Legends Podcast

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s self-published comic, the absurdly-titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hit shelves 40 years ago. Since then, it's been a Saturday morning cartoon (or three), two live-action movie franchises, a toy aisle staple, and a dubious rock-n-roll stage show. The latest animated iteration, from Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg, and Mitchells vs. The Machines director Jeff Rowe, updates the Heroes in a Halfshell for Gen Z, with actual teenagers voicing the turtles! The film also includes an all-star cast, with Ayo Edebiri, Ice Cube, Jackie Chan, and introducing Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko. The film was a hit, with a TV show and sequel film on the way. But does the film live up to the franchise’s high points, or is it a case of turt-little, turt-late? Hitting the sewers to find out as we talk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem!
