Two True Freaks

In episode 82 of The Man of Screen podcast, its the penultimate episode as Mike Zummo covers Season 2 of “The New Adventures of Superman” and “The Adventures of Superboy” by Filmation Studios.

First, a professor looking to develop honey will accidentally trigger “The War of the Bee Batallion”. Superboy will face off with the “Finger of Doom”, and then well go back to the giant insect motif in “The Toymans Super Toy".

And then things will get interesting as Metropolis is bottled up in “The Cage of Glass”. Smallville will go to the dogs in the Superboy episode, “Krypto, the K-9 Detective” and then Superman will take requests in “The Atomic Superman”.

Next time: Mike will finish his coverage of Season 2 with the Superman episodes, “Luthors Loco Looking Glass”, “The Warlocks Revenge”, The Halyah of the Himalayas” and “Luthors Fatal Fireworks”. Also, the Superboy episodes, “The Neanderthal Caveman Caper” and “The Terrible Trio”.

In this week's ball-revenging episode, Magnus looks back at Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith.

What worked? What didn't? What small things might Lucas have done to improve the entire trilogy? What exactly what Rick McCallum's job?

All these questions and many more are pondered over, considered, pontificated upon and analyzed. Answered? Tough to say.

For a while there, Magnus strongly considered throwing open the doors for feedback this week... but life circumstances got in the way so His Excellency was quoted as angrily muttering "F**k it, we'll do it live" and recording the second segment about a day after first announcing the feed-forward solicitation.

But there was a small effort at feed-forward. And in the absence of meaningful action, it's the thought that counts.

But 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!

Radio Free Isengard returns! In this today's adventure, word reaches His Excellency's ears through email, Facebook, text messages and other things that the rumors are true and Amazon is developing a Lord Of The Rings show of some sort.

Seriously, you people weren't kidding around, you really wanted to hear what Magnus thinks about that.

So rather than reply to everything one at a time, here's a big public reply to everybody.
