It's Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula!

It's Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula!
It's time for Mike to read through the December Previews!
This month in Waiting for the Trade, Tom and Chris discuss Valentine: The Ice Death, Spider-Men, and Box Office Poison.
It's day two of the Earth-2.net: The Show 2012 Advent Calendar, and today you'll hear This is My Best: The Plot to Overthrow Christmas, as written by Norman Corwin and starring Orson Welles.
New to Earth-2.net: The Show, Dan and Wendee discuss the 1959 short story "Flowers for Algernon" in this, the first episode of Books Without Pictures! Also, Mike make a major announcement about Earth-2.net: The Show, and begins paying back those who donated to the Shameless Pledge Drive.
Today, Mike presents two Read-Along Adventures adapting cult classics from the 1980s: The Dark Crystal and The Black Cauldron!
In November's Hey, Gurlfriend, Hannah and Will cover season two of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! What surprising references does the show contain? What do Will and Hannah like most about this season? And does a sing-a-long happen? Come on down, everypony!
In this super-sized edition of PotterWatch, Aaron and Christian examine the divisive Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the first of four Potter films directed by David Yates.
This month, Will examines spinoffs and crossovers. What is the most spun-off show of all time, why should you be wary if a new character steals the focus of an entire episode for no reason, and what does an autistic kid with a snow globe have to do with any of this? We apologize for any head explosions that may result from listening to this podcast.
Clocking in at just under an hour, this is the longest Previews episode in years!
Just over three years ago, in episode 339 of Earth-2.net: The Show, Des and Mike sat down to speculate on what a Disney-run Marvel would look like. And now that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm, Dan and Mike do the same for Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
Please accept my apology for episode 569.
You're not here to hear Dan and Mike compare Captain America Comics #7 to Captain America #16, The Arrow #3 to Hawkeye #1, and Whiz Comics #22 to Captain Marvel #2. No! You're here for the pot of gold that is The Rainbow!
Dan and Mike celebrate seven years of Earth-2.net: The Show by laughing and sighing their way through Return of the Jedi! Yub nub!
Though they've recorded over 100 podcasts together, all centered on comic book media, Mike and James have never actually reviewed comic books. But that changes today when Earth-2.net: The Show crosses over with Tranquil Tirades! Why have these two men come together, and what common ground could The Show share with The Tirades? That's easy. They're here to discuss Avengers vs. X-Men #7-12!
Adam and Stephen and back with another Lunch Over Graphic Novels, and this time they discuss Anya's Ghost and Far Arden.

What do you get when you mix a less-than-sober tweet with two transatlantic replies? This four-hour episode! Today, Mike is joined by the Shake and Blake team of Ian Wilson and Dave Probert to discuss Warren Beatty's 1990 adaptation of Dick Tracy! And make sure to listen to the entire show, because there are four minutes of outtakes! (Notes: This episode was recorded months ago, so there is a rather dated reference to The Dark Knight Rises.
