Will takes a break from Buffy and Angel to discuss the television directing of Joss Whedon. Join Will as he talks about practical-effect bats on The Office and Neil Patrick Harris on Glee. Everything's better with Neil Patrick Harris. Also, consider donating to Earth-2.net at www.earth-2.net/donations.php, and Will might be willing to make his life worse to entertain you.

Will Ackerman brings you the second Zeppos Special, and it's time to talk about Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men. Will gushes, wonders why Wolverine is in this book, and names the MVP character of the run. All this and a little talk about Whedon's work on the original X-Men movie. It's less glowing than the other part of the review.

In this super-sized edition of PotterWatch, Aaron and Christian examine the divisive Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the first of four Potter films directed by David Yates.

This week's Dread Media is a little lighter than usual, but that's okay because the content is full of beefy badassery. First up, Duane and Desmond take a look at the early Tom Hardy vehicle by the director of Drive and Valhalla Rising: Bronson. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. covers a film starring the real Charles Bronson: The Stone Killer. Meaty testosterone-driven tunes for you this week: "The Prisoner" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Nice" by Sick of it All, "The Badge" by Pantera, and "Lady Deathwish" by 3 Inches of Blood.

The Boys Outta Brooklyn once more reunite with their Musical Director, Kelen "B-Hyphen" Conley, to examine the very peculiar, very short movie career of one Anthony Rodgers Nelson, AKA Prince! From the seminal 80s musical opus Purple Rain to the incomprehensibly bad Graffiti Bridge (a film one of us says is the worst he's ever seen), the Boys Outta Brooklyn look at it all. Expect more Morris Day love than one podcast can bear, more catchphrases than any other episode of BITD, and the birth of The Swave! You know we will die for you, so get to clicking!

This month, Will examines spinoffs and crossovers. What is the most spun-off show of all time, why should you be wary if a new character steals the focus of an entire episode for no reason, and what does an autistic kid with a snow globe have to do with any of this? We apologize for any head explosions that may result from listening to this podcast.

Kellen is joined by Hannah Krueger for the first of a trio of episodes discussing a fantastic twist on the Magical Girl genre: Puella Magi Madoka Magica. In the first episode, the pair review the first four episodes ("I First Met Her in a Dream, or Something...," "That Would Be Truly Wonderful," "I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore," and "Miracles and Magic Are Real") of what Hannah lovingly calls "The show that broke Kellen."

Clocking in at just under an hour, this is the longest Previews episode in years!

Dave and Ian continue to make their way through the final season of Blake's 7. In "Traitor," Tarrant and Dayna are sent to investigate how the Federation is expanding so quickly. They discover that a new drug and an old enemy are responsible. In "Stardrive," the crew come to the conclusion that the Scorpio's engine sucks and decide to get a new one. Unfortunately the one they have their eye on is in the possession of the psychotic Space Rats and their improbable hair. They also ask important questions like, which character had their worst week ever between episodes? Why does the Scorpio have a rear viewscreen? And how do you get a crash helmet over a foot-high mohawk?
