Earth-2.net Presents...

It's two episodes for the price of one! Aaron and Damien make up for the delay with a double episode chock full of things that you're guaranteed to love. Unless you're someone that doesn't like video games and / or podcasts. For everyone else, there's a double-sized Box segment, the finale of the Mass Effect playthrough, and premonitions of the apocalypse. At least Ashley's a bigot.

The Grumpy Old Fans are here, and this month they compare Alpha Flight (1983) #2 to Alpha Flight (2011) #2, Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld #5 to Flashpoint: Secret Seven #2, and Thor #335 to Journey into Mystery #625. Make sure to visit the Earth-2.net store: http://store.earth-2.net

See that guy up there? He's Batman. And episode 15 of Big Damn Heroes just got a bit more Horrible, thanks to a certain lovely lady in the intro. Also, a lot more Shakespearian, with the announcement of a new Whedon project that has both The Heroes squeeing. What do Preston and Hannah find more appealing: the opening episodes of Buffy's fourth season, or the first two episodes of Angel? And who's big pimpin'? Tune in as The Heroes cover "The Freshman" and "Living Conditions" on Buffy, and "City of" and "Lonely Hearts" on Angel!

In this massive episode so big and in a week so fraught with emotional stress, Desmond forgets to mention his hiccups in the film review, and Chris Johnson brings an interview with Kurtis J. Wiebe about his new Image Comics horror series, Green Wake. Then Desmond and Darryll review the legendarily bad film Zombie Lake, and Desmond goes solo on the TV show Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. It's almost two hours of horror-podcasting goodness! Tunes included: "Green Hell" by The Misfits, "White Zombie" by Manimals, "The Lake" by King Diamond, "The Book of Heavy Metal (March of the Metalians)" by Dream Evil, and "Pure Evil" by The Meteors.

Strap in, folks. Damien is about to swing on the spiral and go all Tool Nerd on your asses! In a review that spans almost twice as long as the actual album, the two hosts go over Tool's Lateralus. Get out your graphing calculators, you might need them. Also, Damien mentions the name of a band so heretical to mention on an episode dedicated to the sacrosanct musical opus of his favorite band, that Desmond is compelled to censor it. But is Lateralus an album or a piece of sophisticated Apokoliptian technology? Obviously Damien and Desmond liked the album, but what does Keanu Reeves think? Not to mention Riverdale's astrophysics, the Yngwie Malmsteen count hits two, analogies throughout all of pop culture, and all of life's little mysteries are answered within.

Throughout their broadcast history, Derrick and Thomas have made reference to a particular director they revere as one of the greatest of Great, Great Men. And now they've finally gotten around to devoting an entire episode to the man who embodied the esthetic of the outsider, a man who felt at home in times of trouble and strife, the man for who the phrase "Man's Director" was coined: Sam Peckinpah. Join the Guys Outta Brooklyn as they discuss the career of one of their favorite filmmakers, his turbulent life, and speculate on how he would thrive in a later era of Hollywood. Plus, why Tom feels The Grifters is not true to the Jim Thompson book, Derrick goes off on a rant concerning the state of screenwriting today, and what episode wouldn't be complete without impromptu singing? You know you want to leave your house - and your ears - justified, so get to clicking!

The Commonwealth Crew get all British on your arse this week as they talk about Peter Cushing and Joan Collins in a review of the 1972 Amicus anthology film, Tales from the Crypt!
