Dread Media

It's a wild world this week as Megan and Darryll join Desmond on separate reviews. Megan wants her monsters to be a little bit sexier in the television series Sanctuary, and Darryll wants his Nazi zombies from Norwegian splatstick film Dead Snow to be... more subtle? Desmond tries to add a bit of sober levelheadedness to the show, but ends up liking the PG-13 straight-to-video Scary Madison production The Shortcut. It's not worth fighting it. Join the madness. It's better that way. Tunes include: "Sanctuary" by Alice Cooper, "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult, "Sin's a Good Man's Brother" by Monster Magnet, "D.I.B. (Drenched in Blood)" by Turbonegro, and "Zombie Toolshed" by Mary Shelley Overdrive. Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213.
