Trentus Magnus Punches Reality

The Matrix 04 is coming. Whether anybody likes it or not. And Magnus sees the potential for this movie to be amazing. If nothing else, it's unlikely to be the worst Matrix thing to ever come down the pipeline. Listen and find out why!

In this week's episode, Magnus wraps up his discussion about the Legion Five Years Later for the time being by talking about Legion Of Super-Heroes #12. Well. Most of Legion #12, anyway. Not quite all of it. As of this moment, Magnus is very close to the halfway point of the Five Years Later issues that will be discussed. Because, well, once you get too far beyond Legion #24, the whole Five Years Later concept really starts to unravel. Every good idea is usually accompanied by at least two bad ideas. Anyway. So what more is there to say? Start listening now before your old friends from your adolescence show up on your doorstep with matching leather jackets wanting to get the band back together.

In this week's adventure, Magnus continues the trek through the Five Years Later era with Legion Of Super-Heroes #11.

Because Magnus was starving after finishing up the main discussion about the comic. But not to worry, feedback will resume next week. So what are you waiting for? Start listening now before Tenzil has to defend you in court.

In this week's adventure, Roxxas finally makes his move against the Legion. And things get pretty ugly.

Start listening right now before Roxxas teleports you to a different galaxy in the distant past.

Discretion is not only advised, it's actively encouraged.

In this week's train-derailing episode, Magnus joins forces with Professor Alan of the Relatively Geeky Network to gab (a lot) about Unbreakable, the first entry in M.

In this week's adventure, it's more Radio Free Isengard as Magnus pauses his 2019 Lord Of The Rings rewatch to share a few thoughts about the extended vs. theatrical cuts.

In this week's adventure, Magnus blows the dust off Radio Free Isengard by taking an overdue appraisal of Tolkien. You see, boys and girls, it was long, long (, LONG) ago that Magnus finally watched the movie. But the dance card was so full that there wasn't a chance to release this episode before now. So here it is now. On top of all that, Gene Hendricks writes in to give Magnus a piece of his mind in this week's feedback section. So what else do you want? Start listening right now before time dilates and you get drafted into World War I or something.

In this week's adventure, Magnus ends the Halloween series by, yes, talking about one of the Halloween films (or two of them, from a certain point of view). Yes indeedy, ladies and gentlemen, this week the spotlight shines on the sixth (or fifth, from a certain point of view) entry in the Halloween franchise: The Curse Of Michael Myers. Both the theatrical cut of the film and the producer's cut, to be precise. What's the difference? Which one is best? And does it even matter which one is better since we're talking about The Curse Of Michael Myers here? All those questions and two or three more get answered in this episode. So what are you waiting for? Start listening right now before Michael kills you, kills you to death!

Very often, change comes slow and gradual. But other times, it's sudden and bombastic. Jodie Foster, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola have spoken their minds about comic book movies. Are things starting to change? Are we seeing the start of a preference cascade?

In this week's adventure, the Halloween movie series continues! And this time, it's a movie with a bit more of an obvious connection to Halloween. In what Magnus swears is a total coincidence, this year marks the 25th anniversary of The Crow. Yes indeedy, this is the 1994 oh-riginal! All thrilla, no filla, Eric's a killa! Yeah, Eric Draven kills a bunch of scumbags and lowlifes in this classic. So what else do you need? Start listening now before Eric pays you a visit.

The Halloween season miniseries continues as Magnus takes a look back at the Zodiac killer, David Fincher's Zodiac film and discusses true crime, generally. How does this relate to Halloween exactly? Well, it's a matter of historical fact that Zodiac wore a costume on one occasion. So there's that? Anyway, what else do you want? Start listening now before some tragic-yet-ironic fate somehow related to Zodiac befalls you. Side Note- Two episodes of TMPR in one week? What gives? Well, His Excellency planned this Halloween season series as a four part series. October has five Tuesdays in it; one Tuesday was occupied with an entry in the Joker miniseries and one Tuesday was missed entirely, which leaves only three Tuesdays for four episodes. So two episodes in one week. Here you go!
