Man I'd forgotten how hard Bay has that loving camera glued to Megan Fox's rear end.

fake edit: wait, I just realized: Tape Guy didn't come back this week.

fake edit 2: God I hate these robot designs so much.

real edit: Jesus I had no idea this was supposed to be Frenzy until I looked it up on the wiki. He looks like a silverware drawer threw up.

The Transformers movies are a pretty good example of nerd misogyny, because it gave us five films worth of Michael Bay and four films worth of The Beef, and people decided Megan Fox was the REAL reason they weren't good.

As much as I like listening to an independent film dork rant about how braindead and creatively bankrupt Hollywood is unlike when he was 12 years old and everything was unique and cool I don't think practical effects would have made any of the Bayformers into better movies.

It's exactly as batshit crazy as you think it is.

I only saw the trailer but when it was over I was reeling because due to the number of comedians playing bit parts I still wasn't sure if it was 100% a real movie or just a fake trailer that Jimmy Kimmel had made as a prank or something. The fact that not only is it real but the kid loving dies halfway through the movie is just, like, what.

I'd imagine it'd make the robot designs less busy. And probably force them to not introduce a dozen new ones each movie.

I wish I could find the page of Tom Scioli's "G.I. Joe vs. Transformers" fake movie comic adaption where they talk about how they handled scale in the "movie" by having the actors playing Transformers standing close to the camera and the actors playing Joes standing far away.

I mean they did, but Megan Fox became a synecdoche for the problems with the movie, just like Kristen Stewart did for Twilight.

97% of all complaints that practical effects should have been used instead of computer effects are nostalgia based stupidity. If the movie makers couldn't be bothered to do good CG then there's little chance they'd be busting out sweet practical effects instead of poo poo practical effects. This issue is quality control, not special effects medium.

Introducing dozens of new characters every movie is the most source material accurate aspect of the whole dame series.

The third Transformers film sounds like the most nothing out of all of them. I just finished listening to the episode and I can't even remember what the actual plot was. I remember the jokes, but not the story of the film.

Anyway, looking over the last 20 WHM episodes I re-binged, I notice that when WHM do meh comedy films from the 80s and 90s, there's a good chance I'll like those episode. Those movies usually aren't terribly offensive, they don't deal with serious themes, and their failures at being funny are good fodder for the WHM guys. Teen Wolf Too was an excellent episode to revisit and is a new favourite but I also love the Loverboy and Camp Nowhere episodes.

The Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life episode is excellent because not only is it pretty much Reefer Madness for pornography and the WHM guys bring their A game. I can't recall any other episode where one of the hosts most definitely has been readying jokes over the years.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Transformers 3 is literally the only movie in my entire life I have ever fallen asleep in a theater while viewing. I didn't see Transformers 2 at all and got invited to 3 by a friend, I wasn't even tired but the movie's vast quantities of NOTHING just made my brain shut down.

I didn't think I missed anything by skipping Transformers 2, but the episode WHM did on it did at least make me search online to confirm that Sam's mother has a line saying that she heard her son lose his cherry to his girlfriend the previous summer. What the gently caress?

The only one I saw was the first, on a long bus ride, and the only thing I remember about it was the masturbation joke that just. keeps. going. All the comedy in these movies is terrible and never ends.

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers?!!
I sort of liked the first Transformers when I saw it in theaters, in the same way that I enjoy a lesser Fast & Furious movie. But that second one, good god was it just an incoherent mess. Michael Bay's sense of geography in his action scenes is nonexistent. There is never a good sense of where the characters are in relation to each other. Bumblebee shows up to save Sam spectacularly from off screen, then 30 seconds later Bumblebee is nowhere near Sam and is about to be executed. It's a collection of cgi blobs bashing against each other with nothing to tie them together. I saw Dark of the Moon for free at a screening when I had nothing better to do, and the last one I relegated to watching on an airplane. They're all terrible, but for me the second is probably still the worst.

I'll never understand that line. It's not even badass or witty, it's just disturbing.

EDIT: Just tried to find that scene on Youtube and ended up watching Optimus loving execute Megatron from the 3rd movie and it's even more disturbing than the guys described.

That's gotta be part of it. They've made huge leaps and bounds in their live recordings from the old days. The Howard The Duck episode was pristine. I'm thinking the club didn't have the audio setup they needed, and maybe didn't cop to it until it was too late to find a better venue.

If I had to guess about the face line at least I'd say they just missed it. All of the important dialogue takes place in these quiet exposition dumps or action lulls and then the sound mixing goes to poo poo once the action starts up and you'd better hope you don't need to catch something important. If you're not using captioning, all of the 'banter' during the fight scenes just melts into the music and sound effects and it doesn't help that the Transformers all have these growly voices or that Shia is just screaming all his lines.

Just like Bay's approach to visuals, it gets really fatiguing over 2-3 hours and eventually you just start letting it all wash over you without really processing the individual sounds/images.

Including the remake (and counting Freddy vs Jason), there are 12 Friday the 13th movies.

They have made episodes of 4 of them:

Friday the 13th Part V: ROY The Movie (Episode 80)
Friday the 13th Part VII: Carrie vs Jason (Episode 307)
Jason Goes to Hell: The shapeshifter one (Episode 174)
Freddy vs Jason (Episode 221)


They have performed another one live:

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes a Cruise Ship In Vancouver

but this one was not released as an episode


They did an On-Screen for the Franchise (Episode released on 10/30/15)



So, almost half...

It feels like more, to be honest. I doubt any of the other ones would be good enough to do an episode on, though.
