Two True Freaks

In this week's ball-apocalypting episode, Magnus pays homage to Night Of The Comet, an old favorite from the old days which His Excellency has loved ever since the old days, which is when it became an old favorite (from the old days).

Yes indeedy, the burden of civilization is on Magnus this week as he savors every last frame of this celluloid masterpiece, this achievement in non-zombie cinema, this... cheesy 80's movie.

No bitterness though. No, ladies and gentlemen, none of that!

So what else is there to say? Start listening right now before some passing comet turns you into a big pile of dust (or worse)!

Due to the avalanche of awesomeness... wait a tic, there *IS* feedback this week! Because the first segment ran a bit short, Magnus also stretches open the ol' mail sack nice and wide and rambles (at great length) about some feedback sent in by one Professor Alan (of http://relativelygeekypodcast.blogspot.com fame) and it may be time to grind some old axes.

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!

In episode 81 of the Man of Screen Podcast, Mike Zummo finishes off the first half of season 2 with a look at four more episodes of “The New Adventures of Superman” and two more episodes of “The Adventures of Superboy”, both by Filmation.

First, people of Metropolis are going to learn the dangers of picking up a hat off the street and putting it on as they never know when it will contain “The Wisp of Wickedness”. Then Superboy will go on safari and find “The Chameleon Creature”. Then a meteor will bring a strange creature to Earth from Krypton. You wont want to miss what happens when “Superman Meets His Match”.

Secondly, aliens will come to Earth. You know, something different and a Niagara Falls rocket base will suffer the “Night of the Octopod”. Then Superboy will make a serious blunder in “The Great Space Race” before Lois and Superman take a trip to another planet aboard “Brainiacs Bubbles”.

Next time: The second half of Season 2 will begin with “The War of the Bee Batallion”, “The Toymans Super Toy”, “The Cage of Glass” and “The Atomic Superman”. Also the Superboy episodes, “Finger of Doom” and “Krypto, The K-9 Detective”.

Sorry, but we left Brian to lean against a tree and bleed out this week (he had to work). Ezekiel is still being Mr. Optimistic this week and yelling as loud and British as he can that none of his crew will die. Im sure that wont come back to haunt him. Rick and Morales have a short conversation and then him and Daryl play some Walking Dead video game levels. Jesus and Morgan have a spat, Aaron loses someone close and Gregory snivels. Also, stay tuned for our survivor's thoughts on the fun new game: Hill Zombie Roll.
