Earth-2.net Presents...

The end of The Year of the Rings is upon us, and in a surprise twist that rivals the film Soylent Green, this month's person of interest is the Knight of New Zealand himself: Peter Jackson! The brothers explore two non-Rings films in the form of the 2005 mocap-based gorilla snuff film King Kong, and whacky murder romp Heavenly Creatures. They also discuss the highs and lows of the six Rings films. Along the way there a traditional festive challenge from Christian Honore, which posits which Nintendo character Sir Ian McKellen would best suit, we discover Peter Jackson's cheeky-chappy side in his very own jingle, and did someone say "Email-bot redemption arc?" Plus: a Tomlinson awards that bucks many a trend, and some incredibly bad taste outtakes! Thank you all for a fabulous year of HAA!

Ian and Dave see out 2019 with the last two episodes of Crazyhead. In "Downward Facing Dog," Raquel goes on a date with Harry while Amy tries to warn her about the vision of Harry attacking her. It soon becomes clear that Harry is not telling the whole truth. In "Beaver with a Chainsaw," it is Halloween night and all of Callum's plans are coming to fruition. The gates of Hell are about to be thrown wide open, and the only people standing in his way are Amy and Jake. They also discuss the series as a whole, what they would have liked from a second season, and name their series MVPs. Then they welcome Statistician Ian to let them know how they are going to be kicking off 2020!

It's almost a new year, so Skyler and Will celebrate by reviewing a less-than-great sequel: Rudolph's Shiny New Year. What they find is a cosmology that is questionable at best, some rather unnecessary choices, and characters that are just barely memorable.

This week, we ride out the end of the year with a look at the only collaboration between Dread Media favorite actor Nicolas Cage and Dread Media favorite director Werner Herzog: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Then Tom stops by to give us his thoughts on Cage's historical horror action film Season of the Witch. Finally, I do a top five of recommendations for Nicolas Cage / Werner Herzog double features. All that, plus tunes: "New Orleans is a Dying Whore" by Down, "New Orleans is Sinking" by The Tragically Hip, "Season of the Witch" by Hole, "Wrath of God" by Halford, and "This Year" by Mountain Goats.

In the face of Armageddon, a moral compromise must be made.

Reuniting for the first time in over a year, Pandy and Christian discuss the two-part finale of the original British incarnation of The Office ("The Office Christmas Specials"), as well as a two-part Christmas episode from the American version ("A Benihana Christmas").

Happy Holidays from Dread Media headquarters as we present the annual Christmas episode! This year is a little different, because Tom Deja and I didn't settle on the fact that I, Madman was a Christmas movie until the end of our review. That's okay, because even if you disagree, Tom comes back to go solo on Secret Santa. And, of course, here are your requisite Christmas Scarols: "No Presents for Christmas" by King Diamond, "Diary of a Madman," by Ozzy Osbourne, "Zombie Claus" by Psychostick, and, obviously, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.

The end is nigh.

This week on Dread Media, it's the return of the Roadkill Review as Darryll and Desmond take in a special viewing of Michael Paszt's Nail in the Coffin: The Fall and Rise of Vampiro at the Whistler Film Festival. Then, Tom Deja goes solo on a review of Rivers of Darkness, which features wrestlers Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, and Psycho Sid (so you know it's good). Finally, Desmond returns for a Dread Media Top 5 of wrestling documentaries. Songs included: "Hate the Living, Love the Dead" by The Misfits, "I Wanna Be Sedated" by Mirel Wagner, "Slippin' Into Darkness" by War, "(F@*ked Up) Beyond Belief" and "Coffin Nail" by Death by Dishonor.
