Two True Freaks

In this week's adventure, INTO THE MORDRUVERSE! Yes indeedy, Magnus Lad continues his trek through the Legion Of Super-Heroes Five Years Later era. You see, boys and girls, your humble host has been podcasting for quite a few years now. Quite a few years, indeed. And never once has he ever fallen asleep while recording. Until this episode, that is. Listen close and see if you can spot the fateful moment. And be thankful that he was only talking about comics rather than driving a car, operating heavy farm machinery or voting.

In episode 134 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo invites some guests over and takes another divergence from his coverage of the Superfriends.

This time hes joined by Patrick Delmore (The Next Generations First Generation), Dario Gonzalez (Eat It & Beat It) and Brian Hughes (3rd Degree Byrne) to discuss “Superman III”, believe it or not, the third movie to feature Christopher Reeve as Superman, and the second to be directed by Richard Lester.

As many know this movie was quite different from previous installments, didnt perform well at the box office, was critically panned and nearly killed the franchise.

But what do these guys think? How has time treated this film 36 years after its release? Is it as bad as they remember? Does it have any redeeming value? Or is it a bunch of garbage?.

So come, forget to do your laundry, lets hit the junkyard for “Superman III”

Next time: After a planned week off, Mike is going to take another week off so he doesnt have to post an episode while on vacation so the show will return on Tuesday, July 16 with the next season of “Superfriends”.

Today, on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Zack shows off his magic skills while the Rangers deal with the Peckster. Then, the Rangers meet Pumpkin Rapper in an episode that actually has nothing to do with Halloween.

More shenanigans with Peter Parker and his Amazing Friends as Andrew looks at AMAZING SPIDER-MAN issue 62 - 67, Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #1 (kind of) and #2 and Annual #5. Read along through encoutners with Medusa, The Vultures, Mysterio and Peter Parker's Parents! It's Mighty Marvel Mayhem fromt eh swinging '60s.

With the popularity of Bohemian Rhapsody, the studios will be rushing to give us musical biopics. This week, Kris Keith joins Paul to take a look at Rocketman, the latest offering. How does it stand up? Listen in and find out.

Scott & Bill were..... on "assignment", so Chris Tyler and Jim Dietz jumped in to cover two books in their absence. Of course it was a good time! Listen in!

In episode 27 of the Man of Scree podcast, Mike Zummo will be joined by Jeffrey Taylor, one of the hosts of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Tim Burtons “Batman”, which was released 30 years ago this week.

Mike and Jeffrey will take a stroll down memory lane, and talk in detail about where they were in their Batman fandom at the time this film came out and what effect it had on their fandom.

Of course, they will talk about the movie itself and they will wax nostalgic about the casting of Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholsons portrayal of the Joker and how they learned all there was to know about Batman.

All that and theyll dip in and out of discussion on other versions of Batman and a little bit on what theyre expecting from Matt Reeve film, commonly referred to as “The Batman”.

So, let them take you back 30 years for “Batman”.

Next time: There are no plans for the next Man of Screen Extra at this time. Check Facebook and Twitter for updates.

Scott and Thomas take a deep drink of Propellant 23 and cover the second episode of the second season. John Steed and Cathy Gale must find a Chinese missile fuel that has entered their realm in an unorthodox manner, in this tale of cold war intrigue. There are airport romances, airplane murders, airport drunks and bakers in peril in this episode. Plus an alternate universe France where no one has a French accent!!! Theres more bad fights, more great banter between Steed and Gale and a lot of drinking going on in this one, but sadly no champagne. Additional content includes a deep tangent on serialized television and the CW superhero shows as well as a discussion of many of the great Two True Freaks podcasts you should be listening to. Take a shot of rocket fuel and join us this month on With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler (That Other) Avengers podcast!

A very exhausted Magnus struggles against exhaustion after an exhausting week filled with... anyway, really sleepy, that's the point. But nothing will stand in the way of some first impressions of Dark Phoenix, which is currently in the process of failing at the box office. Is Dark Phoenix really as bad as they say? Or is there is a hidden gem hidden in the exhausted exhaustion whatever just listen to the show.

Michael Eddington has vexed Captain Sisko by defecting, betraying Starfleet, and matching tactic for tactic. But, even after being captured, Eddington returns to aid Sisko in tracking down a threat to the Federation.

This will lead our dear Captain on an adventure that may change his perspective on his enemy, when he learns that there is a whole other side of Eddington. The adventure will claim a life, and change another.

Join your valiant Prophets crew of Paul Spataro, Dr. Bill Robinson, J David Weter, and introducing Sir Andrew Leyland of the clan Leylan in another installment of the ongoing adventures of four true freaks watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
