Bumblebee (2018) - The Smaller Iron Giant?
In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we revisit Bumblebee, the Transformers movie that brought a smaller, more character driven story to the screen. Set in the 1980s, the film follows Charlie and Bumblebee as they form a friendship that feels like a mashup of E.T. and The Iron Giant.
We discuss why the smaller scale works so well, how Hailee Steinfeld carries the emotional core of the story, and why Bumblebee himself is more expressive here than in the entire Michael Bay series combined.
Tune in as we discuss this robot-car coming-of-age story.
