Earth-2.net Presents...

This week it's sports entertainment time! Megan picks 2009's Whip It! and Desmond counters with 2008's The Wrestler. Megan gets aggressive and Desmond gets hot. Does Desmond get racial? Maybe. Prefontaine. Prefontaine is the name he was thinking of. Megan talks bout lighting? What's happening here? Masculine tearjerker sounds wrong. But it's oh so right. Marisa Tomei is fantastic, and yes that's because she's naked the entire time. Megan's need for more of the story in The Wrestler forces Desmond to bust out his screenwriting chops. And Megan shocks Desmond with one of her review scores. Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

In another massive episode of Dread Media, Desmond and Darryll present a Roadkill Review on Robert Rodriguez's modern exploitation bonanza, Machete. Then, what does a paranoid conspiracy theorist think about Machete? Dread Media presents part of Alex Jones' radio show to answer that question. Just when you thought it was okay to enjoy a film again, it's only a plot to kill whitey. Then, rational though returns to the podcast as Desmond reviews the latest chunk of releases from Radical Comics. Tunes included: "Down in Mexico" by The Coasters, "Killer in Texas" by Ghoultown, "Master Race Rock" by The Hellacopters, "Roots Radicals" by Rancid, and "Dirty Black Summer" by Danzig.

After saving a long-lost group of space explorers ("The Ark in Space"), The Doctor and friends prevent the Sontarans from devastating a rejuvenated Earth ("The Sontaran Experiment"). Also, our friend Erin writes in with a detailed e-mail comparing The Doctor to Sherlock Holmes.

In the ashes of his daughter, Trigon has risen, laying waste to the world. With no hope of surviving, the Teen Titans press forward, attempting to drive the demon back. However, to win, they'll need the assistance of an unlikely and unwanted ally: Slade! The three-part story "The End" brings the fourth season to a close, and delivers one emotional punch after another.

In this, the last tryout story from Showcase #59, the Teen Titans have to prove the Flips, Bob Haney's insane idea of what a pop group is like, innocent of going on a bank-robbing crime spree. Plus, enjoy Tom's horror as he sings The Flips greatest hits. Funny thing? Those Flips lyrics are still better than anything Lady Gaga has come up with.

With the Aussie away on holiday, Damien is joined this episode by Animazing Podcast's Kellen Scrivens to discuss the top five games they would each want in their dream arcade. Amidst talks of curling, Celine Dion, and other assorted Canadianisms, the guys still manage to pay loving tribute to the halcyon days of yesteryear, with memories so vivid that you'll practically feel the gum sticking to the bottom of your shoes. And oh yes, there will be singing!

Once again, Slade tries to deliver a message to Raven, forcing her to face her destiny ("The Prophecy"). The team crashes on an alien world, leaving Robin and Starfire to discuss their feelings ("Stranded"). Cyborg upgrades himself, and learns a lesson from Beast Boy of all people ("Overdrive"). And Starfire must convince her friends that the strange, pie-making woman is not their mother ("Mother Mae-Eye").

This time around the Teen Titans face a deranged punk rocker ("The Lost Episode"), Control Freak ("Episode 257-494"), monsters in the past ("Cyborg the Barbarian"), a resurrected Slade ("Birthmark"), self-doubt ("The Quest"), alien tofu ("Employee of the Month"), and racism ("TROQ"). Also, James does a perfect impersonation of the Newfu leader, and the duo answers a voicemail about Mas y Menos and how they compare to Speedy Gonzales.

This week it's a mummy special on Dread Media! Darryll and Desmond sit down to discuss Hammer's 1959 effort, The Mummy. Then Brother D from Mail Order Zombie joins Desmond for a What Music They Make segment, discussing the score to the 1932 Mummy film and a bit about the Hammer film score. Darryll comes back for a viewing of the classic Universal film The Mummy before Desmond goes solo on a Dying in the Gutters segment discussing the 1970s Marvel saga of The Living Mummy! All that plus feedback, and the following mummified monster music: "The Mummy Song" by Phineas and Ferb, "Me and My Mummy" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers, "Curse of the Pharaohs" by Mercyful Fate, "Helen Calls to Isis / The Destruction of Im-Ho-Tep " by James Dietrich, "Im-Ho-Tep (Pharaoh's Curse)" by Iced Earth, "The Mummy" by Bob McFadden and Dor, and "Wrap it Up" by The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

In episodes 28 and 31, Tom and Derrick celebrated the anniversary of one of their favorite television series: Doctor Who. Since then, enough changes have occurred that The Boys Outta of Brooklyn have enlisted the aid of Views from the Longbox semi-lackey / co-host (and perpetual Tom nemesis) Shag to provide an overview of the end of the Tennant era and the inaugural season of the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith! The trio discusses - and sometimes argues over - such subjects as the magnificence of Donna, Rose vs. Amy, the identity of The Dream Lord, the value of Russell T. Davies' Whedon-ization of the series, the Skittles Daleks, and other juicy topics. Plus, what is The Carey Mulligan Road? What is The Caruso Box, and why is Christopher Eccleston stuck in it? What if Brian Cox and Dougray Scott owned a bar together? Podcasts with bowties are cool, so get to clicking!
