Please Rate & Review us on iTunes MOVIE REVIEW! Back in 2014 we did a full review and side-by-side comparison of TMNT (2014) with TMNT (1990)... now we're taking on the modern sequel "TMNT: Out of the Shadows" (2016). We discuss the sequel in the original TMNT trilogy, "Secret of the Ooze" and compare it with this modern sequel. Does it hold up? What does Stephen think about how the Turtles were treated? What happened to April O'Neil? Did Bebop & Rocksteady fit the tone? Was Krang really necessary? Listen to find out what we think![themeone_quote color=""]Preorder my book: "Tradigital Animate CC: 12 Principles of Animation in Adobe Animate"[/themeone_quote]And you can now listen to us out on SoundCloud! You can even listen via YouTube (so many ways)![themeone_video youtube="https://youtu.be/31iIVVKqUxA"]
