Just finished it, it was pretty entertaining. Not much was said that I didn't already know, but it was a nice treat nonetheless. Eastman is awesome as always.

Would love to see you guys get Peter Laird.

Good stuff. Loved the story about Steve Barron "storyboarding" essentially with scenes from Vol. 1.

I'd love to see the Barron Cut of TMNT.

Love that Kevin's favorite Casey is Elias Koteas. Love that guy.

The Peter Laird question was great Andrew...or maybe it was more Kevin's answer to it. :D

I was not the most well versed in interviews for Kevin, so being there and filling in a few of the more basic questions for new fans (and asking a few little gems I couldn't resist) was still a fun job for me.

I don't think (unless Andrew is a miracle worker) that Peter Laird will be our next interview, but I would really love to pick his brain, and see how things are on the other side of that Dynamic Duo.

Until the next interview, we should be doing an actual normal episode...though until we do it, who's to say what's normal? You'll have to wait and see what that entails.

This is great. I'm about 30 minutes in to it and I've learned a lot more than I ever knew. I'm a 34 year old that watched the OT and collected the toys but never bothered to dig into the history or background. So this is all new to me. Keep up the good work man. I look forward to future episodes.

It's really hard to pull back and make a small episode when you've got so many varied opinions on the various TMNT series. It was a blast doing this, and I hope you guys enjoyed it.

zkarlette
02-12-2013, 06:57 PM
I really enjoyed It.
Maybe you could make episodes with a particular TMNT subject so you don't end up with a huge cut one. It's just a suggestion of course, I really like what you guys are doing, can't wait to hear the rest of it.

That's the general plan. We just wanted to follow up the Eastman interview nicely with this, what I shall dub as "The Franchisening". Next time we record should be more reasonably sized.

So am I, one of the reasons why I brought it up (and am Co-Host on a PR/SS podcast as well). Felt appropriate, since In Space gave me my first taste into The Next Mutation.

Just about any one subset of TMNT could probably get its own cast if you were willing to plan it out right. But hey, a little bit of everything is good in my book.

"First Mirage Purchase" for me was one of the City at War books. I think the one where Karai has a katana to Leo's throat.

You may notice too there are parts where I'm trying to get a word in edge-wise during some heated discussions. I'm a firm believer in being polite, but there were certain moments I wanted to say "Hey, shut up a second! I got something important to get off my chest!"

Just to help clarify/confirm, the "proposed" sequel to the 2007 movie only got a concept poster made by the folks at Imagi. There was never a script for it.

Also the Joe Pesci guy you were talking about was probably Rich Magallanes. He's not a producer, but he's a higher-up at Nickelodeon and is apparently fairly involved with the show.

Like CyberCubed said, not too much groundbreaking, but good opinions with some entertainment and some jokes. I enjoyed the thought that the Nick show is the DC Teen Titans of series along with the portion on voice acting and that good acting can make you forget that its a celebrity and presume its that character. If Jephael's voice sounds like Scott Menville's, plastroncafe's voice reminds me a bit of Susan Blu's. Hope to see more episodes soon!

I really dug the first podcast. And I stared listening to the second podcast.
But, as far as the Mirage comics go, I've only read the first two and a half volumes of the 'Ultimate Collection.' A few minutes into the second podcast, I decided I should finish volume 3, and at least close out the return to New York arc before I finish the second podcast.

But it does seem like an awesome podcast.

I do, however, wonder how much seepage there is from the 80s cartoon and the movies, into the comics. I mean, did the comics really remain their own thing, after other renditions came into play? Did Eastman and Laird intentionally ignore those other versions?

Just finished the David Wise one, it was pretty good and informative. He didn't really say much that I didn't already know or at least assume (based on the production of the show), but there were some interesting tibits here.

I'm surprised the Technodrome wasn't based on the Death Star afterall. He said he never made the connection. That's a misconception in the fandom for some time.

Also as expected, David Wise didn't really pay attention to any other TMNT incarnation. He dropped the Mirage run around issue #7, only watched clips of the movies and not it the full way, and only saw a few episodes of the 4kids series and Nick show. That was expected though as most cartoon writers don't tend to check out other incarnations.

I did like that he said that if it was up to him the show would have been more of an action cartoon than a comedy series. His hands were obviously a bit tied from the higher-ups and what the other writers did.

Good podcast.

Okay. Who the **** is watching porn while they skyped with David Wise? Froggy?

Around 1:14 a clip in the background is obviously an adult video, and I heard what sounded like vibrations and moans here and there throughout the duration of this. Jesus duckling Christ.

You might want to add Ciro to the list. Almost all creators/producers/writers are touchy when it comes to their shows. It's only natural.

Interview: "Have you seen such and such of the TMNT?

Ciro/Laird/Wise: "Yeah, but I couldn't get past a couple of episodes, NOW my show on the other hand..."

Now to be fair on David, he did admit that some episodes were bad that makes him humble at least.

Im surprise you guys never asked him about the character Mona Lisa, The only female mutant to appear in one episode from the original series. I was curious on how that came about.

Considering she's a one-off character that he didn't create nor write the episode for, there's no point.

I have a pretty good assumption as to who that guy is, but I'm not going to mention his username unless he comes out himself. But I agree with you. Especially those grunting sounds he was making at the end while David Wise was mentioning some horror movie where a girl got her eyes ripped out, and you hear someone opening a cheese wrapper or something and choking with these horrible sounds on the video.

Started out great, but I couldn't get past Wise saying the 4kids show was the same exact thing as the OT and then acting all butthurt over "Booyakasha". Which he didn't even pronounce correctly.

And yes, I also have no idea why that 'cast member in question is always invited back.

Jephael
08-19-2013, 06:00 AM
Wow, I can't believe I'm coming out and admitting this. Yea, that was me eating Cheez Its. I wasn't feeling too good that night and I was very nervous to talk with Mr. Wise, so I thought a little snack during the podcast would calm me down. I thought for sure I had my microphone turned off, but I guess it wasn't working right. Besides that, I've been dealing with a lot of personal issues as of late, hence why I don't come around here anymore to deal with the likes of CyberCubed and the rest of you nutballs.

To be totally honest, I didn't even want to do the podcast, but Andrew insisted. For some crazy reason he still likes me despite our differences and all the dumb crap we put each other through. I dunno, maybe it's because we've helped each other a lot over the years. Whatever the reason, it's none of your damn concern! If you don't like the way I conduct myself, tough tomatoes!!!

It seems like every head TMNT writer of a specific universe gets jealous or "butt-hurt" over things from other universes. David Wise actually reminded me a lot of Peter Laird, in that regard.

Still some things he said did surprise me, like actually preferring Mike's grappling hook to the nunchucks, or saying the early Mirage comics weren't that great and that the Turtles had no distinguishable personalities. He obviously read past Mirage #1, so the the personalities he came up with did begin in the comics.

I can understand where he is coming from. On Radio stations to listen to someone eating or various things in the background, sort of distracts the audience. As for your voice in general, i've watched people on youtube with very hard to understand voices. You don't really come close to that.

Especially since nearly every other Turtle universe really did use David Wise's ideas, just like he said.

Even minor stuff like the Turtle communicators showed up again in the 4kids series (as the Shell Cells), and again in the Nick cartoon (as the T-pod).

I just listened to this, and I agree with what everyone has commented. The portion about Channel 6 seems to arise just so that April had people to chit chat with, and that Irma was a Jack Mendlesohn creation who name was inspired by some old play. And I don't mind about having a grappling hook allowing Michelangelo to do more; he's already used it in the Nick series already.

I thought the portion about "don't animate in Ireland" in reference to Fred Wolf even knowing that those Dublin-animated episodes was hysterical. But the key here is that the relative decline in quality from the pilot was a combination of Fred Wolf and production turnaround; its not as bad as He-Man (less than one week per episode!), but at least the multiple outsourced studios allow for pretty good animation in most of the series. It's a shame Mr. Wise hates CGI, otherwise he would be working on the Nick series.

The questions that were asked were pretty nonsensical, especially that shipping question about people pairing the Turtles with their own female characters...ugh.

Why didn't anyone ask David Wise why more of the Playmates mutant characters weren't featured? Or what led to the creation of Lord Dregg and why Shredder/Krang were replaced? Or why there were so many mad scientists in the show?

Jesus, you guys missed the boat on some interesting queries.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I did my best to ask a few good question give the 1980s TMNT cartoon is the thing I'm least experienced with in terms of TMNT Cartoons/Comics/Movies (I'm pretty sure I watched some of it since my sister did, but I was so young by the time she stopped, most of that memory is a blur; the first movie is the first thing I clearly remember of TMNT).

Still, it was a fun experience. Learning the decisions behind what is and isn't adapted from a source material has always been a subject I liked talking about, and I did want to ask a few questions about things I knew of the material.

You don't think people should have asked him things about the OT people always wanted? Like my questions above or what the censors told them to tone down after Season 1?

Most of the questions asked was either common stuff we already knew, or questions that were kind of a waste.

And Peter Laird would have had serious issues with the Baxter Stockman episode of the Nick series...


Yes, I'd have rather heard an answer to the Red Sky changes as opposed to the whole fanfic/shipping question (sorry Jeff), but to say things like, "Jesus, you guys missed the boat on some interesting queries." is a bit much....

You really need to work on how you present your opinions. You opinions aren't often that off base, but the way you present them is what brings the heat.

I'm calling shenanigans on giving Wise the credit for creating cell phones.

The man get credit for many things, but cell phones and iPods aren't on the list.

Maybe not creating actual cellphones and such, but without the OT there's wouldn't be Shell Cells and tPods. The Turtles never had need for 'superhero communicator devices' in the comics or even the live-action movies.

Jester

I dunna, cell phones are HUGE now (and were widely used during the 4Kids run). Even if the Turtles didn't use TurtleComs in the FW series, I'm sure by 2003 they would be using Shell Cells.

Or you know... regular cellphones... After the first few eps to kinda... show them off and such... I don't seem to remember them using them all too often in the show. I kinda don't remember them being used in Back to the Sewers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here?

To not only get a professional in the industry at a certain hour, but also everyone else on your podcast (and this is considering different time zones where people live in places 3 hours ahead or behind others) too for that matter.

OK, I've listened to it on a couple of different computers and it seems to be something with the compression of the .MP3... on some, it'll play fine all the way through. On other, somewhat older computers, towards the end the file begins to get disjointed and... implode on itself. It also could be what you're using to play it.

I've been listening to past podcasts because you have some really interesting guests. David Wise was a bit weird with his apathetic yet sensitive approach on the TMNT. He takes way too much credit for bringing the Turtles into the mainstream and feels like every version thereafter is a rip off of his ideas. :roll:
My favourite awkward moment during that episode is where at one point you can hear an audio clip of a girl saying something like "Wanna pop my cherry?", in a sexy voice. It was coming from one of the hosts (or even more hilariously, the guest's) computer.
It doesn't beat the all time best awkward moment of the entire podcast (talking about the TMNT Universes) when Jeff suddenly screams "MOM, STOP DOING THAT!". I literally jumped when that happened. It was pretty much this:

I just worry how entertaining I'd be at this point. If I were to force myself to read, say, the last few years of the IDW comics I'd probably not have too much nice to say... and you know what they say about if you can't do that. Plus I don't want to crap on those guys. I certainly haven't watched any "Rise of the TMNT" and nor do I plan on. Never saw the last movie and definitely never plan to.

I guess we can discuss the general stuff going on with TMNT? It would get us through like... one episode.

Just do a podcast once Shredder's Revenge comes out, and talk about how the game is like.

You could always talk about Batman Vs. TMNT if you haven't already. There's always the N.E.C.A. stuff. Heck you could even cover the recent reveal of April (before Shredder or Raph and Don) as a playable character in that Nickelodeon Smash Bros. rip-off.

If your still waiting on what Tiger Claw suggested to release, but if you guys don't feel like it or your hearts not "in it" anymore that's fine too. Do what makes you happy that's what I always say.

As for me I know once I get back to shore and get settled in, I am going to get right back into the podcast I started with a friend years ago. But whatever you do make certain it's you who wants to do it or it might not work out. Either way have a great day. :tsmile:

There are other TMNT podcasts out there, And they mostly cover the IDW comics or any TMNT related stuff that came out.

. I'm a lot more even-keel these days, no longer the over-emotional train wreck of a man-child I was back in 2013 and I've been wanting the chance to redeem myself and the podcast.

You were a man-child at the age of 32 back then?

I honestly don't think I've ever listened to a podcast in my entire life. Isn't it just like a long youtube video...just without any video? I mean if I want to listen to someone rant about something for 2 hours I'd rather skim through a video.

have you ever listened to talk radio of any kind or listened to news without watching it?

That is essentially a non-internet podcast.

Also, if MoTU can have at least two podcasts with 100+ episodes (At least one does I think the second does as well) I am sure you can figure out a weekly TMNT podcast.

Potential Subjects:
HIstory of the comics
How do you feel about characters/dynamics between characters
Current events like the comic
upcoming media
RUMORS (this is a big pull if you can stay on the ball)
Retrospectives of different parts of the fandom
Product/toy reviews
History of 2nd hand sales (what is the most expensive turtle ever sold?)

You just have to keep thinking on subjects, especially multipart ones. Also...don't consider a million subs to be successful. Look for the thousand mark eventually down the line.

I used to love podcasts, been listening to them since 2004-5ish when I got my ipod shuffle. But I think podcasts peaked in the mid 2010s, most of them are trash now and not worth listening, I literally have to listen to them in 1.75 speed minimum to get through them. I realized many that I listened to were just bad and stopped listening to them and only listened out of habit but my life was better off without them; their golden years were clearly many years ago. And newer podcasts are mostly bad sans a few exceptions of course.

More than ever. People are making whole livings at them.

Only big names now, the market is flooded, everyone and their mother has a podcast.

I've never listened to the radio or a podcast. I don't see how people have the time. If I have free time I'm going to be playing a videogame or watching a show/movie...not listen to people babble about something for an hour or two. It's bad enough we have youtube videos for that.

On long road trips and while working are usually the times I listen to podcasts. Playing videogames and watching tv both require your full attention, while podcasts only require listening.

You can do it for free, so I’m sure he’s aware of it. I’d expect a “what’s the point of exercising? Who cares about looking good when I can just fast forward through movies all day? I’m looking at actors, I’m not looking at myself.”

Like I already told you on Facebook Messenger, I mainly wanted to spend the first episode discussing our own personal history with the TMNT and how it lead us to the fan-base, and of course how we got to know each other and worked on certain projects over the years. Like others have said, there are enough people out their going on about the new stuff. I want to focus on the TMNT we grew up with and what elements of those classic iterations we wish to see more of.

Count me in whenever. I'd love to be in a ninja turtle podcast again.

If Andrew doesn't want to do it, maybe I'll do one with you and my friend Patrick at some point in the future.

Never hurts to ask. Especially if Jeph is there too. I'm sure if we keep the subject to the Ninja Turtles, it should be fine.

I've never actually spoken directly with her before, but I know of her history with Michelle Ivey; I can't help but wonder how it would play out having her join us in a recording. Sheesh, no wonder our fan base is so messed up. Everybody's on somebody else's sh*t list. :trolleye:

Me, I have a different problem. I always find myself fixated on people who seem to dislike me, which is frustrating as hell. I wish I could just get over it when somebody wants nothing to do with me, but my damn ego always tends to get the better of me. It's kinda like that episode of Seinfeld where George was drawn to Jerry's girlfriend who seemed to dislike him.
