Back to the Eighties - CyberTrax: MTMTE Episode 1

Ok folks, here it is: the very first episode of my own personal challenge to DVD commentorize (not a real word) EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of G1 animated goodness, INCLUDING all of the Japanese original material!

Episode one is of core the first part of the 3-story miniseries that has come to be known "More Than Meets the Eye", and joining me for the next three weeks is a very familiar voice to Transformers DVD commentaries, Mr Chris McFeely himself!

So sit back, relax, and listen to the first of a very, very long series of commentaries, with a real Transformers expert, and that bloke off Back to the Eighties.

If YOU would like to be a part of this, then don't delay! Get in touch with me, today!

RCP - Episode 185: METH! METH EVERYWHERE!

This is actually something I've wanted to review for a while now, keep in mind it's not a review of all of season 3 just the Crystal Empire opening 2 parter.

We do as always go off topic and start discussing the later half of the season, so yeah folks, SPOILERS!

Thankfully I managed to get the gang from the 'Lost Code' back together for this one, only FezOfAlcon got replaced with Joey, LOL.

Stardub - Episode 60: Going In the Groin

Not a typo, not a misspelling, in this podcast one of our hosts reads an informative leaflet on how to inject drugs in your groin, courtesy of the other's real life job. Don't say we don't teach you anything here at Stardub Central.

IIIIT'S CHRISTMAS if you happen to be in a supermarket at this time of year and our intrepid team take a taste challenge once more, and it's the return of Freddo to the podcast, with some Freddo Bars with popping candy and the despair inducing Freddo Faces, possibly the bleakest confectionery you may ever partake of.

Licensed to Thrill – The Marvel Super Heroes Sweet Treat Surprise Bag, what amazing crap can the team expect, and will there be magnets?

In a vain attempt to raise the level of intellectual discourse we turn to a few issues of the Classics Illustrated series published by First Comics in the early 1990's. Naturally any conversation of comics somehow finds it's way to Shatter and Batman: Digital Justice and why they aren't available digitally. Then a nice wee rant about DC Comics. Hell, everyone else is doing it so lets' hop on the bandwagon.

Rounding off the podcast, finally Andy gets to inflict a Taste Challenge on Ralph as he introduces him to the world of CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS!!!

Stardub - Episode 59: Zarbi and Moan

Episode 59 sees a lot of procrastinating from the team before they can work up the energy and the fortitude to brave Doctor Who - The Web Planet, so before they do that they spend time talking of happier times and happier things.

What things?

Well, the short-lived Havoc from Marvel UK, which brought Deathlok, Robocop, Ghost Rider, Conan and the Star Slammers to kids on a weekly basis. Can you tell it was released in the early 1990's? From there we actually talk about Transfrormers, and in particular Transformers UK Issue 39, a personal favourite of Andy's.

The team also talk about fuck-nuggets at conventions and why we miss some of the older ones. We weep that nobody still asks Simon Furman about colouring errors on the Transformers cartoon and we lay down the challenge for Auto Asssembly 2014 and we DEMAND our listeners join with us in preparing questions to Flint Dille on...FIVE FACES OF DARKNESS!
