It\\u2019s happened again. Words we never wanted to have to say after that first fateful release in 2007, but which we\\u2019ve had to say over and over since then: Michael Bay has made another Transformers movie. We\\u2019re up to five now, but it might as well be five hundred, right? Our culture will never be rid of them now; their gleaming CGI chrome grilles will haunt our era in the annals of film history. Future (current?) seasons of Mystery Science Theater 3000, kept on life support by avid proponents of a counterculture all but forgotten, will mock them mercilessly, effortlessly weaving Martin Lawrence lines from Bad Boys in with quips about how the last explosion was disappointingly smaller than the one before it.

Where were we? Oh yeah; Chad and Daniel paid money to see Transformers 5, and they\\u2019re here to talk about it. Then they\\u2019re going to do a top 3 about Michael Bay\\u2019s career...although, given the subject matter, \\u201ctop\\u201d might be a little generous. How about \\u201cleast likely to give you an eye rolling-induced headache\\u201d?
