It is one of the most unusual franchises in history as it is derisive among purists, yet it is also a lucrative moneymaker. I am of course talking about Transformers. A 1984 cartoon that had a massive toy line, only to be replaced by a whole new toy line by 1986’s game changing theatrical film. And then came producer Steven Spielberg, who hand picked non fan of the cartoon Michael Bay to handle a live action version of that oh so lucrative toy line from many years ago. With five films, a cartoon movie, and a brand new prequel starring Bumblebee, we tackle a franchise that is derided and molded. But how will myself, Nate, and Matt respond to it?

Finally. After four films, two of which were supposed to be his last, Michael Bay hung up his transformian metal with his fifth entry, 2017's Transformers: The Last Knight. Feeling like he needed to go back to King Arthur after his long in the making project about the knight went to other hands, Bay, heading a writer's room put together by himself and Steven Spielberg which included people such as Zak Pen (X-Men) and Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), heard the suggestion of bringing King Arthur into the Transformers cinematic universe, and put together this once again big, loud, and expensive feature starring his friend Mark Wahlberg. But how will we feel about it?

After feeling like the habit of bringing historical value into a series about punching robots was stale around the second film, myself, Matt, and Nate tackle the fifth Bayformers film and wonder how big of a chance Bumblebee has to end this retrospective in a positive light, unlike our last one Harry Potter.

Three years following his proclamation that he was done with the Transformers franchise, director Michael Bay, armed with new leading man Mark Wahlberg, unleashed Transformers Age of Extinction. Hyped as 'the one with the dinobots', fans of the series once again jumped in glee at trailers for the film and when released, the film ended up crossing the $1 billion mark in worldwide box office.

Join myself, Matt, and Nate as we get into all that makes Bay's 2014 film tick, and whether we enjoy it or not.

We appreciate your patience, as in just two more podcasts, we will have a review of the brand new Bumblebee prequel, already in theaters.

Marc Chevalier teams up with Batch and Logan yet again for the last Small Screen Heroes (or is it Spidey Screen Heroes?) of 2018. The show starts with Marc and Logan aka the biggest Spidey fifes talking about that new hit movie, Into the Spider-Verse. Also, the trio mentions how the Raimi Spider-Man Suit made it into the PS4 game! Fuck yeah! Then Batch brings up DC talk with CW's Elseworlds, which both Marc and Logan watched just for kicks. Or because Batch forced them to. Which ever. Marvel talk resumes with that sexy new Avengers: Endgame trailer, then the boys talk Venom and how it's surprisingly not a god-awful piece of cinematic shit. Comics round-up to end the show before a spontaneous talk about video games.  We're all adults here.

Anyway, Happy Holidays, eat a Christmas candy cane dick and suck on my Spidey bells. Thwipp Thwipp, stocking stuffers!

What do you get when you cross two exhausted podcasters and one hyperactive podcaster with a show where the prior podcast dissected one of the most derided sequels ever made? You get this piece of Americana, as Nate, Matt, and myself look at Michael Bay's projected final (Ha!) Transformers movie Transformers Dark of the Moon. Does it actually live up to Bay's proclamation of putting his best foot forward? Or will all of us find it to be more of the same.?

Download below to find out, and be sure to check back as we are leading up to a review of the Bumblebee prequel.

Michael Bay blames it on the writer's strike as well as his tendency to interject 'goofy humor' into his films. Critics blame just about everything Bay does as being juvenile. Yet, despite the supposed dip in quality from the last film, and a mighty low Rotten Tomatoes score -Nate reveals what that is on the podcast- Transformers Revenge of the Fallen made almost $150 million more than its predecessor. Is it as bad as we remembered?

Join Nate, Matt, and myself as we delve into that very question, and evaluate how well or poorly the film has aged. All of us agreed we had a much better time with the previous film than we were expecting. What about this one?

Keep coming back, as this retrospective will end with a review of the brand new prequel Bumblebee.
