Earth-2.net Presents...

Doctor, doctor! Gimme the news, we've got a medical horror themed episode for you! That's right. Covering the gamut of genre-based films about our fears of illness and death, for the first time Dread Media looks at medical-themed horror films. First up, Desmond and Darryll take a long look at the misguided-but-compelling medical conspiracy thriller Coma. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. Stays Scary when he reviews the hospital-set slasher Visiting Hours. Desmond comes back to go solo on the body horror-comedy Bad Milo! And, just in case you're still feeling under the weather, Doctor Dread prescribes the following music therapy: "Witchdoctor" by Clutch, "Girl in a Coma" by Fit For Rivals, "I Hate" by Overkill, "Ride the Flying Polyp" by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, and "Death is Not the End" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Get well soon! Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213. Follow @DevilDinosaurJr and @dreadmedia on Twitter! Join the Facebook group! Visit www.stayscary.wordpress.com.

In what had been long-requested and -dreaded, James and Damien finally tackle Godzilla (1998), the tale of an ugly, speedy lizard and the incompetent group of humans on a quest to find it, feed it lots of fish, and destroy every building near it. It's a movie so fixated on cutesy comedy that it forgets to be anything resembling fun or dramatic, featuring the cast of The Simpsons and perhaps the worst actress in all of the Tiradesverse. Also, a great mystery is solved, and Chaka Khan is referenced. Enjoy. Please visit http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com.

After a brief break, For Better or Worse returns with a look at A Knight's Tale! Shana revels in Paul Bettany's glory, Mike has trouble pronouncing "Canterbury," and living next to a bar inadvertently spoils a World Cup match for the husband.

This week, Dread Media rocks once again as we present two interviews by author David Agranoff from BizarroCon 2014. The first interview is with MP Johnson (www.freaktension.wordpress.com). The second interview is with Ross E Lockheart (www.haresrocklots.com). Both of these guys rock. And so does David Agranoff (www.davidagranoff.blogspot.com). If that wasn't enough rock for you, Duane joins Desmond for a review of the horrifically misguided moral metal horror film The Black Roses. Oh boy. There're songs too: "Raise Hell" by Anthrax, "Teenagers From Mars" by The Misfits, "Black Sunshine" by White Zombie, "Soldiers of the Night" by Black Roses, and "Black Roses" by The Browns.

Captain Kirk is faced with two more godlike beings, one of whom is his oldest, dearest friend ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Following that, The Enterprise nearly crashes to its doom once the crew loses all sense of self-control ("The Naked Time"). Also, Dan stuns Mike speechless when he reveals exactly how long it will take to cover every Star Trek television program and movie, Mike pieces together Spock's origin, and the guys debate one particular stat.

This month, the subject of Hey, an Actor! is an actress with less than 20 years experience in the movie game: Amy Adams. Why did the Brothers Wilson think her worthy of selection? Because they've now seen the quirky indie film Junebug, Oscar-worthy biopic The Fighter, and meta-Disney film Enchanted. In addition to their look at their subject's career, Ian and Pandy find time to speak about Christian Bale's Wile E. Coyote pratfalls and random yodeling. And we finally see what happens when Pandy takes one insult too may about the quality of his jingles.

Ian and Dave return for three more episodes of The Middleman. In "The Manicoid Teleportation Conundrum," Aliens living on Earth are being kidnapped and Wendy's break-up video becomes an Internet sensation. In "The Flying Fish Zombifaction," Wendy and The Middleman must find out who is creating zombies that crave trout. And in "The Boy-Band Superfan Interrogation," The Middleman must choose between Ida and defeating a group of alien generals disguised as a boy band. On the way, Dave must innovate to convey something that doesn't translate to audio, while Ian finds himself in the outtake section again. Art Crawl!

Will and Hannah are celebrating episode 71 of Big Damn Heroes with a mighty fine shindig! In this episode, they take a look at the second version of the pilot, creative ways to stretch your budget, how to effectively character- and world-build, River as a plot device, the continued fuckery of the airing order, and one of The Heroes' favorite episodes of the series. Join them for "The Train Job," "Bushwhacked," and "Shindig."

The Commonwealth Crew has returned after a long absence to cap off a week discussing the major British horror studios of the 1970s with a double-sized episode follow-up to the last British horror comic-themed anthology they watched: Vault of Horror! Censorship, neat freaks, pre-Doctor Who Tom Baker, and differing views on Imperialism are among the multitude of things discussed as these two go deep on a sequel that might just be better than its predecessor.

What Hey, Gurlfriend looks at its first video game as Will and Hannah take a glance back at the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
