More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast

Evan Johns & Ed Strickland

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. Pod Art by C E

Subdivisions: Gundam

More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast ·

2023/05/30

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. Its hard to wrap up 45 years of a franchise in one episode, so these guys don't even try.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/@MoreThanMeetsTheseGuysPODHere

The Insufferable Duo

More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast ·

2023/05/23

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

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.

2023/05/16

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! What's better than shrink rays and drunk Decepticons? Nothing!

What else does Starscream carry in his cockpit? WHERE IS MY "DR. HARDING: ACTION SCIENTIST" SHOW??As always, thanks for being there for us and please reach out if you like what you

The Ballad of the Human Anchovy

More Than Meets These Guys: A Transformers Podcast ·

2023/04/25

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

Jumping the Clone

2023/04/18

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.

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.

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.

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.
