Earth-2.net Presents...

There's a focus on the new this week as Desmond and Darryll take in a viewing of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and then dive into an insane, freeform discussion on apes in pop culture. Then, listener Al from Halifax sends in a thoughtful review of the first season of the Showtime series Penny Dreadful. There's some simian music, too: "With Man Gone, Will There Be Hope for Gorilla?" by Starvist, "The Apes of Wrath" by GWAR, "London Dungeon" by Ghoultown, and "Simianimal" by Anacondas.

The Brothers Wilson invoke the very spirit of Bob Hoskins to promote the next episode of Hey, an Actor!

After nearly six months, Kellen and James put Animezing Podcast's largest review to date, Gundam SEED, to bed with the final five episodes ("A Place for the Soul," "The Nightmare Reborn," "Day of Wrath," "The Final Light," and "To an Endless Future"). The duo discuss the nuclear option, preachy protagonists, and the body count for this finale, and why they will not be covering the series' sequel, Gundam SEED Destiny. Also, in honor of the series' GENESIS weapon, Kellen makes way too many Sega puns.

While reading through the July Previews, Mike creates a drinking game, calls back to an episode from eight years ago, and embarrasses himself to no end. Please visit http://www.patreon.com/earth_2.

Lamberto Bava's Demons saga is on the docket this week as Desmond and Duane go deep on the first two films in the series. They go from Demons at its inception as a piece of low-budget filler to appease a production company to a discussion of class struggle depicted in Demons 2. On top of that, they also take a look at two of the many films to bear the name Demons 3: first, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a Stay Scary on Demons III: The Ogre; and second, Desmond reviews Umberto Lenzi's Black Demons. There's even some of those demonic songs your parents warned you about: "Am I Demon" by Danzig, "Demon's Mark" by Hank III, "By Demons Be Driven" by Pantera, "Ogre Battle" by Queen, "Demon" by Entombed, and "Demon" by Claudio Simonetti.

After a transporter malfunction causes Captain Kirk to be split in two, things become very uncomfortable for your hosts ("The Enemy Within"). Sadly, that trend continues when The Enterprise comes across a pimp and the women he's selling as wives ("Mudd's Women"). Thanks to the latter episode, the casual sexism count hits a staggering, nearly incalculable high. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/edge.

The Boys Outta Brooklyn finally make good on a promise they made back in their first year to profile the studio that was The Master of the Portmanteau Film: Amicus Studios! Join Tom, Derrick, and special guest host Jim "Hypnogoria" Moon as they explore this legendary British studio, from its inception right up to the bizarre new wave horror mash-up The Monster Club. Plus crawling hand fetishes, Peter Cushing as Doctor Who, and the creepiness that is Angela Pleasance! You know you don't want to be killed by a funky robot, so get to clicking! (And don't forget to follow us on Twitter at @BITDShow!)

HG Wells' The Time Machine holds the distinction of meriting the briefest synopsis in the podcast's history. While deciding if historical importance always equals artistic merit, Wendee and Dan wander off topic towards Dan's hatred of Dickens and all his dark works, Eric Cartman's adventures in suspended animation, and all the good times that yurts have to offer.

Will and Hannah have hit episode 72, and they've realized a few things. One: No matter if he's played by a bitty Zac Efron or Sean Maher, Simon is kind of a massive dickbag. Two: Hannah and Will's ratings of an episode can differ on whether or not they enjoy the scenery, and that Hannah is probably going to the Special Hell. Three: They're starting to put an effort into characterizing someone who's gotten the short stick. And four: Some of the positions they're taking on the portrayal of religion are a touch offensive. Join Will and Hannah as they cover "Safe," "Our Mrs. Reynolds," and "Jaynestown."
