Pop Culture Failure Orange Sweaty and DumbHey guys! As you know, Jake decided that we were going to do what he kept calling Trucktember, where we'd watch all the Michael Bay Transformers movies. Well he regretted that decision basically immediately after watching just one of the franchise. Let this be a lesson to you. Always recognize when it's time to quit. So we discuss how no one is likable in this movie, every single person except for John Voigt is orange, sweaty, and dumb, Sam Witwicky is the fastest and most indestructible man alive, the Autobots SUCK at being stealthy for rob...
