John Pollock and Wai Ting discuss the 1986 animated classic, The Transformers: The Movie, a film remembered for the controversial on-screen death of Optimus Prime and its shocking impact on unsuspecting young audiences at the time.
Though uninitiated into the fandom, John & Wai are joined by Transformers superfan Sean La Vigne, who shares the emotional experience of witnessing that moment in theatres and explains how a franchise that began as a toy marketing effort would go on to provide a father figure for an entire generation.
