Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Hey You Guys

Episode 56 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at what was, at the time at least, the biggest independent movie ever made. From the director of Mike Bassett: England Manager (no, really, it's from the same guy), comes the definitive live action interpretation of one of the biggest IPs of the last 35 years. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a much better movie than you probably remember. Based on the original comics by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird rather than the hugely popular cartoon that followed, this is ultimately a much darker and far more grounded take on the characters than we are now used to - the Batman Begins of Turtle movies if you will.
