Ep. 450: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Hello friends! It's the big 4-5-0! And we're celebrating by talking about one of those "how have we never covered this" movies that are still floating around out there. This week, we cover a marvel in puppetry in the form of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—the indie film that took the world by storm. On this week's show, we explore the absentee father and the dissolve of the nuclear family, the history of indie filmmaking, the heart and earnestness that went into making this IP film, and much, much more. Tune in now as we face off with the Turtle Power.
