CAUTION THIS POCAST CONTAINS SPOILERS! Back by unpopular demand to perform their civic duty and raise their voices above the din of hyperbole, brand worship and well meaning excessively forgiving boosterism... and give you an honest, even handed, fair assessment of the latest Transformers movie TRANSFORMERS ONE! So rip off those fandom blinkers, waft away the mists of nostalgia, put aside that brand loyalty and join Dave and Orion once more, back from extended hiatus to tell you what they REALLY think of the movie, as well as muse on why it's not quite setting the cash registers ringing.

[DISCUSSION] Virtual Dave, Orion Ghia and special guest host Virtual Amy all went to TFNation 2022 and they can't wait to tell you all about it in excruciating detail! TFNation is the UK's premier Transformers convention and it's been way for 2 years! Which explains our host's excitement over getting down to Birmingham and 'nerding out' with their 'people'. Hear about the panels, the dealers room, the guests, the getting lost in carparks and listen as Orion's misanthropy slowly melts.

A huge thank you to everyone we met over the weekend, especially those who recorded 'stings' for us, we don't have all you names but you are loved... deeply.

[DISCUSSION] Sooner than expected(?) it's part three in the AARGH! MY OPTICS! series of discussions on Toy Collecting. This one is on displaying our toys. What good is collecting toys if you can’t show them off? Many toy collectors put as much time, money and effort into displaying their toys as they do collecting them. Orion and Dave certainly do, and now they've put the best part of two hours into chatting about it. The least you could do is listen right?
