We perform this show in honor of Fernando González, a Transformers superfan and all-around wonderful person who was taken far too soon by COVID-19. In his memory, we will be donating proceeds from the show to his family.
Spoons Toons & Booze is going to the movies! In the style of our Saturday morning-inspired shows, we’ll be revisiting some classic animated feature films from the 80s and 90s, many of which aren’t streaming and probably never will be! Whether you saw these gems in the theater as a kid, happened upon them at your local Blockbuster - or didn’t even know they existed - we promise a whole lot of unintentionally hilarious animated fun.
Now Playing: The Transformers: the Movie! The year: 1986. The Plot: After the death of Optimus Prime during a devastating assault on Autobot City, the Autobots are pursued by Galvatron, the regenerated form of Megatron and servant of Unicron, a planet-devouring Transformer who sets out to consume Cybertron. Come for…a lot of brutal deaths for a children’s movie! Stay for: the hardcore synth/heavy metal soundtrack!
During the show:
Trivia and other contests! Prove your knowledge of all things animated and win tickets to upcoming virtual shows and Spoons Toons swag!
A play along Drinking Game! We’ll have a menu of moments to look out for in the film and invite you to take a sip or shot. Cheers!
Comedic commentary and more! Plus we’ll keep the chat open throughout the film so everyone can share their thoughts and joke about the movie together (this feature can also be turned off if you don’t want it).
