Lost Light

Season 2 of Lost Light kicks off with a bang and sees us with our first non-Transformers episode. We are going to watch each and every film in the Fast & Furious franchise to join us as we gush over Vin Diesel but also question the efficacy of the crinimal empire that Dom is trying to create.

Of course we’ve got our AEW recap section as well, so use those chapter markers if you want to skip right to that section or skip over that section.

Lost Light, Vol. 4. The final volume of James Roberts epic Transformers run and we are here for it. We aren’t happy that this story has come to an end but it is better to have read and lost then never to have read at all. It is bittersweet. Thanks for coming along on this journey with us, but we aren’t going to stop while we are just getting on a roll.

What does the future hold? We are going to continue on these deep-dives, these long-run quests, these continuity crusades.

Also, this episode we talk about AEW All Out. I know that’s not in the episode title, so if you want to skip around I’ve included those chapter markers because I care about you.

This is Transformers: Lost Light, Vol. 4 from IDW. This volume collects Issues #19-25.

It’s been a while so we are a little rusty and there is a lot to cover in this book so we end up doing more summary than commentary but make no bones about it this is an extremely well crafted volume and serves as a great stepping stone to the grand finale. We understand that maybe you are just here for the Transformers talk so use those chapter markers to get to the stuff you want to hear.

This is Transformers: Lost Light, Vol. 3 from IDW. This volume collects Issues #13–18.

We get around to talking about this volume, but first we talk about wrestling. Like, a lot. Like, a sorry not sorry amount of wrestling. Talking almost exclusively AEW because that’s the only promotion that Jim really pays attention to. But maybe the world doesn’t need another wrestling podcast? Use the chapters to skip ahead to the Transformers Comics talk if that’s your thing. You may be shocked to learn that Caleb and Jim both very cautiously approached this volume but fell in love with James Roberts’s writing yet again.

Transformers: Lost Light, Vol. 1 from IDW. This volume collects Issues #1–6.

Neil returns to watch another Transformers movie with Jim and Caleb. Is this the most forgettable film of all time? Possibly. Jim refuses to accept that Skids is Skids. Caleb misquotes the movie twice. Neil constantly refers to Wikipedia to keep his facts straight.

Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox reprise their roles and continue to run. Megatron comes back to life. Optimus Prime dies. Optimus Prime comes back to life. Egypt?

They said it couldn’t be done. That two kids from from different sides of the east coast with little to no podcasting experience couldn’t possibly record a podcast covering all 10 volumes of Transformers More Than Meets The Eyes. Well we did and then some. Come listen to us discuss the grand conclusion to this title and hear Caleb tell us again for the millionth time that it was his favorite volume. This book wraps up a lot of the loose strings and takes advantage of building on lots of smaller concepts that have been introduced while leaving room open for Transformers: Lost Light.

This is Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye, Vol. 10 from IDW. This volume collects Issues #50–55.

SUPER EXCLUSIVE BACKUP AUDIO EDITION


Close your eyes and imagine for a moment that your normally reliable computer starts to read More Than Meets The Eye and gets caught up in the anti-functionalist movement and refuses to record the audio of a podcast as a political statement. Now open your eyes and your ears because that’s what happened and thankfully we have a backup recording that isn’t perfect quality audio, but it’s still pretty darn good.

We chat about the ninth volume of the comic series that changed everybody’s minds about robots that become cars this episode. Why does every volume keep getting better and why is Getaway such a terrible bot. Like really, he’s a jerk. You should block him on Instagram. Anyway, this is Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye, Vol. 9 from IDW. This volume collects Issues #45–49.

We chat about the eighth volume of the comic series that changed everybody’s minds about robots that become cars. Caleb wasn’t really sure about this one because he’s really on a fast track to get to Vol. 10 but Jim helps him slow down and smell the flowers along the way. Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye, Vol. 8 from IDW. This volume collects Issues #39–44.
