Episode 98 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Awesome! Bodacious! Podcastic! We watched the most underrated comic book movie of all time, 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Is April actually a terrible reporter? Why the hell are they throwing their bloodied, comatose brother head first into a half-filled bathtub? How does Splinter both teach his family mindfulness and love, and then WEAPONIZE this to crush their enemies?

BONUS! Andrew reveals possibly the most embarrassing secret of his childhood. Classic pod!

Episode 97 - Mighty Orbots (1984)

WHO IS/ARE MIGHTY ORBOTS!? Andrew has no idea, he's never heard of this. But one of our listeners requested it, so we're diving into this extremely frenetic, bizarre, but immaculately rendered 80s cartoon.

Does putting on a change of clothes actually transform you into their purpose? What are the grammatical logistics behind plural names used for singular beings? Is this cartoon just a secret backdoor Scientology tract?

PLUS! Is this even a superhero thing, and if so are we opening a door to basically every 80s cartoon ever? We'll find out today!

Episode 90 - Poochie (1984)

Superheroes are often reporters, or at least giving themselves a position to receive signals of distress. So why not an advice column? Enter Poochie!

No, not that Poochie. 80s Poochie!

Is there any technical difference between Poochie and Batman or Iron Man? Where does Poochie's C-3PO droid get its human suit? How many other superheroes have their own advice column anyway?

Someone out there was presented with a stuffed toy of a pink and white cartoon dog and thought "Doc Savage". And I want to hug this person. It's Poochie time!
