Splinter & 10 other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Aug 19, 2023

Show notes

Jesse Blaze Snider is The Coolest Geek Alive. This week: Jesse reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and points backward to the growing pattern of studios using names & titles to sell the audience on what essentially amounts to original creations from the studios & filmmakers, which actually bare very little resemblance to their source material, which they're supposed to be adapting. Sometimes this works out in the case of Mutant Massacre, but often the end results leave A LOT to be desired from the geek culture audience.
