It's a Peanuts Valentine Retrospective, Charlie Brown! Skyler and Will celebrate Valentine's Day by discussing four Peanuts specials that have more than a bit of melancholy. Along the way, they find much to admire about one member of the cast, discuss a special focusing on a character you wouldn't expect, and realize the true versatility of spray cans.

This week on Dread Media, once again we talk to Darren Lynn Bousman of Saw sequel fame. This time we discuss his brand new nunsploitation film St. Agatha, and his augmented reality game / narrative.

Songs included: "Nuns Gave No Fun" by Mercyful Fate, "Tension Head" by Queens of the Stone A...

Today you are in for an absolute treat, as Dan and Mike are here to discuss not one but two Fantastic Four movies. Which ones you ask?

Then, Tom Deja comes by again to review the Groundhog Day-esque horror film Happy Death Day. Tunes:...

We say goodbye to Action January with a double feature of reviews that cover films that look at the hunting of humans. Desmond and Tom first take a look at John Woo's Netflix debut: Manhunt.

Also, there are songs: "On the Run" by Cerebral Ballzy, "Fugitive" by Halford, "Model Ci...

The Edge of Forever enters a new era as Dave Probert joins Dan and Mike for a discussion of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

This week on Dread Media, we have a real treat for you. For possibly the first time in the history of the show, we present a feature review that doesn't have Desmond in it. But Desmond is ridiculously proud to present a Roadkill Review of M. Night Shyamalan's Glass by the hosts of one of his all-time favorite movie podcast hosts: Derrick Ferguson and Tom Deja. Don't fear, Desmond comes back to rev...

Donovan Morgan Grant joins Mike to discuss Batgirl: Year One, Barbara Gordon's amazingly retold origin story from 2003.

This week on Dread Media, action month continues as Desmond and Tom discuss the Belgian homage to Italian Westerns and poliziottesco films: Let the Corpses Tan. But it is bookended first by Desmond reviewing and then giving away a copy of Halloween (2018) to one lucky Facebook Group member, and a story of real-life road rage that almost led to bloodshed just this weekend. There are songs: "Hallowe...

In this brief update, Mike asks for AMA-style questions to be read during the intro of The Show. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

This week, kick off the New Year with some action films in Action January. Or Action Jacksonuary? I'm working on it. First up, Darryll and Desmond not seeing each other for a long time is the disease and a ridiculously drunk review of Sylvester Stallone's Cobra is the cure. Only, they spend more time talking about Rocky than Cobra. Regardless, it's fun. Finally, someone sober comes along and stick...

The gas gives Jeffery the ability to instantly heal from any injury. So, naturally, he is offered a job working for the gover...

In this patron-suggested episode, Dan and Mike look at a classic comic book series that was long overdue for coverage on Earth-2.net: The Show. It's time to discuss the first six issues of the epic 12-part Squadron Supreme limited series! What themes does it touch upon that later comic books would get credit for, what makes it just as relevant now as it was in 1985, and how can you want the good g...

This week, help Desmond bury 2018's bloated, horrible corpse in the back yard as he gives a State of the Podcast (as well as himself) before running down the year's best in books, comics, movies, and music. The music played on this episode comes from the top five records of the year, so you'll have to listen to find out! Happy New Year, Dreadites! Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com. Fol...

Fresh from their one-month hiatus in order that Pandy could properly double the children he is responsible for, what better way for The Brothers Wilson to round off International Year than with acclaimed Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki! The customary two films for them to explore this December are 2001 worldwide hit Spirited Away, and iconic 1988 ghost-cat / rabbit epic My Neighbor Toto...

Will and Dan take a look at some classic holiday sitcom episodes, when they're not going over the city of Boston's fascination with Shelley Long, building the Hasbro Cinematic Universe from the ground up, or gushing about a 90s children's show in a way that will surprise no one who's ever paid any attention to Dan.
