TransMissions Extra! Episode 2 – Martian Exo-Horticulture

  By , ,

On this episode of TransMissions Extra!, IDW Transformers comics colourist John-Paul Bove joins us to talk about the upcoming science fiction movie The Martian, based on the book by Andy Weir. Yoshi and Charles loved the audiobook (it kept them company on the long drive to TFcon Toronto back in July) and are looking forward to the movie. Darryl’s on the fence, and JP notices some red flags in the trailer that gives him pause. What is TransMissions Extra!? We usually spend the first 30 minutes of our TransMissions Skype call talking about other random topics before we record the main show. TransMissions Extra! is a more organized discussion of these topics recorded into a short podcast of its own. We hope you enjoy TransMissions Extra!

TransMissions Extra! Episode 1 – Dipping a Toe Into Deadpool

  By , ,

Welcome to a new show featuring your favorite TransMissions hosts! We love talking Transformers, but we’re also into other stuff too. In fact, we usually spend the first 30 minutes of our TransMissions Skype call talking about other random topics before we record the main show. So we thought, why not record that as an experiment for another show? And thus, TransMissions Extra! was born! This will be a much shorter show than our regular podcast, as we’ll just pick a single topic to have a short discussion. On this inaugural episode, Darryl brings us the latest trailer for the new Deadpool movie, and we give you our thoughts. Let us know what you think about this show, and feel free to propose topics we can talk about in the future. We hope you enjoy this first episode of TransMissions Extra!
