Earth-2.net Presents...

This week on Dread Media, one of Desmond's new favorite authors, Jessica McHugh, stops by to talk about her brand new collection of bee-punk fiction Maiden Voyage and Other Departures, writing erotic horror, teaching writing, and bee puns. So. Many. Bee. Puns. Then, last week we talked about Brian Keene's GoFundMe for his burn fund as a way to help, and the Dread Media Top Five of books to buy to send Brian Keene royalties is continuing the trend. All this, and songs: "Birds, Bees and Disease" by Abolitionist, "The Bees" by Pentagram, "If You Can't Help Your Own" by Hank III, and "Slave the Hive" by High on Fire.

This week, Dread Media dives back into remakes. First up, Tom Deja joins Desmond to talk about the underrated and often forgotten 1980s remake of the 1950s classic The Blob. Then, Desmond goes solo on the brand new revenge remake of Death Wish. Of course, there are always tunes: "Remix (I Like The)" by New Kids on the Block, "Brave New Love" by Alien, "Deathwish" by Solitude Aeturnus, and "Carbon Copy" by iwrestledabearonce.

International Year on Hey, an Actor! leads to a focus on South Africa's very own Charlize Theron, recorded on the 30th birthday of our very own Andrew "Pandy" Wilson! The birthday boy and his brother of ill-repute take in their subject's Oscar-winning performance as a real-life serial killer as dramatized in the 2003 film Monster, as well as early career hit The Cider House Rules, and recent spy action thriller Atomic Blonde. Stay tuned to the end to see why one supporting actor's name is so bothersome, whilst The Brothers Wilson again grapple with the dynamic of recording in the same room! And where in the world will the next actor choice take our hosts?

Ian and Dave watch the final two episodes of Wonderfalls. In "Totem Mole," Jaye and Sharon find themselves involved in the politics of a local Native American community via an old rival of Sharon, and Jaye tries not to become their new spiritual leader thanks to a totem pole. In "Caged Bird," planned celebrations for Darren and Karen's anniversary are interrupted when a bank robber takes the staff of Wonderfalls and Sharon hostage. They talk about the show and pick their MVPs, Dave gets annoyed by terrible TV first aid and overused TV plots, and Statistician Ian is summoned from the netherworld to let you know what show will be covered next.

Taking a break from more serious topics, Pandy and Christian rank their favorite fictional musicians, bands, and songs.

This week, saddle up your space-horse and get ready for a double dose of cheeseball straight-to-video weird Westerns. First up, Duane joins Desmond to discuss Oblivion. Then Desmond goes solo on its sequel: Backlash: Oblivion 2. How about some weird Western tunes: "Walkin' Through the Desert (with a Crow)" by Ghoutown, "Oblivion Stereo" by Amen, "Timelash" by Sumerlands, and "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky (live)" by Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.

This week we play with the senses a little bit. First, the poster for the film is terrible, but this sci-fi / horror action thriller is about an enemy you can't see, as Tom Deja and Desmond review Spectral. Then, as Elmer Fudd says, you have to be very, very quiet when you're hunted by the monsters in Rich the Monster Movie Kid's review of A Quiet Place. Songs: "City of Ghosts" by Entombed, "Spectra Spectral" by Huntress, "The Sound of Silence" by Disturbed, and "The Quiet Place" by In Flames. Send feedback to: [email protected].
