Earth-2.net Presents...

The Brothers Wilson return to bring you the first proper episode of Hey, An Actor! for 2023, spotlighting Eddie Murphy. Trying to capture the eclectic talents of their subject in the space of three films is a tricky ask, but Ian and Pandy persevere with Murphy's 80s comedy hit Coming to America, his 90s hidden gem collaboration with Steve Martin Bowfinger, and his Oscar-nominated turn in Motown-inspired musical adaptation Dreamgirls. Along the way, Ian gets into his first-hand experience of radio payolas, Pandy is inspired to recite a song from one of the films should Ian ever marry, and we take a second trip to Culture Corner!

Richard Elfman and the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo brought their musical theatrical arthouse cabaret thing to the big screen with 1980's Forbidden Zone! Four decades later, Elfman made a movie where his son poops an obelisk after having sex with his stepmom! It's 2019's Aliens, Clowns and Geeks! We don't get paid for this!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

It's a monster movie extravaganza this week here on Dread Media. In the first of a double feature with Desmond and Tom, a giant insect attacks a weird hospital in the bizarrely titled Blue Monkey. Then, we adventure on to look for the titular Troill of the Norwegian Netflix film. Finally, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Unique Giant Monster Movies that is really just a stealth review for the horror comedy CRABS! Songs included: "Lovebite" by Haken, "Pregnant Insect" by Cobalt, "The Troll" by Cirith Ungol, Even Roger Corman Can't Save You Now" by Mike Trebilcock, and "Hall of the Mountain King" by Apocalyptica.

In this inaugural episode, Bryan first interviews co-host Desmond about his Nic Cage fandom before the two settle into a review of the failed 1981 TV pilot featuring the first film work of Nic Cage (nee Coppola): The Best of Times. It's got comedy, singing, dancing, Jackie Mason, and dramatic monologues? And in case this all wasn't weird enough, it also features the first film work of heartthrob Crispin Glover!

After two dozen episodes, Part of Your World finally reaches a key milestone in the history of Disney's animated output: the tide-turning yet timeless The Little Mermaid. In the show's longest single film review yet, Christian and guest co-host Mixie dive deep into a film near and dear to both of them, surveying everything from its sublime, siren-worthy songs and the original Hans Christian Andersen tale to the film's infamous initial VHS cover, and the great (and now late) Pat Carroll and Rene Auberjenois.

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom present a double feature of men whose lives are being ruined right in front of their eyes. First, what do you get for the man who has everything? Why not buy him a ticket to The Game? Then, in Tam Lin, a young Ian McShane is under the influence of a bohemian succubus. Songs included: "Darkest Day" by Entheos, "A Game We Shouldn't Play" by Helloween, "Tam Lin" by Fairport Convention, and "Circuit Breaker Breaker" by Torso.

The Midnight Movie Show is back and roughly the same as ever! We're kicking off Season Two with the 1964 film that changed pop culture forever: A Hard Day's Night! (We're here to shine a light on obscure cinema.) After that, the Monkees smash that theatrical self-destruct button with 1968's Head! Fab! Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

Season 2 of Channel 37's Midnight Movie Show is coming soon!

This week, Desmond and Tom get a little spoilery in our review of one of the best movies of 2022: The Menu. And, because it's very much a Bentley Little-style story (and title), Desmond follows it up with a discussion of the Prime Video TV adaptation of Bentley Little's novel The Consultant, and a Dread Media Top 5 Bentley Little Adaptations He Wants to See. Songs included: "Hungry for Your insides" by Sanguisugabogg, "Food" by The Pursuit of Happiness, "The Good Ship Lollipop" by Venomous Concept, and "The Weatherman" by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs.

With the studio’s Renaissance just over the horizon, the Honore Litter inspect Oliver and Company - Disney’s loose, dog-centric, and Eighties-tastic adaptation of Oliver Twist. Plus, Christian puts out a call for feedback ahead of the next episode, while the orange-cat-owning and in-no-way-biased Emma learns about the original Dickens novel’s anti-Semitism for the very first time.

This week, Desmond and Tom investigate the case of the two movies from 2022 featuring West Point Cadet Edgar Allan Poe. First up is the not optimal but incredibly well-cast Netflix film The Pale Blue Eye. Then it's time to take a look at Shudder's folk horror / monster movie mashup Raven's Hollow. This week we have a selection of songs inspired by Edgar Allan Poe arranged from least abrasive to most: "Nevermore" by Queen, "The Tell-Tale Heart" by The Alan Parsons Project, "Ravens Guide Our Way" by Grand Magus, and "Carry Stress in the Jaw" by Mr. Bungle.

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom sit through the absolutely misguided 2022 French Canadian remake of Terror Train. Then, Desmond seems to think it's a good idea to cover that film's sequel, Terror Train 2, and the original film that started it all. Train tunes: "Murdertrain a Comin'" by Dethklok, "Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?" by The Monkees, "Black Train" by Moistboyz, "Train of Consequences" by Megadeth, and "When the Link Becomes Missing" by Control Denied.

Bat jump-scares, Rube Goldberg death machines, and the inimitable Vincent Price are the order of the day as Christian and Ian revisit The Great Mouse Detective - an overlooked gem from one of Disney's darkest periods, and one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes adaptations of all time!

Nothing sounds quite like an 8-0-8! And we're going analogue this week. First up, Desmond and Tom check rent the next instalment in the V/H/S series, V/H/S/99. Then, Desmond goes solo on the very divisive Skinamarink, and he very definitively comes down on one side of the argument. Three out of four of these songs were released in 1999: "Surfacing" by Slipknot, "I'm The Slime" by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, "What if...?" by Control Denied, and "Helena" by The Misfits.

After seven long years, our old friend Jeff Strand has returned to chat about some of the multitude of books he's published since we last talked. The two books of focus are his brand new novel, Demonic, and his book on pre-order, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Novelization. Yes, you read that right. Then, Jeff sticks around and we do a Double Dread Media Top 5 Jeff Strand Books. Jeff picks his favourites, and Desmond picks a Jeff Strand Starter Kit of books. Songs included: "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" by John de Bello, "Let Me Bathe in Demonic Light" by The Mountain Goats, "Pressure Release" by Vitamin X, "A Dialogue in B Flat Minor" by In Flames.

Already smack dab in the middle of the 1980s, Christian and first-time cohost Dave Probert brave The Black Cauldron - one of Disney's most infamous flops, as well as one of its darkest films. Does the songless saga transcend its familiar fantasy trappings and hellish production, or is it rightly regarded as a low point in the studio's output? Plus, between the review and the wrap-up, Donovan chimes in on The Jungle Book and Robin Hood, and Tom and Ian join Christian to respond.

This week on the show, Desmond and Duane finally sit down to talk about the horror comedy Hell Baby. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Killer Baby Movies which is way harder than you think it is. Songs included: "Drinking about my baby" by The Damned, "Burn Baby" by L7, "Rosemary's Baby" by Fantomas, and "Sleep Tight Little Baby" by King Diamond. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

Everyone at the Channel 37 Home Office is still on a beach somewhere, but that doesn't mean we aren't still watching goofy shit. The gang comes together to present 1966's Rat Pfink A Boo Boo, winner of the Cannes Etoile de platine award for Outstanding Achievement in Not Being a Typographical Error!Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom present a double feature of adjective-titled films from 2022. First up, in Glorious, a man is stuck in a public bathroom with an elder god who speaks to him through the gloryhole. Then, in Monstrous, Christina Ricci shines in a movie that doesn't. Songs included: "Sweet Evil Sun" by Candlemass, "The Glorious End" by Paradise Lost, "Mother" by Danzig, and "Bad Detective" by Lovelock. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.
