Five years ago, producer & host George Sirois released a five-part miniseries on this show, celebrating the 35th anniversary of TransFormers: The Movie. This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, George has re-launched the fifth and final part of the miniseries to celebrate the 40th anniversary and upcoming re-release of the film. "'Til All Are One" features Mark Maher and Evan Brooks, two designers so inspired by the 1986 film that they would grow up to work on some of the most intricate and detailed figures in the entire TransFormers toy line: Hasbro's Studio Series.

PRODUCER'S NOTE: In addition to a very spirited and fun conversation with Mark and Evan, there are some final thoughts about the film from music composer Vince DiCola, story consultant Flint Dille, and screenwriter Ron Friedman (RIP Ron).

It has been a true joy revisiting these conversations, and I hope you had as much listening to them as I did. We're going to take one week off, and then we'll be back the day after Labor Day with a very special Season 13 premiere of Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, which was recorded in front of a live audience for the very first time and features three different guests.

Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.
