More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast

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. She's going places and is thankful for the Transformers fans.https://www.jessicadigiovanni.comhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-key-of-love/id1655387238https://youtu.be/kZG-2wwTE-k?si=ZdT1U9rR1PuiIwbRhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-callisto-protocol-helix-station/id1652789325If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

The Guys are back this week after a Triptofan heavy holiday of the American tradition of food and football. Apparently there's some tall tale about pilgrims and indigenous peoples that has something to do with surviving the winter. Anyways, the guys delve into the oft-maligned episode called The Core where Ed finally gets an episode full of Devestator...er Devastor. I hope he enjoys this roughly animated Leifeld-esque journey to the center of the nerd!As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

We are finishing up that first mini-series, which is UK #8, or US #4 pt 2. Boo is filling in for Ed this week as he's under the weather, but that allows us to venture back into that epic Machine Man comic! But first, what will happen when the Decepticons lead an all out assault to finish the Autobots? Is Spark Plug going to live? Will Mirage be able to be besties with Mirage??

Hey all! This week the guys are tearing into The God Gambit and the extensive legacy of Buzz Dixon. Yeah, the guy who wrote our childhood, THAT Buzz Dixon. Yeah, its an allegory of so many science fiction tales, and its been redone over and over, but for a 22-minute toy commercial, its enjoyable.

The Guys are back at it this week after some trials and tribulations involving being aging nerds. They prattle on about TV shows that they kept seeing the same episodes for and then they get into the episode "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court," an episode that plays more like an old Star Trek episode than a 22-minute toy commercial. It's just ridiculous, but fun. Also, I am proud to get this put up before Halloween, in the year of our Lord, 2023 Arnold Dominic.As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Boo and Evan delve into the UK Issue 7 of the Transformers Marvel run just to see how much PTSD Spark Plug has from the Korean War after the Autobots almost kill him for trying to escape. Wait...the Autobots? Yep, they're kind of awful and have no concept of how organic life works or what walls of fire affects organic life. I guess Jazz never watched The Thing. Oh yeah! There's also Robot Roundup, Matt & The Cat, and.....Machine Man.

Ed and Evan are tackling that blaster blues and what is that band that Spike, Carly, and Blaster are jamming out to? Dokken? Krokus? Is that Greg Ginn on the guitar? The guys delve into the classic episode, "Blaster Blues," which contains no blues ironically. Hey look, its Omega Supreme and Astrotrain kids. Missed their introduction?

Ed and Evan return this week to tackle the second part of Desertion of the Dinobots, but they ramble on about stuff old guys ramble on about. Apparently, Carly is extremely adept at fiddling with Transformers and really terrible at faking a limp. There's something really odd about a sad Grimlock and Cybertron has laserdiscs narrated by Ken Burns? Find out in this week's enticing episode of More Than Meets These Guys!

Ed and Evan talk a bit of nostalgia about the Satanic Panic and Ed reveals who the real master of the universe is. Then they delve into part 1 of Desertion of the Dinobots. Will the Autobots and Decepticons make it to see another day? Will the Dinobots return? Does Shockwave play with himself when he's alone on Cybertron?

Ed and Evan tackle the often ridiculed and genuinely loved oddball of "City of Steel." Who are they to deny the pure joy of Soundwave, Rumble, and Frenzy muggin Autobots in Giuliani's New York City? The joy that Frenzy feels driving a subway train is palpable, and the nuanced Optimus Prime arm holding a Shoota.As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Ed makes his triumphant return after battling his wisdom in his twilight years. Evan presents to Ed one of his guilty pleasure episodes from season 2 with "Auto Berserk." This whole episode if rife with mcguffins, Soundwave flexing his single dad lifestyle, toxic relationships, and Ironhide sounding like a guy trying to hit on a barstool at last call! What a ride!

Boo and Evan come back to tackle the web-slinging photographer with..a...mouth. Okay, that almost seems copyright infringey-land, so we'll just say it's a Marvel Team-up with a black suited wacky web slinging hero and a cantankerous old soul as they go on a rescue mission into the heart of Castle Ravenloft/Decepticon and they rescue Sparkie!

Hey all! Sorry about the week off, but it seems there was an outbreak of old man teeth issues among the guys, so Boo and Evan are back with the 5th issue of the UK Marvel run where we learn all kinds of things, such as William Irving "Spark Plug" Witwicky served in the Korean War, Oregon University had a Star-Bellied Sneetches machine, and Spider Man is playing with the symbiote suit!As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Are we still doing this? Decepticon Day seemed like a much cooler day than Autobot Day. I mean, there's a rad Megatron cosp[ay! Ed and Evan talk of adult beverages (a little behind the pod look) and the complete garbage that they feed to their dirty nerd souls! What will the Autobots do to stop Megatron? What can they do? They have their fates in the hands of Cosmos! Wait, who? Oh yeah, new character! And he's terrible!

Guess who's back? Back again, Ed is back, tell your friends! The guys reunite after a bit to talk about how this Megatron plan, one might call it a MASTER plan, is finally a really good one! Hey, of course the Decepticons are after the energy, its green energy.

Boo of the Axalonunderground.net joins Evan once again to explore the Marvel UK Transformers books! Yeah, it might SEEM like they jumped ahead to issue 3, but the Marvel US book was UK issues 1 and 2. So, only vaguely confusing. In this issue see what Buster and Spark Plug are up to in the middle of the night in the garage! What happened to Jessie and "O"?

Evan and Boo of the Axalon Underground take a deep dive into the first issue of the Marvel Transformers comic. Why not now, after the new Skybound treatment is incoming? They go into the genesis of the lore and see what art that original book had. Does Spike come out swinging? Wait, where's Spike? Oh no!

The guys return to watch Optimus and crew tackle the Master Controller inspired...wait Ed has never seen Tron...uh the Gus Fring looking AI computer Torq 3 and his cadre of machines that look like if Battle Bots was an Atari 2600 game and this was the cartridge art, but you play with what you saw on TV. Pardon the flow of thoughts, but that's what "Day of the Machines" actually comes across as. Will we see any more of Skyfire in the G1 show? Do the Dinobots come to Optimus Prime's beckon call? Why is Megatron holding an NES Advantage on an oil platform? All these questions and more are likely not really answered on this weeks episode!Juicero!

Ed is back again and the guys chat a bit about the flea market and antique malls of their youth up until the present day. What are those weird finds and what are the hard passes?

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.

Evan, in a trip to Target (not a sponsor, but DMs are open) discovers what can only be described as a bait and switch console in the world of Lego. Why do we think the Atari 2600 was great and why would someone drop 2 and a half Benjamins on a lego set when you can play those games on your phone? Well, if you think that was bleak, the guys get into the season 2 stinker "The Master Builder" and meet the two most (at this point) insufferable fops of the entire Autobot force. I mean, unless you count Optimus Prime trying out basketball. Yeah, so that happened.As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhCheck out the YouTube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you want to check out the Axalon underground, since our main researcher is the webmaster, I highly recommend it!https://axalonunderground.net/Here is the GoFundMe link for the Sunbow Archive if you'd like to help Simon out. https://gofund.me/46f81cd2If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/If you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Is this the best episode ever? Well, Ed may have to give you the business about speaking in such absolutes, but Evan thinks it probably is, because the guys are talking about Microbots this week!

The guys settle in and talk about weird rebranding of products they grew up with. Is that Robotech, Battletech, or is it Exo Squad? Beyond all of that, they delve into the surprisingly fun season 2 episode Attack of the Autobots! Why hasn't Megatron ever used his invisibility spray before?

Ed has the week off, so Evan recruits another old friend to go into the second trailer for the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

The guys talk about what makes a good soft reboot or hard reboot and what doesn't work. They also meander about and lose track of what they're talking about. I know, I know, they only do that on days that end with Y. Moving onto the episode, Evan does his best John Moschita and the guys delve into the weird and oddly paced "Atlantis, Arise!" At the end of the day, don't we all need more human anchovies in our lives?As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!Here is the GoFundMe link for the Sunbow Archive if you'd like to help Simon out. https://gofund.me/46f81cd2If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

The guys are back at it talking about the things they loved that jumped the shark, and maybe a little bit of redemption. Why? Because Ed is under the impression that the show has jumped the proverbial shark because this week's episode is "A Prime Problem," and its all about them clones. Oh Ed, you sweet summer child.

The guys take a break this week to help break up the beast that is Season 2 of Transformers to review the 1988 Masamune Shirow OVA of Appleseed! This one off was exactly the same as the VHS cover art and aged extremely well, or not. The guys talk about the roots of future dystopian cyberpunk anime and the prices of anime in the old days.

The guys talk about that soap opera that ruled the Saturday, post-cartoon mornings, professional wrestling! Who was your favorite WWF Rockin wrasslin’ superstar? They somehow pull it together to talk about this week’s gem, “Changing Gears.” How much power does the BetaMax tape have over an old curmudgeon like Gears and what is his secret ability?

This week the guys talk about those things that kids weren't supposed to like and it was never talked about on the monkey bars, grown up shows. Was JR Ewing a true villain? Can you hum the Hill Street Blues theme? Did you ship Sam and Diane or Sam and Rebecca? What about Coach?? They delve into the episode "Enter The Nightbird" and they try to answer the question, is this an insensitive Asian stereotyping? Who cares??

This week the guys are looking at tropes and what makes them work or not work when it comes to movies and TV. Ed goes down a small Dick Sargent rabbit hole and they bring it all around to the explosive episode "Traitor." Now, will this be the Zapp's Voodoo flavored chips of Ed's eye, or will they be plain jane Lay's? Will Evan shock Ed with his feelings on the episode? What will happen?

Whoever burrito roomba to you all! The guys get to thinking about IPs that they'd like to see get a resurgence with a modern take or maybe a retelling. Evan gets all misty-eyed about Exosquad again, because its Tuesday and the sun is out, or something like that. Then they get back into the Donald Glut masterpiece Dinobot Island Pt 2. They are treated to series 2 of the original toyline, I mean, a whole new cast addition. Starscream plays scientist again and Megatron gets unhinged. Oh!

The guys are back at it after a hectic week off and they're going better than ever! They dwell of the cartoons from their childhood that were, well...awful. All hail the free for all of the 80's cartoon rush! Then they delve into the masterpiece of Dinobot Island, part 1! Donald "I never met a dinosaur I didn't like" Glut. It's a romp of new characters and dino-mite action.As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

So the guys are talk about what makes a timeless sci-fi movie that special for a bit and dredge up some reasons that mood is important, but then all of that gets tossed out the window when they sit down to discuss the often overlooked episode, "The Immobilizer." Daniel's future main squeeze shows up as an older lady who has eyes for Bumblebee. It just goes downhill from there, trust them.As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you hear!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

The guys are back at it and jumping headlong into season 2 of Transformers with Autobot Spike! Its the tale of a mad scientist who defies the creator to bestow life upon a lifeless husk. Why? Because he can! Oh, well, its a lot like Frankenstein, but with lasers and robots. There's also a river of chocolate!

This week, the guys are joined with a special guest Jason Hurt from the movie podcast "Reel Phonies" to talk about the Michael Bay magnum opus "Transformers." The guys get into the intricacies of the meta plot of those things that we surround ourselves with, being the most important parts of our lives and how commercialism is what is driving our world towards the brink. Well, actually, its almost 90 minutes of three aging nerds trying to find redeeming qualities in this extremely successful movie which made Transformers a household name again. Possibly a good 15 minutes of them making each other laugh out loud. The guys hope you'll enjoy it and, after you listen to us, go on over to "Reel Phonies" and listen to them as well!Here is a link to their show on spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/5Oc4j2El49x2nNXr0kYsIk?si=10b4b8cf6ef342b5 or on Apple Podcasts- https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=1351593578If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

Its here! The grand finale of the first season! If you think Ed and Evan meander and run away with tangents, just wait until the guys add a couple more people to the mix! Folks, they talk of many a treasured memory of that point in time, and no matter how many times Evan tries to get them back on track, he is far from able to handle the wandering path of nostalgia. The guys are so pleased to have had you all for their premiere season, and they have such plans for the future.

It's here! The final episode of season 1! The guys wanna say thank you to everyone who has been listening and we hope you keep coming with us on this bizarre and fun ride. Last episode, the guys were talking about what things they loved but left behind at on point, but Ed wanted to end on a positive note, so they're going to talk about those properties that have redeemed themselves. The guys have a little disagreement on one of the properties, but then they have to dive headfirst into "A Plague of Insecticons," written by their buddy Dougie Booth! Does it live up to a good season ender? Does Ed have an interesting view of Pokemon?

This week the guys reminisce on the properties that didn't age as well as you'd expect. I mean, really...Marc Singer, buddy.... Ed has a smoking hot take that 20-somethings might have issue with, and were Transformers ever...not cool...to Evan? They then delve, with reckless abandon, into Fire on the Mountain, the second to last episode, as they aired, in season 1. Will the guys be renewed for season 2?? Will they be the next Firefly? Give us millions to make a movie so we can kill off the best characters! Wait, there are only two of the guys and this disjointed narrator. Nevermind. Season 2 please.

The guys are dealing with sequels this week, okay...well, the embarrassing idea that they may have seen a sequel before the original movie. They then tackle what was likely the possible series finale (which luckily didn't happen) "Heavy Metal War." is it all we deserved in a possible series finale? Why do I keep mentioning finales? Is the end? Heck no! You're not getting rid of me or the guys! If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you! [email protected] [email protected] @mtmtgpod on Twitter https://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/ https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvh

This week the guys discuss how much they know, or maybe do not know, about each other and their likes, primarily with music. Evan spoils a major plot point of a 37 year old movie to Ed, that heartless guy. They watch an episode that Evan has been waiting for since he accidentally watched it too early, "Fire in The Sky." Join these two guys as they ramble on and finally get to points after taking the long way round!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

This week the guys are taking a break to celebrate the holidays with their families, but that has given them a chance to drop in a side episode, commence Subdivisions! This first episode will be diving deep into the 1st OVA of Area 88. It just happens to be one of Ed's all time favorite properties, so of course he has hijacked the show from Evan! The guys talk about why they love the style that is that of which Leiji Matsumoto made so well known. They talk briefly about the creator of this anime, Kaoru Shintani and the horrors of war. Join them for a side interest and see if you'd like to check it out!If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from [email protected]@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhAlso, check out the new youtube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODIf you’d like to toss a buck or more per episode, we’d adore and say nice things about you.

This week Ed has an important announcement and the guys discuss holiday traditions. All hail the Christmas squid! The guys then talk about Countdown to Extinction, and not a Megadeth vinyl, thankfully. Is it the conclusion that The Ultimate Doom deserved? Was it better than The Ultimate Doom? Where did Frenzy come from? How good or bad is Megatron's aim? They ask all the important questions, and come to see that quicksand is still dangerous.

This week the guys talk a little about their collecting. Evan is pleasantly surprised that he's still married after his extremely supportive wife sees how many Transformers he's been hiding in storage. Ed has a guest sitting in; a Baron, no less. The guys then venture into "The War of the Dinobots" and start to question, " Is there any scientific vocation that Chip cannot do?" Join the guys as they venture through this...wonderful episode.

The guys take a few moments to talk about why they collect things and what those things mean. They tackle the amazing conclusion of The Ultimate Doom and enjoy the menacing presence of Shockwave. Evan reads a heartfelt email they received that causes the guys to think about friends lost and those going through points in their lives that make them consider how short life is.

The guys talk about the theme songs that fill them with joy and the one that is an incessant earworm, which many of you will likely be cursed with after the you all hear it. They are very thankful (get it?) for the fan support that is starting to show and that's not even starting on "The Ultimate Doom Pt 2: Search," which, of course, is the whole reason they're here, and hopefully the reason you are all here.
