Magnum, P.I., "Of Sound Mind"

New episode up now! We explore the tropical ‘80s world of Magnum, P.I. with the third season episode “Of Sound Mind”. We discuss the surprising goofiness of Magnum as a character as well as his specific personality choices, realize he’s essentially living the teenage dream, dunk on the wooden playacting of his friends, wonder at the Odd Couple-ness of Magnum and Higgins, and come to the conclusion that the “villain plot” in this episode made absolutely no sense. We also, of course, really get into the sexiness of Thomas Magnum and what contributes to his essential charm. (Hint. It’s mainly the shorts). Katy learns she unfortunately budgets like the P.I., Carrie explains the logic in her dating pool age range, Maddy does not want this to become a sports podcast, and Mack realizes he is as old as the friends from Friends. We lament costume contest losses, discuss bangin’ Halloween parties and why theater kids go so hard, learn what a suit of armor should actually sound like, and share unnerving security guard job facts. You’ll also hear about being traumatized by a sexy Pinocchio as well as learn what makes a great ringtone! Enjoy!
