Earth-2.net Presents...

Okay, it's weirdly named killers week on Dread Media. (Just in case you didn't know, I'm a sucker for obscure themes.) First up, some information on our listener call-in show in eight weeks. Then, Desmond and Darryll try to reckon with The Greasy Strangler. Then, Rich says "No No" to The Bye Bye Man. It ain't pretty. There are songs to help you through it: "Ronnie" by Metallica, "Shy Ronnie 2: Ron...

In this special episode recorded live in front of an audience at Arisia 2017, Dan and guest Andy Hicks recall the Wilderness Years, a time when little to no new Doctor Who was being made, and regale the listeners with stories of weak PBS signals, spending ungodly amounts of money on unwatchable garbage, and the 10 minutes they spent convinced Eric Roberts was the best Master ever. Please visit our...

This week, we have two of 2016's best from other countries. First, it's a train movie, so you know that Darryll was interested in South Korea's Train to Busan. Then, Duane comes by to dig into some Brazilian folk horror in The Devil Lives Here. Also, some important news about episode 500 that every Dread Media listener has a chance to get in on. Finally, some tunes: "Shhh..." by The Darkest of the...

Friends met The Real World in this failed attempt to bring the Justice League of America to live-action TV in 1997. Yet, despite all of its failings (and there are many), Dan and Mike find something to enjoy in this odd take on superheroes.

Ahmed Johnson explains why he joined The Nation and hypes up his PPV Title match. He then gets injured and has to relinquish it. Owen Hart, HHH, and Goldust square off (or would that be triangle off?) in the first ever televised Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship. The tag team tournament continues, and Sabu faces Flash Funk on Raw in Week 25 of A Cure for the Common Podcast.

This week, Dread Media again turns its leering eye toward sexy vampires. First, Desmond and Duane take a look at the mysterious women in the recent Spanish remake of the 1974 film Vampyres. Then Rich the Monster Movie Kid discusses Selene and all kind of glossy vampires (and lycans) in his discussion of Underworld: Blood Wars and the other films in the Underworld series. Then Duane and Desmond ret...

And it was once again foretold that the warrior and the scribe gather around the table to tell of their accomplishments. Last year was big for Aaron and Damien, and they're back to talk about how 2017 may be even bigger. Please visit http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com.

Fascist werewolf cops, feminist T-shirts, and adulting! Oh my! Yup, it's Previews time.

Cruising from bustling theme parks to remote Celtic isles, the HMS List and Shout sails through travel in fiction. Join Pandy and Christian (and Evie) as they gaze upon the places they'd most like to go (both fictional and real), retrace the toughest journeys ever embarked upon, and wade through the worst vacations ever endured!

This week we do end up looking back at two of 2016's more popular theatrical horror endeavors. Darryll and Desmond sit down to take a look at Don't Breathe and Lights Out, but what did they think? Listen to find out! There are songs, as always: "New Blood" by Night Fever, "Blind" by Korn, "Hit The Lights" by Metallica, and "The Hell I Am" by Hick'ry Hawkins. Send feedback to: feedback@dreadmedia.n...

Continuing the grand tradition of holiday classics, James and Damien tackle Elves, a story of Nazi incest and tenuous pluralization. Please visit http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com.

It's time for a bigger, badder Nation to debut, but who is going to take the plunge and join? The tag tournament kicks off, but what kind of man might Austin pick to replace Shawn Michaels as his partner? Why does Savio insist he wasn't fired when we all saw it live on TV? And finally, the biggest unanswered question of all is revealed; the paternity test is in and Dr. Heyman is all set to reveal...

It's days of Auld Lang Die here at Dread Media. Happy 2017, everyone. This first episode of the year does what many New Years-themed specials do, and that is look ahead. This week we look at three films that present wildly different visions of the future. First up, Duane and Desmond take a look at the post-apocalyptic wasteland of French Canada's Turbo Kid. Then, a Japanese utopia is threatened by...

Let's face it: Dread Media is the reason for the season. It's our annual Yuletide Special here at Dread Media, and this week we aren't messing around. We've got a Christmas slasher sandwiched between what seems to be two horror fan's reimaginations of popular modern Christmas classics tied to 1989. First, did 2015's Krampus start off as a remake of 1989's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation? It...

Wrapping up the 2016 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, Will goes nostalgic with The Trolls and the Christmas Express. Then Dan and Mike discuss both the nostalgic and the new in their coverage of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

To round off this awful year, and in the spirit of festive tradition, The Brothers Wilson sit down by their respective fireplaces to discuss someone who, while an actor in his own right, is more renowned as a composer and musician. That is the genius Paul Williams! To explore his mark on cinema, Ian and Pandy discuss Bugsy Malone, a film where children kill each other, and Phantom of the Paradise,...

An idiot scientist compresses sleep into five-minute cycles, thus turning eye-boogers into roaring beasties ("Sleep No More"). Rigsy finds himself under the shadow of a death sentence, but a bad play on Clara's part has fatal consequences ("Face the Raven"). Then, in the wake of Clara's death, The Doctor finds himself trapped in a puzzle / prison created exclusively for him, resulting in a return...

Will goes obscure with Up on the Rooftop. Then Mike presents an episode of Eternal Light from 1944, which retells the story of The Maccabees and the birth of Hanukkah.

Will takes a trip to Bloom County for A Wish for Wings That Work. Then, Donovan Morgan Grant returns with his friend Harrison Chute to discuss the iconic anime and manga franchise Ghost in the Shell. Leading up to the 2017 American movie, the guys discuss the kinky, esoteric tendencies of the original manga; the philosophical ponderings and relentless nudity of the transcendent 1995 animated film;...

Today's special is The Leprechauns' Christmas Gold, and Will cannot figure out what it has to do with Christmas. Then Mike spreads more Punisher-themed seasonal joy by discussing Punisher: Red X-Mas, Punisher: Silent Night, Punisher: X-Mas Special, and Punisher MAX X-Mas Special.

Will covers Frosty's Winter Wonderland, which is weird. And Mike plays a radio adaptation of Miracle on 34th Street.

After three long days of talking about The Smurfs, Will finds something actually decent in The Town that Santa Forgot. Then, in a team-up some thought would never happen, and others thought probably shouldn't, Dave Probert and Pandy Wilson join forces in what is supposed to be a review of their media consumption of 2016. Yet, somehow, they also end up talking about darts-themed game shows from the...

Will covers even more mothersmurfing Smurfs with The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol. Charles Dickens would be Smurfing Smurfed about this. After that, Mike discusses The Punisher Holiday Special #1-3.

There's less than a week until Christmas and what more is Christmas about than coming back from the dead? What? That's Easter? Oh shit. Well, zombies are the reason for the season this week on Dread Media. First up, Desmond and Jeff review a quiet and contemplative Arnold Schwarzenegger film (apparently they exist) about a parent's love for their child in Maggie. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid h...

Will thinks 'Tis the Season to Be Smurfy can go Smurf itself. Then the detectives of Dragnet have 24 hours to locate a missing statue in a tale called "The Big Little Jesus."
