Earth-2.net: The Show

Dave and Mike kick off 2020 with an all-access Geekly News Roundup. In this edition, they discuss trailers, trailers, and more trailers: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), Wonder Woman 1984, New Mutants, Black Widow, Mulan, Free Guy, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Top Gun: Maverick, No Time to Die, and Star Trek: Picard. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

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. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

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"). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Pulp Diction returns to discuss The Mummy Returns! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

In this brief update, Mike discusses the slightly delayed episode 1082, then he reveals the latest patron-exclusive reward. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

"Captain! There be whales here!" Those five little words perfectly sum up the whole of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Listen in as Dan, Dave, and Mike have a blast talking through what is the strangest but also the funniest entry in the Star Trek movie catalog. (Note: This is a repackaged version of The Edge of Forever 50.) Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

As a follow-up to episode 1028, in which Ian, Jim, and Mike Flickchart Forumed the Halloween franchise, the guys have returned once more to discuss Halloween. This time, it's a commentary track of Halloween (2018). Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

After a bit of talk about TIFF 2019, Skyler and Will gab about Scream 2. Along the way they discuss the idiot ball, handsome victims, and praise Laurie Metcalf a bit. Okay, they praise her a lot! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Before the official launch of 12 Minutes to Midnight: The Watchmen Podcast, Dan Toland and Michael David Sims take some time to discuss the origins of Watchmen, how they came to the series, the portions they've skipped over in the past, and Rorschach's status as a hero. http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/12minutes/rss.xml https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/12-minutes-to-midnight-the-watchmen-podcast/id1481476911 Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

We all know that the odd-numbered Star Trek films are trash, right? Not so much, actually. While Star Trek III: The Search for Spock might not be the most exciting Trek film ever made, it does introduce Christopher Lloyd as the ruthless Klingon Commander Kruge, lays groundwork for future films, and sees the destruction of the beloved Enterprise. It also begs some hard-to-discuss questions pertaining to the resurrection of Spock, and demonstrates some shameful password etiquette. Please listen in as Dan, Dave, and Mike have a blast creating The Spock File, and singing their way through the discussion. (Note: This is a repackaged version of The Edge of Forever 49.)

Thanks to Donovan, today you are going to hear interviews with three highly influential Spider-Man writers: JM DeMatteis, Peter David, and Paul Jenkins! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

We would like, if we may, to take you on a strange journey. The Flickchart Forum sees Ian (a paralegal), Dan (a geriatric), and Chris (a professor) take note of and rank all the films name-checked in the song "Science Fiction / Double Feature" from The Rocky Horror Show. It is a veritable time warp focusing on cult horror and science fiction movies from many years ago. So just how does the discussion turn to Power Rangers, "Steve! From Vancouver," and interminable ape-based films directed by Peter Jackson? The answer to that, as well as the forum's individual introductions to Rocky Horror, lie within! Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Stepping outside of his usual arena, The Flying Danishman, Christian Honore, goes three rounds with The Fierce Chicken of Bristol, Tom Stavros Hemmings, over sports. Between bobbing and weaving through their favorite fictional sports, pummeling their least favorite ones, and promoting the greatest sports matches, the two podcasting pugilists also lay down some dubious baseball metaphors, confront the darkest secrets of the Star Trek universe, and pound out rubbish Irish accents. Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.

Today, Dan and Mike discuss all things Supergirl. First they dive into the oddity that is the 1984, Helen Slater-led Supergirl movie. Then they cover three episodes from the 2015 Supergirl TV series: "Pilot," "Stronger Together," and "Worlds Finest." Please visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/earth_2.
