News of the Transformer5 director sparks Charles’s interest as he declares his unfettered love for Michael Bay.  Travis sees that, and raises him one.  Professed TMNT Superfan, Charles, finally remembers that there’s an “r” in Krang but then decides that his mobile base is called the Thunderdrome; a collective wave of facepalms shakes the internet.

Paul discusses upcoming FX/Marvel TV properties Legion, and another unnamed project, and what it could mean for the futures of TV projects going forward.

Travis deems Funko Pop! to be spoiler peddlers.  He and the guys discuss whether or not they or the Lego preview actually spoiled anything or just confirmed what any comic fan could see coming.

#WheresRey hits the Twittersphere and Paul pulls out his trusty soapbox.  Where is the happy medium for social justice and nerd rage?  Has the Monopoly controversy gone a step too far and are the facts about Rey’s merchandising absence being lost or unfairly misrepresented?  One thing’s for sure; the #WheresBB8 movement isn’t likely to find much traction.
