Heroes in a Half-Shell: The 1990 Turtle Takeover
Hello everyone,
We are back this week with Ben and Deej. Grab a slice of nostalgia as we dive deep into the gritty sewers of cinema history! In this episode of Required Taste Podcast, we explore the radical origins and behind-the-shell story of the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. From the comic book roots and marketing mania to the groundbreaking animatronics that brought our favorite heroes to life, this episode uncovers how four mutant turtles became a pop culture phenomenon. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just turtle-curious, join us for a totally tubular trip back to the '90s—where pizza was plenty, the one-liners were legendary, and Turtle Power ruled the streets.
