Two True Freaks

Welcome to the first episode of Trentus Magnus Punches Reality since the last episode of Trentus Magnus Punches Reality. Which has been a really long time, in fact. Very close to seven months. But the wedding is over, the hiatus is over and it's time to get back to the business of getting back to business.

In this week's adventure, Magnus shines a light on New Avengers v1 #07, the first part of The Sentry storyline -- or the Sentry retcon, if that works better for you. Cuz srsly, it was a pretty big retcon. As big a retcon as Linda always being somewhere around the MCU? Magnus has no way of knowing.

Btw, this episode is old old old. Recorded two years ago, Magnus slapped a brand new intro blurb to beginning to make it sound all new and stuff but we all know nobody will be fooled by that. Certainly not you eagle-eyed (or beagled-eared?) listeners.

Still, what more do you need? It's the New Avengers, it's the end of the hiatus and there's plenty of Spider-Man being Spider-Man as only Bendis could write him. So start listening now before some comedic but highly improbable fate befalls you!

In episode 130 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo returns for another episode of Superman II coverage. That means more guests this time Patrick Delmore and Dario Gonzalez come to the show to discuss “The Richard Donner Cut”, which was released in 2006 around the time of Superman Returns.

Listen to them discuss what they think of this version of the film. Do they consider it definitive? Is it a curiousity? An interesting look of things that may have been? Is it none of those things? Or is it all of those things?

Theyll talk about what they like in this version, what they dont like, whether they prefer this version of the theatrical version.

Then they will answer the most important question.

IS THIS SUPERMAN II?

Listen and find out.

Next time: Mike will return to the Superfriends with the 1981 short episodes.

Today on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: While the Rangers plant trees to help the environment, Bulk and Skull become the first victims of Power Rangers potty humor. Then, Pudgy Pig returns, and finds love. Oh, and the Rangers fight monsters and stuff. Also, news:

After the episode was finished, we also learned that Grant McFarland, who played Lothor and Sensei in Power Rangers Ninja Storm, passed away back in November at the age of 71. Somehow, this news was missed by all of Ranger Nation, but was brought to light after the death of his co-star.
