I’m getting close to MAG 171 in my TMA relisten and there’s something about that episode that will never not be funny to me. Like, the Magnus Archives is a very serious (and very queer) horror podcast that touches on a lot of contemporary social issues, but as far as I can remember, the only time homophobia is mentioned in the show is the conversation in 171 where Jared Hopworth points at Jon’s boyfriend and is like, “Who’s this, your boyfriend?” Jon says “Yes, actually,” and then they just… move on. Jon monologues for twenty minutes and then Jared asks him, “Are you gonna explode me with your mind, then?” and Jon’s like, “Yeah, I’m gonna explode you with my mind.” And then he does. End of episode. Phenomenal.
