Saturday Morning Cereal

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we celebrate 40 years of The Transformers with The Transformers expert, Slick McFavorite and the Open Your Toys Podcast. Sing it with us now.. Transformers More than meets the eye Transformers Robots in disguise Autobots wage their battle To destroy the evil forces Of the Decepticons Wholly original, creative, and maybe the single greatest toy line of all time The Transformers hit the United States toy shelves in 1984 as an adapted Japanese toy line from Takara Tomy. But once Hasbro got involved, what was once a just a great toy, became a multimedia phenomenon with mythos, legend and heart that still reverberates throughout our pop-culture today. Join Grim Shea, Marke and special guest host Slick McFavorite as they, recontextualize The Transformers toys, cartoons, movies and reminisce on all that we not only grew up with, but that grew up with us… Roll out!
