Court is back in session! This time, Tom and Derrick take an hour to celebrate the life, creativity, genius, and work of one of the most prolific television writer / producers: Steven J. Cannell. Join the Boys Outta Brooklyn as they discuss how Cannell used genre conventions to explore character, pioneered now-accepted television storytelling tropes, and recreated himself when his stock was declining. All this, plus Derrick wants to hide the orange juice, lil' Tom gets to stay up late, and talk about how NBC doesn't have the guts to reboot The Rockford Files... mere days before NBC announced a new version of this landmark series!

Our exploration of one of the most influential science fiction franchises of all continues!

As promised some three years ago, The Boys Outta Brooklyn finally tackle one of the most iconic science fiction properties ever made: Star Trek! First up are the movies, and to help Tom and Derrick cover all 11 flicks is the Earth-2.net mastermind himself, Michael David Sims! Beginning with what was supposed to be the pilot for a second Trek show to the Melville-rific second entry that saved the whole damn spaceship to the problematic Next Gen flicks, we cover them all. Plus, Kirstie Alley as an actual hot chick gets replaced by a transvestite, never give Deanna Troi the car keys, Commanders Ricardo and Mcgillicuddy, and Katherine Heigl's stupid face! The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, so get to clicking!

Last year, in the first episode of BITD hosted by Earth-2.net, Tom and Derrick dubbed the summer of 2009 "The Summer of Meh." Well, summer 2010 is as far away from that as possible -- so much so that The Boys Outta Brooklyn have to devote two episodes to cover it all! In the first half, they cover the comic booky flicks Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2, The Expendables, and Machete; announce the winner of our Summer o' Cowboy Fun Contest; answer viewer mail about Matt Helm, Judd Winick and Quantum of Boredo -- I Mean Solace; and have a rollicking discussion about movie adaptation of pulp properties. Plus, a brand new version of the theme song by B Hyphen, which writer thinks Superman is like Brian Azzarello, and news about how you can participate in Episode 100!

It's time for this year's iteration of a Better in the Dark tradition, as Tom and Derrick once again provide you with suggestions for Obscure Horror Films to light up your Halloween festivities. This year, however, they welcome the Patriarch of the First Family of BITD (and host of Dread Media), Desmond Reddick, to join in. The results are an international six pack of horror flicks ranging from the Finish period piece Sauna to the New Zealand (pretending to be Nebraska) should've-been-a-period-piece Strange Behavior to the Spanish chiller Who Could Kill a Child. Plus zombie chickens! Tom Cruise sitting around in his underwear! The world's most un-scary home invaders! Everything goes better with monkeys, so get to clicking!

The latest edition of Better in the Dark brings an icon of drive-in cinema before the docket! Tom and Derrick examine the influence American original Roger Corman had on Hollywood as both a director and a producer in a career that spans five decades. From his Poe adaptations to the long list of creative types he influenced to the series of giant animal movies that prowl the fringes of Syfy, Corman's entire life is put under the microscope. Plus Tom and Derrick mourn Gary Coleman, why you should never patronize a business run by Klaus Kinski, and why a certain film should've been renamed Murder Hyundais!
