Dread Media

It's the end of the month celebrating the end of the world! We started Apocalyptic August with an Australian Apocalypse film and we're ending it with another one, but a different one this time. Chris and Desmond review the relatively new Guy Pearce / Robert Pattinson vehicle: Rover. Rich the Monster Movie Kid takes a look at one of three TV movies Gene Roddenberry had a hand in in the 1970s: Planet Earth. Not to mention that Desmond forgot a Top 5 last week, so this week he gives you two! First up, a look at his Top 5 Apocalyptic Television Shows, and then he ends the show with a selection of his Top 5 Apocalyptic Songs. Strap and and hang around with us until the light takes you! Songs: "The Chase" by The Doomriders, "The Very Wild Rover" by Cruachan, "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran, and "It's Only the End of the World" by Harley Poe.

The long-awaited return of the Horrorcorps (completely the fault of Dread Media headquarters) sees Reece and Alex taking on "Crystal Lake," a track by frequent Mega Ran collaborator Richie Branson.
