Earth-2.net Presents...

Matt Smith's first season as The Doctor winds down as he, Amy, River, and a returned Rory must save all of creation from an unknown force ("The Pandorica Opens" / "The Big Bang"). You decide: is it Bill & Ted logic, Bugs Bunny logic, or both? Please visit www.patreon.com/biggerontheinside.

Breaking away from their plans to cover The Big Chill, Shana and Mike opt to look at Saturday Night Fever. instead Why? For the answer to that question, you'll have to listen in. Also, Shana wants everyone to watch an REM video, the Inspector Gadget theme is accidentally sung, and there's a heavy discussion about gender roles. So, you know, your typical episode of For Better or Worse. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

It's our 53rd episode, ladies and gentlemen, and it's a doozy. But in the fun way. On Buffy, one of the hosts' all time favorite episodes happens. It sets the ball rolling for the rest of the season, and has a fairly interesting follow-up in the next episode. Over on Angel, the ball is also set in motion, with all sorts of interesting consequences. Also, one of the more sketch aspects of this season starts here, which Hannah and Will have mixed feelings on. Join them as they cover Buffy's "Conversations with Dead People" and "Sleeper," and Angel's "Apocalypse Nowish" and "Habeas Corpses."

On this very day, 20 years ago one of the most successful children's action franchises of all time debuted: the often-imitated but never duplicated Power Rangers. In honor of this momentous occasion, Will Ackerman and Kellen Scrivens sit down to take a long look at everything from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers in Space.

One host loves CM Kornbluth's story "The Little Black Bag." The other most decidedly does not. Words are exchanged. Also, remember Night Gallery? That show was awesome.

It's a special episode dealing with disability, disfigurement, and justice. Bear with me! I have a hedgehog! First up, Desmond and Chris dissect a film that has the guy from CSI track down a serial killer with a hairlip: Manhunter. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. creeps us all out with a review of the batshit crazy film The Baby. Then Desmond comes back with the Read a Book segment with a vengeance! Three books he happened to read in a row that deal with disfigured heroes trying to save damsels in distress: Knuckleduster by Andrew Post, Storm Demon by Gregory Lamberson, and Ugly As Sin by James Newman. There's some beautifully disfigured tunes for your warped ears, too: "Killing the Dragon" by Dio, "The Mirror and the Ripper" by Volbeat, "I Don't Want to Grow Up" by The Ramones, "God Loves Ugly" by Atmosphere, and "Blood Money" by Eyehategod.

Five years ago this month, Ian Wilson, James Deaux, and Michael David Sims began a journey named The Dark Knight Discussions. Their mission: Meticulously cover every Batman movie ever produced. Today, the trio finally reach their goal with The Dark Knight Rises. Prepare for dated references to all the things, Bane voices, a possible headdesk, and the shock of the ages: Ian Wilson reveals his true nationality! (Sorry for any audio glitches you may hear; Skype was not being helpful during this recording.)

In 2004, 4Kids Entertainment licensed One Piece for English adaptation. This adaptation has the reputation of being one of the worst adaptations ever produced. In 2007, after the license was dropped by 4Kids, Funimation Entertainment acquired the license and produced their own version. Kellen has watched through a significant amount of both of these versions of the show and asks the question: While the Funimation dub is better, was what 4Kids did really as bad as most make it out to be?

On-air production meetings. Timothy Dalton in drag. The new cartoon sensation Lothar & Chums. Gremlins 2 references. Racially insensitive German accents. A list of villains that can't be stopped by a kick to the balls. And some talk about The Rocketeer. Some.

G'day! Join Dread Media as we celebrate the cinema and music of the craziest of continents on this earth: Australia! First up, Duane and Desmond take The Loved Ones to the prom. Then Duane has some Nightmares. But Darryll has The Proposition for Desmond, and it is likely to include alcohol. When doesn't it? And in a themed episode first, all of the songs come from Australia! "Sad Dark Eyes" by The Loved Ones, "Idols and Anchors" by Parkway Drive, "Growing Up (Falling Down)" by The Living End, "Brother, My Cup Is Empty" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and "Headfirst from a Hangman's Noose" by I Killed the Prom Queen.
