  The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

  Sep 23, 20261h 13m

  Daryl and Nick revisit The Transformers: The Movie , the 1986 animated classic that took Transformers far beyond the TV series—and left a generation traumatized. We discuss the movie’s ’80s animation , brutal character deaths, Optimus Prime, Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime, Orson Welles as Unicron , Weird Al, the soundtrack, and the movie’s role in refreshing the Transformers toy line. Forty years later, what does The Transformers: The Movie look like when you finally watch it all the way through as an adult?

  In Memoriam, aka, 2026 Can Go F**k Itself

  Sep 9, 20261h 58m

  This week on Casual Nerdity, we step away from our usual format to remember Hayden Panettiere, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. We celebrate their careers, the characters and performances that stayed with us, and the legacies they leave behind. We also take a moment to remember Kaylee Hottle and the impact she was already making through her work and representation. It’s a heartfelt—and occasionally irreverent—look at five people who made the world a little richer. 00:00 Introduction 05:36 Kaylee Hottle 11:09 Hayden Panettiere 35:11 Dolly Parton 59:20 Tim Curry 1:37:23 Peter Cullen Donate to: Dolly Parton's Imagination Library https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/ The Entertainment Community Fund https://give.entertainmentcommunity.org/site/Donation2?df_id=10299&10299.donation=form1&mfc_pref=T Sea Shepherd https://seashepherd.org/donate/ Peter Cullen Trust https://www.givenow.com.au/petercullentrust DeafLEAD https://deaflead.org/donate/ Support the show by buying a t-shirt! https://store.casualnerdity.com Socials Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/casualnerdity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casualnerdity Threads: https://www.threads.com/@casualnerdity Bluesky: https://bsky.app/casualnerdity.com Twitter/X: https://x.com/CasualNerdity YouTube: https://youtube.com/@casualnerdity
