Tune in and prepare for the final stretch!
Tony Stark is back! Iron Man 3 destroyed box office records over the past week (close to a billion dollars world-wide) and with a light weekend ahead (other than the Great Gatsby) it will surely continue its ride.

Nailed it.

Game of Thrones is back for season three on HBO! Three episodes in and already we’ve been treated to some intense twists.

Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels and the future of the series.
This week on AftC we take on the sci-fi adventure comedy, SUMMER WARS, about Kenji, a student who tries to fix a problem he accidentally caused in OZ, an all encompassing digital world/social network, while pretending to be the fiancé of his friend, Natsuki, at her grandmother’s 90th birthday celebration.
The award winning 2009 film has an interesting take on what could be a very near-future problem – what if social networking (and in this case, one gigantic social network) becomes so intertwined with our offline lives that issues online (virus, hacking, etc.) are magnified in the real world, to the point of total chaos?
Tune in for our review of this unique (and very Japanese) take on society in the near-future digital age!
A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.
This week we take a look at the cult-classic film, DARK CITY, a sci-fi noir that has influenced films such as The Matrix and Inception. Though not commercially successful, the film has attained a strong cult following and critical reviews. We discuss what makes the film great, why it stands up through repeat viewings, and why its memory has remained in our minds the last 15 years. Is a man merely the sum of his past memories? Will his memories dictate his future, or can he break free to forge a new tomorrow?
Sunday brought season 3 and the fight with the Governor to a close. Or did it? Tune in as we discuss the season 3 finale, what the future holds for fans of the hit show and turn back to the comic series that started it all.
The Walking Dead is back and so are the Dixon brothers. We take a crack at the latest episodes since the start of the 2013 and reflect on the show that continues to take the country by storm. Dead things in here!
On the run from the mob, a trio of 1920′s Chicago Jazz musicians take a job from an elderly reverend, playing for what they think is his wife’s funeral in the backwoods of Illinois. Unfortunately, the funeral is actually an elaborate cult ritual to raise the spirit of an evil sorcerer who swiftly begins raising the dead and terrorizing the innocent townsfolk. With monsters, moonshiners and mobsters on their trail, the friends must draw upon their various talents to stop this evil, save the townspeople and escape with their lives.
1920′s Jazz, Lovecraft, action-adventure, horror – and not to mention a good bit of humor. What’s not to like? Co-hosts Matt and Chris review DEADBEATS, a graphic novel by Chris Lackey, published by Self Made Hero (The Lovecraft Anthologies 1 & 2).
Co-hosts Matt and Chris take a deep dive back into one of the most popular topics on Antidote for the Commonplace: Horror in Video Games. They preview over twenty upcoming titles for the PC and console systems. From blockbusters such as Deadspace 3 and The Last of Us, to a selection from the explosion of indy games like Outlast, Among the Sleep, and Routine. Even a sneak-peek at a fascinating new game entitled, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
Among other topics discussed: Capcom calls into question their decision to flood the marketplace, transformation of a series from niche to mainstream (i.e. Resident Evil and most recently, Dead Space) and current industry trends.
Psychological horror, first person/third person, weird tales, zombies, aliens, post-apocalyptic – we’ve got you covered.
