Earth-2.net Presents...

First up, a panel featuring Arvell Jones and Keith Pollard from the 2013 Christmas Comic Con 2. Then, Mike gives his thoughts on The Amazing Spider-Man #700.1 and 700.2.

In the style of the When Harry Met Sally... transitions, Shana and Mike open the show by outlining the journey that led to their marriage, then the wedded duo discuss this near-perfect movie. (Note: If you want to skip all of the lovey-dovey romance, jump to 26:43.) Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Well, kids, here we are. It took 61 episodes of Big Damn Heroes and 144 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we've reached the end of the line for Buffy and the Scoobies. Which characters play an awesome game of D&D? What about the final episode doesn't quite make sense, but is still utterly fantastic? And how many callbacks to the very first episode can we fit in? Join Will and Hannah as the...

Before the year is out, there's just enough time to squeeze in a 30th anniversary special for a show that most history geeks hold close to their hearts: Blackadder. Hosted by Earth-2.net's very own Blackadder and Baldrick (Christian Honore and Ian Wilson), this episode runs through the unaired 1982 pilot, all four series, plus the specials: Blackadder: The Cavalier Years, Blackadder's Christmas Ca...

To end the year, your hosts took in a viewing of the filmic achievement Santa's Slay, starring Bill Goldberg. This episode is short and fun, just like the movie. We've earned it. Please visit http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com.

Santa's not the only one with a naughty list this week, as Dread Media pays tribute to the burgeoning genre career of Ben Wheatley! First up, Desmond and Duane take on the paramilitary / pagan mash-up Kill List. Devil Dinosaur Jr. jumps in with the first of two Stay Scaries with a review of A Field in England. Adam and Luke join Desmond for a review of 5 Souls, a film that has nothing to do with B...

Dan's new job selling cheap crap to terrible people and Wendee's success in not dying horribly on Boston's terrifyingly antiquated public transit system are some of the excuses given for the epic lateness of this episode. Eventually they get around to actually discussing Arthur C. Clarke's avowed classic Childhood's End.

The final Hey, Gurlfriend of 2013 chills out by looking at Disney's most recent animated film: Frozen. From the beautiful music to Kristen Bell, there's so much gushing going on. Also, Will gives some advice to live by.

Welcome to episode 60 of Big Damn Heroes, and the beginning of the final countdown! Buffy is down to two of its four final episodes, and they're certainly filled with plot twists, cameos, and lots of the sexing. Meanwhile, Angel tries to pull a "Restless" for its season ending, and kind of fails spectacularly. Join Hannah and Will as they cover "Empty Places" and "Touched" on Buffy, and "Home" on...

The 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar finishes with a little Disney magic as Kellen and Will review Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse. While it may reuse some footage from the show it's based on, how can you go wrong when you wrap it around "Donald on Ice," "Pluto's Christmas Tree," "The Nutcracker," and "Mickey's Christmas Carol." Merry Christmas everyone!

It's 1941 and war is ripping Europe and families apart, but Christmas must go on. To that end, The Doctor takes a family on an adventure to a winter wonderland ("The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe"). Also, Albert Einstein is turned into an Ood ("Death is the Only Answer"), and a Weeping Angel wants to destroy the Olympics ("Good as Gold"). Please visit www.patreon.com/biggerontheinside.

Christmas is here, and, in that spirit, Shana and Mike fix their gaze upon Scrooged! Join them as they discuss the highs and lows of this meta-adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

'Twas the day before Christmas and on the podcast, Kellen and Chris were there having a blast. Watching episodes from The Simpsons' golden age, and not new stuff that might send them into a rage. "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace" is first, where Bart creates for Springfield a robbery thirst. Following that is "Grift of the Magi," where school may be saved but for deception and lies. And while I know...

As Kellen and [REDACTED] find out, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is at first glance a harmless Christmas special from Rankin / Bass. However, it doesn't take long to realize that this special contains the most evil character in any Christmas special, worse than the Grinch, the Wet Bandits, and the Satanic Woodland Critters. No, it's not the Abominable Snow Monster of the North. It's Donner.

The War on Christmas is bloody and mindless this year as Dread Media celebrates its sixth ghoultide! First up, Adam, Desmond, and Jeff try to make sense of 1980's Christmas Evil (aka You Better Watch Out). Then, perhaps a little stressed over not being able to stomach a complete run through last year, Devil Dinosaur Jr. opens two horrible presents: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation and Sile...

As far as modern classic Christmas movies go, Kellen doesn't think there are many better than 2003's Elf. Find out why he feels the movie walks the fine line of playing with tropes, while being so genuine at the same time.

It's a wonderful podcast today on Earth-2.net: The Show, as Will Ackerman takes over with a TV 101 all about It's a Wonderful Life. Then Will joins Kellen for the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, where they review "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special."

Family Guy has never been one to shy away from corrupting wholesome childhood imagery in the name of laughs. To Kellen and Tom Hemmings, this is no more evident than in "Road to the North Pole," which sees a dystopian Santa's Workshop and a gift delivery that turns to a B&E / double murder.

Ian Wilson unites with his brother Andy Wilson to bring you the first episode in a podcast series looking at three films of any given actor. The first actor in the glare of Hey, an Actor! is rubber-faced comedian and part-time acting heavyweight Jim Carrey. From the dramatic oeuvre shown in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to the hybrid comedy / drama of I Love You Phillip Morris, and the al...

What happens when you take one of the greatest political satirists going today, remove said political satirizing, and replace it with a hodgepodge of musicians singing songs of wildly varying qualities? You get A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All! To decipher the good from the bad, we turn to the Colbert Nation's own Kellen Scirvens and James Trenchard.

For Big Damn Heroes' 59th episode, it's all Angel all the time! Or rather, all Jasmine all the time! The crux of season four has come into play, and we get to watch Fred be a regular ol' badass, Gina Torres be interesting, and Connor continue to be an awful little fuck. Listen to Will and Hannah talk about what has to be one of the best runs of episodes that Angel has had in a while, and how the s...

Frosty the Snowman is one of Rankin / Bass' most well-known and beloved pieces of work. Frosty Returns, despite its title, has very little to do with the original. Kellen brings [REDACTED] back to the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, and you'd be surprised who has the most negative view.

In the 1990s, very few cartoons were as consistently funny as Animaniacs. However, as Kellen and Will found out, that level of consistency doesn't necessarily apply to Christmas episodes. Listen for yourself as they review "'Twas the Day Before Christmas" and "A Christmas Plotz."

The Doctor and Craig beat the Cybermen with love ("Closing Time"), and The Doctor and River Song save all of time with a kiss ("The Wedding of River Song"). However, before discussing those two stories, Dan and Mike open the show with a brief chat about "The Day of the Doctor," they read a solid defense of Victoria Waterfield, and they have a look at the five minisodes that fall under the Night an...

Kellen is joined by Chris Johnson to review one of the world's most beloved Christmas specials. From the mind of Dr. Seuss, the animation of Chuck Jones, the vocal stylings of Boris Karloff, and anchored by one of the most well-known Christmas song of all-time comes Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
