Meanwhile: Corey discovers the Order of the Rose may have built its entire business model on manipulation and disposable messiahs A creepy fox-man appears out of nowhere singing Ace Frehley lyrics like a haunted alley goblin An owl creature eats multiple soldiers onscreen Sypha drops a revelation massive enough to shatter the whole mythology Heath McCoy accidentally channels Randy Savage hard enough to threaten reality itself And through it all, the panel continues the impossible task of adapting Music from The Elder into an actual coherent cinematic universe… one cease-and-desist at a time. THIS WEEK’S SONG: “Dark Light” — KISS (with unexpected assistance from Ace Frehley, alleyway goblins, and purple lightning) FINAL VERDICT: Not a rock opera anymore.
