COWABUNGA! RADICAL! BOSSA NOVA!? That's right, this week it’s turtle time and we’re buzzing to talk about the famous amphibians 1990 foray into live action cinema.

Synopsis: ‘Four teenage mutant ninja turtles emerge from the shadows to protect New York City from a gang of criminal ninjas.’

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about rodents (again), the cultural impact the turtles had in the late 80’s into the 90’s and about Mikey’s stolen bread and butter.

Thanks for Rob for originally requesting Turtles III, but as all three Turtles movies are rotten, we're taking the long way round and doing all of them (over the next few seasons). If you would like to tell us what you thought of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or contact us on Instagram which is @rankrottenpod. Stay fresh and thanks for listening!
