DVD Review: ShoutFactory’s G.I. Joe The Movie

August 31, 2010 by Steve/Megatron  
Filed under Blogs, CobraCast, The Steve

First off I would like to thank Dana and ShoutFactory for their generous contribution of this DVD. Now secondly I would like to say as a kid despite not seeing any of the classic G.I. Joe series I had owned a highly used VHS of the classic 1987 animated film. This movie even to this day is one of my most highly regarded films of the ’80′s.

I first obtained the 2000 re-release of the film by Rhino in late 2009, glad to at least see it was on DVD. However since seeing the classic Transformers and G.I. Joe series re-released by ShoutFactory made me wish this would get a remastering as well.

In July of 2010 my prayers were answered in the form of the newly remastered version of G.I. Joe The Movie (1987). ShoutFactory’s version of the movie does feature much greater quality overall. The visuals, the audio, the menus and even the special features were something to be in awe of.

THE MENU:

The menu setup was in a much better format by far in comparison to the original DVD release. It makes use of some dynamic animations in similar fashion to their G.I. Joe Season Sets and the Transformers G1 Season Sets. The quality on that alone makes you gear up to watch the film. Another feature I like is the ability for the movie to be played in either full screen or wide screen. I personally am glad to see the wide screen as I have a wide screen tv and it looks much better not seeing the black outlines. See the image below for details on the classic menu and the new menu system.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

The Special Features are very similar in each edition of the film. However in the newer ShoutFactory version it also includes the ability to download the original movie script to your desktop computer. This key element I think adds more value in itself to the Special Features.

Now granted in the Special Features area, I do like Cobra Commander’s mug shot there, I do think ShoutFactory adds a nice touch as if accessing the Joes computer system.

AUDIO:

The audio was several steps up and a lot clearer than that of the older edition. I could hear more of the crisp background music, sound effects and vocals. I would much rather listen to this than I would the original. With that in mind I move on to the visuals.

VISUALS:

By the time I got to watching the film after first watching the original 2000 Rhino release, I noticed several differences in picture. Some of these were subtle and others were blatantly obvious. See the examples below:

Now look at B.E.T. (Broadcast Energy Transmitter) which granted is slightly higher in seconds on one of the scenes but regardless you get the idea. The colors on the one on the left (Rhino) are more cartoon-ish whereas the one on the right (Shout) have a more real tone to them. To further detail this I have some more side by sides with the actual same scenes.

Here we have an image of Serpentor from the first 10 minutes of the movie. Rhino has the colors more vibrant on the lighter colors. However their details to the darker images makes it so it is hard to see the details. ShoutFactory despite missing some of the brighter colors did manage to show more accurate skin tones. The colors on the darker objects such as the snakes on Serpentor’s shoulders are much brighter leaving me seeing actual detail in that area. Finally on to one final image comparison.

Here we have Roadblock with Cobra Commander only here he is holding Cobra’s battle mask. What I like about the image on the right are the accuracy to real life colors. Rhino did a good job but Roadblock looks reddish instead of the brown that is in Shout’s. Another thing is the mask. It has a red tint to it there as well whereas Shout again outdoes it with the chrome coloring. It makes in these instances a no brainer which copy I would rather have.

OVERVIEW:

All in all I like the version ShoutFactory has released and am glad to finally have a great quality of this movie. Although the menu could have used a little more imagery of the characters included, I still loved this re-release.  This is a film I will watch for years to come.

OVERALL SCORES:

  • MENU: 4.0 out of 5
  • AUDIO: 4.5 out of 5
  • VISUAL: 4.5 out of 5
  • SPECIAL FEATURES: 5 out of 5
  • OVERALL: 4.5 out of 5

Stan Bush- Dream the Dream- Album Review and Video Montage

August 27, 2010 by TFG1 Mike  
Filed under Blogs, TFG1Mike

Stan Bush

Dream the Dream

Album Review

You know him as the singer/songwriter of Optimus Prime’s theme from 1986′s Transformers: The Movie when Stan Bush sang The Touch. He also sang Dare which I consider to be Hot Rod-Rodimus Prime’s theme. However Stan Bush has done a lot more than just those two epic songs. In 2007 he had album of the year with In This Life. That album featuring I’ll Never Fall, Southern Rain, and the transformers theme that was featured in Transformers War For Cybertron Til All Are One!

Now in 2010 Stan has given us a new album Dream the Dream. The official release date according to Stan’s twitter page is 9/15/10.

http://twitter.com/Stan_Bush

I contacted Stan and asked for a review copy and wow listening to this it is pretty awesome.  From the first play Stan rocks out with Never Hold Back there are very good riffs and hooks in this song. Then there are ballads like Don’t Give Up On Love, Two Hearts, In My Life, and Love is the Road. All of these ballads are very well done and they each tell a different story. When you get to the track If This Is All There Is it’s a song telling a story of a reason to live and that life is worth living. After that we get the title track Dream the Dream a song of seizing the day and taking charge of your life. More Than a Mircale has a slightly upbeat feeling to it. Not as slow as some of the love ballads, but still takes you in. It’s a song about finding your destiny and about finding the light within. Your Time is the next track and I gotta say this is one of my favorites after hearing it a few times. It is all about knowing who you are, reaching higher for something you are fighting for, and being strong. All That I Am is the next to last track  and again a love ballad, but a very good one. I like how Stan is basically telling stories in each song, and while most of them have the same enpowerment type of themes they are all different as well.

Now to the final track Stan told me it would be a bonus on Dream the Dream it’s Sam’s Theme (The Touch) a updated version for 2010. The last time this was updated was 2007. When this was first talked about Stan had said he wanted to update the 80′s song to something of today’s type of music. An example he used was Linkin Park. When I heard the song I thought it was great that Stan was taking a mellower way of singing it. However I heard the rap part and was like wait a dang minute that isn’t the Stan Bush I know. I completely understand what he attempted to do with it, however it just wasn’t my thing. I am not a huge fan of rap.

I was pleasantly surprised when Sam’s Theme (The Touch) on Dream the Dream featured no rap at all. I love this updated version and at the end there are a few rock riffs that kick your ass!

Huge thanks to Stan Bush for sending me an autographed copy of the new album Dream The Dream which comes out 9/15/10 Everyone should get this one!

http://www.stanbush.com

After writing this review I did something I’m very proud of. I received my autographed review copy of Stan Bush’s brand new album Dream the Dream and wanted to do something special to help him promote it. I created a video montage with his permission and included some of the new tracks from the upcoming album which will be out 9/15/10. This is my first really in depth video project I’ve taken on and it took 7 hours to get it as perfect as I could. There are a few things that are amiss, however I’m very proud of myself check it out!

DCAU Complete Series DVD Sets

The DC Animated Universe is by far one of my favorite series’ of cartoons. Starting with Batman The Animated Series. As a kid living with my dad and stepmother I was forbidden to watch BTAS on Fox. My stepmother said it was too violent. Just seeing Batman animated and Superman, then Batman Beyond and Justice League was simply awesome! I grew up watching the old rereuns of the Superfriends cartoons and Batman 1966 reruns. I this blog post I’ll be listing all the complete series DVD sets that Warner Home Video has released. I’ll also be making comments here and there about the cartoons.

BTAS- The Complete Animated Series 11/4/08

BTAS Theme

The New Batman Adventures Theme

Batman: The Animated Series is the groundbreaking animated series from Bruce Timm,  Eric Radomski, Paul Dini, and other great creators. In 1992 Batman exploded onto the cartoon scene. This started Timm and Company down the path of The DC Animated Universe Continuity.

I missed out on the Batman The Animated Series volume DVDs so when it was announced that this was coming out I was super excited. While this complete series DVD set is just the volume DVDs in one big box to me it is just awesome. The Collectible packaging includes a 40 page booklet with pre production art and the episode listings. There is also a 17th disc with a bonus feature never before seen. Overall I think that the complete series is the better selection as far as the DVD releases. Unfortunately it was a limited edition so if you didn’t get it when it came out sorry about your luck!

Justice League- The Complete Series 11/10/09

JL Theme

JLU Theme

The Justice League one of the best superhero teams ever comes to animation!

With the success of the BTAS set sales Warner Home Video announced that Justice League would get the Complete Series treatment. As I’ve said they just ported over the individual season discs and added a bonus disc. The collectible packaging for this one is awesome because it’s a tin! This set comes with a new foreword from Bruce Timm in the Volume One Set of this Box Set. If you missed out on the Season sets of this cartoon get this Complete Series set.

STAS- The Complete Animated Series: 11/24/09

STAS Theme

There is not a more powerful superhero than Superman! Having said that In 1996 Bruce Timm and Company created Superman: The Animated Series. S:TAS actually starts the continuity within the DCAU.

Two weeks after the Justice League Complete Series set was released the people at Warner Home Video released a complete series set for The Man Of Steel himself. Superman: The Animated Series got the Complete Series treatment much like the other two DCAU Complete Series sets. They brought over the DVDs from the Volume sets and included a Bonus Disc Featuring the All-New Documentary The Despot DARKSEID: A Villain Worthy of SUPERMAN! This set doesn’t have the collectible tin packaging like the Justice League set which is disappointing, however this is still a good set to have in your DCAU DVD collection.

Batman Beyond- The Complete Series 11/23/10

BBeyond Theme


65 Years in the Future there is BATMAN! Beyond!! Bruce Wayne has gotten too old to be Batman. A Young Man running from the Jokerz Gang finds himself on Bruce Wayne’s property and Bruce saves him. In return Terry McGinnis steals the Futuristic BatSuit. So we have a whole new BATMAN now.

Batman Beyond is getting the Complete Series treatment that BTAS got. With collectible packaging and more coming this November! I can’t wait for this even though I had the Season sets as I’ve stated before I like having the Complete Series sets more.

In closing I’m so very happy that all of the shows that actually matter in the DCAU have gotten the super upgrade with Complete Series sets on DVD.

Transformers Exodus Book Review

July 18, 2010 by TFG1 Mike  
Filed under Blogs, TFG1Mike

TRANSFORMERS: EXODUS

SPOILERRIFIC REVIEW:

PLEASE NOTE I JUMP AROUND QUITE A BIT IN THE REVIEW AS I WROTE IT AT 3AM!

Before I begin with the book review I have to get a few things out of the way. When the news first hit that Transformers War For Cybertron hit I was super excited. It was to be a Transformers video game that existed in its own continuity. One that had nothing to do with the craptastic movie video games. I was overjoyed at every news item I read or videos I saw about the game. I even put the bug in Stan Bush’s ear to get his music in the game. Then came the news of a actual prose Transformers Novel. This is yet another first for the Transformers brand.

I’ve not had a chance to experience Transformers: War For Cybertron on any platform yet. I hope to soon. When I heard there was going to be I guess you could call it a prequel or a companion book to the game entitled Transformers: Exodus I was equally enthralled and intrigued with the potential of a Transformers prose novel. At the onset we get history of Cybertronian civilization. Then we get Orion Pax data clerk and Megatronus the gladiator. First of all Megatronus is a shitty name I hated reading it over and over until finally the character decided to just be MEGATRON. The first nod to any continuity that I noticed was the first time Megatron said  I STILL FUNCTION!! When I say the first nod I mean besides the character names. The fact that Cybertron was made up of castes kinda bugs me. I know there is a “class” system here in the US and I’m sure other places in the world. However seeing that there was one of Cybertron I have no idea why it just bugs the hell out of me. The story goes that Orion Pax is intrigued by Megatron’s ideas and sparks ideas of his own of being free of caste life. The story shows of how they met and became friends. This reminds me so much of the origin of Lex Luthor and Superman being friends then enemies.

The characterization of both Soundwave and Shockwave is spot on. I think though they took a lot of Shockwave’s mad scientist personality from the comics. Which wasn’t a bad thing seeing as in the G1 cartoon he almost had no personality. I don’t like that they call Soundwave’s disciples minicons, but I can get over it seeing as all the major ones are present. Ravage, Laser Beak, Buzzsaw, Rumble, Frenzy, and Ratbat… who is a High Council member……? Yeah that was a WTF moment for me. There are a few glaring issues between the book and the game:

#1 The Book states the leaders name is Sentinel Prime, while the game calls him Zeta Prime. Apparently at Botcon 2010 Hasbro tried to make up for this by saying his full name is Sentinel Zeta Prime.

#2 The inside flap of Exodus claims that the book is the first time you will learn of the history between Optimus and Megatron pre Earth. We all know that isn’t true hello G1 cartoon episode “War Dawn”

While I can see why they are trying to redefine the history and make this the new cannon there are still some issues with it. Even though I’ve never read Wreckers I like how they included them in this especially that Ultra Magnus is their leader. Thank god I only saw Springer referenced once!! While another review I’ve read of this book stated that the chapter length after chapter 5 kind of hurt the book I have to disagree. I think that the more lengthy chapters give you a backstory from the eyes of Alpha Trion. The story as told by Alpha Trion I will say is very lengthy, but most of it is expositional. It’s recounts of the battles between the Autobots and Decepticons. The way the war starts is awesome though. Megatron feels betrayed by Orion Pax as the Council has named him the new Prime……….. Optimus Prime! The one thing that I really hated about this book is that they take the movie continuity of Bumblebee not being able to talk! However the fact that they make him a kick ass spybot is awesome. Another fact that I liked was that Energon came from Primus and Dark Energon came from Unicron. I thought that this was a very interesting plot point. Other references that I liked was that Soundwave and his minions were actively searching for The Matrix Of Leadership. Trypticon and Omega Supreme are definite advantages of either sides cause to win the war. Then there is the Plasma Energy Chamber reference awesome integration of the way it is used.

I bet all the fangirls reading this post are like why haven’t you talked about Starscream? Well there really is nothing much to say. He is basically his same old diabolical self. Plotting to take control of the Decepticons like every other continuity. We barely get any Thundercracker or Skywarp in the book. They are mentioned several times, but nothing is really done with them. I truly  enjoyed seeing the evolution of Trypticon turning his third mode in to The Nemesis. Omega Supreme is still the awesome powerhouse that he has always been. The references to Crystal City and the Constructicons are great as well. Although I hate the fact that they used the movieverse number that comprise Devastator. I can get behind the fact that there are other Constructicons, Combaticons, AerialBots, and the like other than the original team. However changing the original teams I just don’t like. Megatron and Optimus constantly called each other “brother” after the war has begun just is stupid in my opinion. However Megatron explains it away well he says that once someone is family they always are.

A final few notes I loved how the Core of Cybertron talked to Optimus Prime. It reminds me of the Oracle from Beast Machines. The Oracle also bestows upon him The Matrix Of Leadership. Regardless of my feelings about Sentinel Prime from Animated the one portrayed here is a kickassery type when he is trying to atone for his lack of leadership. Another thing about Alpha Trion is that he is an original member of the thirteen Primes. They also mention Vector Sigma and they make it out just like the G1 cartoon that Alpha Trion is a part of it.  The final thing I’ll bring up before I summarize my thoughts is the way they introduce Generation One. I loved that they called it “Project Generation One” and they build the Ark. As I said before with Trypticon’s third mode being the Nemesis you see where the two ships collide in space. Actually you see them going through The Space Bridge and ending up in a unfamiliar  spiral arm galaxy. They get a beacon of the ejected AllSpark and so begins the search as the War For Cybertron continues…………………..

Overall the book is a good read. For the majority of the middle there is barely any dialogue. I felt while reading it that I was reading fan fiction but in book form. If you are a Transformers fan, toy collector or otherwise invested in the Transformers brand you should buy this. However get it from Amazon as that is where it is the cheapest. I’m very happy that this is a part of my TF collection now and I would rate it a 7/10 overall.

A big thanks to Baltmatrix for getting me the book. You can view his YouTube Channel Here: http://www.youtube.com/user/baltmatrix

Podcasting and I

GeekCast Radio Network seeks listeners

Published: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 3:03 AM     Updated: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 7:57 AM
Steven C. Phillips Steven C. Phillips

In the early 2000s I spent much of my time listening to local radio stations, winning prizes and yearning for better programming. I listened to the radio mostly to win prizes and to hear the various DJs’ talk shows. As little talking as they did, I thought “Wouldn’t it be cool to be on one of those types of shows?”

When I first heard of podcasting, I had no idea that it would blow up into such an awesome phenomenon. I had entered it as an amateur voice actor who was doing fan dubbing and decided to give it a whirl.

Upon jumping into this I started searching for shows that struck my fancy. At first I looked into Transformers-related podcasts, sticking with a few. Shortly thereafter I had ventured into looking for geeky or tech-related shows. At the time I wasn’t doing massive amounts of podcasting but was an avid listener. I found I loved the multiple host dynamic featured in most of the podcasts online. I enjoyed the witty banter, humor, and the in-depth knowledge these varying people brought to their shows and their topics. Quickly I was pulled into this new age techknowledgy.

I started out doing narrative story-based shows similar to old style radio. All the while lending my voice talents to the shows. As time went on, I guest hosted on other podcasts. Within a year of doing all of these things, I had decided to launch my own show. With my older show fading into the great cloud of the interwebs, out of it came new opportunities.

The GeekCast Radio Network of Podcasts was launched last year with a friend of mine whom I met via Twitter from working on a podcast together. We have since launched close to 12 shows all ranging in various topics and structures. I’ve also, in the last year and a half, gained a ton of great new friends that I would have never known without going on this awesome adventure. My friend Mike and I have met famous musicians, voice actors, TV writers, fellow podcasters and the list is continuing to grow.

Even with the massive amounts of content that GeekCastRadio.com presents, I still find myself listening to my friends’ shows and networks. I’ve also discovered since listening to podcasts that radio is becoming less relevant with the podcasting growing exponentially. I love podcasting for the knowledge, fun and the networking with spectacular people of all walks of life. Thanks to my interest in voice acting and radio as a whole, I have grown into the podcasting phenomenon and doubt there will be ever be an end in sight.

For more information on me and my podcasting network, please visit: GeekCastRadio.com

And there you have it. Going to keep posting I believe.

The Future Of ToyCast

June 25, 2010 by TFG1 Mike  
Filed under Blogs, TFG1Mike

The Future Of ToyCast

While ToyCast is on hiatus between now and August I’m going to revamp the show a little. More like tweak it here and there. The main thing I’m looking to do is add more toy collectors to the rotating panel of guests. As well as change the opening and closing theme entirely. I’m not sure yet what other changes will be made. I’m thinking of redesigning the show format while it would still maintain the main focus of “friends talking toys” I’m wanting to streamline it a bit. Maybe make segments to the show…. See below:

Intro/General Chat/Catchup with co hosts

Toy News Segment

Display Case Segment- this would be where the hosts talk about their chosen toy for the episode

Discussion Topic- This could happen but not sure…. Mainly looking at topics relating to toy packaging and maybe where the ideas for the figures came from etc.

Outro- pimp out co hosts other endeavors etc

I’m currently looking for anyone who can make mashup toy ad themes from audio of classic toy commercials anyone putting the NEW ToyCast theme together will get pimped out on the show when we launch in august. Please email any mp3s you create to tfg1mike@gmail.com We will still get a backlog of episodes going when the relaunch happens. We might also have a Botcon Special in July but no promises.

Friday August 13th 2010 ToyCast Will Return!

Batman Beyond ROTJ – 10th Anniversary Petition

June 25, 2010 by Steve/Megatron  
Filed under The Steve

I am starting this to get a re-release of Batman Beyond Return of the Joker DVD and all products associated with it. Including and not limited to “NEW” molds for toys and special editions. New special features on the DVD, possibly the missing animation of Bruce Wayne entering old Arkham to see the Joker, new interviews with the voice actors and a revamp of the disc in high def.

As for toys, maybe a custom Joker from the past as well as his future self. We’ve had a ton of customizers including myself making the future Joker toy that Hasbro and Mattel missed the first time around. We need a custom Tim Drake as Joker Jr, the JokerZ gang and various other characters of the movie.

Here’s hoping Warner Bros and Mattel come through for us. If you agree please sign the petition for sending to them for next year’s 10th Anniversary of the DVD Release. Even though technically this year is the actual 10th Anniversary. At the very lease they could release these new or remolded figures under the Justice League Unlimited line. Least of all we need the JokerZ Gang and Ultimately the Future Joker in full detail.

If you know me on twitter (@SCP21) or facebook (SCP21) or anywhere else email me if you want to be added to the list. I will edit the blog post accordingly or you can cmment here on the page using either Facebok Connect or Typing in there and it will be added.

Voice Acting / Podcasting Experiences

June 11, 2010 by Steve/Megatron  
Filed under The Steve

First of all I would like to thank those of you that are here for visiting and reading this text. Now that I’m done with that, let’s get on to why you’re really here.

Have you ever found yourself wondering about getting into voice acting? I know I sure have. Now I actually first started out on a Transformers site called, TFCog.com. There I was introduced to a large portion of fans who not only did it for fun but for the ability to re-enact their favorite voices. I joined up in a fan dub of Transformers called Headmasters. There I began my continuing mission to grow as a voice talent. Even as a child I was interested in doing this and mimicked voices when playing with toys. As I got older it became a way to prevent stress and irritate my bosses at particular jobs, in any case I digress.

The first project of Headmasters led to my role of Scourge. In which I found I could after a year of practice replicate from the original 80′s cartoon in Season 4. Awesomeness followed as I soon joined up with another website called, TFwire.com. There I became the host of the War Stories podcast which was in the format of old style radio broadcasts. This is where I caught the podcasting bug. Although after hiatus’ and a cancelled show after 15 episodes, I ran into a wall.

A year passed as I again did some small parts in various voice roles and sites. I even with the help of my awesome friend TFG1 Mike started this place up exactly a year ago. My how the time flies. Even now we continue to grow the network, I continue to grow my voice roles and the list grows longer. As usual I talk a little too much. So I will leave you all with a full resume of my works on voice acting not the podcasting spectrum however. Following that I shall post a new blog post with all of my audio clips as specific characters, an image and the details of that particular show.
