Earth-2.net Presents...

The lead-up to Earth-2.net: The Show 900 begins here with four episodes of The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon: "On the Planet Mongo," "Battling a Plant and an Earthman," "The Prison Ship," and "Can Zarkov Save Hawk Mens' City."

Hey, an Actor! returns to profile one of the biggest female box office draws of the 1980s: Sigourney Weaver. Starting with Pandy's first experience of the original franchise that made her name, The Brothers Wilson critically discuss Alien and the qualities it had before the subsequent influence of James Cameron. Then Ian gushes about Kevin Kline after watching the Ivan Reitman political comedy Dave for the first time, before the hosts reminisce about spot-on sci-fi fandom spoof Galaxy Quest. Someone's Flickchart is updated over the course of the discussion, and a new documentary series starring GeekPlanetOnline.com's Dave Probert is planned out on his behalf!

This week we kick off Siegetember with the grand-daddy of modern siege films as Desmond and Aaron Allen discuss John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid gives us a short history of Star Trek fan films as he celebrates 50 years of Trek in his review of the fan film Star Trek: Renegades. If you're locked inside, you might want some tunes to keep you company: "The Windows" by John Carpenter, "Pigs Will Pay (All Cops Are Bad, You Know)" by Propagandhi, "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys, and "The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria" by Mary Shelley Overdrive.

Hannah and Jim wax poetic about one of their favorite game series: Persona. Games covered include Persona 3: FES, Persona 4, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. There's also rampant speculation about Persona 5.

Racist spies, cartoons, and last-minute changes permeate Mike and Tom's discussion of their favorite shapeshifters, as well as the best and worst disguises in fiction. Wait, who was that again?

Ian and Dave find themselves in something of a narrative wasteland with the three episodes of Twin Peaks they are covering this month. In episode 19, Cooper's search for a cabin to buy leads him directly to Jean Renault's hideout, Boring Mike finds himself humiliated in front of the wrestling team by Nadine, and Ben grows ever more eccentric. In episode 20, Major Briggs is debriefed after his return from the White Lodge, Denise goes undercover with Ernie to get the evidence to clear Cooper but things go wrong, and it leads to a final confrontation between Cooper and Renault. In episode 21, the widow of Dougie Milford is held at gunpoint by the Mayor, Leo Johnson wakes up in a foul mood, and Wydham Earle steps out of the shadows. They also recast scenes with actors from the Carry On films, marvel at the presence of David Warner doing not very much, and brave the terror of Jeddy!

This week, Dread Media again dives into the "weird heroes" realm. This time it's an all-Miike edition as Takashi Miike has his own little corner of weird cinema nailed down. First up, Desmond and Darryll reckon with his "family-friendly" superhero otaku film Zebraman. Then, they look at the decidedly un-family-friendly creepy prequel Ichi-1. Here are some weird hero songs: "Heroes" by Celtic Frost, "Heroes from Our Past" by Dropkick Murphys, "Street Fighting Man" by Rage Against the Machine, and "Hero of the Soviet Union" by The Dillinger Escape Plan.

It's dark days for The Undertaker as his secret is threatened, Mankind's cloudy disposition intimidates interviewers on both Shotgun and Raw, lightning strikes for Bob Holly, Dakota Runnels brightens up the ring, and a chance of Sunny Days sets Bret and Shawn on a collision course.

Jim and Hannah pop their heads back in to talk comics, video games, books, and more. And yes, the segment is still untitled. We're working on it.

This week, Dread Media presents an interview with filmmaker Steve Balderson about his brand new film, Hell Town, and his career in independent cinema. Then, Desmond unearths a previously thought lost review of the underground subway Canadian cult shocker End of the Line with Brittney and Jeff from 2011! Of course, as always, there is music: "Everyone I Went to High School with Is Dead" by Mr. Bungle, "High School Murder Case" by Kou Nakagawa, "End of the Line" by Pain, and "Well of Despair" by Skeletonwitch.
