In the first episode of season two, we strike hard and fade away with the 1990 radical action classic TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.
After sharing the different impacts karate class had on our childhoods (5:24) and who our favorite Ninja Turtle was (8:50), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how well the look of the turtles themselves have held up over the years (13:10). We debate Casey Jones’ claustrophobic joke (23:44), we gush over the movie’s use of flashbacks (33:13), and examine some of the bold artistic choices made in a kid’s action movie (39:43). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with all the things that bothered us about Shredder (45:47) and that punk kid Danny (48:10). Pops dives into the issues with the movie’s pro-vigilantism (52:37) and Shane asks the question we’ve all pondered for years: “Are the turtles sexual beings?” (1:05:55)
