Not a Star Trek spin-off, rather life - and workload - after RG1, as we disseminate the art of scaring up new work without looking desperate.We turn the spotlight on the period post-TRANSFORMERS: REGENERATION ONE, circa 2014-15, as TV storyboarding and Titan Comics - in the shape of Dragons: Riders of Berk - come to the rescue. There's an art to hitting up people for work without appearing needy, and we get into that a bit, as well as just our usual round-up of what else was on our respective plates. As ever, as some doors close, new ones open. Such is the nature of the biz!Want to see this as a video and with a load of extra natter from us?

EP31: G2 - Too
By popular demand (well, one listener) we U-turn and backtrack to GENERATION 2, and go in-deep on the second coming of TRANSFORMERS.It's 1993 (again) and Marvel unleash TRANSFORMERS: GENERATION 2 on an unsuspecting comics buying public. Something of a continuation of the original TRANSFORMERS series, and at the same time something new and very 90s in its stylings and attitudes, G2 lasted only 12 issues but its impact resonates to this day. Plus we talk about TRANSFORMERS DAY (and the debut of a new Titan-class Transformer) and even put The Thursday Murder Club (movie) our of its misery.Get your questions inIf you want to ask us anything about our careers in Comics Games Film and TV just visit the website or drop us an email to; [email protected] GIANT stuff at wildfur.net

EP30: OH... SUPERMAN
We continue our movie round-up from a few podcasts ago, and find that while we believe a man can fly, that was about it. Join us for another savaging of recent silver screen (and small screen) offerings, as we take a step back from the hype and expectations of The Man of Steel's new cinematic incarnation and apply our patented movie credulity curve to proceedings. Plus, we consider F1, Mission Impossible Final Reckoning, Thunderbolts, Peacemaker, Alien: Earth and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.WILDFUR.NET

EP29: LIVE FROM TFN!
We chat, on stage, in front of an actual live audience, about Kickstarters and the enduring legacy of Marvel's TRANSFORMERS comics. We're at TFNation, bringing you our 29th The Rest is Giant Robots from a never-before-seen vantage point (it seems we have legs, both literally and metaphorically... who knew?), i.e. live, on stage, in front of a hugely appreciative crowd at the UK's premier TRANSFORMERS event, dissecting the recent Skybound compendium editions and just why it became the most subscribed comics Kickstarter of all time! This one really does have to be SEEN to be believed!wildfur.net
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...
