Earth-2.net Presents...

In this bite-sized Point Five episode, Tom and Derrick discuss the films of Tyler Perry, as well as his position in the entertainment industry and the black community. Is Perry pandering to his audience? Is his recent turn as Alex Cross a bid to disassociate himself from his fans, or an attempt to expand his horizons? And does he have an obligation to present his fans with better quality product? You know that fat suit is getting hot, so get to clicking!

As the Advent Calendar moves closer to Christmas, today you'll hear three holiday-themed Power Records: Light Up the Tree, Mr. President; Christmas Carol Caper; and The Prisoner of Christmas Island.

From 08 September 1990 to 07 September 2002 Fox Kids was the home to some of the greatest children's programming of its era. Now with 10 years to reflect, Kellen Scrivens and Will Ackerman take a very thorough look at this treasure trove of childhood memories.

Who's this behind our Advent Calendar door? Why, it's Ian Wilson and his annual Comic Reel-lief year in review segment, with previews for the forthcoming year! Beware of kazoo-based time travel!

Mike takes another trip to the 1990s, this time to examine one of the earliest Image miniseries: Jim Valentino's ShadowHawk.

Animezing Podcast wraps up 2012 with Kellen and Hannah reviewing the final four episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica ("I'd Never Allow That to Happen," "I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore," "The Only Thing I Have Left to Guide Me," and "My Very Best Friend"). The hosts consider one of these episodes to be possibly one of the best pieces of anime ever produced, but to understand why, it's best you have a listen.

Nearly 15 years ago, with the launch of the Marvel Knights line, The Punisher was reinvented as an avenging angel. Now all these years later, Mike sits down to reevaluate the initial miniseries called The Punisher: Purgatory.

The Earth-2.net: The Show 2012 Advent Calendar rolls along, and today you'll hear two Steven Spielberg-related Read-Along Adventures: The Goonies and Gremlins!

In their last show for 2012, Ian and Dave watch two more episodes of Blake's 7. In "Animals," Dayna tries to recruit a scientist but discovers his obsession with creating cosplay yetis with comedy horns. She then gets brainwashed by Servalan in what becomes a pretty bad day. In "Headhunter," Avon tries to recruit a scientist but discovers the scientist has been killed by his own creation and is walking about wearing his head. Avon then gets electrocuted in what also turns out to be a pretty bad day. They also get an alternative newcomer's view of the show, the Orgs increase their feedback, and there is gratuitous use of the phrase "wank trifle."

Having fallen behind on Marvel, today Mike attempts to catch up by discussing All-New X-Men #1, Spider-Men #1-5, and Uncanny Avengers #1.
