The Brothers Wilson finally dive into world cinema as part of International Year, as they look at actress, martial artist, and Bond girl Michelle Yeoh. From the nuanced performance in the lead role of Aung San Suu Kyi biopic The Lady to West-pleasing wire-fu action flick Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the all-out insanity of 1980s Hong Kong martial arts movie Yes, Madam, this month's selectio...

This week, Dread Media has two feature reviews of young women giving very raw, commanding performances. First, Darryll and Desmond are shocked and enraptured by the amazing Isabelle Adjani in the disturbing Possession. Then, Tom Deja joins Desmond again to marvel at how amazingly well 16-year-old Sandra Escacena carries the film Veronica. On top of that, there's music: "Get Possessed" by Polkadot...

Armed only with coffee, donuts, and a phantom mic stand, Pandy and Christian tackle one of their broadest topics yet: the police.

In this, the very first episode of Earth-2.net: The Show in the post-Episode 1000 Era, Dan and Mike sit down to discuss The Spirit. Wait! Don't run away! Not the 2008 pile of garbage written and directed by Frank Miller. But rather the 1987 made-for-TV pilot starring Flash Gordon, Major Kira Nerys, Veronica Clare, Professor Moriarty, not-Charles Napier, and Leon / Mondo. This fun mixture of light...

This week, we have two great reviews of movies that weren't quite great. First, our old friend Tom Deja stops by to review a film that was surprisingly dropped on Netflix after the Super Bowl: The Cloverfield Paradox. And we learn that maybe there was a reason for such marketing magic. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid dips his toe into Euro-sleaze, and he's not sure he likes it in his review of Th...

This episode of Dread Media focuses on a mid-level 1980s horror franchise produced by Sean S. Cunningham: the House films. Desmond peruses his way through Arrow Video's House Collection and is joined by Darryll on House, his son Cade on House II: The Second Story, and goes solo on The Horror Show and House IV (it's a long story). And we play songs along the way: "This House is Haunted" by Alice Co...
