Description
This is the journey of two old friends revisiting the original Transformers show, episode by episode. Evan is a die-hard fan of the franchise from his wee years to present. Ed isn't really a fan, but likes a lot of adjacent properties, so he is watching as a fan of toys, sci-fi, and cartoons, but not Transformers. We guys (and occasionally maybe a gal) will be going through each episode and looking at it with adult eyes to see if it holds up or if it is an odd nostalgia trap.

Yes! Ed and Evan have finally tackled the infamous "Cold Slither," and boy does it pay off big time. This episode was amazingly fun and weird and felt oddly prescient. Is it bad enough or good enough to break Ed? Are the Average Joe's the band that you didn't know you wanted or needed to see?If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Ed fell during the final fight of the karate regional finals and so Evan has a side episode with the engaging Jessica DiGiovanni, who played Windblade on Transformers Cyberverse. Enjoy a half hour of this extremely charismatic actor being interviewed by an awkward starstruck lunk.

This week Ed has some personal things to attend to, so the magnificent bastard Zab joins Evan for a lesson on Gundam, and...let me just say, they're using the broad strokes approach and it's still a long episode.

Boo and Evan give a little love to another part of the Energon Universe that has been neglected on our humble podcast, G.I.JOE. It's a pretty brutal universe out there, but we have yet to see a Negan show up. Wait, is Cobra showing us the effectiveness of a new weapon? A weapon that is more....than meets the eye? CoCo is pretty cutthroat and Destro is reminding us that he's Scottish ya numpties!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Boo and Evan sit down for a conversation with fan favorite and Story Editor of half of our childhood, Buzz Dixon. The topics range from the beginnings of the rabid 80's toy and cartoon boom, to the Satanic Panic and how to write an episode of children's TV that is both high science fiction and is critical of modern issues. It's a blast and this is another peek. behind the curtain of how things began even into where they are now and even where they may go.Also, check out the book that Buzz has on Kindle Vella, "Cheeky"https://www.amazon.com/CHEEKY/dp/B0C5SGPDQN/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xHs288TL4P0oC5t_VfaaOdBMow6hIIOE3C_peE7hG5hW97gh0VNRML30vMuVaVqx.678idJ5KH5Ik-KC52dy9zbjZSynddEXsQ6gouz3oAAg&dib_tag=se&keywords=cheeky&qid=1713218277&s=falkor&sr=1-1www.buzzdixon.comIf you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

I had the distinct pleasure of sharing a half hour one afternoon with the amazing David Kaye. As a fan, this is something that I am grateful and honored to be able to have this opportunity. It's great when you get a chance to meet people you admire, but its so much better when you realize that they're fantastic people to boot. Thank you David Kaye, Samatha, and Michelle for this chance.

The action keeps us pumped with the second episode of Robotech: The Macross Saga. Jason is gonna do what Jason does and Rick is playing Rampage with a big robot. Who let this kid in an experimental fighter? Oh, Roy says its cool, so we're all good.
