Magnus Archives Relisten 5, MAG 5 Thrown Away, Spoiler Free Version
Spoiler Free Version of my MAG 5 analysis. Let me know what you think!
Facts: Statement of Kieran Woodward, regarding items discovered in the refuse of 93 Lancaster Road, Walthamstow. Given February 23rd, 2009.
Statement Notes: There are so many posts out there comparing The Magnus Archives to the Twilight Zone because of Jon's narration and the serial creepy story format, but this episode really stands out in mind as Twilight Zone-esque. Like the Twilight Zone, some Magnus Archive episodes deal with things like childhood guilt and cult-behavior, like MAG 4. But other episodes just kind of say "Damn, isn't that fucked up? Anyway," like this one.
I do love Kieran as a character. He's just so weirdly chill and realistic about everything. There's are some statement givers who are still being tormented by fears, some who cause fear, some who are reporting on things that happened to people they know, but there's also this interesting category of people who survived because they played the game right. When the audience says "don't go in the basement" or "call the cops," they listen. Woodward gets through this statement unscathed because he moves on from the creepy dolls heads and reports the teeth, then destroys the "gift" left for him and tries to move on. Alan can't let go, Alan doesn't know the rules of the genre, that's why he doesn't make it out.
Speaking of Alan, Jonny consistently uses obsessive characters really well. There's a lot of horror media where, in real life, it would make more sense for the characters to give up on their investigations of the supernatural or to ignore it in entirely in the first place. The audience is usually (and rightfully) able to suspend reality for the sake of the story in these situations. But what's so interesting about Jonny's writing is that he explicitly states characters like Alan, like Amy Patel, can't stop themselves. It's obsession, it's all consuming, they know it's bad for them, but they just can't stop. It really adds to the audience fear because you're not the only one telling them turn back, their mind is screaming it too, but they still won't listen.
My two new favorite characters in the series are "Matt, who was raised Catholic and never shut up about it," because he is me, and David who "broke the silence by vomiting loudly into a nearby drain," because he is the most realistic horror character of all time.
Character Notes: The post-statement in this episode is just 90% Martin hate. Absolutely unhinged behavior. What if you worked at a restaurant at the end of every receipt your boss just wrote "This waiter is a goddamn loser and I hate him." Wild man Jonathan Sims everybody.

Did we ever figure out what was with the bag of teeth in TMA ep5?? I’m re listening to the series for the first time and I suck at remembering names. I can’t remember if we ever found out what was up with that and if we did I never put it together. Anyone know??

I recently started listening to the Magnus archives and it’s pretty cool
I like the „monster of the week“ vibe they’ve got going

3 more of the patch ideas for my jacket.
Season 1 has so many good episodes, I mean it's a no brainer that the one with Ex Altiora is. But I have a special place in my heart for the confusion of an episode that Thrown Away was/is.
perhaps clichéd but I love Lost Johns' Cave alot it's still one of only like three episodes that actually gives me the chills even relisting to it. I hate caving and Cave diving it was just a bad combo for me. It makes me happy even though the Buried don't get that much attention, it does at least still have some banger episodes.

Redemption Round 3 - Match 27
A Cosy Cabin earned 226 votes last round, the second most votes of any episode in RR2! It's up against Thrown Away, which earned a much more reasonable 144 votes.

Can anyone give me an explanation of mag 5? I find it interesting to hear about what it's like to work in waste disposal, but I don't entirely understand the underlying themes of the ep. Like I get it's ooo spooky happenings look at this bag of weird shit but it feels like there's something more I'm missing.

I just lived my personal Snape/reader fan fiction.
Somebody threw mini Severus away, because he was broken.
I found him and took him home with me. I looked for the best surgeon in town to help me fix him.
Now, he's healing.
I'm going to keep him and love him for as long as he wants to stay with me. I'd never abandon him. 🥺❤

Magnus Archives Relisten 5, MAG 5 Thrown Away
Trash apple teeth! Is this anything
Spoilers ahead!

My two new favorite characters in the series are "Matt, who was raised Catholic and never shut up about it," because he is me, and David who "broke the silence by vomiting loudly into a nearby drain," because he is the most realistic horror character of all time.
Entity Alignment: Whenever I think of this episode, I think of it as the "teeth in a bag" episode. I actually 100% forgot about the metal heart. Now, when you think of those things, it kind of sounds like a Flesh episode.
But, let's all remember our favorite bio majors and their special gift to their professor. The Stranger has a history with teeth. The description of the dolls heads is very "uncanny valley," which is the Stranger's real niche. The thing that really sells me though is Jon's last line in the statement, "All two thousand seven hundred and eighty of them were the exact same tooth." The exact same tooth, apparently from the exact same person, repeated over and over again to the point that the examiner can date them because of their differing stages of decay. You know what that sounds like to me? Someone has been practicing.
The metal heart also says Stranger to me. I know it has a little Flesh energy, but it really reminded me of the hospital episode from season 5. The way the character describes feeling like her body was not her own, that parts of her had been replaced, substituted. The metal heart as the only remanent of Alan feels like that same kind of fear. It's not his, it's not him, but it's all he's got.
Speaking of Alan, does his obsession with watching the house to the point he goes without sleep for days, isolates his friends, and is presumed dead remind you of anyone? He must be influenced by the Eye at least a little bit.
But ignoring entity alignment for a second, Jonny does consistently uses obsessive characters really well. There's a lot of horror media where, in real life, it would make more sense for the characters to give up on their investigations of the supernatural or to ignore it in entirely in the first place. The audience is usually (and rightfully) able to suspend reality for the sake of the story in these situations. But what's so interesting about Jonny's writing is that he explicitly states characters like Alan, like Amy Patel, like Jon, can't stop themselves.

@a-mag-a-day thoughts: I think the reason Thrown Away is such a good episode is because Jonny hadn’t really fleshed (ha) out the Fears yet. And this one is just so ambiguous as to which one I’d could fall into. As someone who has listened all the way through already that makes it so much worse.
This episode is also just a testament to his writing style. In such a short amount of time he’s able to make use care about these characters, which is really impressive!
I really, really hate dolls, so from the start I knew this was going to be a good one. Every person I’ve made listen to this episode has said it’s one of their favorites, simply because of the lack of answers.
I can’t help but laugh every time he shits on Martin. The poor man hasn’t done anything wrong! (Excluding the dog)

Imagine being the cop that shows up after the call from Kieran and his coworkers that they found a bag filled with possible human teeth and then realizing that they spilled the possible human teeth and now you got to pick all the possible human teeth up and put them away. One by one. Each in a little evidence bag. Fully marked. Possible human teeth number one. Possible human teeth number two, etc. Because there's a possibility that its human teeth.

My latest hyperfixation has been boats and ship wrecks. I've learned about the laws, practices, faults, and organizations behind human maritime pursuits. When I told my dad about the stuff, he asked if I wanted to be a sailor. I told him with everything I know I definitely don't.
He told me I wasted my time. That all the energy I used was pointless because I wouldn't use it for anything. It wasn't profitable.
My dad's said a lot of things to me. But I don't think anything has hurt like him telling me my interest in learning is worthless.
