In the August edition of Grumpy Old Fans (which is being released in September for some reason), Dan and Mike compare Catwoman (1993) #1 to Gotham City Sirens #24, Savage Dragon (1993) #3 to Fear Itself #3, and Spider-Man 2099 #10 to Ultimate Spider-Man #160.

As a group of immortals sail around our solar system seeking enlightenment, the Black Guardian makes his final move against The Doctor ("Enlightenment"). Then, in an effort to prevent parliamentary democracy from ever forming, The Master attempts to stop King John of England from signing the Magna Carta ("The King's Demons"). As for the two most recent modern episodes of Doctor Who ("The Girl Who...

The temperature's dropping, so it's time for The Guys Outta Brooklyn to review the films they saw from the second half of Summer 2011! Join Tom and Derrick as they discuss a quartet of films, including the blockbusters Captain America and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Plus, what all the other Black Asgardians were doing during the events of Thor, a discussion of podcasting hardware, and why Hous...

Things come to a boiling point for Kellen and James as they continue with the next three episodes of Blue Drop: "Crinum," "Hyoscyamus Niger," and "Laganaria Siceraria." One of these episodes shows the potential the series could have had, while the other two frustrate to no end. Which is which? The answer lies within.

This time, on the long-awaited return of Dying in the Gutters, Chris and Desmond dive into Tomb of Dracula #20-23 and Giant-Size Chillers #1. In this episode, Dracula cock-blocks teenagers, boots dudes in the balls, takes his daughter to a rugby game, and faces off against a super-powered br... I can't say it here. Seriously, why are you reading this? Listen you mortal peon, and pray that you don'...

It seems like a break from the norm is becoming the status quo lately. But the car chase movie is a cult genre unto itself, and Darryll's a big fan. So that's what the boys thought they were going to see in this week's Roadkill Review of Drive. Then Desmond brings it back to horror with a review of the killer car film Super Hybrid. Turn the ignition and tune into WDMP for the following crazy car t...

Alright. I'm just going to put this out there right now. I know you're all excited. First episode of the Mass Effect playthrough. Paragons, renegades, and such. It's good fun for all. That said, this episode does not contain any blue alien sideboob. I repeat: there is no blue alien sideboob. Please back away from the podcast and go quietly. There are other things you should be doing, like watching...

In the first edition of the brand new Waiting for the Trade, Bristol residents Tom Hemmings and Chris Gannon class the segment up by taking a look at the indie comic Love and Capes: Wake Up Where You Are, and the British mainstay Judge Dredd: The Apocalypse War. Between those, though, they cover the good ol' American superhero comic The Thanos Imperative. USA! USA! USA!

Episode 12 is strutting into town like a fresh piece of Watcher. What do stables of psychotic vampires have to do with the perverted fantasies of old British men? What episode does Hannah compare to a classic Twilight Zone episode, and Preston calls a piece of throat-fucking moralizing? Which villain is compared to both Jabba the Hut, and a certain part of the female anatomy? Where does possibly t...

Ian Wilson and Dave Probert return to waffle their way aimlessly through two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Pressure Point," Blake leads an assault on the Federation's computer control centre on Earth, but one of the crew ends up paying the price for Blake's recklessness. In "Trial," Travis faces a war crimes tribunal that is being manipulated by Servalan, and Blake is trapped on a sentient plane...

Chop up a line and bang a groupie! It's a rock n' roll themed episode of Dread Media. The show is co-headlined by reviews of 80s rockabilly masterpiece Streets of Fire and 70s cocaine-fueled rock opera Phantom of the Paradise. Songs from said films include: "Nowhere Fast" and "Tonight is What it Means to be Young" by Fire Inc., and "Phantom's Theme (Full Version)" and "The Hell of it" by Paul Will...

As the hosts continue their Tool retrospective, they go in-depth on their first full-length album: Undertow. This record is full of stuff that we'll see more of on the next venture. Damien steals Desmond's title only seconds into the show, making for a very tense relationship between the two. Perhaps that's why Damien didn't enjoy Desmond's Britney Spears analogy. Or maybe it's because he has no s...

In Teen Titans #6, see Beast Boy try to join the Teen Titans by, well, basically being an ass and running off to join the circus. No, seriously. Plus, Charlie Neimeyer of The Superman in the Bronze Age podcast talks about Carol Ferris, and Aqualad and Kid Flash inspire slash fictioners everywhere!

As The Doctor attempts to save his own life from a small group of undying mutants ("Mawdryn Undead"), and then the lives of those suffering from a leprosy-like disease ("Terminus"), Turlough is introduced as the Black Guardian's sort-of-unwilling lackey / assassin, a retired Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart makes his return, and Nyssa bids the TARDIS and her friends farewell.

The scalpels are out, the body is on the table, and it's time for The Boys Outta Brooklyn to figure out why another media body is on the slab! Join Tom and Derrick as they examine the failure of DC Comics and Warner Brothers to rise to the challenge Marvel has been making towards them for the last few years, and why their bids to create a new franchise - from this summer's generic Green Lantern to...

As Kellen and James continue on with the next three episodes of Blue Drop ("Dahlia Pinnata," "Garden Verbena," and "Campanula"), the duo looks for anything they can enjoy from this show and hold on to it for dear life, as comparisons are made to much better shows like Azumanga Daioh, Rumbling Hearts, and Clone High.

It's time for another edition of Saturday Morning 101 with Dan and Jonathan. This time around they analyze Freakazoid!, the cult classic cartoon created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini!

Put on yer Powers Boothe mask and take yer shirt off! Hunker down with Desmond and Darryll as they take in the Southern Gothic Bill Paxton masterpiece Frailty. Then Desmond goes solo on the woman-centered Canadian film Stained. The following tunes get a spin as well: "Hand of God" by The 69 Eyes featuring Ville Valo, "Peace in the Valley" by Johnny Cash, "Blood Stained" by Judas Priest, and "The D...

This month, the guys take in a viewing of Showgirls. What could possibly be better than a two-and-a-half-hour movie that somehow manages to make naked women boring? How about a three-hour podcast trying to talk about it. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Be excited. Be scared.

Thanks to the events of Flashpoint, the post-Crisis DC Universe is dead. From its ashes rises the DCnU: a younger, forever-changed world! To herald in this momentous moment, DC Comics launched Justice League, the first in a wave of 52 brand new comic books. What did Mike think about Flashpoint #1-5 and Justice League #1, and what does he have to say about the risk DC is taking? There's only one wa...

ARGH! The guys are angry this episode, revealing their top five things they never want to see in gaming again. But that's not all! We also have Aaron doing Ron Jeremy impressions, boxes full of dreams, and a good old fashioned Damien rant.

Episode 11 stumbles into town, and there are crazy bitches, demons, lovesick vampires, and unspeakable evils walking about. Is the Glove of Lagos the Powerglove or the Orgasmoglove, and why is it so baaaaad? Which three characters show up unexpectedly? How sexy is Doppelganger Willow? What does the magic of snow Jesus Christmas have to do with anything? And which of these episodes ranks as a consi...

Closing out his look at the final post-Crisis DC comic books, Mike talks about Batman: Gates of Gotham #5, Batman: The Dark Knight #5, Batman, Inc. #8, Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search for Swamp Thing #3, Gotham City Sirens #26, Green Arrow #15, Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #13, Justice Society of America #54, Teen Titans #100, Wonder Woman #614, Xombi #6, and Action Comics #904.

Dread Reel-ief is back! And the Commonwealth Crew have the daunting task of reviewing the film based on Todd McFarlane's popular comic from the 1990s: Spawn. What do the boys think about it? Ian had to get drunk to review it. Oh yeah, and the world may end before the review is over. There's high stakes, people! Send feedback to: feedback@dreadmedia.net, or 206.203.1213. Join the Facebook group! Fo...

In this episode, Desmond gets drunk and stares at hot Swedish women. One hot Swedish woman in particular: the gorgeous Christina Lindberg. But it's not creepy, because he's joined by DW, right? Anyway, the guys review the classic exploitation flick Thriller: A Cruel Picture. Then Desmond goes solo on Wide Open. Non-Swedish music by: "Stickin' In My Eye" by NOFX, "Thriller" by Aereogramme, "Open Do...
