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

2024-06-30 07:01:45 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-06-27 10:47:04 +0000 UTCSoooo 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.

2024-06-24 15:18:37 +0000 UTCIt'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.

2024-06-24 13:12:49 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-06-23 19:45:06 +0000 UTCI 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!

2024-06-22 15:55:09 +0000 UTCI've never heard of a movie where so many elements independently remind so many people of poop.

2024-06-22 10:00:39 +0000 UTCThis 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
2024-06-22 05:48:16 +0000 UTCNo ding when Griff gets the box office game movie right!?! For shame!😀😀😀

2024-06-22 03:59:26 +0000 UTCThe 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.

2024-06-22 03:26:26 +0000 UTCLittle 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

2024-06-21 22:45:37 +0000 UTC24 minutes into this and it sucks shit through a straw. I’ve seen this before and somehow forgot.

2024-06-21 22:34:18 +0000 UTCSame. Using Pocket Casts.
Drew!
2024-06-21 22:16:34 +0000 UTCYeah, it’s still not there. I just downloaded here instead.
Anthony Regina
2024-06-21 21:37:35 +0000 UTCAs 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
2024-06-21 21:36:30 +0000 UTCWooooeeee look at that run time! We’re eating good this Friday night!

2024-06-21 21:33:21 +0000 UTCI would not step in that turtle van. It must be so foul in there.

2024-06-21 19:01:42 +0000 UTCIt 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!

2024-06-21 16:30:23 +0000 UTCHey I saw Wrath in theaters! In 3D! Somehow more dated than when I saw the og TMNT in theaters.

2024-06-21 15:43:28 +0000 UTCI'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.

2024-06-21 15:15:42 +0000 UTCI am excited for this episode, but boy was that movie a slog. OotS is so much better. A Gentleman's 6 perhaps?

Ruby Levine
2024-06-21 13:20:00 +0000 UTCThis movie is too much. The turtles "look" is out of control. "Worst design ever."
Tom
2024-06-21 07:01:14 +0000 UTCI’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)
