Summary
Is the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) movie the greatest comic book adaptation of the 1990s? Tonight on Dads From The Crypt, we are ordering a massive stack of pizzas and diving straight into the sewers of NYC to review the ultimate piece of 90s pop culture!To help us break down this absolute classic, we are joined by TMNT expert Brian VanHooker from the Turtle Tracks Podcast. We’re talking about the incredible Jim Henson Creature Shop animatronics, the surprisingly dark gritty tone pulled straight from the original Mirage Studios comics, and why the dynamic between Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo still holds up over 35 years later.From the legendary rooftop battle with Shredder and the Foot Clan to Judith Hoag's definitive April O'Neil, we’re looking at why this live-action masterpiece captured lightning in a bottle.
