In what is easily the longest episode of the Tirades thus far, your brave hosts tackle Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, a movie legendary for its overbearing stupidity. For more than three hours, James and Damien try to tackle every single nameless robot, racial stereotype, and giant gaping plot hole. This episode is brought to you by SNICK. [ 3:26:21 || 108.9 MB ]

It's pretty easy to figure out, but at one point during the episode, I got Velma and Daphne from Scooby Doo mixed up.

The think the point I was making works either way. Not a lot of people look like Daphne either.

I am happy to hear that Damien knew what Forbidden Planet is. When Mike had the shameless pledge drive I was thinking of paying for a review of the movie. I never had any money and due to the fact that I am going back to school, what money I do have will be tight.

You're not going to find a lot of cult movies from that era I haven't seen at this point.

If the situation ever comes up, I'd be willing to review it down the line.

Aweseome!

I gotta confess. I went and saw Enders Game. I was happy to find out that the only writing that Kurtzman and Orci did on the movie was sign a lot of checks. Although the movie wasn't a masterpiece, it didn't make me angry the way that Prometheus or the Transformers movies did.

Thanks for this. I hated this movie. A few months ago I went back and re-watched the 1986 Transformers animated movie to remind myself what a good Transformers movie looks like.

I can't believe this movie didn't get a lot more flack for the shockingly racist ghetto-bots. Michael Bay might as well have put on a minstrel show with actors in blackface eating watermelon and fried chicken. Just plain offensive.
