Earth-2.net Presents...

This week on Dread Media, it's a classic hodgepodge episode. First up, Tom Deja and Desmond take a look at Ghosts of the Ozarks, a movie neither of them like very much, but they have a great conversation about it. Then, Desmond comes back for a short review of the cosmic horror novella Dirty Heads by Aaron Dries before talking about some TV he's watched lately, including the latest seasons of Barry and Hacks, and the entirety of NOS4A2. Songs included: "Behind These Walls" by King Diamond, "Under the Pines" by Jonathan Coulton, "Rewind" by Leprous, and "Nosferatu" by Witchery. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

Christian and Emma examine the beautiful yet bleak Bambi a few months shy of the movie's 80th anniversary, as well as its source material's centennial. Do the film's story, characters, and songs hit the bullseye or miss the mark? Does Christian's synopsis of the film contain more sex and violence than the actual film has? And thanks to this film, what's Emma's new favorite bird?

It's an obscure foreign double feature week on Dread Media! This week, the films that Desmond and Tom review are the Argentinian The Power of Darkness, and the British Doctor Sleep (aka Close Your Eyes). And, of course, there's music: "Blind Leading the Blind" by Trivium, "Blind Bleeding the Blind" by Carcass, "Mass Hypnosis" by Sepultura, and "Keep on Breathing" by Cancer Bats.

You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts! This week Tom and I dip our eyeballs back into Ken Russell's filmography with a look at the bizarre Lair of the White Worm.

Ian Wilson joins Christian to survey Disney’s fourth wonder of the animated world: the beloved yet infamous Dumbo. In addition to the film’s sublime cuteness and brief yet regrettable racism, Earth-2.net’s Largest American and Greatest Briton also discuss the Disney animators’ strike prior to the film’s release (including Walt’s less-than-admirable behavior before, during, and after), their respective Disney theme park experiences, and the pitfalls of relying on subtitles while watching movies.

The Flickchart Forum returns with another director in its scope: Stanley Kubrick. Ian Wilson is joined by Chris Johnson and Desmond Reddick to discuss the 13 films in Kubrick's filmography, all of which are very different from one another. Not only are the lists disparate but the discussions take in which films were seen during the panel's formative years, and Chris takes Ian to task for using the phrase "pretentious wank" to describe one of the films in question. Which one? Tune in to find out! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Sir Anthony Hopkins gets his own episode of Hey, an Actor! having made three guest appearances previously. Under the spotlight is his first film, The Lion in Winter, opposite Peter O'Toole, Katherine Hepburn, and HAA favorite Timothy Dalton; his papal turn as one of The Two Popes alongside Jonathan Pryce; and as the central performance in Oliver Stone's Nixon. Along the way, The Brothers Wilson discuss various Welsh actors and shameful instances of farting in public. Also, Pandy gains a new impression to his repertoire, and feedback returns in abundance.

This week is a Dread Media first! Our old friend Greg Lamberson joins us in the waning days (hours) of The Frenzy Moon's Indiegogo campaign to do a double Dread Media Top 5 Favorite Werewolf Movies as an excuse to talk about werewolf movies. What's the best movie werewolf ever? What ridiculous choices did Desmond choose? You need to listen to find out. And that's not all! It isn't a werewolf movie, but it definitely has people dressed as dogs in it. It's a review of the Mexican revenge / home invasion film, Animales Humanos with Duane. And of course, there are tunes: "Blood Spiller" by Cave In, "The Wolf Man Kindly Requests..." by Clutch, "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges, and "Dog Eat Dog" by Tomahawk.

This week it's a classic un-themed double feature. This time, the two oldest reviews in my stash! First up, Desmond and Tom kind of liked V/H/S/94.

Boasting sublime animation, timeless music, and countless colors, characters, and creatures, Fantasia is one of Christian's favorite movies - Disney or otherwise. But what does Emma think of it? Find out as the silly siblings tackle Disney's longest and most ambitious animated film to date, reviewing and eventually ranking all eight of its musical segments. Before and between segments, the duo address the Disney+ racism warning label, Emma gives The Sorcerer a new name, and Christian explains why Deems Taylor sounds like Brainiac.

This week on the show, we've got a loose theme of weird houses and doors. After a life announcement and some solo chatter on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Duane joins Desmond to talk about the locally shot Come to Daddy. Then Desmond goes solo again on Wesley Southard's short novel Try Again. Songs included: "Madness at the Core of Time" by GWAR, "Come to Daddy" by The Dillinger Escape Plan w/ Mike Patton, "When God Closes a Door" by Larkin Poe, and "In Hell Is Where She Waits for Me" by The Black Dahlia Murder.

One of Disney's darkest, yet most hopeful films, Pinocchio has charmed, inspired, and traumatized generations of viewers - including Christian Honore and Donovan Morgan Grant. Join the two as they unpack this paradox, from its catchy songs and marvelous animation to its dastardly rogue's gallery (including a strong candidate for the most evil Disney villain of all time) and depictions of cruelty, drugs, and ethnic stereotypes.

Ian, Dave, and Mike are back for another round of Pulpdiction! This time the guys look at the Will Smith box office flop Wild Wild West, featuring the one, the only, the legendary Jon Peters' mechanical spider! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

This week on Dread Media, Desmond and Tom present a double feature of reviews of newer films with the theme of young women in trouble.

Once upon a time, a visionary cartoon producer put everything on the line to complete a film that would change the world forever: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In this inaugural episode, Christian and his sister Emma examine Disney's first cinematic princess, prince, sidekicks, villain, henchmen, and the film that they inhabit. Along the way, they discuss the film's genesis and legacy, the possibly non-consensual Love's First Kiss, and changes that Disney made from The Brothers Grimm fairy tale that were probably for the best.
