3d ago1:19:50

1:19:50

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 …

Ghetto Blasters and Jamaican Sound Systems 1:03:04

15h ago1:03:04

1:03:04

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 i…

55:22

The guys talk about all manner of weaponry and all of the best ninja movies (spoiler, Ed says there are none).

Subdivisions: Cold Slither 1:12:53

1M ago1:12:53

1:12:53

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. Is it bad enough or good enough to break Ed? Are the Average Joe's the band that you didn't know you wanted or needed to see? If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear f…

Season 2 Ep 31: This Ain't Kenny Rogers 49:06

1M ago49:06

49:06

Ed and Evan get into the morally grey episode "The Gambler," and they can't see where Kenny Rogers is. Wasn't he the gambler and was he married to Dolly like we all thought??

Season 2 Ep 30: Robots Zone 58:49

2M ago58:49

58:49

Ed and Evan start into some of the better Season 2 episodes with the jovial, if not odd, "Child's Play." Evan likes to refer to this as The Autobots in spaaaace adventure that pairs nicely with the next episode, "The Gambler," but that will have to wait a week. As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!…

Season 2 Ep 29: Omega Supreme Can Use Full Sentences? 1:08:40

2M ago1:08:40

1:08:40

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? W…

Season 2 Ep 28: Ed Turned Off Football For This? 1:04:53

3M ago1:04:53

1:04:53

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. Well, Miachael Bay just made a bad movie. All of those things might have made Revenge of The Fallen …

Season 2 Ep 27: The Half Dollar Lagoon 1:37:56

3M ago1:37:56

1:37:56

The guys tackle the very forward thinking "The Golden Lagoon" and the beatnik Autobot Beachcomber. There are some interesting character developments and just gonzo predicaments.

4M ago1:22:19

1:22:19

Ed and Evan are joined by the amazing Jayhoo this week for "The Autobot Run." Jayhoo thought this was "The Trans-Europe Express," which is a much better episode, but he got to suffer with the Guys, so its all downhill from there. Oh, and Chip can stand! Wrasslin and Johnny Quest, flying Autobots and stupid McGuffins! Its The Autobot Run! As always,…

1:19:30

Ed is recovering and so Evan taps Boo of the Axalonunderground.com to continue the Marvel UK run back from February 1985. Someone needs to teach Sammy in this story the two words, "Stranger danger!" Seriously, this kid is an evolutionary trap on two legs. If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you! Edhatestransformers@gmail.com…

Jazz is a stalkin 1:10:04

4M ago1:10:04

1:10:04

So after falling to some kid in the Karate regional finals, Ed caught the Vid, so Evan dug Boo up this week to venture forth into the UK standalone comics, with the first of the original stories "Man of Iron," in which we see just how far Jazz goes to see how Sammy is safe from harm. There's a Robot Roundup and obviously a Machine Man, for some rea…

5M ago47:49

47:49

Hey all! This week the guys are tearing into The God Gambit and the extensive legacy of Buzz Dixon. Yeah, the guy who wrote our childhood, THAT Buzz Dixon. Yeah, its an allegory of so many science fiction tales, and its been redone over and over, but for a 22-minute toy commercial, its enjoyable. Oh, and apparently they're mining "energy crystals" …

A Decepticon in the Time of Arnold Dominic 1:04:55

6M ago1:04:55

1:04:55

The Guys are back at it this week after some trials and tribulations involving being aging nerds. They prattle on about TV shows that they kept seeing the same episodes for and then they get into the episode "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court," an episode that plays more like an old Star Trek episode than a 22-minute toy commercial. It's j…

53:28

Boo and Evan delve into the UK Issue 7 of the Transformers Marvel run just to see how much PTSD Spark Plug has from the Korean War after the Autobots almost kill him for trying to escape.

7M ago57:16

57:16

Ed and Evan return this week to tackle the second part of Desertion of the Dinobots, but they ramble on about stuff old guys ramble on about. Apparently, Carly is extremely adept at fiddling with Transformers and really terrible at faking a limp. There's something really odd about a sad Grimlock and Cybertron has laserdiscs narrated by Ken Burns? F…

Texas summers, women’s winters 39:03

39:03

Office buildings in the South can be notoriously cold in the summer months – or at least that’s what a majority of women would say who jokingly refer to offices in the summer as “women’s winter.” This year as more companies return to the office amid record heatwaves and requests by ERCOT for Texans to reduce electricity usage, we ask why office bui…

City of Purple Steel 1:16:02

8M ago1:16:02

1:16:02

Ed and Evan tackle the often ridiculed and genuinely loved oddball of "City of Steel." Who are they to deny the pure joy of Soundwave, Rumble, and Frenzy muggin Autobots in Giuliani's New York City? The joy that Frenzy feels driving a subway train is palpable, and the nuanced Optimus Prime arm holding a Shoota. As always, thanks for being there for…
