About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Transformers: The Movie on a generation and evaluates its legacy 40 years later.

Our summer break from Disney films continues. In 1986, Transformers: The Movie traumatized a generation with the death of Optimus Prime. Now, 40 years later, we find out if this movie truly had The Touch or if it simply Dared to be Stupid.
