Earth-2.net Presents...

This next batch of episodes of Nana score 49 out of a possible 50 points from Kellen and Lisa. Kellen sings some Kanye West, the duo discuss the method of lying to your friends, and a character drives Kellen to want to punch a voice in the throat. By the end of this we need to cheer up, so today's music is supplied by Prozzak.

In the latest Books Without Pictures, cyberpunk, ancient Sumerian mythology, pirates versus ninjas, the National Cryptologic Museum, and They Might Be Giants all become part of the attempt by Dan and Wendee to make some sort of sense out of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

This week, Dread Media commemorates Women in Horror Month by celebrating some "womanly" films, and by tipping the hat to some of Desmond's favorite female horror comic characters and badass rock chicks! First up, Desmond's own personal favorite woman in horror, Megan, joins him for a review of the lesbian werewolf flick Jack and Diane. In a double shot of Stay Scary, Devil Dinosaur Jr. covers the...

Forget all of the talk about the weather, the very first modern multi-Doctor story ("Time Crash"), and Kylie Minogue's turn on the program ("Voyage of the Damned"). What makes this episode of Bigger on the Inside so historic is that Dan and Mike mark the very first appearance of the man, the myth, the legend: Wilfred Mott!

Even if you've never seen the abysmal Runaway Bride, Shana and Mike implore you to listen to this episode of For Better or Worse. In the short lifespan of the show, never have they encountered a movie that insults its audience more and has zero redeeming qualities. As a matter of fact, it's so bad, one of the hosts outright removes a main character for the remake.

In this Point Five episode, we examine the news from a land far, far away that JJ "Lens Flare" Abrams is going to direct Star Wars: Episode VII. Along the way Derrick and Tom discuss the hazards of The Casting Game, why society is producing so many snotty kids, and create the latest Jedi Knight sensation and his Light-Knuckles! Even Jason Statham has had to fail, so get to clicking!

Big Damn Heroes is officially over the hill at 40 episodes! And man, some of these episodes this week make us feel old. Over on Buffy, we get introduced to our villains, encounter some major stretches of credulity, and have a Halloween episode that's more about the subplots than it is the holiday! And over on Angel, Fred gets a personality just in time for one of the more horrifying and triggering...

Coming to you halfway through the month, it's the February Previews episode!

The melodrama continues and keeps getting bigger as Kellen and Lisa review the next set of episodes from Nana. The usual complaints about Viz's treatment of the production remain, but the multiple relationship blowups, secrets being revealed, and the most screwed up 15 year old in all of anime keep the scores high. And to celebrate the breakups, we spin some No Doubt.

Ian and Dave return with a mixed bag of Blake's 7 this month. In "Sand," the Scorpio crew and Servalan travel to a planet which might contain a valuable new resource. The resource turns out to be sentient sand with a rudimentary knowledge of basic farming techniques. Can the crew overpower evil sand? Why are we even asking that question? In "Gold," an old acquaintance of Avon's asks for help to st...

What's that on your iPod? Is it a song? Is it an audiobook? Why, it's Dread Media! And in this gritty superhero-themed episode, Adam, Desmond, Jeff, and Luke take a look at All Superheroes Must Die. Devil Dinosaur Jr. offers up a review of the new DC Comics Animated Universe film Superman vs. The Elite. Then Desmond goes solo on reviews of Crimson and Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical. Some...

Lunch Over Graphic Novels returns with an examination of the works of Craig Thompson: Good-bye, Chunky Rice, Blankets, and Habibi.

Cherish the day that the Tirades return with everything you've come to expect from the show: Sade references, Atari bartering, and exploding model planes. James and Damien tackle Highlander II: The Quickening, a movie so incomprehensibly flawed that it has become synonymous with horrible cinema. So hang on to your love, because this movie proves it's never as good as the first time. Please visit h...

After a 16-year break, Star Wars returned in 1999 with the first entry in a brand new prequel trilogy: The Phantom Menace. Hopes were high, maybe too high, but what was delivered was not what was expected. Listen as Dan and Mike examine the movie that gave us the origin of Anakin Skywalker, very little Obi-Wan, and defined The Force. Also, Mike has a theory about Qui-Gon Jinn.

A snow-shark, a wise-cracking demon, a pet zombie, and an adorable little girl walk into a a restaurant filled with killer sushi. OUCH! Welcome to the horror comedy special of Dread Media! First up, Desmond and Jeff Strand review Snow Shark: Ancient Snow Beast. Devil Dinosaur Jr. provides a Stay Scary on the supernatural romantic comedy Lo. Darryll returns to watch the Canadian domesticated-zombie...

In The Infinite Quest, The Doctor's first official animated adventure, he and Martha must find the wish-granting Infinite before a madman can get his hands on it.

Depending on who you ask, the 1996 Billy Zane vehicle, The Phantom, is either an underrated gem or an odd mixture of excitement and tedium. Today, join Ian Wilson, Dave Probert, and Michael David Sims as they extol the virtues of The Ghost Who Walks and his awesomely awesome foe: Xander Drax! Look out for all those seaplanes, and get ready to slam evil! (Note: It's Rosebud, not redrum.)

What single sticking point had prevented Mike from seeing Pretty Women until now, and who did Shana cast against type for Stuckey? Also, more Stanley Tucci love.

Ladies and gentlemen, Big Damn Heroes episode 39 is finally here! Over on Buffy, shit continues to hit the fan. And on Angel, things continue to slowly go somewhere, including an amazingly offensive episode! Want to know what we're talking about? Join Hannah and Will as they cover Buffy's "After Life" and "Flooded," and Angel's "That Old Gang of Mine" and "Carpe Noctem."

Long have TV fans dreaded seeing their favorite shows end up in the Friday Night Death Slot. This month, Will examines some of its victims. its history, and why it might all be a little overblown. Tune in, or Super Bunny Corps 3000 might not last the season!

Come with us this week on a road trip to the new vacation home. I know it looks rough, but don't worry. It's just in need of a little love. Perhaps some paint, some tightening of the screws, and the exorcising of the demonic spirit that haunts the basement would really spruce the place up! This week we pay tribute to the classic horror trope of cabins in the woods by Desmond and Jeff first reviewi...

In this episode, The Guys Outta Brooklyn honor one of the most influential figures in the history of genre movies and martial arts: Bruce Lee. Tom and Derrick discuss the philosophy and career of this remarkable man, who managed to change the face of cinema after starring in only four movies (and yes, we do discuss that thing that claims to be his fifth film). You know it's Chinese boxing time, so...

How the bloody hell do you update a visionary classic like Network? Shana and Mike think they'e found a way.

In what may be the most emotionally draining episode of Animezing Podcast to date, Kellen and Lisa review five more episodes of Nana. Kellen freaks out about a couple changes in the Western release, as well as by a particular voice actress whose character debuts. In honor of the final episode reviewed, we throw in a song from the Foo Fighters. (For those wondering, audio quality is not perfect, bu...

The first full edition of Books Without Pictures is here, and with it Dan and Wendee debate the merits of Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's classic first-contact novel: The Mote in God's Eye! Blast Hardcheese and the He-Man Woman Haters' Club bring extreme diplomacy to the outer reaches of the galaxy! Is this the 25th greatest science fiction novel in history? Tune in to hear our hosts say "probab...
