Earth-2.net Presents...

The Real Protagonists kick off the new year with Jupiter Ascending, a large mass of hot air that's really just stuff from other stuff under the guise of an "original story." Come for the snark, stay for the terrible impressions. Please visit http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com.

With the Year of Cheese squarely behind them, Dave and Ian embark on their biggest project to date: David Lynch's Twin Peaks. In the pilot, the town of Twin Peaks is struck by tragedy when popular local girl Laura Palmer is found murdered, and Twin Peaks Sheriff Harry S. Truman finds himself out of his depth. When a second victim is found alive having crossed state lines, Harry is relieved to find...

After an unintentional hiatus, The Heroes are back! And, well, they're certainly back with a movie. Join Will and Hannah as they talk about In Your Eyes.

This week we close out January in style. First up, Desmond and Darryll give a look at the horror comedy Zombeavers. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid reviews the 1978 Carrie-ripoff, Jennifer. Desmond returns to go solo on two Troma releases: Joe Spinell's meta-narrative The Last Horror Film and the alternate history exploitation film Honky Holocaust. Of course, there's songs too: "Your Girlfriend's...

Dread Media's no stranger to the occasional diverse episode, and this week is a perfect example of that. First, Desmond and Chris pay tribute to David Bowie in their review of The Hunger. Devil Dinosaur Jr. reckons with Human Centipede 3. Finally, Rich the Monster Movie Kid talks about Kurt Russell's beard, among other things, in his review of Bone Tomahawk. There's also some diverse music: "Funti...

The eighth of Ian Wilson's Twelve Labours of Comic Reel-lief sees a reunion between Ian and Tom Hemmings for a further Lists collaboration. The Englishmen are looking at the best and worst support villains and henchmen in the comic book movie subgenre, as well as picking 10 fictional characters each that would best suit such a movie. As part of their discussion, there's some dark humor from both h...

Listen in as Mike discusses Totally Awesome Hulk #1, Chewbacca #1-5, Jem and The Holograms #10, All-New Wolverine #3, and Black Canary #6.

We have a great show for you this week! First off, we pay tribute to Angus Scrimm who left the world this weekend, but he also left us his legacy as quite possibly the most imposing movie monster of the modern era. First-time director of Troma's B.C. Butcher, Kansas Bowling, comes on the show to talk about Kato Kaelin, the birth of the prehistoric slasher, and directing her first film at 17. Desmo...

The Doctor and Clara find themselves trapped in multiple dream worlds, with their only hope for salvation being Santa ("Last Christmas"). Plus: A special guest appears mid-show to deliver a block-based gift to one of the hosts, and Dan and Mike make an announcement concerning when Bigger on the Inside will return to cover season nine.

Mike's voice fails him as he reads through the January 2016 Previews.

Look at that photo. We can type in this space that Sunny Undercover was one of the most entertaining edition yet (for all the wrong reasons). We can tell you that Ahmed Johnson has one of the most "I'm out of my depth here" moments all year. We can tell you Raw was broadcast from three different countries. We can tell you that the WWF doesn't seem to realize Apartheid has ended, but all you really...

Mike discusses seven trailers from 2015, then ranks how excited he is for their respective 2016 movies.

This is a jam-packed show for the New Year. We welcome 2016 by giving away three separate films in our Canadian Giallo giveaway, watch and review two of the best horror films of 2015, and pay tribute to Lemmy Kilmister. On top of that, your intrepid host's novel has just been released! So, listen to see who won Black Christmas, then listen to the epic length review of Eli Roth's The Green Inferno,...

While Mankind puts in a contender for promo of the year and most dangerous spot of the year in a match against Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels steals the show by taking his real hatred of Bret Hart in front of the camera. The change from Bret and Shawn not liking each other to hating each other is in Week 14 of A Cure for the Common Podcast.

Ian and Dave bring The Year of Cheese to a close with the final three episodes of Manimal. In "Scrimshaw," Chase finds himself on the hunt for treasure when Brooke discovers a walrus tusk with clues to a hidden fortune etched on it. In "Breath of the Dragon," Chase comes to the aid of an old family friend when his Chinese restaurant comes under threat from a local gangster. And in "Night of the Be...

The seventh of Ian Wilson's Twelve Labours of Comic Reel-lief is here, with the Pandemon calling for the return of The Soapbox, which was last used to allow [REDACTED] to wax lyrical about Man of Steel. This episode's discussion takes in the development of the comic book movie and how much of a future the sub-genre has. It's a broad topic and a long conversation to boot. But who is Ian's colleague...

Captain Kirk must face an inner demon ("Obsession"), and Piglet kills a lot of women ("Wolf in the Fold"). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/edge.

Sherlock Holmes stars in "New Year's Eve Off the Scilly Isles."

Set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, The Clone Wars animated movie broadens the Star Wars lore with the addition of such rich, dynamic characters as Ziro the Hutt and Mike's favorite Jedi-in-training: Ahsoka.

Last year, The CW used the success of their grounded take on Green Arrow to launch a TV show that needed to be much more embracing of its comic book roots: The Flash. Chris Johnson and Donovan Morgan Grant cover everything in the first season from the cast to the villains to individual episodes, examining how well this incarnation of The Scarlet Speedster translated to the small screen. And, since...

We end Yellow Christmas in style with a slew of films from the sleazy history of giallo. From 1972 all the way to 2015, five films outline the blood, black gloves, and boobs that we all love so much. First up, Desmond and Darryll dust off their film-reviewing prowess in Sergio Martino's sleazy Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key. Then, Desmond and Duane discuss the violence against...

Labour number six of Ian Wilson's Twelve Labours of Comic Reel-lief sees another new gauntlet thrown down to be picked up: an opinion piece! It's unedited fun as the off-colour Englishman decides to step back and analyze the relative merits of Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and to what extent it has been a success. Think of it as a Previews episode, except that it looks backwards instead...

To round off 2015, The Brothers Wilson have their say about two films from the British writer / director Richard Curtis. Is there more to Four Weddings and a Funeral than a bungling Hugh Grant and a very clear structure? Would Love Actually work better as 10 individual films? Which brother will abuse his role as guest editor? There's also the massive thrill of the first HAA! Awards (The Tomlinsons...

To cap off another year of astonishing cinema, James and Damien tackle Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. Try not to go cross-eyed as you listen to two guys talk about a movie that's about two guys watching another guy tell a bunch of kids about a lady that's telling another lady a story about a tiny lady. Seriously. Please visit http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com.

The 2015 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar wraps up with an episode like no other. Join Ian, Dave, and Mike as they discuss Darkman in this completely unedited yuletide treat. As you listen, ponder two questions: Why is this episode nearly seven hours long when the discussion is only three-plus hours in length? And, what does Garfield Minus Garfield have to do with anything?
