Earth-2.net Presents...

The power of the written word (Transmetropolitan: One More Time), spy-on-spy anarchy (Black Widow: The Itsy-Bitsy Spider), and murder in gaudy tights (Hack / Slash: Super Sidekick Sleepover Slaughter) are the topics covered in this edition of Waiting for the Trade.

Desmond may be on vacation, but that doesn't stop him and Darryll from delivering an episode packed with content. First, a review of the criminally under-seen and insane Spider Baby. Then cozy up for an epic round of listener Q&A. Also, why are the Dread Duo drinking rye and seawater? The answer can be found within this very episode! Thanks to listeners, Terry, Ian and Austen for their questions. The following degenerate songs get a spin: "Song from Spider Baby" by Lon Chaney, Jr. and Ronald Stein, "Surprise! You're Dead!" by Faith No More, and "Spider Baby" by Fantomas. Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213. Join the Facebook group! Follow us on Twitter @dreadmedia.

In time for the debut of the newest attempt to revive the franchise, Tom and Derrick take a look at the Planet of the Apes series! The Boys Outta Brooklyn examines all five of the films from the 1960s and 70s that made every kid on the playground go Ape, plus the abortive Tim Burton remake. Also, Tom doesn't like Syfy, Derrick explains why he has to go see Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and why Roddy McDowall kicks ass. You don't want our dirty paws on you, so get to clicking!

The longest episode of Animezing Podcast to date features everybody's favorite summer party: Ai-Kon. Kellen is joined by Randy, Steph, James, and special guest Jennah Bullaro in a look back on all the crazy fun of the convention's 10th anniversary.

In this episode of Earth-2.net: The Show, Dan and his friend Jonathan launch the brand new segment Saturday Morning 101! In the first installment, the guys look back on one of the greatest cartoons of the 1980s: Transformers!

Dave Probert and Ian Wilson return to entertain their listener with their thoughts on two more episodes of Blakes 7. In "Weapon," Blake is lured into a trap laid by Servalan that will give her an ultimate weapon. And in "Horizon," the tired crew of the Liberator tries to find rest on a remote Federation planet, but find more than they bargained for. They also discuss disco Superman villains, get a bit unnecessary over Servalan, and discover a strong new contender for the title of Mr. Awesome.

This week sees a crime-ridden episode. First of all, grab a wrench, say "Shut up, crime," and ponder the sex appeal of Ellen Page in a superhero costume as Darryll and Desmond interrogate James Gunn's Super. Then Desmond goes solo while dusting James Ellroy's LA: City of Demons for fingerprints. The following songs are in the police lineup: "No Sense of Crime" by Iggy Pop & James Williamson, "I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero)" by Roadrunner United featuring Michale Graves, "To Live and Die in LA" by 2Pac featuring Val Young, and "Murdera" by Sublime with Rome.

In this somber episode of Bigger on the Inside, Dan and Mike mourn the loss of a companion who's been with The Doctor since his last incarnation. That's right, Tegan, the brash Australian woman with dreams of becoming a stewardess has left the TARDIS to fulfill her career path. We'll miss you, Tegan. Also, as the 19th season comes to a close, Adric gets totally obliterated to much laughter ("Earthshock"), and The Master does something but the guys aren't sure what it is ("Time-Flight").

Bees. My god.

It all started that one summer. Aaron and Damien thought they could kick back and play some indie games for a change. They thought discussions of Don't Look Back and A Triangle Morning's Which Way Game would be good for the podcast. Little did they know that their struggle to find out what's in the box would lead them to an adventure of a lifetime. They learned something about this fickle orb of dirt and water, about the true nature of survival, and what it means to be a hero. Then they were eaten by manticores.
