Earth-2.net Presents...

The Midnight Movie Show is back and roughly the same as ever! We're kicking off Season Two with the 1964 film that changed pop culture forever: A Hard Day's Night! (We're here to shine a light on obscure cinema.) After that, the Monkees smash that theatrical self-destruct button with 1968's Head! Fab! Email: info@channel-37.com Twitter: @WHXN37

Season 2 of Channel 37's Midnight Movie Show is coming soon!

This week, Desmond and Tom get a little spoilery in our review of one of the best movies of 2022: The Menu. And, because it's very much a Bentley Little-style story (and title), Desmond follows it up with a discussion of the Prime Video TV adaptation of Bentley Little's novel The Consultant, and a Dread Media Top 5 Bentley Little Adaptations He Wants to See. Songs included: "Hungry for Your inside...

With the studio's Renaissance just over the horizon, the Honore Litter inspect Oliver and Company - Disney's loose, dog-centric, and Eighties-tastic adaptation of Oliver Twist. Plus, Christian puts out a call for feedback ahead of the next episode, while the orange-cat-owning and in-no-way-biased Emma learns about the original Dickens novel's anti-Semitism for the very first time.

This week, Desmond and Tom investigate the case of the two movies from 2022 featuring West Point Cadet Edgar Allan Poe. First up is the not optimal but incredibly well-cast Netflix film The Pale Blue Eye. Then it's time to take a look at Shudder's folk horror / monster movie mashup Raven's Hollow. This week we have a selection of songs inspired by Edgar Allan Poe arranged from least abrasive to mo...

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom sit through the absolutely misguided 2022 French Canadian remake of Terror Train. Then, Desmond seems to think it's a good idea to cover that film's sequel, Terror Train 2, and the original film that started it all. Train tunes: "Murdertrain a Comin'" by Dethklok, "Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?" by The Monkees, "Black Train" by Moistboyz, "Train of Con...

Bat jump-scares, Rube Goldberg death machines, and the inimitable Vincent Price are the order of the day as Christian and Ian revisit The Great Mouse Detective - an overlooked gem from one of Disney's darkest periods, and one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes adaptations of all time!

Nothing sounds quite like an 8-0-8! And we're going analogue this week. First up, Desmond and Tom check rent the next instalment in the V/H/S series, V/H/S/99. Then, Desmond goes solo on the very divisive Skinamarink, and he very definitively comes down on one side of the argument. Three out of four of these songs were released in 1999: "Surfacing" by Slipknot, "I'm The Slime" by Frank Zappa and T...

After seven long years, our old friend Jeff Strand has returned to chat about some of the multitude of books he's published since we last talked. The two books of focus are his brand new novel, Demonic, and his book on pre-order, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Novelization. Yes, you read that right. Then, Jeff sticks around and we do a Double Dread Media Top 5 Jeff Strand Books. Jeff picks his...

Already smack dab in the middle of the 1980s, Christian and first-time cohost Dave Probert brave The Black Cauldron - one of Disney's most infamous flops, as well as one of its darkest films. Does the songless saga transcend its familiar fantasy trappings and hellish production, or is it rightly regarded as a low point in the studio's output? Plus, between the review and the wrap-up, Donovan chime...

This week on the show, Desmond and Duane finally sit down to talk about the horror comedy Hell Baby. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Killer Baby Movies which is way harder than you think it is. Songs included: "Drinking about my baby" by The Damned, "Burn Baby" by L7, "Rosemary's Baby" by Fantomas, and "Sleep Tight Little Baby" by King Diamond. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gma...

Everyone at the Channel 37 Home Office is still on a beach somewhere, but that doesn't mean we aren't still watching goofy shit. The gang comes together to present 1966's Rat Pfink A Boo Boo, winner of the Cannes Etoile de platine award for Outstanding Achievement in Not Being a Typographical Error! Email: info@channel-37.com Twitter: @WHXN37

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom present a double feature of adjective-titled films from 2022. First up, in Glorious, a man is stuck in a public bathroom with an elder god who speaks to him through the gloryhole. Then, in Monstrous, Christina Ricci shines in a movie that doesn't. Songs included: "Sweet Evil Sun" by Candlemass, "The Glorious End" by Paradise Lost, "Mother" by Danzig, and "Bad...

Between bickering over key plot points and inadvertently reenacting a major disagreement the film's creators had, Christian and Emma dissect The Fox and the Hound - the first animated Disney film released during the 1980s, the one which prompted Don Bluth's exit from the company, and the first Kurt Russell-, Mickey Rooney-, or Corey Feldman-starring film either host saw. Is it cruelly overlooked o...

Gaspar Noe has always been a provocative filmmaker, and this week Desmond and Duane are checking out his latest provocative film, Lux Aeterna. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Gaspar Noe Films (really, the five other Noe films he's seen in order from worst to best). Songs included: "Lux Aeterna" by Metallica, "Lux Aeterna" by Gyorgy Ligeti, "Ride the Void" by Holy Grail, and "The End...

This week, filmmaker Jason Eisener joins us to talk about his brand new sci fi / horror film, Kids vs Aliens, and a little bit about Dark Side of the Ring and Tales From the Territories. Then we do a Jason Eisener-themed Dread Media Top 5. Songs included: "Abduction" by Macabre, "After the Gold Rush" by Trio, "Stabbed to Death Outside San Juan" by The Mountain Goats, and "Patient Number 9" by Ozzy...

The Brothers Wilson proudly bring you Hey, An Actor's end of year episode for 2022, with the featured subject being comedy legend Mel Brooks! Taking in both The Producers and Blazing Saddles, Ian and Pandy discuss America's divergent Axis Powers focus, Carry On films, and The One Show. And of course, this episode brings about the regular favorites of Christian's Casting Challenge, The Archivist's...

There's no case too big, or case too small. When you need help, just call. Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Da. Wait. Those rodents and that insect haven't teamed up yet? Setting this and other disappointments aside, Christian and newcomer-to-the-show Will Ackerman open 2023 by reviewing The Rescuers - featuring Bob Newhart, the villainess who would be Cruella, some rather unfortunate country tags, and yes, that...

This week, Desmond and Duane take a look at the superpowered prison film Corrective Measures. It's a Tubi Original that will end up being one of Bruce Willis' last roles, and it's good?! Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Fictional Prisons. Tunes included: "The Prisoner" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Take No Prisoners" by Megadeth, "Folsom Prison Blues (live from Folsom Prison)" by Johnny C...

Happy New Year! As has become tradition, we usher in the New Year with an annual "best of" episode. So this week, grab a drink or seven and join me as I run down my top books, television, podcasts, comics, movies, and other releases of 2022. We have some hopes for 2023 to talk about as well. As always, the episode is scored by music from Dread Media's favorite albums of the year. Bring on 2023! Se...

In the first episode of 2023, Dan and Mike look at the short-lived Birds of Prey TV show from 2002, then they gush over Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Dan and Mike provide a commentary track for one of the wildest episodes of GI Joe: A Real American Hero: "Cold Slither," the Reagan-era anti-metal episode that is somehow actually metal AF. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

In the last episode of 2022 and the first swear-free one so far, Christian and Donovan get reacquainted with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - one of Disney's most beloved and faithful adaptations of a literary property. (Also, Christian mixes up Galactus and Thanos. Oh bother.)

The three-part project of the 2022 Greatest Britons culminates with Ian and Tom revealing the ultimate list of their 100 Greatest Britons, the ones who just missed out, and the entrants from 2002 who didn't have a hope in Hell of remaining on the ballot 20 years later. We learn which entries inspired the hosts to do more research, and exactly to what end the 2022 picks are more enlightened in term...

Thanks to Donovan Morgan Grant we have three roundtable interviews with the cast and creators of Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm: 1. Dana Snyder and Carey Means, 2. Dave Willis, and 3. Matt Maiellaro. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.
