Weekly Blend Audio Show #96

comments published: 2007-06-11 13:32:07 Author: Rafe Telsch

Transformers is only a few weeks away, but other franchises from the '80s are lining up in preparation for the success of transforming robots. Meanwhile we're still hot about Fox attempting to ignore the existing Die Hard movies and wonder if other franchises might start adopting the same idea. Other topics of discussion: Disney and Stan Lee, build your own wizarding Nazi kit, and Mike Tyson goes Bollywood.
