42:"I Never Wanted to Go to France, Anyway"(S6E12) from 2021-07-15T16:00

38:"Murder By Night"(S7E14) from 2021-06-17T16:00

It was raining in the city by the bay. A hard rain. Hard enough to wash the entire cast of“Magnum, p.i.”over from Hawaii for an episode that’s entirely film noir pastiche. It’s not bad, though it m...

You thought he was dead! But Magnum thinks Mac is alive! Is he seeing things, cracking up, or aware that the same actor has been cast in a similar part but with a fake mustache? We break it down, a...

31:"Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts"(S8E1) from 2021-04-29T18:00

You thought we were dead! But no, after hearing Higgins yell at us we’ve made the bad decision to return for more. We discuss the attempt to undo the damage of killing off Magnum and then bringing ...

26:"Home from the Sea"(S4E1) from 2020-10-01T16:00

This is a special episode. There’s a lot of nonsense, and also a lot of really great stuff. Magnum is lost at sea. Rick, T.C., and Higgins feel the tingling of their Magnum-Sense. In the end, is th...

25:"The Black Orchid"(S1E16) from 2020-09-24T16:00

21:"Of Sound Mind"(S3E13) from 2020-08-27T16:00

This podcast will be our last will and testament. But there’s always a twist! This episode, made in 1982, is strangely reminiscent of two 2019 Oscar nominees. And also an episode of“Scooby Doo.”

20:"A Sense of Debt"(S4E8) from 2020-08-20T16:00

It’s the episode where Magnum goes to Detroit to watch an entire Tigers homestand and ends up meeting star players Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell! Unfortunately, that’s about five minutes of this e...

13:"Laura"(S7E18) from 2020-07-02T19:24:51

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo, it’s that koo-koo episode where Frank Sinatra met that kid detective Tom Magnum. It is dark, it is unpleasant, and Sinatra may just be in it for the Hawaiian vacation. Unlike“La...

Magnum seeks to induce a track star to defect from the Soviet Union while Higgins attempts to bore a KGB agent to death with the theories of Karl Marx. Yep, it’s the 80s.

8:"The Elmo Ziller Story"(S2E21) from 2020-05-28T15:00

John Hillerman does a funny accent in order to save Higgins’s niece’s family rodeo from the hands of her wicked stepmother. It is more ridiculous than it sounds.

7:"The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii"(S1E8) from 2020-05-21T16:00

An actor you might remember from“The Godfather, Part II”steals every scene in this episode about mobsters trying to kidnap a dog. We loved it.

The funny head wounds continue, as Higgins transforms into an even more pompous character in the midst of a 1920s revival party populated by a bunch of rich friends of Robin Masters. Also, T.C. wou...

A private dick from St. Louis arrives on the scene, but there’s this big guy, Tom Magnum, who keeps getting in the way of cracking the case.

2:"I Witness"(S4E21) from 2020-04-15T16:00

Jason gets upset about time zones, but Phil doesn’t remember it that way. David puts on a pig costume and sings“Feelings.”And nobody mentions the dead guy.

1:"Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii"(S1E1-2) from 2020-04-07T20:36:15

The snow is cocaine, and it’s used as a murder weapon involving an incident in Vietnam years before. Welcome to the lighthearted romp that is“Magnum, p.i.”! Also, we discuss the airport bathrooms w...
