Let's Movie 134 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
134 - Welcome, welcome! Join Dustin and Justin as they run through the new TMNT movie from Seth Rogan and Nickelodeon Films. You'll want to watch the film first or if you have zero interest in ever seeing it, we might just convince you to give it a shot because much like the other TMNT movies this one is all about family... no wait, ninjas... no, it's about living with a suffocating parent that's disconnected from reality. Just kidding, it's an hour and a half origin story for Splinter!
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Street Fighter #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I fucking hate hero versus hero titles. The one and only time that it was enjoyable was DC vs Marvel (flip it, I don’t care), and even then, it was a mess of shit. That’s what made it charming – seeing the rage of the fanbases and concessions that each company had to make to keep certain characters powerful and protected. Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same dumb storyline of one or both sides of heroes being mistaken as villains and fighting each other, meanwhile the actual villains are agreeable, cordial, and already working with each other. I’ve lost track of how many of these franchises versus franchises IDW has made, but they're just to sell covers. Go ahead, ask how many covers they have for this first issue.
Thirty-one.
They cutely put “Collect them all” at the back of the issue before showing you thirty-one covers. Kudos to all the artists who got paid for the covers – get that money – but to the poor soul who felt they needed all the covers and spent God knows how many hundreds of dollars to get all the store exclusives… I wish you wouldn’t have. That purchase behavior is irresponsible and damaging to the industry as they focus on sales of covers rather than telling a story worth reading.
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
By Dustin Cabeal
As a lifelong fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, most people expect me to be tired of the franchise or, worse yet, hate every new iteration of the franchise. And while I have been that person for other franchises, I have found it to be a waste of energy and passion. There is, in fact, only one iteration of the TMNT that I have not enjoyed or consumed, and that was the terrible Michael Bay live-action films. There was no greater joy for me than the sequel succeeding in ending the live-action reboot. The one lasting effect that the Bay live-action films have had is the infusion of hip-hop into the franchise, or rather, a more mainstream approach to hip-hop/rap, having moved away from songs about the Turtles or Ninjas… for the most part.
To get it out of the way, I just love the Ninja Turtles. I love seeing what they’ll do with them, how they’ll tweak them and change them, and for some reason, it doesn't corrupt my childhood memories of the animated series and pretending to be Donatello with my three friends making out the rest of the Turtles. It was an amazing feeling to watch this new version with my sons and see them enjoy what’s already their second Ninja Turtle franchise.

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83
By Damien Becton
The previous issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles excelled in the comedy department, featuring a hilarious fight between the Turtles and group of frogs. Although it was a good issue, one of the things that it lacked was a bit of action to replace some of the filler scenes. TMNT #83 is the exact opposite - heavy on the action and lacking some of the comedy beats that made the previous issue so worthwhile. With that being said, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83 is another solid entry into the TMNT universe.
Review: TMNT Urban Legends #1
By Sam King
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics have been going around since 1984. This is where the team got its start. TMNT: Urban Legends takes readers back to the days of Volume 3 when Image ran the show, and Eastman and Laird weren’t writing the comics. These were eventually considered “non-canon” and were never fully concluded. This is officially changing now, with a reprint, added color, and an eventual addition of three new issues to finish the series.
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #82
By Damien Becton
There is definitely a lot of work that goes into making a comic book - not even an entire run, just a single issue. Sometimes there is the concern of having “too many cooks in the kitchen” for effective storytelling to take place. As I read the opening pages of the book and saw the credits, I had initial concerns of “too many cooks in the kitchen” when I noticed long series of names TMNT had attached to it. Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman and Bob Curnow and Dave Wachter and Ronda Pattison was a mouthful. However, I’m glad to say that I was proven wrong with TMNT #82. Eastman and Waltz have been writing these characters for a long time, and it shows.

Unboxing: Loot Crate - July 2017
By Dustin Cabeal
Well, well, well, didn't expect to have another video to post today, but here we are, the third video and a podcast later. This month's Loot Crate theme is Animation and I'll admit that there was only one questionable item inside. Mostly because I doubt I'll ever use the item, but otherwise, this is exactly the type of random stuff I want to arrive on my door step.

“Dude, this week’s Let’s Anime is all deranged romance.”
“So Lindsay picked the shows?”
“Obviously. She’s back with Please Excuse My Younger Brothers, and the family tree is becoming a dating app.”
“Please excuse my WHAT?”
“Exactly. Then there’s Firefly Wedding, where she’s defending the murderous fiancé again.”
“Okay, but does he care about her?”
“He’s lurking in the rafters with a sword.”
“So he’s present.”
“That’s basically her argument. Meanwhile, Dustin watched What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin? These goblins live seven days, bang constantly, and pass down their abilities when they die.”
“Seven days? How do they get anything done?”
“The reincarnated office guy introduces management.”
“Bro got isekai’d and brought corporate restructuring?”
“And Dustin actually likes it. There’s politics, weird powers—”
“Does he talk about the economy?”
“Lindsay already asked. Then he covers Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! He’s got an overpowered ship, an elf, another girl—”
“Harem.”
“—and he’s waiting for the plot to start.”
“The plot started. You just listed it.”
“There’s also an argument about whether Lindsay will watch Paws and Palaces.”
“The cat one? Doesn’t she love cats?”
“Apparently the cats require the correct country of origin.”
“How long before they actually talk about anime?”
“First you have to hear why Dustin couldn’t hand out candy in his inflatable Jeff the Shark costume.”
“Fine. I’m listening.”
