Creepy music TW :O

Lumpi

My BF just realized something: if you play the last notes of the Protocol Outro in reverse, it turns out to be the MAG drums!! I love it! 😍 Amazing work Sam!

Eph_Exe

CLOWNS AND CREEPY MUSIC? WE ARE SO BACK

Brandon Barnes

HeavenlyBibi

I MISSED THE TAPE RECORDER SOUND I HAD TO GO BACK AND CHECK

DamianJ

Wtf is in the institute the sounds?!? The weird slighering?!?! Tape recorder?!?

Mice and Moonbeams

Well Bonzo did not disappoint on the creep scale! Also that sound at the end.... THAT SOUND AT THE END!!!

tzigi

Given the fact that transcript says "[ERROR] emerges and takes a shuddering breath.. " and the credits feature "Beth Eyre as [Error]" I'd say not, it isn't Jon.

Bella Andersson

@ jack whitehall if you're here, i'm so sorry

Anti

DUDE

Anti

HOLY CRAP THERE'S NO WAY

Ashes

"The trap door opens, the lock falling away and [ERROR] emerges and takes a shuddering breath.." Uhhhhh WHO'S [ERROR] PRECIOUS??

Liddy

Somebody who knows how to do audio get on that whispering at the end PLEASE it's got to mean something

Tati

Ohhhh this was so fun.

Lottie Lynn

BETH EYRE??? AS [ERROR]??? WHO IS THAT

Ajax

wow I love ultimate evil mr blobby

Fynn

ahh that is so much content to make theories over I already have a quadrillion in mind :0

Blue Cat

TAPE RECORDER!?!

FyreFlye23

What was Colin muttering there at the end? And the tape recorder makes an appearance!

Reynard Du Maurier

Well, we can all act surprised, but it was already clear that something is eating canaries in the mine…

Mother of Ferrets

Oh shiiii....... Also listening to the start think yup, that's exactly how 90s TV was 🤣

baeltedyret

That was profoundly terrifying. Well done.

astro

antigonne funn in the magnus institute ruins 😭😭

Ian Mak

I haven't even started but just reading the statement title and content warnings had me giggling in expectation. 😁

Patchrat

?! :?!!!?! !?!! AAAAAHHHHH

candy

(rattling the bars of my cage) who's error?!?!? WHO IS ERROR?????

SqueakyBoo

I. Mr Bonzo was absolutely worth the wait. The Tape Recorder and considering who Beth Eyre was in TMA I am Excite for the Flesh??? Arc

mora!

oh my god it’s HIM?!!!

KilaNova

his teeth indeed were not soft

Thorn

Ok so the Buried and Stranger merged into a new power, the fear of being perceived and then trapped by the expectations of disembodied crowds. That's what connects a lot of these cases.

HemiDemi

How the fuck does a CLICK SOUND EFFECT have me going insane. Holy crap this is such a good episode

Bruna G

The Archives’ Theme at the end 😭

Lisette

Ohmygidohmygodohmygodddd

Tyler H

Just starting and already scream g Bonzo! Bonzo!! Bonzo!!!

rowanoak

My favorite episode yet!!! Omg I love it so much. The nameplate for “Archi-“ can’t possibly be archivist, that would be - wait a tape click noise? OPE

Nawal Fisher

Holy crap it’s getting going!! I wonder who Mr Bonzo is going to eat? And ahhhhhh the tape recorder!!!!! We now have a full month to overanalyze these ten episodes 😂

superandiness

I am currently BEGGING my friends to listen so I do not have to continue screaming into the void. Well done.

Ooof_uhhh_haah

It’s meeeeeee, Bozo the Clown yaaaahahahhahahahhahaha!!

MarlaBothBothIsGood

Mister Bonzo was EVERYTHING I have wished for and more Colin MVP being already in the strong paranoia track WORM TRACKS WORM TRACKS I AM YELLING Also, I am trying to decide what is funniest: Jon the Archie or Gertrude the Archie DOOR OPENING DOOR OPENING STARTS OF SOMETHING THAT COULD BE A LAUGH AH

MarlaBothBothIsGood

Yeah, he is indeed (Who I discovered thanks to some special episode of TMA, this podcast has never failed at the traumatising bit)

orioreo

Going absolutely insane over this... This was so genuinely unsettling, I never felt genuinely creeped out listening to TMA. Amazing episode!!

The existing Person

Beth Eyre (assuming that’s who it was) voiced the women in mag 130

Grace & Will

The tape recorder at the end!

Ashes

So Lucia from the meat ritual statement? Interesting I wonder if that is actually gonna be her or what the implications are

Josiah DeRosa

Took me too long to realize Celia was in Melanie and Georgie’s cult at the end of the Magnus Archives…

Merlin3434

I think we just heard a snipet of season ones big bad

Zoëjo

TAPE RECORDERS AND THE VIOLIN MOTIF HAVE BEEN REACTIVATED??? WHAT???

Jonathan C Bell

I have lost the ability to form a coherent thought. Currently my mind is screaming in an accumulation of equal parts fear and questioning. God this was brilliant!!

Boss_Inosuke

WE ARE MAGNUSING THIS PROTOCOL IMMEDIATELY (but not until April 9th :3)

Trisidael

I finally have a moment to listen to the episode, and HOLY SHIT!!!!! I need to take the time, later, to form a more detailed comment, because I already have SO MANY THOUGHTS!!! 🤯

Reynard Du Maurier

Omg the “you just got berried” sounded “buried” I died for a second

Wendy Reed

Well this was a fabulous birthday gift; thanks to the team for a great 10 episodes. Y'all are amazing

Quizzy1313

ALEXANDER J NEWELL YOU CANT LEAVE US LIKE THIS! Omg I am SCREAMING

Abby-May (Flea)

Holy Clown! Such an amazing episode 😫😫😫

Jenni Lee

...Wow. This scared me a bit. And I do not scare easily. Well done! Looking forward to hearing more about Mr Bonzo.

The Collector

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD SCREAMING AND GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE OVER THIS ONE also doesn’t beth eyre play lucia write in mag 130?? i might be mistaken

Rebecca F

incredible introduction for mr. bonzo, who i knew was going to haunt my nightmares but here is he, absolutely winning at it. im also currently losing my shit over the last, ah, five minutes? 30 seconds? I'll be listening with waveform up until it's that time again

Reynard Du Maurier

Oh, the one where Lucia visits an old temple, find it disappointingly empty, tries to walk away but sh*t happens?? lol I don’t see the connection/ jkjk

Křeček Tinková

I am just now finally starting to process everything that happened in this episode and I might be going slightly insane. No idea how I'm supposed to survive a whole month!

Spooknett

poor gwen 😭 she sounded horrified. bless her. can't imagine how her next convo with lena is gonna go

ChyouX

I'm sorry, 'and [ERROR] emerges'??? You can't hiatus on that 👁️👄👁️

Heather Ferguson

I was unfortunate enough to see Mr. Blobby on tv, I can’t ever unsee him

Ian

I... but... wait... we have to WAIT now?! Bravo!

Cas D

*Screaming crying throwing up all at once* WHAT IS HAPPENING?! First Colin is back being all secretive, Gwen unleashing Bonzo on who knows what, & then someone returning (Jon, Martin, Elias? Someone else?) Y'all really gonna kill us with these back to back cliff hangers! 😱👀☠️ Also idk if it's just me but I found it really hard to understand the Mr. Bonzo sounds particularly his name, so had to rely on transcript to actually know what was said. so idk if any cleaning of audio can be done?

Fae

I see Jonny was also subjected to a lot of Noel’s House Party growing up. I had to give my Italian partner a rundown on that icon of British millennial childhood so he could properly appreciate how great this episode was.

Kae

I…. I need to process this….

Waffles ?

Is anyone else seeing the parallel between Mr.Bonzo and Jared Hopsworth? They’re both being sent people to kill! Not only that but a parallel between Orsinov and Bonzo too. The only difference is Orsinov killed their creator and Bonzo is keeping them captive.

Grae Rose

The transcript is attached at the bottom of the show notes. It won't be in the public folder until the public episode drops.

Cas D

Oh yeah no, I did see it. I was saying that because of the transcript I actually could tell what it was saying bc without it it was too garbled

jem

hahahhahaha what the fuck

MuddyHippy

Because Mr Blobby needed to be MORE FUCKING HORRIFYING?!?! Ahem. Bravo once again Magnus Gang, this is devastatingly awful, keep up the outstanding work! 😁

Ian Mak

Oh I absolutely thought it was buried until you said berried.

Emily Pople

YEP i just saw that and was like oh god what does it mean

ChasiaLily

There appears to be a lot of spelling errors in this transcription?

Anti

NAH MY EXACT REACTION

trans*vamp

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES MUSIC. COMING FROM THE TRAPDOOR!!!!

Gremlyn

"His teeth are not soft" 😱 The context was slightly less gruesome than I imagined, but still horrifying enough 😆

Katie Hopkins

My own personal theory is that the errors are related to the meta of the show itself. Like a post-release ARG extension. I think every episode has had at least a few mistakes in transcript or title on release. I haven’t categorized it all yet though.

Katie Hopkins

I think we’re supposed to be reading the transcripts as part of this show. There’s too many pieces that otherwise could not possibly be understood by a listener. (Time of day, location, etc)

Katie Hopkins

Raspberry trophy = ‘berried’ But I definitely caught it as ‘buried’ too

Cas D

Yeah maybe, tho my understanding is transcript is just supposed to be subtitles to a primarily audio based story format. That said, after some further thinking the garbling of speech does add to the monstrous vibe of him like he's not human so why should he sound it?

Lucretius Williams

I think it says a lot about how well put together this show is that I only stopped to think ‘wait, what was recording this’ when they began to move away from the tape recorder. Also: woodworm, huh? Probably best they didn’t sit down after all.

Ransack0894

This is one of my favorite Protocol episodes so far. Mr Bonzo is /such/ a silly monster, but the frantic music and excellent voice acting really sells him as disturbing and physically dangerous

Rad Lad Robin

Ohhh was that Jon's office i wonder

cypie

"What is that?" "Worm tracks. Or, ya know, symbols of ancient otherworldly power. One or the other." Could be both, just sayin... *glances at Jane Prentiss*

Rurrie

My dad was called Bonzo lmao

Ali King

Whoever it was, they just scared the crap out of my cat, who was previously chilling on the windowsill
