On this episode Matt is joined by his "chromeboys" (tm) Ian Springer (screenwriter of FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS) and David Walton (FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING) to order an almost giant birthday cake and argue about proper birthday party protocol while also discussing 1994's JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #'s 86-88 "Cult of the Machine".

Matt intended to spring a devious trap on Ian and David by making them read this story, but they escaped unscathed and with their dignity intact. Whereas Matt's brain broke. Seriously. Just listen to the episode and you'll hear Matt as a broken man who is reduced to rambling semi-coherently.

Also, Ian talks about how one could weaponize Galactus, while David proves himself as fast on his feet when asked to explain the theology underpinning the Cult of the Machine.

Oh, and Dreamslayer is one sassy villain. That kind of rules!

Please listen and enjoy Ian and David while doing your best to tolerate Matt.

Support Ian by watching FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS (now streaming on Disney+ and available to purchase on DVD/Blu-ray).

On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Ian Anderson travel to a dead planet in the butt end of the galaxy in order to talk about 1993's TRANSFORMERS GENERATION 2 #1.

Ian recounts his earliest days on the information superhighway visiting Alt.Toys.Transformers, his love for both Galvatron, why BEAST WARS is still amazing, and how Transformers can be considered "gateway body horror".

While Matt tries to become a more professional podcaster and (mostly) refrains from talking about GOBOTS.

Also, it's a safe bet that Matt mentions Nightman again.

On the extra special BONUS episode, Matt brings his longtime best friend Eric Hutchins together with his newest friend Dash for their first ever conversation - which, in true Does This Come in Chromium fashion, was SUPPOSED to be about 1989's JAMES BOND: PERMISSION TO DIE #1 (written and illustrated by comics legend MIKE GRELL!)...

...but it ends up being about pretty much the entire James Bond franchise.

And that while Eric and Matt were seeing GOLDENEYE in the theater, Dash was literally an infant. This fact still echoes through Matt's brain. Haunting him relentlessly.

Also, pay close attention for one of the greatest moments in podcasting history that can only be described as SPECTACULAR STEVEN SEAGAL SYNCHRONICITY!
