This week on Dread Media, we have a real treat for you. For possibly the first time in the history of the show, we present a feature review that doesn't have Desmond in it. But Desmond is ridiculously proud to present a Roadkill Review of M. Night Shyamalan's Glass by the hosts of one of his all-time favorite movie podcast hosts: Derrick Ferguson and Tom Deja. Don't fear, Desmond comes back to review Intensive Care with Duane, where they discuss how the movie is like a Steven Seagal film starring a woman who is a private care nurse. Just go with us here. Finally, as if that wasn't enough, Tom comes back to review the Soska Twins' second foray into WWE-produced films: Vendetta. All that, and there are songs: "Steel and Glass" by Candlebox, "The Nurse Who Loved Me" by A Perfect Circle, "Exploitation" by Night Nurse, "Do As I Say" by Prison Book Club, and "Fight" by Early Man.

This week on Dread Media, action month continues as Desmond and Tom discuss the Belgian homage to Italian Westerns and poliziottesco films: Let the Corpses Tan. But it is bookended first by Desmond reviewing and then giving away a copy of Halloween (2018) to one lucky Facebook Group member, and a story of real-life road rage that almost led to bloodshed just this weekend. There are songs: "Halloween Theme" by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies; "Shootout" by Murder By Death; and "Buenas Tardes Amigo" by Ween.

This week, kick off the New Year with some action films in Action January. Or Action Jacksonuary? I'm working on it. First up, Darryll and Desmond not seeing each other for a long time is the disease and a ridiculously drunk review of Sylvester Stallone's Cobra is the cure. Only, they spend more time talking about Rocky than Cobra. Regardless, it's fun. Finally, someone sober comes along and sticks to their guns in Tom Deja's review of a more recent example of Stallone's lesser fare: Eye See You. Kickass action tunes commence: "The Smiling Cobra" by Melvins, "Blatant Violence" by Iron Reagan, "Missed Your Eyes" by Tito and Tarantula, and "High on the Crime" by Turbonegro.

This episode of Dread Media is cursed. The Old Gods, the Universe, and Apple computers tried to keep it from you. But still, Desmond persisted. And he's glad he did because three cinematic masterpieces get reviewed this week. First, our old friends Brittney and Jeff return to the show to review the brand new Netflix film Apostle with Desmond. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid reviews Leaf Blower Massacre and Leaf Blower Massacre 2. Okay, "masterpieces" may have been the wrong word.

This week on Dread Media we present a feature-length conversation with our old friend Tony Wash of Scotchworthy Productions. Since the last time we talked, he's completed two films, The Rake and Skeletons in the Closet, and he's here to talk about them, directing Robert Z'Dar in his final role, and plans for the future. It's bookended by some good tunes, too: "Rake" by Wino, "Skeletons in the Closet" by Alice Cooper, and "5 Shots of Whiskey" by Hank Williams III. Enjoy! Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

Get ritualistic with us this week. Whether your supernatural conjuring is done with just a prick of blood, a lengthened sequence of self-mutilation, or whether your ritual is meant to keep something away, we've got it all this week. First, you may want to rethink trying to conjure the Goddess Ishtar after listening to Desmond and Duane's review of American Guinea Pig: Sacrifice. Then, don't be a dummy and try on random masks in a movie theatre! Rich the Monster Movie Kid knows that now that he's seen Lamberto Bava's Demons. Finally, wrestling fan metalheads try to rescue a poor girl with symbols carved in her body, but are they doing the right thing? Read Adam Howe and James Newman's Scapegoat to find out. All that, plus some great music for your pre-ritual get-together: "Body and Blood" by Ghost, "Accept My Sacrifice" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Save Our Souls" by Motley Crue, "Sin and Sacrifice" by DevilDriver, and "The Ritual" by Testament.

If you ever pine for the "good ol' days" of Dread Media, then enjoy that this week your host speaks through a tooth dangling out of his face.

It's been 34 years in the making, but our old friend Greg Lamberson has finally been able to make his 1980s heavy metal horror film, Johnny Gruesome. It's out in two weeks and he's already completed filming on another film: Widow's Point, an adaptation of Richard and Billy Chizmar's novella of the same name. He's here to chat about the making of both films.
