Earth-2.net Presents...

This episode finishes off the Sporty September with 1977's Slap Shot and 1992's A League of Their Own. Paul Newman is old. And not even dreamy old. And Slap Shot is, in a word, gratuitous. Megan does get a kick out of old timey hockey, but then makes us all cringe with her fear of under-boob trauma. How does the fated relationship between these two podcasting titans revolve around a hockey puck? And who knew that Geena Davis was so damned hot? Mutant Kangaroos?! Pointy bras? What in the hell is going on? Megan gets super-insulted. Desmond's a little too insistent about how hot Geena Davis is. General merriment abounds.

With everyone else taking the week off , Kellen takes some time to look over a variety of things, including a mini-review of the first volume of Dragon Ball Z Kai, his thoughts about anime on Blu-ray, and the current crop of show being put out in North America.

In this jam-packed episode of Dread Media, five films and a novel are covered. Desmond even talks about a comic, too! He is joined by Darryll first to review the Blu-ray of the 1960s Italian crime film Machine Gun McCain. Then Desmond covers the Feeding the Masses Horror Collection which features micro-budget efforts: Feeding the Masses, Creature form the Hillbilly Lagoon, Necroville, and Splatter Disco. Then a modern pulp novel is reviewed: Dillon and the Legend of the Golden Bell by Derrick Ferguson. Tunes included: "Ballata di Hank McCain" by Ennio Morricone, "Spot Where they Gunned him Down" by Deadbolt, "Nobody Likes You (When You're Dead)" by Zombina and the Skeletones, "Disco's Out, Murder's In" by Suicidal Tendencies, "The Gold Medal" by The Donnas, and "A Delirium of Fireflies" by Mary Shelley Overdrive.

Twilight, glitter guns, and clams?! Has Bigger on the Inside turned into horrible slash fiction? No! Dan and Mike are talking about "Genesis of the Daleks," "Revenge of the Cybermen," and the end of the 12th season.

In Tales of Suspense #81, The Red Skull has the Cosmic Cube and it's up to Captain America to stop him... by begging his foe to knight him? It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't for the villain cosplaying King Arthur. Plus, Tom sings and giggles over having to use the phrase "man-thing" repeatedly.

Aaron's back and it's rants-a-plenty as the guys talk Japanese RPGs, disembodied limbs, and (of course) the power of spanking in combat. They also start the StarTropics playthrough with some yo-yo violence, then walk through some mountains and decode secret messages before chitchatting with some dolphins. Could it be that we're actually dealing with a game even weirder than God Hand? Listen and find out.

Beast Boy's past as part of The Doom Patrol comes back to haunt him, as Brain, Monsieur Mallah, and the rest of the Brotherhood of Evil butt heads with the Teen Titans for the first time ("Homecoming"). Madame Rouge has been assigned to acquire Hot Spot's communicator, but his fire powers present a slight problem for the malleable villain ("Trust"). Control Freak wants another shot at the Titans, but he finds himself pitted against their East Coast counterparts ("For Real"). Starfire befriends a Russian super soldier who's hidden himself from the world ("Snowblind"). Then the Titans go underground as Dr. Light makes a play for a crystalline girl ("Kole"). And Raven has to protect a trio of young superheroes from Monsieur Mallah ("Hide and Seek").

This week, death rock legend Eerie Von joins Desmond to talk about The Misfits, his incredible career in music, photography and painting, and his book Misery Obscura: The Photography of Eerie Von, documenting the rise of The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig. Join us! Every song this week features Eerie Von: "Halloween II" by Samhain, "How the Gods Kill" by Danzig, "Please Don't Wake Me," and "Good" by Eerie Von. Visit Eerie at www.eerievon.com.

It's time for this year's iteration of a Better in the Dark tradition, as Tom and Derrick once again provide you with suggestions for Obscure Horror Films to light up your Halloween festivities. This year, however, they welcome the Patriarch of the First Family of BITD (and host of Dread Media), Desmond Reddick, to join in. The results are an international six pack of horror flicks ranging from the Finish period piece Sauna to the New Zealand (pretending to be Nebraska) should've-been-a-period-piece Strange Behavior to the Spanish chiller Who Could Kill a Child. Plus zombie chickens! Tom Cruise sitting around in his underwear! The world's most un-scary home invaders! Everything goes better with monkeys, so get to clicking!

After a three-month hiatus, Dan and Mike are back with reviews of Wolverine: Old Man Logan and Sandman, volume four: Season of Mists.
