Greetings, Cinematic Fanatics!

Allow us the secretive, subterranean, Ninjutsewer pleasure of stealthily shadowing you around the pitch black, foot clan-attacked, rat-infested, mozzarella cheese-digested streets where four baby turtles did not choose the ooze they were ultimately discovered in, and though that ooze was no doubt misused, this is where their charming story will begin, once collected by their wise, old surrogate-father-rodent in an old coffee can to now clashing, nunchucking, skateboarding over and foiling The Foot Clan, Splinter remains inexplicably wise and between Leo and Raph, one always draws up and executes a kick a** plan, their Judas turned partner in vanquishing the villainous slime perpetrating thieving crime prefers to be called Dan, and Casey fstars Jones will no doubt be at Raphael's future wedding, his best godd*** man, I am not aquainted with the realistic expectation of a turtle's lifespan, nor do I know if Shredder is better classified as a super villain, arch-nemesis or garden variety mad man, all I know for fstars certain is that he has no difficulty nor delays in opening a turtlefuc**** tin can. 

This is a flick that is almost completely defined by my fading, but resolute sense of nostalgia and every time I rewatch this dark, atmospheric, economical, creative, original, well-acted and supremely satisfying green ooze slick flick, I adore it all the same, perhaps still more than before and I pay that warm, nostalgic sensation forward as we present to your auditory senses this ridiculous as it persisting, at first glance immature but, over time, maturing, assuring and enduring special adolescent throwback edition of Slick Flick Pick, an entertaining, slick/flick-explaining series, a desirable diversion from the neon green ooze and anchovy pizza sewer main vein of Chemohawk Sessions.

You're our Cinematic Fanatic; we, your worthwhile cinephiles. For your 40th episode, we review, and concomitantly gift you, one of our most enjoyed cinematic experiences from the 90's, from our childhoods, formative years, teenage days, young adult hood and well into our

adult-adult final phase of our lives so long into the hereafter, I am not ashamed to admit to anyone--kind enough to think to ask, and curious enough to inquire--I consider this to be a fun, wholesome, worthwhile, surprisingly articulate, warmly-acted and filled to the brim with Karate Kid wisdom, I prefer Splinter to Mr. Fstars Miyagi, though down one ear, he knows all, maintains such a clarity of vision for miles ahead and beyond, for even he can see Casey Jones is the Aprilfuc*** man, in
his hockey mask and T, and seems to mean as much to Raph as hot cheesy pizza means to Red Headband Devil and me, though living in squalor, within the confines of the sewer, seems claustrophobic, perhaps even to Casey… homophobic, but to them it seems free, for they can skateboard and order slices that Leo dices, Splinter can watch TV while his four teenage turtles trammel and thwart the city-wide crime spree.

Enter, with me, you cinematic fanatics, into the realm of film's fantasy while we unwind the grind of reality… We offer you: Pick 40: Slick Flick Pick: Too Sharp, a Splinter, to Shred--The Rat has a Name, Four Teens Play a Shell Game and Save a Freckled, Foxy Dame (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 1990)

Today, we discuss--the chemistry between April and Casey Jones is more explosive than any science that went into the mysterious, secretive secretions of the glowing green ooze, that for some of us, picking a favorite teenage turtle is rather fstars effortless to choose, though Shredder proves the victor against four spry, well-trained turtles, in the subsequent mano a rata rooftop battle against a short, old, whiskered, robe-cloaked rat, he does lose.
