the Trial of Magneto Part 2 featuring Anthony Oliveira, Tristan Palmgren, Hussein Rashid, Justin Wilder, and Noelle Reed! Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

After the epic first trial of Magneto, where we covered all of Magneto's pre-history, this week we use the standard trial format and prosecute Magneto for all of his pre-Claremont appearances, in the 1960s and early 1970s! Back then, Magneto was out to protect mutants, but he did so by taking over countries, abusing subservients, creating races of mutants to serve him, and ranting and raving. Despite all of that, given his backstory, he remains incredibly sympathetic and compelling.

Hear our esteemed jury have a wonderful and thought-provoking discussion on Magneto. Including Noelle Reed (of X-Men Unraveled), Justin Wilder (of the X-Wife Podcast), Tristan Palmgren (of Aconyte Books), Hussein Rashid (of Ms. Marvel's America), and Anthony Oliveira (of Marvel Voices: Pride!) This episode is WONderful.

Show notes

This episode is very special. Chad is joined by an all-star cast of Hussein Rashid, Carrie Harris, Tristan Palmgren, Noelle Reed, and Justin Wilder for an in-depth look at the pre-history of Magneto, covering all of the retroactive continuity that has become this character's very complicated origin story. I am so very proud of this episode and put a ton of effort and research into making sure we got it just right.

Content Warning: this episode contains discussions about very heavy topics, including anti-Semitism, genocide, concentration camps, mass murder, trauma, and major political issues. Please make sure you take care of yourself when listening.

To be continued in part 2 (featuring Anthony Oliveira and several returning guests). Music and editing by Michael Bell.
