Two True Freaks

In episode 55 of The Man of Screen podcast, Mike is taking the show off the road for a week.

Were leaving the comfy confines of Metropolis and were going to visit New York City, to the home of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. Yes, thats right, Mike is covering an episode of the popular 1950s sitcom, “I Love Lucy”.

Its Little Rickys birthday and his party is coming up, and opposite another classmates party and his mom, Lucy, has made the ultimate promise, Superman is coming to the party.

But what happens when Superman cant attend? What will Lucy do to make her sons birthday party a success? What lengths will she go to? And what does that have to do with Aunt Harriet and a high-ledge act on a ledge.

Find out what happens when Superman does show up and why exactly is Ricky Ricardo more of a Superman than George Reeves?

So, come on the detour as we check out “Lucy and Superman”.

Next time: Back to regular business as we meet Inspector Hendersons double in “Peril in Paris” and then we meet the “Tin Hero”

Its a Two True Freaks tradition ; the Five Minute Freak roundtable movie review, and some of the usual suspects have gathered for the new and last Wolverine movie “Logan”. Scott McGregor, Chris Tyler, Jason Jaconetti, Paul Spataro and Dario Gonzales share their feelings about this unconventional X-movie that marks the last ride for actors Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in this cinematic universe. Does it fit with the other movies in the series? Does it have to? Did they exploit the R rating for excessive gory effect or was this the Wolverine we always wanted to see? So join us for a thrilling, brutal and even sad mutant road trip with the weirdest family vacation since the Griswolds, but with 100 percent more dismemberment!!!

In this week's ball-vanishing episode, Magnus launches an epic megaseries of mega epicness.

For too long (far too long, some would say), Magnus has narrowed his focus down on comics. And we all love comics, it's true. But isn't there more to geekdom than just comics?

Or shouldn't there be?

Magnus sure thinks so! And what Magnus believes is pretty much the definition of what is.

So beginning this week is the aforementioned epic megaseries of epic meganess or something wherein Magnus takes a look back at two separate movie franchises. Or an entire movie franchise in one case and the beginnings of a different franchise in another case.

But anywho, up first this week is Harry Potter & the Sorceror's Stone. Rebecca Johnson was kind enough to join in for the fun this week to take a fond reappraisal of the first of the two Chris Columbus Harry Potter flicks. What worked? What didn't? And what makes Harry so freaking interesting anyway?

Rebecca and His Excellency also take a few moments to explain the humble beginnings of their Potter fandom and where it all came from. The secret origin of their Potter enthusiasm, if you will.

So what more do you need? Start listening now or Rebecca will send the troll over to your house to wreck shop on your bathroom and stuff.

Due to the blitzkrieg of badassitude this week, unfortunately there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But don't cry about it, some is coming in the future!

So dry your eyes! Use the time wisely! This would be an opportune time to send in any feedback you may have as the vault could get totally cleared out of feedback in the relatively near future. So get to writing!

In the meantime, though, don't let the lack of feedback this time get you down! You can still offer your feeble effort at tribute! 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 unprecedented charity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, petitions may be sent to [email protected] for DiManzocorp interns 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!

This podcast, which is hosted by Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country, Taking Flight) 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 out, we take a look at Jack London's The Call of the Wild, his classic novel about Buck, a dog who is taken from his home and has to survive both in the wilderness and mistreatment by men in the Klondike Gold Rush of the early 1900s.

Its the Rick and Michonne sexy searching road show this week as Scott and Mike recap episode twelve of the seventh season of The Walking Dead. RickChonne is finding and fucking their way across the apocalypse in search of guns for the trash heap people. They even stop to enjoy a country fair along the way, but be careful of that Ferris wheel Rick and always keep a bad computer generated deer handy just in case you need to throw something to a herd of walkers. Back at Alexandria, Rosita is becoming worse with the meanness and suicide mission talk and Tara is using poor Judith as her personal therapist. Cue the Peter Gabriel music and “Say, Yes” to this John Hughesesque romantic romp for our two main heroes. And remember kids, if youre going to stand on an unstable roof in the apocalypse, at least make sure youre invulnerable like Rick and Michonne.

Celestia Madonna, Children at your feet...wonder how you manage to make ends meet....

Paul and Dr. Bill start the much talked about, long-awaited, epic Celestial Madonna Saga! First up, a glance at Avengers #128, followed by a closer look at Avengers #129.

IT'S TIME FOR TODD MCFARLANE! YAY!!!

This time around, I take a look at G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #60, the issue that was commanding a pretty good price on the back issue market in the early 1990s because of the art by (then) future Spider-Man artist and Image co-founder Todd McFarlane! I review the comic and dig a little into its backstory (courtesy of Comic Book Legends Revealed) as well as share memories of a sleepover party from 1987 that has something to do with comics and G.I. Joe.
