1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (based on the independent comic book series) was the most successful independent film of all time when it was released. A bonkers hodge-podge of pizza, ninjutsu, toxic waste, and skateboarding men in giant rubber turtle suits. Kevin and Mike discuss the history of the franchise and dive into their first live-action big-screen adventure. Discussed: pizza snobs, Robbie Rist, the obscure college radio show "Moshing with a Meatball", Gang Green, and the stuntwork of skateboarder Reggie Barnes. Also: Stay after the closing music to hear Mike's thoughts on a recent viral video of Werner Herzog's reactions to skateboarding. Turtle power!
