More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye – Episode 12: Lost Light Issues 1-12

New Name! New Issue 1! Same old lovable crew!

We discuss why Rodimus is purple now, whacky adventures in a parallel universe, IDW’s controversial history with gender in Transformers, the nature of grief, and a much-lauded mutiny.

The Superhero Pantheon- Giant Sized Summer Annual: Spider-Man: No Way Home

Jerome and Brian have decided to bring back here at the end of August to discuss a personal favorite, 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

They go through the usual categories and what this movie meant for the actors, the MCU, and society at-large given the box office in a COVID world. Find out whether they finally take advantage of their power and take some responsibility to put a live action Spider-Man movie into the Superhero Pantheon.

More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye – Episode 11: Bumblebee

For ten weeks we have suffered, but at long last it’s time for an Actually Good movie! We could tell you about our discussion of Travis Knight’s rap career, the much-lauded opening, the best human character in the series, our mildly heated 80s nostalgia debate and how much they get out of no-name villains…

But really, The Thing Is… He’s Just A Lil Guy.

More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye – Episode 9: Transformers: The Last Knight

It took 9 weeks, but Ben & Matt finally disagree about the quality of a movie. For Matt, The Last Knight is one of the worst things he has ever seen in his entire life and potentially permanently altered his brain chemistry. Ben contends that while it’s bad, it’s not only not the worst Transformers movie, but not even the second worst!

They discuss Cogman, ‘Hot Rod’ (it ain’t right what they done to our boy), sozzled Merlin, poor Gemma Chan, awkwardly smushing two ideas together (again!) and generally become delirious.

More (And Less!) Than Meets the Eye – Episode 7: Transformers: Age of Extinction

Time to dust off one of our favourite debates on this podcast network: Is it worse to be Boring or Bad?

Michael Bay submits his evidence to the latest hearing, Age of Extinction, which literally has another movie tacked onto the back of it. Hard to believe a movie could be Bad OR Boring when it features Dinobots, Bounty Hunters and Stanley Tucci, but here we are!

Pantheon Plus – Brendan Fraser In the 90s: The Mummy

It’s the last week of Brendan Fraser Month and what better way to close it out then with a borderline classic, The Mummy from 1999.

Both Jerome and Brian are very enthusiastic about the film, despite its goofy plot and 90’s CGI. What happens when you mix Indiana Jones with Universal Horror? You get this.

More (And Less!) Than Meets the Eye – Episode 6: MTMTE Issues 17-33

Be not afraid of the huge number of issues covered in this episode, as a big chunk of it belongs to Dark Cybertron, the mostly irrelevant crossover event we break down in under 10 minutes.

On either side of that we discuss Huge Secrets about Magnus & Skids, Pharma’s horrifying antics, a mockery of a trial, the Lost Light’s new crew members, and the curious case of a vanishing starship.
