In this week's ball-jamming episode, Magnus begins something. Something new. Something exciting.

Something musical!

Yes indeed, beginning this week is Musical Magnus, an irregular feature of Trentus Magnus Punches Reality that will appear on the show whenever your wise leader feels like making one.

To inaugurate the beginning of the launch of the Musical Magnus start-up premiere, Tom Panarese from the Pop Culture Affidavit and In-Country podcasts was persuaded (by a crowbar, a blow torch and a set of jumper cables) into joining in!

And what is this adventure's album, you ask?

Why, it's none other than R.E.M.'s 1991 effort 'Out of Time'. Yes, R.E.M.'s major label breakthrough into mainstream commercial success!

Did Magnus and Panarese love and cherish this album? Or did they loathe and mock it?

A better question to ask would be why they'd spend nearly three hours talking about an album if they despised it.

Points are raised, songs are analyzed, music is critiqued, tangents are followed to their meandering conclusion and you could fairly say a rad time is had by all!

Due to the deluge of ass-kickery, unfortunately there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But don't whine and complain about it because some feedback was addressed just last week and there's more to come in the future!

Patience! The vast backlog of feedback will be addressed in due time. Fear not!

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 week Bingestorm (Also known as BrundleMcTyler) recaps Season one episode three of Agents of SHIELD as we get to see Skye in the field trying to infiltrate some shady tech company dealings and we get the Marvel TV origin of a major comic book villain. Over on the Flash we recap season one episode two as Barry is adjusting to his role as the new metahuman protector of Central city and we get a great DC comics character Easter egg as our big bad. Fire up the cosmic remote and click on over to Weekly Heroics. To the Bingemobile!!!

Paul is joined by Dr. Bill Robinson to look at the fifth entry in the Terminator series. Is it Jaws? You tell me!

Disenfranchised by the modern comics industry, Paul Spataro, Scott Gardner and Bill Robinson now ply the time-stream in a never-ending quest to re-discover and re-connect with that unique brand of fun and excitement that can only truly be found in good ol' fashioned randomly-selected Comic Book back issues!! Journey with them now...back...Back To The Bins!! This week, they go green.

Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast. Or something, hell if I know.

The point though is that Magnus fell in love with the greats of classical music about two'ish years ago.

Now is your chance to follow your beloved emperor on an excursion; a musical journey, one might say. And in the bargain, you'll hear bits of the five classical music pieces Magnus can't get out of his head.
