Trentus Magnus Punches Reality

One classic Joker story is followed by another classic Joker story.

The Godfather Part III vs. The Death Of Michael Corleone. What a big difference a title can make.

Episode #251 is about Batman #251. Does that seem like a coincidence to you?

Magnus takes a minute to ramble about Pearl Jam's "Last Exit" and the most memorable line from it. After that, Magnus begins burning down Trentus Magnus Punches Reality one piece at a time.

The Caped Crusades continue! In this week's adventure, the Penguin is completely out of ideas for crimes. So he depends on Batman to figure out his next move, and in the bargain trolls him a little bit too.

All thrilla, no filla.

The Caped Crusades megaseries continues! This week the spotlight shines brightly on Criminals, a two-part story published in Legends Of The Dark Knight #69-#70. There's probably more to say but Magnus is too sleepy to get into it.

Here you go.

Too tired to write up anything sarcastic so I'll just say this episode's second segment might sound a little wonky. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that given in the first segment though. Okay, time for some chili dogs now.

In today's music-listening episode, Magnus considers one particular line from a Dream Theater song. After that, he yammers about some Karate Kid stuff, the withering of Facebook and feedback from Tom Panarese, host of/blogger for Pop Culture Affidavit.

In this week's memory-altering episode, Magnus pours a tall glass of Dr Bourbon for a chat with Chris "Quote Marks" Honeywell about the Mandela Effect. What is the Mandela Effect? How does it work? What caused it? Is it even a thing fo real? All these questions get asked in this week's episode. As to whether they get answered, maybe so. Or maybe they did. Until the past changed which changed this episode in the process. Now, who can say? So what more do you need? Start listening right now before the prime operating system resets itself again and wipes you out of existence. Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there's just no time for listener feedback this week. Even 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 trent

No nonsense this week either, boys and girls because Magnus is stricken. Detective Comics Annual #08! Batman v Riddler- Dawn Of The Quiz! Or, why all crime is performance art.

More INTJ stuff. Maybe talking about some fictional INTJ's will help shine a brighter light on this topic. It's an idea at least, right?

No nonsense this week, boys and girls. Magnus is sleepy. It's Legends Of The Dark Knight Annual #05! Batman v Man-Bat- Dawn Of The Something Or Other.

A very sleepy Magnus considers his Myers-Briggs test results.

In this week's permission-requesting episode, The Caped Crusades megaseries continues with no end in sight! And this time around, Magnus takes a deep dive to dive deeply into the first conflict with the Joker. Along the way, your wise leader comments upon stunning Bret Blevins art, clever name anagrams (or reversals) and a few nitpicks with storytelling which are so small you need an electron microscope to verify their mere existence. Is that enough? You'd better start listening right away or else the Joker may drop you into the Gotham River next. Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there's just no time for listener feedback this week. Even so, don't be left out! You too can offer your feeble effort at tribute whenever you want!

Let's talk about some X-Men movies!

In this week's knuckle-turning episode, The Caped Crusades continue as the spotlight falls on Shadow of the Bat Annual #03. Magnus takes a deep dive into Batman's first conflict with Poison Ivy, demonstrating in the process that fandom may owe Joel Schumacher an apology. As with anything though, there are no clean breaks here. Hopefully none of you will ever have to punch someone in the face in self-defense. But if it ever comes to that, you have to know when to turn your knuckles to avoid seriously injuring yourself. Lucky for you though, His Excellency is happy to explain when those circumstances present themselves. Hopefully it'll never come to that though. Bourbon. So what more needs to be said? Download this show right now before mushrooms grow out of your nose or something. Because, seriously, how much would that suck? 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 and the

In this week's anti-bullying episode, The Caped Crusades continue as the spotlight falls on Batman Annual #19. Apart from being probably the most detailed origin story the Scarecrow has ever received, this issue also serves as a kind of chilling PSA against bullying. If you won't refrain from bullying because it's the right thing, you might want to refrain from bullying for, y'know, other reasons. Some of which are detailed in this story. Separate from all that, this story is not only written by Doug Moench (which really ought to be enough all by itself) but it was also drawn by Bret Blevins. So there's some serious talent packed into this story. And the story itself is awesome. You caught that part, right? Because it is awesome. So what more do you need? Start listening right now before the Scarecrow forces your car off the road. 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 a

In this week's rebooting episode, Magnus launches the start of the beginning of the onset of The Caped Crusades, a megaseries that by all rights probably shouldn't even be released right now (or even any time soon). But. Life. So yeah, the megaseries kicks off in a big way, first, by tackling Batman- Year One, by Frank Miller and David Mazuchelli and, second, by dragging Michael Bailey of Views From The Longbox fame in. Magnus and Bailey put Year One under the microscope, confer amongst themselves, consult their respective libraries for sources and discuss vigorously. And also they vigorously discuss. All this and more is coming your way in a podcast episode so awesome that only one episode could contain it. So what else is there to say? Start listening right now before Bailey drives to your house and administers a professional, weapons-grade dropkick to your kidneys. 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.
