Episode 159
This week Glenn, Phil and Sam discuss YOUR favourite Transformers teams and subgroups. Who will make the cut? Who doesn't even get a mention? At least one of the picks will astound even the guys!
We also ferret out all the news from our favourite franchises, including (for once) Ghostbusters news! Seriously, will that third movie ever get made?
Add to the mix a couple of listener questions, and well, that's a rich enough feast for any King of the Nerds.

When the Music Stops: TRON
Yes folks, all the way from 1982, comes TRON, a story about a computer programmer who gets digitised and sent into a another dimension, where he has to save everything from the bad guys, especially David Warner!
Interesting fact - Corey Burton took inspiration from Warner's character in TRON when he was creating the voice of G1 Shockwave in the cartoon. Well I found it interesting.
