10: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
from 99 Cent Rental · host Bryan and Dave White
This week Bryan and Dave are joined by Aileen Clark of the Uy Que Horror podcast to take a trip back in time to 1990 when Turtlemania ruled the preteen scene. We explore the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles phenomenon through the lens of Steve Barron's bizarre adaptation that struck closer to the dark indie turtles comics of the mid-80's than the colorful pizza-obsessed party dudes of Saturday morning cartoons. Does the movie hold up to modern scrutiny? Well, not exactly, but it's a fascinating franchise, nonetheless.
