    This week, "Tell, don't show" reaches new heights as the movie is about a third over, which is a GREAT time for massive exposition dumps from noted rockabilly punk Mojo Nixon. Koopa washes in mud, we speculate on the history of Dinosaur Planet, Dennis Hopper's cloaca is discussed, and David surprises us with a really good Toad impression.

    This week, NAABA takes a look at a new kind of story: The big budget feature film of a currently running series! A rare and sometimes misguided thing often left to animation, this is a rare live action example, and also one of the best ever put to film.
