On ‘The Good Place’ they had a cube and one of the characters said ‘Oh! Like the Allspark on Transformers!’

Listening to a podcast from a few weeks ago and they were talking about all the changes that had been proposed for the 2019 Oscars and of those which had been kept and which had been scrapped.

The speaker talked about how the category 'Most Popular Movie' had been proposed and then quickly scrapped, saying "People didn't like it. Would it have meant that an Oscar went to, say, a Transformers movie".

So on the one hand he was saying Transformer movies were extremely popular, on the other hand inferred they were undeserving of an Oscar. Up to the individual whether they agree or disagree I guess.

Transformers references in both episodes of 'The Good Place' this week.

The first episode they were going to escape from the fake Bad Place to the real Good Place in a magical vehicle and one guy says 'I hope it's Optimus Prime. If it is I call left nipple! That's like calling shotgun when your in Optimus Prime'.


In the second episode the head of The Bad Place is talking to a subordinate and is spraying on deodorant. He throws it to his subordinate and says 'It's called Transformers, here try it. The smell replicates the feeling you get watching a Transformers movie'.

"How do you smell loud and confusing?"

There's been several more TF references in later episodes too but no spoilers from me for those watching on free-to-air.
