Two True Freaks

In episode 180 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo presents his penultimate episode covering season 2 of the Salkind-produced televisions series.

First, were going to have a possession story. This couple split up in the 1960s. Theyre from down under. One was reduced to a shell and the other was not.

Then of course, what happens when Lana picks up the shell? She is possessed by the jilted lovers spirit and she is sent on a quest for “Revenge from the Deep”.

And then everyones favorite obnoxious toymaker makes his return. There will be screeching. There will be airheadedness. There will be clips from earlier episodes this season. We will even get a platitude.

We will learn the “Secrets of Superboy”.

Next time: We finish off Season 2 with perhaps one of the longest episode titles this side of Lois & Clarks fourth season with “Johnny Casanova and the Case of the Secret Serum” and the “The Woman Called Tiger Eye”.

It's the forty-eighth episode of Required Reading With Tom and Stella! This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast, The Batman Universe) is two teachers talking about literature. Each episode, we will be taking a look at a single work, analyzing it, criticizing it and deciding if it's required reading

Required Reading With Tom and Stella

In every revolution there's one man with a vision. And that man is John Byrne. But he did not just have one, he had multiple New Visions, so much so that IDW comics published a series by that name: Star Trek: New Visions.

3rd Degree Byrne takes a look at the first regular issue in the Star Trek New Visions series, a story titled “The Mirror, Cracked”. Now we just have to see if they got seven years bad luck.

The whole crew is here; John Hijatt, Kirk Greenfield, David Thompson, Brian Hughes and Tim Elliott, and they have a great diversion from the regular art here as John Byrne did not draw this story, but put it together as a photo-montage. It is really something to see as Byrne writes it as an original series episode. You can practically hear the voices and the music.

We also talk a little bit about some good TV, like Star Trek Discovery, and discuss the latest news on Byrne himself. Not to worry, it is nothing bad, but we know John Byrne found it shocking.

So pull up a mirror, a cool tall one and relax as 3rd Degree Byrne knock out Star Trek, New Visions #1.

You will wind up talking to yourself over this one.

Huge props to Andrew Leyland for singing our opening theme!
