More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast

The guys settle in and talk about weird rebranding of products they grew up with. Is that Robotech, Battletech, or is it Exo Squad? Beyond all of that, they delve into the surprisingly fun season 2 episode Attack of the Autobots! Why hasn't Megatron ever used his invisibility spray before? What else does Starscream carry in his cockpit? WHERE IS MY "DR. HARDING: ACTION SCIENTIST" SHOW?? As always,...

Ed has the week off, so Evan recruits another old friend to go into the second trailer for the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. They talk about theories and possibilities as the trailer offers a lot of possibilities now. And, as per usual, they ramble about things ad nauseum! Ed, we hope to see you again soon! As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what...

The guys talk about what makes a good soft reboot or hard reboot and what doesn't work. They also meander about and lose track of what they're talking about. I know, I know, they only do that on days that end with Y. Moving onto the episode, Evan does his best John Moschita and the guys delve into the weird and oddly paced "Atlantis, Arise!" At the end of the day, don't we all need more human anch...

The guys are back at it talking about the things they loved that jumped the shark, and maybe a little bit of redemption. Why? Because Ed is under the impression that the show has jumped the proverbial shark because this week's episode is "A Prime Problem," and its all about them clones. Oh Ed, you sweet summer child. It gets worse. As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if y...

The guys take a break this week to help break up the beast that is Season 2 of Transformers to review the 1988 Masamune Shirow OVA of Appleseed! This one off was exactly the same as the VHS cover art and aged extremely well, or not. The guys talk about the roots of future dystopian cyberpunk anime and the prices of anime in the old days. The wax nostalgic about anime fan archetypes and early dub v...

The guys talk about that soap opera that ruled the Saturday, post-cartoon mornings, professional wrestling! Who was your favorite WWF Rockin wrasslin’ superstar? They somehow pull it together to talk about this week’s gem, “Changing Gears.” How much power does the BetaMax tape have over an old curmudgeon like Gears and what is his secret ability? What secrets does his personality chip hold? As alw...

This week the guys talk about those things that kids weren't supposed to like and it was never talked about on the monkey bars, grown up shows. Was JR Ewing a true villain? Can you hum the Hill Street Blues theme? Did you ship Sam and Diane or Sam and Rebecca? What about Coach?? They delve into the episode "Enter The Nightbird" and they try to answer the question, is this an insensitive Asian ster...

This week the guys are looking at tropes and what makes them work or not work when it comes to movies and TV. Ed goes down a small Dick Sargent rabbit hole and they bring it all around to the explosive episode "Traitor." Now, will this be the Zapp's Voodoo flavored chips of Ed's eye, or will they be plain jane Lay's? Will Evan shock Ed with his feelings on the episode? What will happen? Who knows?...

Whoever burrito roomba to you all! The guys get to thinking about IPs that they'd like to see get a resurgence with a modern take or maybe a retelling. Evan gets all misty-eyed about Exosquad again, because its Tuesday and the sun is out, or something like that. Then they get back into the Donald Glut masterpiece Dinobot Island Pt 2. They are treated to series 2 of the original toyline, I mean, a...

The guys are back at it after a hectic week off and they're going better than ever! They dwell of the cartoons from their childhood that were, well...awful. All hail the free for all of the 80's cartoon rush! Then they delve into the masterpiece of Dinobot Island, part 1! Donald "I never met a dinosaur I didn't like" Glut. It's a romp of new characters and dino-mite action. As always, thanks for b...

Its just me this week, Evan. Just giving you an explanation as to why we're not making a full episode this week. We'll be back at it next weekend! Promise! As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear! If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you! Edhatestransformers@gmail.com Morethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com @mtmtgpod on Twitter https:...

So the guys are talk about what makes a timeless sci-fi movie that special for a bit and dredge up some reasons that mood is important, but then all of that gets tossed out the window when they sit down to discuss the often overlooked episode, "The Immobilizer." Daniel's future main squeeze shows up as an older lady who has eyes for Bumblebee. It just goes downhill from there, trust them. As alway...

The guys are back at it and jumping headlong into season 2 of Transformers with Autobot Spike! Its the tale of a mad scientist who defies the creator to bestow life upon a lifeless husk. Why? Because he can! Oh, well, its a lot like Frankenstein, but with lasers and robots. There's also a river of chocolate! Bonus! As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you...

This week, the guys are joined with a special guest Jason Hurt from the movie podcast "Reel Phonies" to talk about the Michael Bay magnum opus "Transformers." The guys get into the intricacies of the meta plot of those things that we surround ourselves with, being the most important parts of our lives and how commercialism is what is driving our world towards the brink. Well, actually, its almost...

Its here! The grand finale of the first season! If you think Ed and Evan meander and run away with tangents, just wait until the guys add a couple more people to the mix! Folks, they talk of many a treasured memory of that point in time, and no matter how many times Evan tries to get them back on track, he is far from able to handle the wandering path of nostalgia. The guys are so pleased to have...

It's here! The final episode of season 1! The guys wanna say thank you to everyone who has been listening and we hope you keep coming with us on this bizarre and fun ride. Last episode, the guys were talking about what things they loved but left behind at on point, but Ed wanted to end on a positive note, so they're going to talk about those properties that have redeemed themselves. The guys have...

This week the guys reminisce on the properties that didn't age as well as you'd expect. I mean, really...Marc Singer, buddy.... Ed has a smoking hot take that 20-somethings might have issue with, and were Transformers ever...not cool...to Evan? They then delve, with reckless abandon, into Fire on the Mountain, the second to last episode, as they aired, in season 1. Will the guys be renewed for sea...

The guys are dealing with sequels this week, okay...well, the embarrassing idea that they may have seen a sequel before the original movie. They then tackle what was likely the possible series finale (which luckily didn't happen) "Heavy Metal War." is it all we deserved in a possible series finale? Why do I keep mentioning finales? Is the end? Heck no! You're not getting rid of me or the guys! If...

This week the guys discuss how much they know, or maybe do not know, about each other and their likes, primarily with music. Evan spoils a major plot point of a 37 year old movie to Ed, that heartless guy. They watch an episode that Evan has been waiting for since he accidentally watched it too early, "Fire in The Sky." Join these two guys as they ramble on and finally get to points after taking t...

This week the guys are taking a break to celebrate the holidays with their families, but that has given them a chance to drop in a side episode, commence Subdivisions! This first episode will be diving deep into the 1st OVA of Area 88. It just happens to be one of Ed's all time favorite properties, so of course he has hijacked the show from Evan! The guys talk about why they love the style that is...

This week Ed has an important announcement and the guys discuss holiday traditions. All hail the Christmas squid! The guys then talk about Countdown to Extinction, and not a Megadeth vinyl, thankfully. Is it the conclusion that The Ultimate Doom deserved? Was it better than The Ultimate Doom? Where did Frenzy come from? How good or bad is Megatron's aim? They ask all the important questions, and c...

This week the guys talk a little about their collecting. Evan is pleasantly surprised that he's still married after his extremely supportive wife sees how many Transformers he's been hiding in storage. Ed has a guest sitting in; a Baron, no less. The guys then venture into "The War of the Dinobots" and start to question, " Is there any scientific vocation that Chip cannot do?" Join the guys as the...

The guys take a few moments to talk about why they collect things and what those things mean. They tackle the amazing conclusion of The Ultimate Doom and enjoy the menacing presence of Shockwave. Evan reads a heartfelt email they received that causes the guys to think about friends lost and those going through points in their lives that make them consider how short life is. Please reach out to the...

Hey everyone! There will not be a full episode this week, but please accept my heartfelt message and thanks for now. Next week we'll conclude The Ultimate Doom. Pinky promise! If you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you. You don’t have to, as we’ll still gladly hang out with you guys and gals every week, but we appreciate any help! patreon.com/user?u=...

The guys talk about the theme songs that fill them with joy and the one that is an incessant earworm, which many of you will likely be cursed with after the you all hear it. They are very thankful (get it?) for the fan support that is starting to show and that's not even starting on "The Ultimate Doom Pt 2: Search," which, of course, is the whole reason they're here, and hopefully the reason you a...
