Lindsay Ellis on Transformers and Feed

The guys won't stop talking about video games. After a lengthy Skyrim chat, there's some talk about Annihilation and nostalgia. Then it's off to YouTube, where Bobby's pick is a video essay by Lindsay Ellis about Megan Fox in the Transformers movies. The guys are shocked to learn that Megan Fox's character is very clearly named after Michael Bay, and are also shocked by what they have retained from the film a decade later. Watch the video here: Finally, Ian made Bobby read a book, but it's a pretty good book! M.T. Anderson's Feed is an incredibly prescient book about consumerism and corporations. Ian thinks that synthetic flesh farms are the stuff of nightmares, but Bobby's pretty okay with it. Pop culture discussed: Skyrim, A Wrinkle in Time, Annihilation, Game Night, Better Call Saul, Everything Sucks!, and Ready Player One
