W❤️M - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

On this month’s W❤️M, it’s the long-awaited discussion about the fantastic comic book adaptation, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How incredibly gross is this movie? Aren’t the Henson puppets amazing? What is Shredder’s ultimate end game here? Do the turtles live next door to any C.H.U.D.s? And would the guys survive becoming mutant turtles themselves? PLUS: Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground meet the Turtles!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars Judith Hoag, Elias Koteas, James Saito, Toshishiro Obata, Michael Turney, Jay Patterson, Raymond Serra, Sam Rockwell, and Josh Pais, Brian Tochi, Robbie Rist and Corey Feldman as the voices of the Turtles; directed by Steve Barron.

The Reservoir Dogs joke at 1:16:45 made me laugh hard

Josh

Rachel O'Neill is my favorite character

Troy Thompson

Love this flick, my fav turtles movie

Brad Mull

Great movie. I caught this movie on cable about ten years ago, thinking it was going to be a little embarrassing but was more than pleasantly surprised that it was still a lot of fun to watch :)

Beatrix

Awesome Ep. !“Chrisatello” and the ending theme song made my day.

Your Ralph sounds like Ray Romano.

Mark D Myers

I am so glad it’s not just me that thinks this holds up and might be even better than what I thought it was as a kid.

Brandon Cranford

Hey, thanks!

We Hate Movies

Um, ackchually…Eastman & Laird confirmed that Daredevil & TMNT share an origin. It’s right there in the turtles’ 1st appearance -☝️🤓

Walker Schwartzman

Only thing I'm bummed about is that no one mentioned about if you pause it at the right time, you'll see a horrifying image of the actors face in one of the turtle's mouths.

Swan Benson

Getting horribly embarrassed that I had the Coming Out Of Their Shells Tour video and it all came flooding back. I almost had to turn off the pod

Wadzilla

And it's pretty fun, too! TMNT did the multiverse more than a decade before it was popular

ShaunTrek

same

Will See

4 baby turtles! Was my favorite line. And then the lil puppets saying “pizza”

Barrett Robe

Man i want WHM movies to do TMNT 2007 with Patrick Stewart as Max Winters. Mr. Data project a course.

Tristan

They are called paper hotdog carts, you buy a hotdog cart and pretend to sell them for "premium" street meat prices. You can wash the difference of the hotdogs and condiments while just eating them yourself or throwing them out. You can scale by getting a fleet of carts, some of them actual to sell the con. Bear in mind I do not condone taking these actions I just believe it is important to inform people.

Jared Linder

It was ok, Ernie saved it. You could TASTE the parental meddling, though.

Rhio2k

How about a sequel to the Korncast? The Coming-Out-of-Our-Shellscast

Felipe Sobreiro

That second turtles movie is pretty dope in all honesty, I saw it in theatres recently, it’s self aware, the choreography with Ernie Reyes is fun, it’s much closer to the tv show with don doing science shit, locations are way more exciting and the ending with Vanilla Ice is a blast

Maurice Jones

Im shocked and surprised no one brought up that Trent Reznor and Atticus Finch are scoring the new Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles.

James Vogel

"All fathers care for their sons" Someone tell me why a mutant rat puppet made me choke up.

Michael Daniels

Chris' comment of "Is that Bob Seger singing?" Just ☠️

Felipe Hallenbeck

Oh my God, the song that Eric played on the episode is used in the intro for the old TMNT: Turtles in Time arcade game!

Felipe Hallenbeck

What crawled up Tatsu's ass?

Mike Kling

The cartoon that Andrew was referring to is called Turtles Forever, a film that was the series finale of the 2003 animated TMNT series, if anyone is interested.

Felipe Hallenbeck

10/10 on the "Ohh Punker" Punky Brewster joke, Andrew.

Hard To Gwil

This was the first film I ever saw at the cinema.

Jake Welsh

The pizza in the original cartoon looked dope, bro!

Kemal Campara

Do I own a nunchaku? I don't have to answer that; I'm not on trial here.

Adam Lewis

So my ranking: Donatello--Steve Michelangelo--Eric Raphael--Chris Leonardo--Andrew

Jason

This is interesting. Did they think too many kids would try to replicate it and hurt themselves or their siblings? Because as an American child my brothers and I definitely tried the nunchuck stuff all the time.

Chris Rose

Awwww amazing 👏 living in Scotland back when this was released Michelangelo's nun-chuck scene was edited out 🙄 didn't see it until years later. I still love this movie and always sing "ninjutsu" instead of "tequila" whenever I hear that song. Thank you guys, love the show as always

Christopher Bruce

MOMMMM!!! Nah jk you just beat me to it.

MarkNM

Can't believe I'm leaving the fanboy comment but it is Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird (the creators of TMNT) who have said (as a joke) that the ooz is indeed the same chemical that blinded Daredevil. The sequence in issue #1 is the same sequence from Daredevil but instead of following Daredevil the narrative follows the canister falling into the sewer from the truck

Comrade Trash Panda

Been waiting a long time for this one. TMNT was my WLM request for LRM in 2021

Eren Keskin

Raphael gang rise up

Kennieth Miles

Looking forward to listening to this one. I owned it on VHS. I was sick with the flu last year and decided to stream it, having not watched it for decades. It was great!

Craig

bossanova! Damn, with On Screen live on hiatus, we won't be able to hear your thoughts on the new one for a while. Saw it last weekend and it was pretty good.

Frank Grimes

I don’t usually comment, but I needed this to get through my day.
