This episode is part of our Trivially Crucial Backlog - Episodes recorded previously and until now left unposted.

In this episode the Superman run continues with a single episode for the 3rd and 4th Christopher Reeve Superman films. It’s a severe understatement to say these movies were found to be absolutely ridiculous.

Years ago Mandy got Michael to start watching Supernatural, a show with plenty of horror-esque content in its first couple of seasons (Michael doesn't do horror). 15 seasons later it's time to bid adieu to the Winchesters and their 1967 Chevy Impala.

For the 50th episode of Trivially Crucial, Mandy and Michael explore the core idea behind the show: How stories and media important to our growing outlook on the world, and which ones directly impacted them most.

Mandy and Michael chat about the collected volume of Paul Dini's Zatanna, which itself contains issues 1-16 and Zatanna: Everyday Magic.

Mandy and Michael discuss the values of and differences between storytelling mediums.

Michael and Mandy return just in time to get a discussion of Avengers: Endgame out before the Russo brothers' declared ending to the moratorium on talking about the movie publicly, wrapping up the core saga of the MCU to date.

Catchup continues with Spider-Man: Homecoming, tons of Spider-Man background, and why the X-Men should never be part of the MCU
