Earth-2.net Presents...

Someone at some point in the 1990s thought it would be a good idea to have Arnold Schwarzenegger star in a family Christmas comedy movie. The result was Jingle All the Way, and Kellen is joined by James Trenchard to make sense of it all.

When it comes to unconventional Christmas celebrations, does it get much more unconventional than singing pieces of poo and a blood orgy involving adorable woodland critters? No, of course not. To make sense of it all, Kellen and Ian Wilson review South Park's "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" and "Woodland Critter Christmas."

One of the best parts of Christmas is the chance to get together with old friends and family you don't often see. While Christmas in Japan is very different from most of the Western world, Digimon's "A Very Digi Christmas" makes this a principle tennant of its story. Kellen is joined by Will Ackerman to discuss this episode.

Kellen Scrivens loves Christmas. [REDACTED] does not. Kellen and [REDACTED] sat down to review Olive, the Other Reindeer. Kellen thinks that the special's opening number is fun, [REDACTED] is offended by the first line. Oh what fun awaits.

Who doesn't love a Christmas episode that has its first airing in October and does not fit in with the present continuity? If that person is you, then you may not be a fan of Pokemon's "Holiday Hi-Jynx." To find out what Kellen and Chris Johnson felt about this episode you'll have to listen in as the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar continues.

Christmas is about spending time with your family, be they blood, close friends, or the guys with the good drugs in prison. It's about making sure that you can give the best things to your family, regardless of the way how. And it's about looking back on how things used to be. To that end, Kellen and Brett Scrivens review the Trailer Park Boys special "Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself."

Ian and Dave cover two more episodes of Ultraviolet. In "Sub Judice," the team investigate a barrister who's womb is being used to incubate a human / Code V hybrid. In "Mea Culpa," a schoolboy murders a priest. Is it a simple case of teenaged violence, or a symptom of a Code V experiment? Will there be any laughs to be had given the dour nature of these stories? If anyone can find them it's Wilson and Probert.

It's 09 December, which means it's the day that Abed and his mom meet to watch Rudolph, unless something new has happened in her life. In which case, Abed's world may degenerate into some sort of stop-motion animation. To bring the mood up, the gang tries to inject some glee into their lives, but is it enough to get them to Regionals? Find out as Kellen and Tom Hemmings review Community's Christmas episodes "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" and "Regional Holiday Music."

By Crom! This week we pay homage to some of the creations of legendary pulp writer Robert E. Howard. First up, Darryll and Desmond discuss the Puritan-turned-reluctant-avenger: Solomon Kane. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. steps in to present a review of the similarly themed, but non-Howard property Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. Desmond returns with a solo review of 2011's Conan the Barbarian! There's some barbarically violent heavy metal to go along with this menu of massacres as well: "Stone Loner" by Owl, "Puritan Ossuary" by Vit, "White Witch" by Savatage, "Zamora" by Crom, and "The Frost Giant's Daughter" by The Sword.

It's time for The Boys Outta Brooklyn to enter the BITD Coroner's Office and cut open another media enterprise. This time out it's Fox Television's serial killing bag o' stupid, The Following! Join Tom and Derrick as they explain how this Kevin Bacon vehicle violates simple narrative principles, and why Kevin Williamson needs to get kicked in the butt ever day. And if that isn't enough, what's up with our dynamic duo at the end of this episode! You know an English accent doesn't make you evil, so get to clicking (and don't forget to follow us on Twitter at @BITDShow)!
