Earth-2.net Presents...

Zini the Incel Lemur, Audrey Hepburn in Iguanodon form, and the sassy black Styracosaurus are just a few of the memorable characters Christian, Donovan, and newcomer-to-the-show Harrison Chute encounter as they endure Dinosaur - one of Disney animation's most underwhelming and poorly titled offerings. (NOTE: The next episode won’t come out till late September. Feel free to feed back in the meantime at the Earth-2.net forums or at disney@earth-2.net.)

The journey from fresh-faced, innocent newcomer to crumpled-up has-been is a fixture of song and story from time immemorial. The library's copy of the Edda was checked out, though, so instead we focused on two ends of the music industry: 2001's Josie and The Pussycats, and 1984's This is Spinal Tap. One was way better than anyone remembered. The other was exactly as good as everyone remembers.Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

Having not learned his Rumble Fish lesson, our hero spends six months with uncle Frank making The Cotton Club. Cage plays trumpet player Richard Gere's brother with gangster ambitions. The shoot was miserable, and the movie is interesting to talk about. Ha ha! Join Bryan and Desmond as they reckon with this movie.

This week, Desmond and Duane watch two families become friends on vacation and then something else in the Danish / Dutch co-production Speak No Evil. Turns out, it's kind of the perfect Des / Duane movie, so then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Previously Reviewed Des / Duane Movies About Vacation. Songs included: "Holiday" by Duff McKagan, "Got Your Tongue" by Me and That Man featuring Chris Georgiadis, "Vacation" by Devin Townsend, and "See No Evil" by Ghost.

We pulled an audible this week when we heard the legendary BBC presenter Sir Michael Parkinson passed away because we had his contribution to horror culture already reviewed and ready. So this week, Tom and Desmond talk all about the BBC special presentation that terrified a generation of Brits: Ghostwatch. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Scariest British Film. Songs included: "When Death Comes Crawling" by End Reign, "My Head Is Full of Ghosts" by Bad Religion, "Gravestones & Coffins" by Kataklysm, and "Soul Remnants" by Outer Heaven.

From benevolent spring sprites to (rightly) cancelled conductors, Maestro Christian and Maestra Emma traverse the brisk yet beautiful Fantasia 2000!

There's nothing we enjoy more than taking a deep dive into the WWE's long and storied history of self-mythologization. Remember when Hulk Hogan tried to act? Find it as adorable as we did as we tackle 1989's No Holds Barred! After that, we're gonna see if this Florence Pugh person might be someone to keep an eye on with 2019's Fighting with My Family!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

This week, we are once again joined by our old friend Greg Lamberson. This time, we talk about The Hills Have Eyes, teaching screenwriting, and, of course, the Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival. Listen to the rundown of the amazing schedule of the film fest and then head to the Dipson Amherst Theatre in Buffalo, New York from August 18-24th to take in some great new movies! More info here: http://www.buffalodreamsfantasticfilmfestival.com. Songs included: "Tomorrow's Dream" by Black Sabbath, "All I have To Do is Dream" by Dandy Warhols, and "Dream in Motion" by Kirk Windstein. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

This week on the show, we're talking about our imaginary friends! Maybe that came out wrong. First, Desmond and Tom review the Shudder original Daniel Isn't Real. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Imaginary Friend Stories Across Media. Songs included: "Imaginary Days" by Mark Morton, "F(r)iend" by In Flames, "My Poor Friend Me" by Bad Religion, and "A Dialogue in B Flat Minor" by In Flames. And this is likely the first time in the 832-week run of this show that Desmond realized he's played the same artist twice in one episode while writing the show notes. Oh well.

Divisive drummers, no one's favorite Betty Rubble, and the one and only Brian Blessed dominate the discussion as Christian and Donovan tackle Tarzan - widely regarded as the final entry in Disney's renowned Renaissance (as well as one leaps and bounds better than its source material).

We recently lost character actor Treat Williams, pulp villain and WB-dad par excellence. To pay tribute, we look at two of his many contributions to midnight movie culture: the zombie buddy cop horror comedy Dead Heat from 1988 and 1998's Indiana Jones and the Luxury Ocean Liner Full of Tentacle Monsters, or Deep Rising!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

This week on the show, Desmond and Duane reckon with the mockumentary Wrinkles the Clown. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Genre Mockumentaries. Songs included: "Tears of a Clown" by Iron Maiden, "Sweet Licks (Music from Clowns 3D)" by Slash, "A Joke, A Fraud, A Fake" by Iron Reagan, and "Counterfeit" by Limp Bizkit.

This week, one of Dread Media's oldest friends, Chris Alexander, returns after 13 years to catch up. We talk about everything from a look back at his days with Fangoria, Rue Morge Magazine, and Rue Morgue Radio to his films and his thoughts on Rob Zombie, James Wan, and much more. But, mainly, we talk about his brand new book Corman / Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960-1964. Then, Chris sticks around to do our own Double Dread Media Top 5 Favorite Corman / Poe films! Songs included: "Space Vampire" and "She Walks Over Graves" by Chris Alexander, "The Tell-Tale Heart" by The Alan Parson Project, and "Buried Alive" by Avenged Sevenfold.

Twenty-five years after its initial release, Christian and Emma reflect the latter's favorite Disney film: Mulan! Together, the two discuss how the film is both of its time and ahead of its time, along with dragons, drugs, and dishonorable spin-offs.

What theatrical form gives you the opportunity to express your emotions, delve into philosophy, and achieve classic status more effectively than the rock opera? Asking for a friend. While you ponder that, give a listen as we go over a couple of tentpoles of the genre with 2008's Repo! The Genetic Opera alongside Ken Russell's 1975 adaptation of The Who's Tommy!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

This week on the show, we have a double feature of short horror reviews centered around children. First up is the psychedelic and twisted Spoonful of Sugar with Duane. Then, Tom and I find out that There's Something Wrong with the Children. Songs included: "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton" by Mastodon, "Blotter Acid Reflex Syndrome" by Atmosphere, "Children of the Damned" by Iron Maiden, and "At a Crawl (2023)" by Melvins.

Don't let all that sunshine and not being in school get you down! We're here to ask Santa for a podcast sponsorship and a baby brother, but in lieu of that, we're going to say hello to some old favorites while we criticize their outfits, the way the holidays should be! Come a-wassailing with us while we discuss 2018's A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding - The Legend of Curly's Gold!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

This week on the show, Bryan and Desmond both watch 1984's Racing with the Moon for the first time. This one sees Nicolas Cage playing support to Sean Penn as he tries to woo the "rich girl" before they both ship off to join the Marines ahead of World War II. On top of Penn, there's more recurrences in the Cageverse like an appearance by Crispin Glover, concern about going off to war, and abortion is a subplot! The 80s were wild, y'all!

This week on the show, Desmond and Duane wince their way through the controversial Taiwanese snakesploitation film Calamity of Snakes. Then, Desmond does a solo rundown of short reviews of the last three books he's finished. In order: The Donut Legion by Joe R Lansdale, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes by Jeff Strand, and Alien: Enemy of my Enemy by Mary Sangiovanni (all multiple-time Dread Media guests). Also, snake songs: "For the Snakes" by Mountain Goats, "House of Snakes" by Pig Destroyer, "The Enemy Beside You" by Crowbar, and "Snakes for the Divine" by High on Fire.

Great Caesar's ghost! The Viking Volcano and The Tennessee Tornado are back to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Hercules - the closest thing to a Superman film within Disney animation's cinematic odyssey! Is the film's irreverent, modernized telling of the hero's life and labors its greatest superpower, its creative kryptonite, or a bit of both? Plus, Christian and Donovan muse over what the film gets wrong (and right) about Greek mythology, great actors who turn out to be rotten people, and quite possibly the most underrated Disney "princess" to date.
