The Magicians: Interview With Madness v2 – When Talk Shows Go to Hell

Dr. Blake Alexander, coroner, sorcerer, and reluctant TV host, welcomes his nervous friend Gabriel Drac—better known as the bumbling “superhero” Masked Chicken—onto The Blake Report. But when the director pushes Blake to humiliate his guest, the King of the Grim Reapers loses his cool. Sparks fly, literally, as Blake defends his friend, clashes with his boss, and vanishes in a storm of supernatural fury. Meanwhile, his son Lance—the Necromancer—nearly steals the spotlight.

A darkly comic tale of loyalty, power, and the dangers of live television when your host can send people to Hell.
