75 episodes

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.

    Ghetto Blasters and Jamaican Sound Systems

    So Evan texted Ed a few days ago talking about how bad Auto Bop was, and boy was he wrong. This episode features a teaming up of our odd couple of the NYC nightlife, Raoul and Tracks. You can't go wrong with cardboard breakdancing, runaway trains and Audio battles! Oh, and Ed tells us how much he thinks Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" was superior in every way to Paul Verhooven's motion picture. Also, Showgirls.....

    Subdivisions Special: An Interview with Buzz Dixon

    Subdivisions Special: An Interview with Buzz Dixon

    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"

    Season 2 Ep 32: Ninjas and Fe-males

    Season 2 Ep 32: Ninjas and Fe-males

    The guys talk about all manner of weaponry and all of the best ninja movies (spoiler, Ed says there are none). Ed spills all about BUDK catalogs (not a sponsor), and there is talk of weird modern weaponry. Then they get into the required watch, "The Search for Alpha Trion" and Ed starts to discover that there is more....than meets the eye, or something. Who are the female Autobots? Why does Shockwave speak of them with such disdain? Is Inferno cheating on Red Alert? Find out right now!!

    Subdivisions Special: An Interview with Michael Charles Hill

    The guys are lucky enough to sit down with someone who helped mold the creativity of an entire generation, Executive Producer and writer Michael Charles Hill. He recounts stories with Gary Gygax, The Bozo Show, and Flint Dille through the years in his expansive experience.

    Subdivisions: Cold Slither

    Subdivisions: Cold Slither

    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?

    Season 2 Ep 31: This Ain't Kenny Rogers

    Ed and Evan get into the morally grey episode "The Gambler," and they can't see where Kenny Rogers is. Wasn't he the gambler and was he married to Dolly like we all thought??

Not another nostalgia trap

Did you watch the original Transformers cartoon? Did you have the toys? If so, then this is the show for you. If you didn’t, then you should still listen.
This is more than just a trip down memory lane. Ed and Evan bring new insights and information to what may seem like a known entity and also discuss topics that may not be directly related to the show. A great way to spend an hour each week. Check it out.
