Truman and Landen descend once more into the smoky, subterranean tunnels of The Phantom of the Opera (2004) to wrap up the dangling threads left behind by the Main episode—untangling the music, the melodrama, and the enduring mystery of how many candles the Phantom goes through in a week. And as always, they play The Trailer Game, trying to guess which operatic money shots the marketing department spotlighted before watching the trailer for the first time. Next week, the Machine sends them to a brand-new date with a brand-new clue—just waiting on your release date and cryptic hint to plug in.
