More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast

0 Favorites

This is the journey of two old friends revisiting the original Transformers show, episode by episode. Evan is a die-hard fan of the franchise from his wee years to present. Ed isn't really a fan, but likes a lot of adjacent properties, so he is watching as a fan of toys, sci-fi, and cartoons, but not Transformers. We guys (and occasionally maybe a gal) will be going through each episode and looking at it with adult eyes to see if it holds up or if it is an odd nostalgia trap.

4/30/2024
Oh man, Evan actually texted Ed to apologize for this stinker, and it is from Flint Dille and ,friend of the show, Buzz Dixon, who we love! Who is this knock off Kraven that looks like Miles Mayhem's long lost brother? What ever happened to Dinsmore? Did Blitzwing just make the show PG after getting covered in boogers?

Ghetto Blasters and Jamaican Sound Systems

4/23/2024
So Evan texted Ed a few days ago talking about how bad Auto Bop was, and boy was he wrong. This episode features a teaming up of our odd couple of the NYC nightlife, Raoul and Tracks. You can't go wrong with cardboard breakdancing, runaway trains and Audio battles! Oh, and Ed tells us how much he thinks Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" was superior in every way to Paul Verhooven's motion picture. Also, Showgirls.....

Subdivisions Special: An Interview with Buzz Dixon

4/16/2024
Boo and Evan sit down for a conversation with fan favorite and Story Editor of half of our childhood, Buzz Dixon. The topics range from the beginnings of the rabid 80's toy and cartoon boom, to the Satanic Panic and how to write an episode of children's TV that is both high science fiction and is critical of modern issues. It's a blast and this is another peek. behind the curtain of how things began even into where they are now and even where they may go. Also, check out the book that Buzz has on Kindle Vella, "Cheeky" https://www.amazon.com/CHEEKY/dp/B0C5SGPDQN/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xHs288TL4P0oC5t_VfaaOdBMow6hIIOE3C_peE7hG5hW97gh0VNRML30vMuVaVqx.678idJ5KH5Ik-KC52dy9zbjZSynddEXsQ6gouz3oAAg&dib_tag=se&keywords=cheeky&qid=1713218277&s=falkor&sr=1-1 www.buzzdixon.com If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!

Season 2 Ep 32: Ninjas and Fe-males

4/9/2024
The guys talk about all manner of weaponry and all of the best ninja movies (spoiler, Ed says there are none). Ed spills all about BUDK catalogs (not a sponsor), and there is talk of weird modern weaponry. Then they get into the required watch, "The Search for Alpha Trion" and Ed starts to discover that there is more....than meets the eye, or something. Who are the female Autobots? Why does Shockwave speak of them with such disdain? Is Inferno cheating on Red Alert? Find out right now!! If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!

Yes! Ed and Evan have finally tackled the infamous "Cold Slither," and boy does it pay off big time. This episode was amazingly fun and weird and felt oddly prescient.

Season 2 Ep 29: Omega Supreme Can Use Full Sentences?

2/13/2024
Pronunciation is fun and possibly fight starting, but the guys delve into that a bit and then the facts that their significant others ar embracing their vices. But wait ya'll, "The Secret of Omega Supreme" is on tap to give us a nice backstory to two...or seven of the most popular bots in the 40 years of Transformers. Will Omega use conjunctions?

What happens when you try to cram 4 or 5 plots into a 22-minute episode? Yeah, Quest For Survival did what it took Michael Bay 2 hours to do, turn one or two probably cool ideas into a messy hentai plant, Insecticon, and giant can of Raid mish mash.
