Description

We continue our journey of catching up on movies released in 2018 by driving down to 1987's California for a look at the Transformers spinoff film, "Bumblebee".

With Disney buying 20 Century Fox, a new rumour has emerged confirming that all Marvel films in development at Fox will be cancelled going forward. Is this a good idea of not?

After the major disappointment that was "Transformers: The Last Knight", it seemed as though all hope was lost for this Cybertronian franchise. However, with well defined characters, well shot action scenes, and some nostalgic storytelling, it seems the little Volkswagon Beetle that could has brought new life into this franchise.

To avoid SPOILERS for "Bumblebee", please skip over 33:18-48:26 of the episode.

Music and audio from "Bumblebee" is the property of Dario Marianelli, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Tom DeSanto, Don Murphy, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, Allspark Pictures, Tencent Pictures, di Bonaventura Pictures, and Bay Films.

The intro and outro music was created by Cackles and Jeremy Eckert. We thank them for their generous support of this podcast.
