This week we break down the episode "Rhino-Man". Rocksteady and Bebop become super heroes to impress another new billionaire in the Ninja Turtles universe. While all this is happening, suddenly the water is contaminated to turn people into zombies, for political gain? While the story was engaging, the animation was definitely not up to standard. We also give Anna a temporary goodbye as she starts her maternity leave.

This week we break down the episode "Rebel Without a Fin". We get introduced to the mutant Ray. The action figure calls him Ray Fillet, while the comics call him Man-Ray. But in the episode itself, just Ray, and his lazy attitude definitely got spread into the animation room as we see some lingering shots and an undialogue moment in the episode. Also, we see a new NECA opportunity with Fish April!

This week we break down the episode "Farewell Lotus Blossom" with special guest Kevin Eastman! The actual episode title doesn't contain a comma, so we won't have one either in this podcast title. We talk to Kevin to see how much he remembers the character Lotus and if she inspired Karai. We also talk to him about the women in the TMNT franchise. This episode is our second and final episode of Lotus where she gets fooled by Shredder again. We even talk about the return of records/vinyl, that the writers of this episode had no idea that media would make a comeback.

This week we break down the episode "Donatello Makes Time". Donnie makes a portable time device that can slow down time and break the rules of gravity! And our one-time villain of the episode not only steals the device - but he discovers where the turtles' lair is and does nothing with that valuable information. Jason and Anna also discuss Dragon Con as we will be hosting the TMNT panel at that convention this year. Hope to see you guys there!

This week we break down the episode "The Big Zipp Attack". We have another episode where we have a cute, small alien come to Earth and get dangerous when it starts eating things it shouldn't have. Anna and Jason talk about how this episode just added more rules to the Zipp while some of those rules get abandoned. Also, we think this is the proper origin for the character Donald J. Lofty! We also talk about reused plots in TMNT and Pogs.

This week we break down the episode "Funny, They Shrunk Michelangelo". So the big mystery about this episode is that in the title, Michelangelo's name is spelled correctly, but during this time frame, his name was spelled "Michealangelo". Jason and Anna have a great time talking about this episode, as Anna calls it if Miyazaki and Hanna-Barbera worked together. The bath scene alone makes you wonder how it got through standards and practices. We also talk about the Turtle Tips segments that used to air in between the episodes of the show.

This week we break down the episode "Were-Rats From Channel 6"! Another CBS episode where the turtles question where a character from a previous season is, then BOOM, that character is featured in the episode! The Rat King turns Vernon and Irma into rats, and everything we know about the mutagen is thrown out the window. This episode also features the most continuity than any other episode of the series so far. Jason, Anna, and Mike also talk about how they feel about The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie.
