Long after Star Trek ended its original run of episodes, the series was kept alive thanks to Power Records. In this episode of Earth-2.net: The Show you'll hear three such recordings: Passage to Moauv, In Vino Veritas and The Crier in Emptiness!

Many great works of graphic storytelling have had bad live-action movies made from them. Batman, The Fantastic Four and Daredevil are classic examples. Kellen finds another to add to the list with his review of the Death Note feature film.

No matter how hard they tried, Dan and Mike couldn't seem to agree this week. Is The Spirit, volume two goofy or trying too hard to be goofy? They agree that Wonder Woman: The Circle looks good, but that's where their consensus ends. And one of the hosts barely finished Sandman, volume two: The Doll's House.

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick reviews two Eurosleaze cannibal shockers - Papaya: Love Goddess of the Cannibals and Cannibal Terror - before welcoming back DW as he takes a bite out of Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse. Plus, exciting news, and feedback aplenty. Tunes include: "Celebrate the Flesh" by Crom, "Love You More Dead" by The Black Rose Phantoms, "Experiment in Terror" by Fantomas, "Zombie Dance" by Alice Cooper and "If I Only Had a Brain" by The Flaming Lips.

On paper, Teen Wolf is a great concept: a teenage werewolf who accidentally outs himself seeks acceptance from his friends. In execution, however, things fall apart, and it's up to Jenny and Mike to make sense out of it.

Recently comic book writer Robert Kirkman made some controversial statements regarding corporate- versus self-publishing, and Des and Mike are here to chime in.

A young woman with a troubled past, a brand new detective and a brainy girl all catch Batman's ire as he investigates Gotham's newest vigilante in Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman.

This week Des and Mike talk about a Silver Age tribute book (The Age of the Sentry #1), the perfect blending of sex and action (Incredible Hercules #121), the rise of a former Avenger (Iron Man: Director of SHIELD #33), terrible urban stereotypes (Marvel Adventures The Avengers #28) and characters you've never heard of before (Mighty Avengers #18).

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick gets back to basics with a little chitchat before reviewing the sci-fi Eurosleaze epic Beast in Space, and the Mexican supernatural horror film La Resurreccion de Amanda Morales. He then moves along to Alice Cooper's new record, Along Came a Spider, and a brand new Marvel Comics adaptation of Stephen King's plague epic The Stand: Captain Trips #1. We will talk about hamsters and Henry before giving away our big contest prize. Tunes include: "The Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold, "Resurrection" by Apocalyptica, "Prologue (I Know Where You Live)" and "The One That Got Away" by Alice Cooper, "Gospels for the Sick" by Scum and "Monsters" by Electric President.

Though it might have reshaped how the world saw Batman, and led directly to the creation of Batman: The Animated Series, Tim Burton's Batman (1989) is a seriously flawed film with bland characters, numerous plot holes and a Batman who has no qualms about killing. Let the ranting begin!

Take the rather crazy director of Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy and get him hooked on The Blues Brothers. The end result is the outrageous and hilarious anime musical comedy Nerima Daikon Brothers.

Last week we teased it, and now it's here! The newest segment of Earth-2.net: The Show is Waiting for the Trade, hosted by Dan Toland and Michael David Sims. In this first installment, the guys speak about Abyss, volume one; Wolverine: Origins, volume five - Deadpool; and Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters.

In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick sits down and talks horror comics, movies and punk rock with writer Steve Niles. Then he reviews Steve's upcoming comic City of Dust, and Michael David Sims joins him to review Dead of Night Featuring Devil-Slayer from Brian Keene and Marvel Comics. You have one more week to enter the Jigsaw Man / Apparatus Revolution / Devil's Due contest, and a winner will be decided next week. Tunes include: "Thog," "Killing Direction" and "Smoking Hole" by Gray Matter, as well as "Black Heart, Blue Scars" by Sutter Kane.

First the duo discusses Jenny's writing, then they read through the September Previews.

As Superman: The Animated Series and Gotham Knights come to a close, Bruce Wayne marries a plant ("Chemistry"), the Joker creates a lecherous lunatic ("Beware the Creeper"), Two-Face tries to kill himself in a roundabout way ("Judgment Day") and Superman attacks his adopted home ("Legacy").

Des is back! As always, he and Mike reviewed five comic books (Dead of Night Featuring Devil-Slayer #1, Marvel Apes #1, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #2, Sub-Mariner: The Depths #1 and Venom: Dark Origin #2), but one of them was so bad it put the duo in a foul mood for the rest of the show.

In this first anniversary episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick gets real and reviews two upcoming nonfiction books, Book of Lists: Horror and Cheap Scares: Low Budget Horror Filmmakers Share Their Secrets. He's then joined by Michael David Sims for an in-depth chat about Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Then he caps it all off with a look at the documentary Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film. Go and check out the official website at www.dreadmedia.net. Enter the newly upgraded Jigsaw Man / Apparatus Revolution contest just by contacting me. Tunes included: "Shitlist" by L7, "Are You Eating It (or Is It Eating You?)" by The Browns, "Ghouls on Film" by Hola Ghost, "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" by Fantomas, "Rise and Fall Complex" by Return of the Blind and "Vaginal Torture Device" by Forgetting Tomorrow.

"Am I the meanest? Sho'nuff! Am I the prettiest? Sho'nuff! Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town? Sho'nuff! Well who am I? Sho'nuff! Who am I? Sho'nuff! I can't hear you! Sho'nuff... the Shogun of Harlem!" Oh yeah, we're talking about The Last Dragon!

For the honor of Grayskull, Jenny and Mike review She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword!
