Let's Talk About Stuff!

Join us today as we *FINALLY* get back to THE YEAR OF THE TURT: A year-long celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which has clearly already gotten away from us)! On this episode we discuss the first 3 episodes of the 1987 animated series that helped the TMNT rocket to new heights of the pop culture mainstream and cement them as a full-fledged phenomenon. We talk about how this first adaptation of the original Mirage TMNT comics makes significant changes to the canon of the Turts (that kind of work in its favor), April’s hair color, the new villains of this series, how their bandana colors were assigned*, & so much more! Also discussed: Doritos Baja Fiery Mango chips, half-Christmas, a surprising use of seasoning, Krang’s pickup lines, & more! *Special thanks to the TURTLES FOREVER PODCAST for the Kevin Eastman interview clip.
