The 2014 Advent Calendar takes a turn for the sinister as Will Ackerman and TV 101 bring you a look at villainous protagonists. Why do we watch them, what does this say about ourselves, and who's getting an extra large chunk of coal this season from Santa? Please visit http://www.patreon.com/earth_2.

Big Damn Heroes is at episode 82, and what appears to be the meat of Dollhouse season two! Isn't that cute? Topher and Summer Glau are making friends! Surely nothing could go wrong there! Old Whedon favorites come out of the woodwork, all sorts of neat plot twists and advancements are made, and things continue to get more and more fucked up. But at least there's a few laughs here and there! Join Will and Hannah as they cover "The Public Eye," "The Left Hand," and "Meet Jane Doe."

You wanted the best, you got the best! This week Dread Media pays homage to the kings of theatrical rock and roll, the Knights in Satan's Service themselves: KISS! First up, join Darryll and Desmond in looking at the band as bizarre, quippy cosmic gods in their weird (and awful) 1978 TV movie, KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. Then, was it really a good idea for Gene Simmons to give the only copy of a newly dead rocker's new album to an emotionally unstable teenager? Find out as Duane and Desmond are delighted by 1980s heavy metal horror epic, Trick or Treat. There's tunes, of course: "Nothin' To tose" and "Detroit Rock City" by KISS, and "Stand Up" and "Trick or Treat" by Fastway. Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213.

It's four for the price of three as Hey, an Actor ends its 12-month run of looking exclusively at actors by focusing on Quentin Tarantino muse Uma Thurman. Ian puts forward subtle crime comedy Mad Dog and Glory, and Pandy goes with popular forum choice Gattaca. However, the main event sees The Brothers Wilson take on both volumes of Kill Bill, and it's very much brother versus brother as Pandy loves Kill Bill while Ian has a few major criticisms, which threatens to spoil a family Christmas. But fear not, as the exuded merriment includes words that rhyme with "Uma," and a frankly masterful song parody on Pandy's behalf that Guardians of the Galaxy fans will appreciate.
