Oh man, I loved feeling the second-hand schadenfreude throughout this commentary! This thing is rough.

Clark Zeis

I’m just teasing. BEN CAN DO NO WRONG. 😄❤️

Dude from earth

Not Ben's fault. My fault

AJ McKeon

Damn! I’m so disappointed ☹️ womp womp. 😂 PS. I’m blaming you Ben.

Tipsy and desperately refreshing the feed waiting g for out of the shadows

Brock Landreth

If we're talking energy vampires, Madam Web also has Emma Roberts

I live in Honolulu in 1990, and that’s where I found the original comics at Jelly’s (my all time favorite comics shop; holla if anybody remembers it). I couldn’t believe that anybody other than marvel could make compelling comics. I loved them; that’s why I love the first movie because it adapts the original story very well.

David Draper

The line in the Friday the 13th remake is “your tits are stupendous.” Lmao. Unforgettable.

Misfit Minded

More entertaining to ~*~ E X P E R I E N C E ~*~ the movie

Matt

Soooo are you skipping Out of the Shadows and going straight to Mutant Mayhem? I hope not cuz I was fully prepared to sink a few hours into the Bayverse turdles.

Doug McArthur

For the next movie can David eat every time he talks into the microphone instead of only half the time?

This turtle shit testing my Patreon loyalty

It's too bad they aren't doing Turtles Forever, which does multiverse years before Spider-Man and is better than 5 of the movies this series is covering.

Dennis Rowland

I guess the audience for this is 10-12 year old boys who don't know any better? Because what the hell it's like too many cooks all making the bad choice for a 101 minute run time.

JS

I hadn’t seen it until a few years ago, and about 20 minutes in I thought “wow, this seems cut for PG-13 in an awkward way, I bet there’s a way better R-rated cut.” And I was right!

Foxtrot1

Never saw this movie. Never will see this movie. I just love listening to these guys talk. That’s it. That’s the comment.

Ben Zaretsky

I've never heard of a movie where so many elements independently remind so many people of poop.

Carl

Ninja Turdles.

Tom Lowery

This movie was disgusting. Every time I saw a turtle I wanted to puke. I had a burrito that I couldn’t eat while watching because I felt so nauseous

Jennifer Riggs

No ding when Griff gets the box office game movie right!?! For shame!😀😀😀

Scott Carberry

RSS is working now! Thanks! Also wow what a terrible movie.

Begemott

The whole story of Griffin's audition is fascinating because it shows all the variables that can go into an audition that you might not even have an idea about. Like, if Michael Bay is directing this, and reacting the way Liebesman was reacting in the room, Griffin probably gets that part regardless of how well it matches the film's energy (of course, one of the things that makes him Michael Bay is that he always makes choices consistent with his films' energy, whatever you may think of it). But Bay is producing, not directing (and the guy who is directing may well have looked at a final cut of Battle: Los Angeles and said, "yeah, that's acceptable") meaning that everyone auditioning needs to be thinking less about how they are playing in the moment and more about how they are playing to a group of humorless suits watching this on a TV in a board room. Which seems like it could put an actor in an uncomfortable position where the director is trying to draw more out of you and you're trying to keep him happy while also trying to hold back enough not to tank your chances in the board room.

Little bit of a bummer after Shōgun to be reminded of Hiroyuki Sanada’s often suboptimal opportunities in Hollywood but of course he delivers in the spots he got

Rad Rodge

Man, I was rewatching the Wolverine recently, still a good flick

Rad Rodge

Same, not showing up

Begemott

And their poop dad

Anthony Regina

Adult Alien Ninja Turtles. Goddamn

Rad Rodge

This is a true sicko ep

Rad Rodge

24 minutes into this and it sucks shit through a straw. I’ve seen this before and somehow forgot.

Anthony Regina

Same. Using Pocket Casts.

Drew!

Yeah, it’s still not there. I just downloaded here instead.

Anthony Regina

As a huge Turtles fan I think it’s funny that both this series and Shaun Diston’s TMNT podcast focus on the movies. I understand why on BC, they cover movies, but the Turtles are always better, and frankly known for, being a TV series and comic book. That’s where they shine. There are arguably only two good Turtles feature motion pictures. And they’re separated by over 30 years. TMNT (1990) and TMNT Mutant Mayhem. They live and die on how good their animated series and/or comic runs are.

Anthony Regina

Wooooeeee look at that run time! We’re eating good this Friday night!

Anthony Regina

I would not step in that turtle van. It must be so foul in there.

Tom

It's torture but we signed up for this.

Tom

This movie was horrible 😂😂😂😂 3/10

Ancient alien

It has been so long since I revisited this movie. I can't believe I saw both of these things in theaters, tbh. This one, specifically is pretty putrid. I guess I was just 14 and so jazzed on TMNT that I was willing to give anything that had the brand on it a shot! I def am curious to hear what Ben thinks of the other shows if he ever gives them a shot. I dig them all, and think both Nick cartoons (2012 and Rise) are pretty great!

Tashmon Dimps

Hey I saw Wrath in theaters! In 3D! Somehow more dated than when I saw the og TMNT in theaters.

FiddlersGreenDay

I'm not seeing a play button on the Patreon app like on every other episode and it hasn't appeared on PocketCasts either. On the Patreon website it seems to work fine.

Mikko Viinikka

I was in Jersey in the shower when that earthquake happened. Definitely a weird moment

Anthony Pierre Coco

I am excited for this episode, but boy was that movie a slog. OotS is so much better. A Gentleman's 6 perhaps?

Devin

Yes. Still not showing up for me

Devin

Same

Owen McIlhattan

Also having this issue

Tomas Marinara

Is anyone else not seeing this episode in their podcast app? I use pocketcasts

Ruby Levine

This movie is too much. The turtles "look" is out of control. "Worst design ever."

Tom

I’ve been looking over Turtles characters and I think Ben’s best option for a voice in the next Mutant Mayhem is Hun who is Shredder’s #1 big bald goon (and sometimes Casey’s Dad)

Rob Fitzgerald

“Spaced” is hilarious 😂😂😂

Ancient alien

Context!!!

Thomas Rude

I've been waiting for this ep since the announcement of this series!

CJ Stevenson Jr

now this is the superfluous detail I pay for
