles of the genre with 2008's Repo! The Genetic Opera alongside Ken Russell's 1975 adaptation of The Who's Tommy!

Great Caesar's ghost! The Viking Volcano and The Tennessee Tornado are back to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Hercules - the closest thing to a Superman film within Disney animation's cinematic odyssey! Is the film's irreverent, modernized telling of the hero's life and labors its greatest superpower, its creative kryptonite, or a bit of both? Plus, Christian and Donovan muse over what the...

The comic book movie boom of the 1990s was responsible for some classics, probably, but here we're looking at the best in cardboard spaceships and Lori Petty turned up to 11. Settle in for 1994's unreleased Roger Corman masterwork The Fantastic Four! We're following that up with basically a Mad Max remake except it's a Jim Carrey movie. It's 1995's Tank Girl! Let loose the Bjork Army! ('90s!) Emai...

Spend your poorly planned trip with us as we dive into 1973's The Wicker Man, then follow that up with 2019's Midsommar! (After that, we just needed to be alone for a while.)

Hot on the heels of Charles III's coronation and armed with the inevitable Star Wars references, Christian and Tom appraise Disney's big and bold, Elton John-, Hans Zimmer-, and Zulu choir-infused cinematic juggernaut The Lion King! Do its themes, songs, performances, and visuals still resonate through the ages, or does its roar now ring hollow nearly 30 years after its initial release?
