Two True Freaks

In episode 131 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo goes back to animation to for coverage of the 1981 season of Superfriends, another group of three animated shorts.

First, Batman and Robin get caught by a bunch of intergalactic cowboys in “Outlaws of Orion”.

Then the Wonder Twins find their way into trouble when they make the worst possible use of their “Three Wishes”.

And then what episode would be complete without the Superfirneds fighting a giant insect army as a growth serum puts them up against “Scorpio”.

Then in the next segment were going to get a DC Comics villain in plotline that it appears weve seen before when the Superfriends, sans Superman, get caught up in “Mxyzptlks Flick”.

Then were going digging, and Superman and Wonder Woman are going to come with us. On a trip underground to meet Diamond Jack and his robotic cobra after the fall into a “Sink Hole”.

Then were going on an archaeological dig where we meet El Dorado and encounter and “Alien Mummy”.

Next time: Mike will cover Weeks 3 and 4 of the 1981 Superfriends shorts.

Today, on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita uses the power of fleas to try and destroy the Rangers. Then, she uses a jellyfish monster to send the Rangers to another dimension. Plus news:

They're the 30-second segments you fast-forwarded through, ignored, or used for a bathroom break, but when you think about it, you know them better than you realize. They are commercials. In this episode, I talk about advertising and commercials that I remember, both fondly and not so fondly. I begin by going over what makes a good and a bad commercial and then make my way through a bunch of commercials that I can't get out of my head. From cereal to fast food to toys to local car dealerships, it's so much advertising that it's ... INSANE!

At last, the finale of the Shaman storyline. Batman reveals the face behind Chubala's mask, and comes face to face for a final confrontation which will test the faith of Chubala's followers.

But, Batman must also face down Thomas Woodley, who has laide a trap for both Batman and Bruce Wayne, and somebody will die from Woodley's blade.

It's a fast-paced conclusion that will leave Batman embracing his true nature, and going beyond Bruce Wayne in a costume. He will wear the mask, and become the mask.
