Two True Freaks

"My heart is filled with courage!.....But I have cowardly legs."

On this special epiosde of Bots, Bugs, And Babes, we have a special guest with us to watch this Ray Harryhausen classic. My brother Luke Jaconetti joins our dad (Al Jaconetti) and I, as we explore The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973). We will explore many aspects of the film, incluidng production, behind the scenes information, and the glorious stop motion of the master Mr. Ray Harryhausen. We will also hit the mail bag to answer questions sent in for all 3 of us. Join us as we set sail for high adventure with John Phillip Law and Caroline Munro as they battle Tom Baker, WHO was not yet a DOCTOR!

In this week's ball-revealing episode, the secret gets revealed! And Magnus is along for the ride as the splotlight shines on Lex Luthor in Superman #02, this week's comic book of interest.

What exactly would happen if Lex Luthor discovered Superman's secret identity? Well, if you've read Superman #02 before, odds are you already know. Unless you have a really crappy memory or something.

But if you've never read Superman #02 before, THE ANSWER WILL FREAKING SHOCK AND AMAZE YOU!

Sounds a little click-baity, doesn't it?

And yet, commenting on that little plot development here would defeat the purpose of listening to this episode. And, indeed, reading this comic.

So start listening right now. Otherwise, who knows? Maybe Lex Luthor will send Breen and Jenner to pay you a little visit. And we all know what happened to them in the end, don't we?

Those of us who have actually read Superman #02 have anyway.

Also this week, His Excellency Magnus announces an upcoming brand new megaseries coming soon to a podcast receiver near you in the not-too-distant future very soon a short time from now!

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 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!

A lot of people make fun of 1990's comics. So much so, in fact, that you'd think they weren't avidly collecting those comics at the same time you were.

I've got a real soft spot for 1990's comics. And so, starting in December 2017, I'm launching a 6-part mega-series called Cover Date: January 1991.

That's right, Trentus Magnus Punches Reality is going back to January 1991 for a look back at what comics were *REALLY* like. And I want you to test-drive some 1990's comics along with me. Because you just might find something to fall in love with all over again.

The fun starts in December 2017.

It's the eleventh episode of Required Reading With Tom and Stella! This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle: A Barbara Gordon Podcast, The Batman Universe) is two teachers talking about literature. Each episode, we will be taking a look at a single work, analyzing it, criticizing it and deciding if it's worth its place in the canon.

This time around, we're taking a look at Ella Minnow Pea, a novel of letters by Mark Dunn.

Its a Giant Sized Double Issue this week as the Weekly Heroics crew recap episodes seven and eight of Preachers second season.

Next, our team has been whittled down to Scott and Pat trying desperately to fill the holes in the cast. Tulip is feeling the PTSD of being touched by the Saint of Killers, Cassidy is considering options for his dying son and Jesse is being kind of a dick. We check in with Eugene and company in Hell, Tulip meets Featherstone and Jesse does some tech store detective work in his quest for God. Bonus talk about old SNL skits, Peter Straub and Carnivale. Remember kids, only the highest grade spackle will repair holes from Hell bullets! Bingestorm to the Hurt Locker!
