    STRANGERS TO THE MULTIPLEX: Strangers And Visionaries. As 2016 is a distance memory of mixed reviews and social media outrage, The Strangers welcome back the fondly remembered 1987 and revisit lesser known Hasbro cartoon The Visionaries.

The Strangers also speculate a big screen outing for the Spectral Knights, offering their own brand of casting and story conjecture. Also this episode we serve a fresh slice of Trailer Snark as we take a first look at Transformers: Last Knight.
