Two True Freaks

If it's Christmastime, you know what that means -- Earth Destruction Directive and Power Rangers! This time we are taking a look at the Power Rangers Samurai episode "Christmas Together, Friends Forever," which pretty much lives up (down?) to that title. You know its that most magical season when you roll out a clip show in order to have something to air in December. So grab a seat by the Shiba House fireplace and let this little Christmas Miracle help you get in the mood for the season!

In this week's ball-piercing episode, Magnus launches the start of the inauguration of the beginning of the very first episode of the Cover Date: 1991 megaseries.

The purpose of this megaseries is to get a feel for what comics in 1991 were *REALLY* like. And to help you feckless serfs get into the right headspace for 1991, there is commentary on songs from 1991.

No, srsly, Magnus talks about another song a little bit this week.

But in terms of funny-book talk, this week the spotlight shines brightly on Superman #51, written and drawn by the mighty Jerry Ordway. From beginning to end, top to bottom, front to back, side to side and everything in between, your wise leader all but puts this masterpiece under an electron microscope to ensure that a full accounting is made of Ordway's splendid awesomeness.

Really, boys and girls, Magnus couldn't STFU about this issue.

So what more do you want? Start listening right now before you get Bon Jovi'ed.

Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But Magnus has slowly been getting caught up lately. There's been some feedback recently and there's more coming soon! So don't be left out! You too can offer your feeble effort at tribute whenever you want! Yes indeed, you humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is [email protected] as the other seems to be having technical problems.

In an another sublime act of truly ball-shriveling magnanimity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, requests may be sent to [email protected] for the aforementioned corrupt DiManzocorp interns (who probably lack souls) to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! What better way to celebrate the season with Andrew yakking all over his favourite episode of STAR TREK - AMOK TIME! Pour yourself a drink of your top tipple, sit in a comfy chair near the fire and pull up Netflix. It's time to relax.

In episode 86 of the Man of Screen podcast Mike Zummo finishes the first half of Season 3 of Filmations The New Adventures of Superman and The Adventures of Superboy.

This season has become something of a revelation for Mike as the extended Superman stories have made for much richer storytelling than the previous format allowed.

First, you will see what happens when a banished queen comes to Earth and finds the Warlock in “The Team of Terror” and then Superboy will find out what its like to be worshiped as a god in “King Superboy”.

Then a professor will send some iron balls bouncing off an asteroid and send them crashing to Earth. So find out who forecasted the “Rain of Iron” and then Superboy will face off against he “Double Trouble Double Moon”

Next time: Superman will face “The Mysterious Mr. Mist” and “Luminians on the Loose”, as well as the Superboy episodes, “”The Trap of Super Spacemen” and “the Space Rangers”

In this fourth and final part of School Anthem, Magnus casts a borderline contagious eye on senior year of high school as filtered through the musical sensibilities of Alanis Morissette and explains how "Thank U" became that year's anthem.

This week, Bill is on assignment and Paul and Scott extend the Justice League SCORE episode for a second week. This time around, Paul has seen the movie and gives a micro review. Oh, and the boys take a look at two classic JLA Books.

In this third part of School Anthem, Magnus casts a borderline exasperated eye on junior year of high school as filtered through the musical sensibilities of the Beatles and explains how "The Ballad Of John & Yoko" became that year's anthem.

In this second part of School Anthem, Magnus casts a borderline jaded eye on sophomore year of high school as filtered through the musical sensibilities of Pearl Jam and explains how "In My Tree" (a relatively obscure Pearl Jam song in the grander scheme of things) became that year's anthem.
