From the opening production logos to the final credit, each episode delivers an analysis of a single minute of movie screen time. We'll cram as many relevant facts, trivia, and inside-information as possible in the discussion of each movie minute.

Join us as we discuss (1) our utter lack of Marvel Productions knowledge, (2) Vince DiCola and Rocky IV, (3) the size of Unicron, (4) lithonian shopping malls, (5) unfortunate cultural insensitivity, and (6) the attractiveness of robotic females.

Join the APDC team as they fumble through introductions, struggle to explain the show's core concept, and accidentally insult their core audience (Transformers fans are not mean!). This introduction to the podcast is but a tender morsel of the robotic revelry to come!
