Summary
THE REST IS GIANT ROBOTS - A PODCAST THAT'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EAR.

Writer Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman go back to the beginning... Charting a 40-year stint in comics, TV animation, games and more, including - of course - a healthy discourse on the rise and fall and rise again of TRANSFORMERS, also now 40 years old.

In a series of roughly chronological, informal chats, Furman and Wildman relive the ups and downs and highs of lows of the creative life, spotlighting key moments in their respective, and joint, careers - many of which, naturally, involve giant, transforming robots.

Nothing is off-limits, as Furman and Wildman delve deep into their (unreliable) memories, presenting a humorous but warts and all story of life inside the comics biz that is still... TO BE CONTINUED.

    EP57: WE TALK TV
    Nov 7 2026
    The small screen demands our attention, as we assess the crop of televisual treats (or otherwise) we've rounded up for review.

    Did Lanterns light our darkest hour? Did Silo plumb new depths of insight? Was East of Eden moving in the right direction for us? Is Widow's Bay a destination worth checking out? Are Reacher/Neagley worth investigating? And is Severance a cut above the rest? Warning: you may or may not be any clearer on these questions after listening. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll also be able to listen to (and watch) us talk about the convention circuit, and some of our travel plans for 2027. AND, if you have a burning question (or questions) send 'em in! We'll do our best to answer them!

    Another intermittent delve into our virtual Wildfur mailbag yields some corking questions that really do deserve some answers.

    You, our loyal listeners, put us well and truly on the spot with some probing and testing questions (that at least one of us didn't read before we recorded). We answer back on the responsibilities of writer/artist/editor, whether Shiela Cranna is available for comment, and which TRANSFORMERS storylines left you (and us!) wanting more! And what comic book properties we'd love to see adapted for the big and small screen. It's a packed podcast. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen to (and watch) us talk upcoming projects, strewing tantalising tidbits like they're going out of fashion! AND, if you have a burning question (or questions) send 'em in! to wildfurproductions@gmail.comWe'll do our best to answer them!And if you want bonus content and to see this as a video a full 5 days before the podcast goes live, why not sign up as a member. Thank you.

    We delve (not far) back into our respective workloads again, only a handful of years in fact. But our memories still need a jog!

    It's circa 2023 (careers-wise), and there's a whole lot going on that needed digging up... games, TV, conventions, self-publishing, even the odd comic book! We talk about stuff that happened in that time period (and a few TRANSFORMERS games that didn't!), which includes a few notables such as Astrobots, Five Points, Surface & Gecko's Garage. PLUS, if you're a subscriber, you'll be able to listen (and watch) me air my views on Optimus Prime: Awakening, the all-new add-on to Transformers The (Animated) Movie!So come on in and sign up to see all our podcasts with extra content HERE :-)
