Coming off Tool's magnum opus, Desmond and Damien bid farewell to the band, for now, by covering their misguided and much-awaited most recent release, 10,000 Days. In this episode, Desmond makes several puns so bad that Damien verbally winces. It was all for him! But that's suitable, because while the boys have been on point for much of their coverage of Tool, this is their most divergent record to date! Also, Damien makes his peace with Indian percussionists, but then Desmond goes and puts his foot in his mouth. Then they cover some feedback and choose the next band!

As the guys speed to the end of Peter Davison's era as The Doctor, both the violence and quality of the series begins to pick up. In "Frontios," despite his reservations, The Doctor comes to the aid of an Earth colony besieged by weaponized meteorite showers. Then in "Resurrection of the Daleks," Davros is freed by his creations because they need him to cure a deadly virus, but it all leads to a Dalek civil war. And the ensuing carnage, bloodshed, and death causes Tegan to flee from her life with The Doctor.

Birdemic. Yup. This happened. One of our hosts loves it, one of them hates it, and the other is too tired to really have much of an opinion either way. It's a movie that has more to do with the perils of awkward romance and the evils of global warming than evil birds. So enjoy that.

The Guys Outta Brooklyn return to their upbringing when they welcome modern-day horror movie host Lord Blood Rah to discuss the origins, history, and resurgence of the American Horror Movie Host tradition! Of course, this being a guest host episode of Better in the Dark, it soon morphs into a freewheeling discussion of the state of horror movies in general. It's almost two hours of fun and frights in the BITD manner! Plus, the forgotten blaxploitation mummy epic, why Dr. Frankenstein always has the upper hand when other mad scientists host tea parties, and why it might be a good thing that Guillermo del Toro isn't adapting Lovecraft. It's time to cut up that giant ameba, so get to clicking!

I'm going to need to see your license, registration, and earbuds. This episode, themed around law and order, has Desmond and Darryll reviewing the Blu-ray release of Maniac Cop.

A little bit of cop rock for ya: "It's the Law" by Social Distortion, "Police Truck" by Dead Kennedys, "Pig House" by The Melvins, "South of Heaven" by Slayer, and "I am the Law" by Anthrax.

As the trio make their way towards the end of the second season, it appears the fans have decided their next series in an entertaining batch of e-mails. Then the gang gets to work in reviewing "Appa's Lost Days", "Lake Laogai" and "The Earth King."

In the second of our Halloween-themed episodes, covering Adventure into Fear #10, the Man-Thing gets his own series and celebrates by going all Dr. Phil on a redneck couple with baby problems.
