Magnus rewatches the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and shares some thoughts.

In episode 112 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike continues his run toward the end of the 1978 season of Superfriends and theres a bunch of weird stuff on tap this week.

First, something is going wrong on Mars. Its magnetic field is wonky and of course the Superfriends are called in on the case. What are these strange creatures that are taking over Batman? What are their aims? What are their goals?

Who cares?

How will the Superfriends deal with “The Invasion of the Brain Creatures”?

Then were going to have a compound episode. First we get some questions regard the “Legion of Good” that no one really cares to answer and then the Legion of Doom shows its true colors when its members travel to the distant future to take over the Earth.

How will the Superfriends deal with the “Conquerors of the Future”.

Then we go to the circus, or rather the circus comes to us as an intergalactic circus brings its exotic creatures to Metropolis. But are they entertainers or poachers?

Does anyone really have any interest in “The Incredible Space Circus”.

Then we go into battle. A round robin so to speak. What happens when a meddling being from another universe interjects himself into Superfriends business?

He makes enemies fight, thats what.

Find out how both teams rise to “The Final Challenge”.

Next time: It will be the penultimate episode of 1978 Superfriends coverage with the New Superfriends Episodes, “Batman: Dead Or Alive” and “Battle of the Gods” and the Challenge of the Superfriends episodes, “Fairy Tale of Doom” and “Doomsday”.

Batman's Series Finale ends here. The idea behind this retrospective is to explain how Hush is the conclusion of Batman's story in His Excellency's head canon. This isn't The End in a definite sense. It's just where Magnus chooses to say the Post-Crisis Batman's story wraps up. This method of interpretation improves Hush as a story and gives it some much needed poignancy.

Jason and Luke (The Jaconetti Boys!) are back!! This time they aren't here to discuss a horror or monster movie, but to review Neal Simon's classic, The Odd Couple Listen in and find out!

Magnus gabs about #Comicsgate. Is this crossing the Rubicon?

Professor Alan and Gene Hendricks stop by for a Bat-centric episode of Back to the Bins. It's calculated random-ness!!

This time on Earth Destruction Directive it is all out giant monster combat from top to bottom! First, Ultraman interjects himself into a fued between Aboras and Banla that has been brewing for either hundreds of thousands or millions of years, depending on which audio format you choose. Then the monster Hidora is not happy with the state of roads and bridges and takes matters into his own talons! Over in Marvel Godzilla, it's the Big G versus the Big D as Godzilla clashes with DEVIL DINOSAUR! And if those intriguing match ups don't get you to download, we also have news and listener feedback, all in one convenient package on Earth Destruction Directive!
