Earth-2.net Presents...

It's a Dread Media Presents debut as MCs and obscure rap aficionados Reece Heinen and Alex Hurt dedicate an entire podcast to going deep on reviews of a single song in the hip hop subgenre of horrorcore. In this inaugural episode, Alex and Reece help us get to know them a little bit before they take on a track from juggernauts of horrorcore: Twiztid and Blaze Ya Dead Homie. "Sick Man" is a triptych from Twiztid's recent 2013 EP, A New Nightmare, featuring their regular collaborator Blaze Ya Dead Homie. The beat, the rhyme scheme, and each rapper's verse is meticulously picked apart like the victims of the titular serial killer. They also discuss the music video for the song, which features horror luminaries Sid Haig and Kane Hodder! Strap in, listen close, and look over your shoulder for Sick Man!

The Hey, an Actor! Christmas Special has arrived, with your hosts opting to take on two films which are not connected by an actor, but a director: Tim Burton. For festive frolics, The Nightmare Before Christmas is reviewed, as Pandy had not seen it until this year. Whereas Ian was treated to another Burton musical in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. And to make up for a smaller staple of film reviews, over 30 outtakes from the HAA! archives are on show, including: Ian's various euphemisms for beer, Pandy's offbeat advert for his wife's side-business, and possibly the most boring outtake in the entire world. That, and there's another Pandy Parody to end the show. The Brothers Wilson wish you all a Merry Christmas and fabtabulous New Year!

As the 2014 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar comes to a close, it would seem The Ghost of Christmas Past is upon us! Join Des and Mike (from 2008) as they cover Fantastic Four #5-8. Time-traveling, pirates, and Doctor Doom! And that's all from one issue! Also, from the letters pages: fans-turned writers, fantasy casting, and casual sexism.

TV 101 is bringing you a double helping of festive happiness. First, yes listeners, there is a Santa Claus and no one ever seems to think about the deeper ramifications of this revelation. Then, Will takes a look at three forgotten Christmas specials that probably should have stayed this way. All this and why Jeffy is terrible.

Please enjoy this episode of The Henry Morgan Show entitled "Christmas Story."

It's time for The Show to get literary on your ass with Little Women.
