In today's episode, Stephan travels back in time to embody his 10-year-old self as he talks about the 2007 blockbuster Transformers. What started out as a toy line became a multimillion dollar franchise with Michael Bay at the helm, absolutely berating his cast and crew throughout the process. Moriah goes through what SHE would've named the robots, the boys talk about military propaganda, and who could forget the moment when Bumblebee just straight up PEES oil on a government official played by John Turturro ? Hear all about it and more now.
