Earth-2.net Presents...

Desmond is nothing, if not a family man, and this week the episode focuses on horror films that center around the family. First, in a change of format, Desmond goes solo on a review of the brand new Mexican film, Here Comes the Devil. Then Adam and Jeff join him for a review of Nothing Left to Fear. Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a Stay Scary on Crucible of Horror. All this, plus feedback and music:...

Someone at some point in the 1990s thought it would be a good idea to have Arnold Schwarzenegger star in a family Christmas comedy movie. The result was Jingle All the Way, and Kellen is joined by James Trenchard to make sense of it all.

When it comes to unconventional Christmas celebrations, does it get much more unconventional than singing pieces of poo and a blood orgy involving adorable woodland critters? No, of course not. To make sense of it all, Kellen and Ian Wilson review South Park's "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" and "Woodland Critter Christmas."

One of the best parts of Christmas is the chance to get together with old friends and family you don't often see. While Christmas in Japan is very different from most of the Western world, Digimon's "A Very Digi Christmas" makes this a principle tennant of its story. Kellen is joined by Will Ackerman to discuss this episode.

Kellen Scrivens loves Christmas. [REDACTED] does not. Kellen and [REDACTED] sat down to review Olive, the Other Reindeer. Kellen thinks that the special's opening number is fun, [REDACTED] is offended by the first line. Oh what fun awaits.

Who doesn't love a Christmas episode that has its first airing in October and does not fit in with the present continuity? If that person is you, then you may not be a fan of Pokemon's "Holiday Hi-Jynx." To find out what Kellen and Chris Johnson felt about this episode you'll have to listen in as the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar continues.

Christmas is about spending time with your family, be they blood, close friends, or the guys with the good drugs in prison. It's about making sure that you can give the best things to your family, regardless of the way how. And it's about looking back on how things used to be. To that end, Kellen and Brett Scrivens review the Trailer Park Boys special "Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself."

Ian and Dave cover two more episodes of Ultraviolet. In "Sub Judice," the team investigate a barrister who's womb is being used to incubate a human / Code V hybrid. In "Mea Culpa," a schoolboy murders a priest. Is it a simple case of teenaged violence, or a symptom of a Code V experiment? Will there be any laughs to be had given the dour nature of these stories? If anyone can find them it's Wilson...

It's 09 December, which means it's the day that Abed and his mom meet to watch Rudolph, unless something new has happened in her life. In which case, Abed's world may degenerate into some sort of stop-motion animation. To bring the mood up, the gang tries to inject some glee into their lives, but is it enough to get them to Regionals? Find out as Kellen and Tom Hemmings review Community's Christma...

By Crom! This week we pay homage to some of the creations of legendary pulp writer Robert E. Howard. First up, Darryll and Desmond discuss the Puritan-turned-reluctant-avenger: Solomon Kane. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. steps in to present a review of the similarly themed, but non-Howard property Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. Desmond returns with a solo review of 2011's Conan the Barbarian! There's s...

It's time for The Boys Outta Brooklyn to enter the BITD Coroner's Office and cut open another media enterprise. This time out it's Fox Television's serial killing bag o' stupid, The Following! Join Tom and Derrick as they explain how this Kevin Bacon vehicle violates simple narrative principles, and why Kevin Williamson needs to get kicked in the butt ever day. And if that isn't enough, what's up...

No matter what decade it is, some things never change. Be it teenagers getting smashed at a party on Christmas vacation, a neighbor with really loud Christmas decorations, or some people being very cynical of the season. It's all here as Kellen and Chris Johnson look at two That '70s Show episodes: "Hyde's Christmas Rager" and "An Eric Forman Christmas."

They say if the women don't find you handsome, they can at least find you handy. Very few people adhere to that philosophy quite as much as the incomparable Red Green. Join Kellen as we learn to cook our own Christmas dinner in a car, build our own one-horse open sleigh, and create a mobile Christmas carol machine as he reviews "A Wonderful Red Green Christmas" and "A Very Merry Red Green Christma...

As Shana and Mike examine The Rookie, they find themselves troubled by one major sticking point. Namely, is it one movie, two, or even three? Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Every kid has hoped that it could be Christmas every day of the year, but how would the world work if that really was the case? This is examined as Kellen and James Trenchard review The Fairly OddParents episode "Christmas Everyday!"

While there are not going to be any Doctor Who Christmas episodes covered during the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar (you can hear those reviewed on Bigger on the Inside), today we get a Dalek appearance. Kellen and Ian Wilson discuss the Christmas special of one of Britain's most iconic characters in Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean.

Kellen takes a trip way up North to the Evergreen Forest for day four of the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar to review The Christmas Raccoons. Following that, Mike reads through the December Previews.

Chris Johnson joins Kellen for a nostalgic look at Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too.

For the second day of the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, Kellen sits down with Tom Hemmings to discuss the Christmas classic Home Alone.

It's Mediocre Zombie Movie Monday! Join us as a huge gaggle of people discuss flesh-eating flicks that missed the mark. First up, Desmond and Duane take a look at how far Uncle George Romero has fallen with his latest outing: Survival of the Dead. Then, Adam, Jeff, and Luke join Desmond to look at the high school John Hughes ripoff Detention of the Dead. Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a review of the...

Kellen and Will open up the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar with A Charlie Brown Christmas!

In the not-too-distant past / Last Sunday AD / There was a guy named Will / Not too different from you or me / He did a segment called TV 101 / And there was a show that he really loved / He recorded an episode for its 25th year / But then he ended up gushing / And then it was so clear / If you can't wait to hear how it all started / And other history facts (la la la) / Then repeat to yourself, "I...

We're not screwing aroun...
