Earth-2.net Presents...

Between bickering over key plot points and inadvertently reenacting a major disagreement the film's creators had, Christian and Emma dissect The Fox and the Hound - the first animated Disney film released during the 1980s, the one which prompted Don Bluth's exit from the company, and the first Kurt Russell-, Mickey Rooney-, or Corey Feldman-starring film either host saw. Is it cruelly overlooked or justly forgotten, and would it have been better or worse if Chief had actually died?

Gaspar Noe has always been a provocative filmmaker, and this week Desmond and Duane are checking out his latest provocative film, Lux Aeterna. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Gaspar Noe Films (really, the five other Noe films he's seen in order from worst to best). Songs included: "Lux Aeterna" by Metallica, "Lux Aeterna" by Gyorgy Ligeti, "Ride the Void" by Holy Grail, and "The End of Endings" by The Howling Void. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

This week, filmmaker Jason Eisener joins us to talk about his brand new sci fi / horror film, Kids vs Aliens, and a little bit about Dark Side of the Ring and Tales From the Territories. Then we do a Jason Eisener-themed Dread Media Top 5. Songs included: "Abduction" by Macabre, "After the Gold Rush" by Trio, "Stabbed to Death Outside San Juan" by The Mountain Goats, and "Patient Number 9" by Ozzy Osbourne feat. Jeff Beck (RIP).

The Brothers Wilson proudly bring you Hey, An Actor's end of year episode for 2022, with the featured subject being comedy legend Mel Brooks! Taking in both The Producers and Blazing Saddles, Ian and Pandy discuss America's divergent Axis Powers focus, Carry On films, and The One Show. And of course, this episode brings about the regular favorites of Christian's Casting Challenge, The Archivist's curation of outtakes, and The Tomlinson Awards!

There’s no case too big, or case too small. When you need help, just call. Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Da. Wait. Those rodents and that insect haven’t teamed up yet? Setting this and other disappointments aside, Christian and newcomer-to-the-show Will Ackerman open 2023 by reviewing The Rescuers - featuring Bob Newhart, the villainess who would be Cruella, some rather unfortunate country tags, and yes, that nudity controversy.

This week, Desmond and Duane take a look at the superpowered prison film Corrective Measures. It's a Tubi Original that will end up being one of Bruce Willis' last roles, and it's good?! Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Fictional Prisons. Tunes included: "The Prisoner" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Take No Prisoners" by Megadeth, "Folsom Prison Blues (live from Folsom Prison)" by Johnny Cash, and "The Prisoner" by Iron Maiden. Lights out!

Happy New Year! As has become tradition, we usher in the New Year with an annual "best of" episode. So this week, grab a drink or seven and join me as I run down my top books, television, podcasts, comics, movies, and other releases of 2022. We have some hopes for 2023 to talk about as well. As always, the episode is scored by music from Dread Media's favorite albums of the year. Bring on 2023! Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

In the first episode of 2023, Dan and Mike look at the short-lived Birds of Prey TV show from 2002, then they gush over Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Dan and Mike provide a commentary track for one of the wildest episodes of GI Joe: A Real American Hero: "Cold Slither," the Reagan-era anti-metal episode that is somehow actually metal AF. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

In the last episode of 2022 and the first swear-free one so far, Christian and Donovan get reacquainted with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - one of Disney’s most beloved and faithful adaptations of a literary property. (Also, Christian mixes up Galactus and Thanos. Oh bother.)

The three-part project of the 2022 Greatest Britons culminates with Ian and Tom revealing the ultimate list of their 100 Greatest Britons, the ones who just missed out, and the entrants from 2002 who didn't have a hope in Hell of remaining on the ballot 20 years later. We learn which entries inspired the hosts to do more research, and exactly to what end the 2022 picks are more enlightened in terms of gender, ethnicity, and nationality than those of 2002.

Thanks to Donovan Morgan Grant we have three roundtable interviews with the cast and creators of Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm: 1. Dana Snyder and Carey Means, 2. Dave Willis, and 3. Matt Maiellaro. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Hannah and Jim join The Show today to discuss Black Stars Rise, the Lady Astronauts book series, lots of conventions, and more! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Picking back up from their previous episode on the 100 Greatest Britons, Ian Wilson and Tom Hemmings reveal the second half of their lists as to who they truly consider to be the Top 50 greatest people from their part of their world. These include both notable omissions and picks that draw ridicule, but just because you will know the individual lists of the hosts by the end of the episode, that doesn't mean you know the weighted list, and therefore the definitive Top 100 list. Yet. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Will and Skyler begin their Yuletide Festivities as they watch Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas. What starts as a discussion of a Christmas tie-in film of a soap opera quickly becomes a discussion of one couple's stamina, confusing relationship rhombuses, and Jackee Harry.

This week on the show, it's episode 800 so Tom and Desmond hail to the king, baby! Sit back and enjoy our coverage of one of the weirdest franchises ever: Evil Dead! We go back to 1981 where it all began in The Evil Dead, and follow it with reviews of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn, Army of Darkness, Evil Dead (2013), and even Ash vs The Evil Dead. Songs that will swallow your soul: "Evil Dead" by Death, "Ex-Mortis" by Ice Nine Kills, "March of the Dead" by Danny Elfman, and we bookend the show with "Cabin in the Woods" and "Do the Necronomicon" from Evil Dead: The Musical.

Will and Skyler get into some Santa Shenanigans as they review Santa Claus: The Movie. In between talking about some padded sequences and hammy acting, they also find time to talk about Flintstones Christmas Logistics, Illegal Candy, and one of the darkest openings to a family film ever.

In 2002, the BBC polled the British public as to who they considered to be the 100 Greatest Britons of all time. Because this poll did not include a 17-year-old Ian Wilson nor a 19-year-old Tom Hemmings, the two men in question, now in their late 30s, set about to right this wrong by beginning their own countdown of who they consider the 100 Greatest Britons. This episode sees the hosts countdown from 100 to 51, whilst displaying their non-mutual contempt for explorers, sportspeople, and Margaret Thatcher.

Due to the results of the 2021 Tomlinson Awards, the Most Anticipated Actor for 2022, Natalie Portman, receives the full HAA treatment from The Brothers Wilson. The three films on the docket: sweary, sex-play adaptation Closer; whacky underage assassin Leon: The Professional; and scary, avian-based dance horror Black Swan. Which film leaves both hosts lukewarm, and which inspired many a 90s action film? Also: discover which film from Portman's back catalogue is the personification of a comedy Rock song, marvel at how The Brothers tip-toe around big topics, including questionable French artistry and the Israeli / Palestine conflict, and prepare to vote in the upcoming Tomlinson Awards 2022!

Ho Ho Holy shit, what a bad movie?! This week, as is tradition, Desmond and Duane ring in the holiday season with a review of a Christmas horror film. This week, it's David Hess's first and only film as a director: To All a Good Night. But, because the movie pretty much blows, they instead rundown their own favorite Christmas horror films in an impromptu double Dread Media Top 5 tucked into a review. Then, Duane has been telling Desmond to watch Better Watch Out for years, so he finally does and gives a short review of that much better film. And of course, we pay tribute to one of the greatest film composers of all-time. Carols included: "Snow Dome Dreams" by Angelo Badalamenti (RIP), "No Presents for Christmas" by King Diamond, "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones, and, of course, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.
