TMNT Podcast: What the Shell!

[happymonkeyshoes]

Hey guys! Have an update, just been so busy I haven't been around.

We interviewed David Wise who wrote a lot of the original 80's cartoon, so why not check it out and let us know what you think!

Thanks for the interview, and I'd like to share what us fans don't know so I can post it here. The reason why David changed Splinter's origin was that he felt that it was nonsensical that a rat could learn ninjitsu. The origin of the names "Rocksteady and Bebop" came from David's look at the New York street culture at the time, where there was some hip-hop/punk group called "The Rocksteady Crew" and a person whose nickname was "Bebop". It was a Playmates' employee idea to create a Rhino and a Warthog for the series. So, David simply decided to mutate two punks that he created in the first scene, and that's how we got Rocksteady and Bebop. David also referenced the movie "The Crawling Eye" where some alien brain inspired him to give Krang's tenticles, eyes, and mind.

No problem. We had so many questions to ask him, but the line was bad, so we had to cut it short, sadly. Hopefully we can interview him again.

Over the last week I've worked my way through listening to each episode, it's really enjoyable guys! I'm particularly fond of the interviews and insider info such as the MCM London 2012 Q&A you covered.

I grew up with the 88 turtle cartoon and toys, so I'm always happy to hear discussion on those, but I'm particularly excited about the potential for more Nick turtles stuff on your pod!

With the new Nick cartoon, toys, IDW line of comics ad upcoming film, you guys should have a lot of material in the coming years!

Nice job scoring that David Wise interview, guys! Hopefully we'll see (er... "hear") some more great content from you in the future.

Who keeps making the clicking or popping noises during the podcasts? Almost every episode has a couple of points where it will sound like someone is opening a soda or something, it's kinda distracting.

[happymonkeyshoes]

@Fugitoid Jones - I have no idea, it might be the quality of the line or the mikes. I'll have a word and find out. Usually its something relatively simple.

So we've got two new episodes for you:

1) We interview the lovely Michele Ivey of Cowabunga Corner, learning what makes her tick and how she got into the TMNT:

2) We have a brief look at the news roundup, offering our opinions on the new trailer, theme song and movie news. We also get a review from Suine on both the new Nickelodeon TMNT figures and the Classic ones.

Let us know what you think.

We also have a tumblr page as well:

I'm going to try and post as much fan art and photos on there as I can, as well as episodes.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Yay new episode I really love it so far guys. Thanks for all of your hard work. No better way to spend my long, boring days at work than to listen to turtle fans talk turtle stuff. Next best thing to doing it myself.

Followed you on Tumblr, too

[happymonkeyshoes]

Thanks Zulithe. I listen to podcasts at work too, only chance I get to as well

However the next podcast is our commentary for the first TMNT film, which proved difficult as the US and UK releases are slightly different.

[happymonkeyshoes]

Hey guys!

New podcast is up. The gang and Michele Ivey of COwabunga COrner do a commentary of the first live action film from 1990!!!

Myself and Chris Vint are slightly ahead, turns out the UK release was cut a little bit.

Let us know what you think!

[Zulithe]

haha I loaded up my copy of TMNT blu-ray and listened along with you guys in sync

great idea for an episode

guess you need to do TMNT 2 next! (feel free to skip 3! just saying! lol, kidding)

if you decide to do commentaries of the OT that would be cool too. Especially episodes from season 1 or other 'tentpole' episodes

your pod is only going to get more popular once the new show comes on TV!

[happymonkeyshoes]

Hey guys!

Episode 6 of What the Shell is up, and we discuss some of the news and rumours kicking about such as LEGO TMNT and the leaked script.

http://whattheshell.podbean.com/2012...eptember-news/

As always lets us know what you think. We're looking for the new series to start so we can begin the reviews!!

[soliloquy]
