A guy at work watches Transformers cartoons during our lunch break. I would hear that transition music thinking at first that it was a ringtone. Nope. He's currently watching He-Man cartoons. Yes, he's a custodial engineer. I wonder if he's in the Zombie Squad.
As soon as Rodgers did the piano pose I knew he was talking about Charles Cornell. I love his content, very knowledgeable music theory nerd.
Hope you guys do another Kojak Zombie Squad, because I just got to one where Stallone guest stars and pulls a Sgt. Powell from Die Hard on a kid. Not spoilers, that’s the opening act. Amazing to see Stallone and Savalas acting with one another.
Dome has been around since...who knows when?
Hey guys I just saw 52 Pick-Up (1986) starring Roy Scheider and directed by John Frankenheimer. It’s ok tubi. Not bad!
Boyz - a friend of mine did the music for the new Equinox commercial and the video is all AI generated. Might need to rethink that one.
The Bayformers movies lost all of the charm of the original series. But I'd suggest looking at the designs and voice acting in the Bumblebee movie. They are close to the G1 series.
Hard to overstate the whiplash of years of risk free cartoon action followed by THE MOVIE and total mass murder killing floor, all your favorite character are dead now kiddos! Here’s Hotrod you’re welcome.
Gabrus is based. Beast Wars & Bayformers whip ass.
As a kid I mailed Marvel a pitch for a new Autobot named Class, a RR Silver Phantom that has a voice like Jim Backus. I included a drawing of the characters design, I think a top hat was involved somehow.
APPROVED
New Zombie Squad here. Hell yeah, starting with my #1 pedantic-little-kid obsession. Howling
The Boyz aren’t exaggerating how much Cullen is doing a John Wayne impression on these episodes. I am curious at what point he finds the Optimus voice.
United 93... Transform!
Well this might’ve been your best episode. I guess we’ll have to suggest more classic 80’s cartoons.
I'm really enjoying the live-action episodes too though. They got me watching stuff I never saw before like Raven and Werewolf. Hell, I'm doing a complete Kojak viewing now because of Zombie Squad
Damn this episode is a TREAT for the middle aged. I’d love to hear the Boyz take on the He-Man cartoon
Love the little "Ocean Man" aside.
Legendary episode. Needs to make its way to the free feed eventually. Really shows off the strengths of the pod.
i don't even need to check and i 100% know who was talking for 20 minutes about the theme tune (it's a great channel btw)
Same
I didn't have access to the cartoons in my country, but the fucked up british comics were readily available. Super traumatizing for a kid. Starscream got zapped with some ultimate power cube and basically turned into Lucifer. Weird sexual stuff too, where a couple of autobots visit a planet of giant amazon women and they almost have sex with them, but their flesh disguises stop working or something.
I was the target demographic when this came out and I remember watching it in ‘84. Gabrus’ comment about the “no risk” combat of this and GI Joe or A Team is really true and looking back it probably didn’t phase us as kids as it mirrored our own play. We played a lot of “army” and similar and at the end everyone got up and went home. Of course, it also trained you how to play with the toys, which was part of the point. For the record, we were a GI Joe household.
I remember seeing blood for the first time on Johnny Quest (the first reboot) and was like holy shit!
Hell yeah.
This episode feel like Make A Wish, but for listeners my age.
I'm always happy to hear Beast Wars brought up.. I think I was slightly too young for OG Transformers. Also I'd recommend the Beast Wars episode "Transmutate," in which the two factions fight over custody of a mentally irregular robot.
I had ZOIDS on when I woke up before school it ruled
