Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990: Why Nothing Else Compares

Hayden, Mitch, and Tom

Send us a text

Step back into the sewers with us as we celebrate the groundbreaking 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film—a movie that holds the distinction of being the most profitable indie film until Blair Witch came along nearly a decade later. What makes this original adaptation so special? Why do all subsequent reboots pale in comparison?

From Jim Henson's revolutionary puppetry work to the perfect blend of humor and heart, we break down the film scene by scene, highlighting memorable moments like Raphael's anger issues, Casey Jones' vigilante introduction, and the emotional connection between Splinter and his turtle sons. Did you know each actor who wore a turtle suit also appeared in human cameos throughout the movie? Or that Corey Feldman voiced Donatello for a mere $7,000 because he didn't think the film would succeed?

The conversation naturally flows into our recent entertainment experiences, from the immersive world of Oblivion Remastered to Disney+'s surprisingly gritty Daredevil series. We debate the merits of practical effects versus CGI, reminisce about classic gaming mechanics, and share recommendations for games like Space Marines 2 and the upcoming Ready or Not.

Whether you're a longtime TMNT fan or simply appreciate groundbreaking filmmaking, this nostalgic deep dive captures why some cultural touchstones continue to resonate decades later. The practical effects, authentic performances, and earnest storytelling of the original Turtles film created something special that modern technology simply can't replicate—proving sometimes, the original recipe remains the best.

Yeah, we did free comic book day starting at pretty much 8 o'clock, and now it's 9 o'clock at night.

Speaker 1:

I got up at 7 am and I was just like ugh. We ate a muffin for breakfast, and then we didn't eat again until like 7 pm when we all ate McDonald's and decimated a bunch of chicken nuggets.

Speaker 3:

We suffer for your amusement. Mitch, are you not entertained?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 3:

Cowabunga, all right, thank you, he's trying to set us up, jeez he took my buzzer. Macho man just screaming. I guess I need a buzzer.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, he needs a buzzer too. Anyways, we are going to be talking about the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Speaker 3:

They've tried new reboots and stuff and none of them live up to the greatness. They tried to re-Bukal Pretty much A historical movie. Do you know why, tom? Why in the film industry is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles historical?

Speaker 1:

Because there were real-life Ninja Turtles in New York City in 1822?.

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 1:

Until they were hunted down by the government Mitch in film history.

Speaker 3:

why is 1990s?

Speaker 2:

Because it was the largest indie film, or well, most profitable indie film, all the way up until Blair Witch came out. You're a smart man. Yeah, because it's my favorite movie.

Speaker 3:

Of course I know this People never took indie films seriously, even back then.

Speaker 1:

It's wild that two of the biggest indie films of all time as far as highest grossing, all happened in the same decade. Then Blair Witch came out in 1999. Well, yeah again, yeah, Like 1999.

Speaker 2:

Well yeah, I guess yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1:

The 90s the best decade.

Speaker 3:

They all run together the pinnacle of human achievements. Who did the puppetry?

Speaker 1:

Jim Hansen.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, hansen Hansen, not the Hansen brothers.

Speaker 1:

When you said the Hansen brothers I was was like the guys from the movie slap shot I got a text.

Speaker 3:

Oh okay, all right, hey, very important, it's his wife going.

Speaker 1:

Where are you?

Speaker 3:

doing it for the pod. All right, take us away mitch. How's this movie? Where are we going? What?

Speaker 2:

is it in 1990? In the streets?

Speaker 3:

of new y Narrated by Macho.

Speaker 2:

Man. The movie starts off with April. Well, it starts off where you see a bunch of foot soldiers robbing people in broad daylight with the help of teenage thieves.

Speaker 1:

Are they generic bad movie thieves? Like they don't have guns?

Speaker 2:

Well no, these are like pickpockets. They're doing the whole walk, pickpocket guy, and that's when we walk past the wallet off to the next person.

Speaker 3:

They're smoking mirrors. They're troubled youths.

Speaker 2:

But they're like, basically they're just stealing TVs and emptying out cargo trucks and stuff.

Speaker 1:

They're pickpocketing TVs from people.

Speaker 2:

Well, there's a lady sitting on like the turns, leans in the window to get something. You just see two hands come in, grab the TV and pull it out of the way and then she like looks down, she's like hey, and she sees some kid run off.

Speaker 1:

She's on like the eighth floor and nobody really knows how fast that kid got down there.

Speaker 3:

Here's a niche trivia question for you, Mitch. The opening shot was originally what?

Speaker 2:

Originally what. I Originally what.

Speaker 3:

Originally what I don't know. It was turtle shells popping out of the water. Oh, that's right, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I remember that, but they didn't use it in the film.

Speaker 3:

They cut it.

Speaker 2:

And they actually used something similar in the second movie.

Speaker 3:

They used it for the trailer for the movie, right, but they cut it because of budget reasons.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Something about they couldn't. After the dock crashes.

Speaker 3:

How come April O'Neil doesn't wear yellow all the time? Because she wasn't going to the actor was like no, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 2:

She compromised in the very like after the whole like robbing people scene, she wears like a yellow raincoat in the very first scene, when she's walking out to her car she gets mugged and it was actually supposed to be like a big fight scene in that. But because of budget, again they just cut it to where everything goes black because the turtle throws it, knocks out the light. Everything goes black, the police lights come up and all of a sudden you see all the bad guys tied up, which actually I think works better.

Speaker 1:

It does. They tied them up, but they were all dead.

Speaker 2:

They're just tuckered out the whole premise which kind of forces April O'Neil and the Ninja Turtles together is? Raphael drops his sigh while he was up there. He's like peeking through the little sewer cover, he's like oh.

Speaker 1:

He drops a sigh Sewer cover. He's like oh, no-transcript.

Speaker 2:

He gets into his chest, but then you get the whole. I don't know. It's like a montage of them, like seeing different pieces of the sewer as they're walking in. You see their shadows. They jump around the corner and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pops on the screen Cowabunga.

Speaker 1:

Their image was like woo.

Speaker 3:

Every time, little Mitch, when we worked together in the same office, you'd have that movie on. When, like nobody would decide on what to watch, you just put it it could be on repeat over and over and over again I can enjoy that movie all day you're sick. You need help. If you, if you chained him to a chair and just put a TV in front of him and made him watch Ninja Turtles, you would be the one he would be loving it.

Speaker 2:

We can't break him, I mean it's been a while, but it used to be where I could just quote the movie as they said, the lines, the whole time.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's another thing that would drive me. Nuts is shut up and let me watch the movie.

Speaker 2:

My wife said the same thing. She's like I'm not watching if you're going to quote the whole thing.

Speaker 3:

I said like one time, I was like, hey, mitch, let's keep it that way.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we better let them say it. But anyways, they have that, they go in. They see Splinter. You know he's asking were you seen? No, of course not. Oh, here we go, and then Michelangelo's like ordering the pizza in the background. And then you know they find out Raphael. He's pissed off because he lost his sigh. And then him and Donatello start getting into a sho match and Raphael grabs his hat and coat and says he's leaving because you know that's what he does.

Speaker 1:

I just like they just put on giant trench coats and like fedoras. It's just not like they're hulkingly bizarre shaped people With the weird open mouth thing With the guy in it going. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's like Irvigird face, irvigird.

Speaker 2:

Well before we get to that part, splinter's like Irvigird face Irvigird. Well before we get to that part, splinter's like telling him like we should meditate on the evening. Then you see, like you hear the as the record starts up and they start dancing and like pointing you know all sorts of nonsense.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Then it cuts to Raphael, like walking out of the Critters movie. Like he's walking out and you see the Critters sign. He's walking down. Basically he's wearing the trench coat, hat and a backpack, but he's like no pants, no shoes.

Speaker 3:

Weird two turtle feet.

Speaker 2:

Well, these two robbers run down the street, grab the purse from some old lady, he trips them and as they roll over and look at him, he, like, opens his coat points to the side and they're like, not the fact that there's a turtle body with a weird giant wiener fingers reaches down point. I love you guys.

Speaker 2:

basically, they see that, they get up, they run off into the woods and they're like what the heck was that? And immediately casey Casey Jones drops out of a tree, proceeds to beat them up with a hockey stick yeah, vigilantes. Well then Raphael shows up, knocks Casey Jones down. The two bad guys run away. Then they commence the fighting because, you know, there can only be one vigilante in this town.

Speaker 2:

Well there can only be four, but they have to be turtles. Well, you get the part where, basically, casey Jones like knocks him down. What you see is like Raphael's head leaning over his green bald head and he's like what, are you some sort of punker?

Speaker 1:

Punker, whatever that means Exactly.

Speaker 2:

But they get into a fight Raphael's kind of winning and stuff and then all of a sudden he uh, basically lets his guard down. Casey jones, like, uppercuts him with a cricket bat, knocks him into the. The uh trash can. He falls over and casey jones runs off. Yeah, then he comes home and he has a little heart to heart with splinter about how you know he has anger you must.

Speaker 1:

I don't get it, Dad, I'm just so mad. Well, Kyle you need to get it.

Speaker 2:

Then it goes to the next part, where April's like what was it? I can't remember that. Oh no, I can't remember a part.

Speaker 3:

I have no memory of this place. While you're remembering Tom Hayden Hayden, why did splinter's eyes constantly cry?

Speaker 1:

he was very upset. The puppet, I don't know there's.

Speaker 3:

The director thought like that was the only way that they could show emotion with splinter.

Speaker 2:

The problem was it like corroded the material around his eyes rapidly so they had to like constantly replace the masking but the whole thing was just like a big electronic puppet that the guy carried on his arm.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, oh, my God.

Speaker 2:

And from what I heard, like some parts, he's actually used two people to puppet the one thing.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, double puppets, and Jim Henson didn't mess around.

Speaker 2:

But then it leads to April. She's like talking to the police chief and stuff, basically like making him look bad on live TV. Then she fusses at him.

Speaker 2:

Danny uh, you see him like in the background being escorted into the police station for getting arrested for stealing something not danny but uh, april walks out of the uh, the, I guess, city hall or whatever, and you see rafael just standing there pretending like he's reading a newspaper in broad daylight. As she walks into the, he just turns and follows her. Well, that's when she's like she misses her subway train. The foot soldiers show up behind her, ooh, and then she proceeds to pull out the scythe like she's going to fight him with it, like all 12 of them.

Speaker 3:

She just stabs the guy in the jaw. The rest of them scatter Easy lady.

Speaker 1:

We just wanted your money.

Speaker 2:

She's playing for keeps, well, no? So they knock the scythe out of her hand, so she proceeds to use her.

Speaker 1:

Pull out a gun.

Speaker 2:

She uses her purse and starts hitting him with it and they knock her out.

Speaker 1:

You better run man. People with guns would just annihilate the Foot Clan.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, while they're doing this, it does have kind of a cool scene where you see Raphael's hand reach in, you grab the side and you hear it drag across the concrete and then all of a sudden he runs in like double, kicks the two of them, flips the sides around, just starts beating them all up. Yeah, it's pretty cool, although it does look kind of funny because he's still wearing the hat and the backpack and everything it's.

Speaker 3:

They just stapled.

Speaker 2:

Like Indiana Jones, they stapled a fedora to his head that was bright, that was very bright, but then he picks up April and just carries her off into the subway like down the tunnel and they start playing Phantom of the Opera.

Speaker 2:

Well, he carries her back to the turtle lair and then you find out there's a foot soldier that followed them all the way there. And then, while they're trying to wake her up, he's like looking through and peeking through the little hole in the door and realizes that you know, hey, these people live here. So eventually they explain to April like who they are. She thinks they're in a dream. She's like why don't I ever dream of Harrison Ford?

Speaker 1:

That's such a 1990 thing.

Speaker 2:

But I like when they lay her on the couch. Michael H looks a 1990 thing, but I like when they lay her on the couch. Michelangelo looks up and he goes.

Speaker 1:

Can we keep her? Can we keep her? It's like no.

Speaker 2:

But, like when she wakes up, she starts screaming. And you got Michelangelo and Leonardo look at each other and go start screaming like girls too. But they take her back to her apartment. She tells them she'd invite them up, but she doesn't have anything but frozen pizza. And that's when you have. Donatello pops out of the sewer. He's, like you said, the magic word.

Speaker 1:

Pizza.

Speaker 2:

So then it cuts to them laughing and joking and stuff in her apartment. They go downstairs because they're leaving or whatever. And they're leaving or whatever and they're like bye. They get back and Splinter's been kidnapped. Their whole place has been ransacked. And that's when you have like Raphael kind of loses, it walks in. He's like nah.

Speaker 3:

Raphael.

Speaker 2:

Well then they show back up at April's place and they're like she's like what happened. You know Splinter. Well then they show back up at April's place and they're like she's like what happened? You know splinter, Splinter. So then they start living with her. I think Danny comes in because, basically, like the dad won't let him out of his sight.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And so, like he sees Michelangelo in the mirror, turns around and he's gone.

Speaker 3:

Isn't his dad like the quintessential too-busy-to-be-a-parent father? Pretty much? Yeah, he's like I've got business to do and he like runs off with a typewriter and stuff.

Speaker 1:

I need to be at work Money.

Speaker 2:

After that they have Danny and his dad going down the road and all of a sudden, as he jumps out. So I don't know how he got out of the seatbelt. He like grr.

Speaker 1:

And his dad just looks at him and clicks the unclick Run away Good.

Speaker 2:

I'm telling your mom you joined the circus. He runs down to the subway and that's when you see the coolest teenage hideout ever. Because the Foot Clan just got all these kids playing poker, smoking, playing arcade games, skating ever. Because the Foot Clan just got all these kids playing poker, smoking, playing arcade games, skating.

Speaker 3:

Like hoodlums they are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, skateboarding hoodlums, it really makes like being a bad guy, like huh, it doesn't seem that terrible.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I see all the arcade games they have and that's when you kind of get introduced to what's his name. Guy was in Moon.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I was going to gonna say guy, but that's from, uh, the movie that he's in.

Speaker 2:

He was in sam rockwell, sam rockwell yeah, one of his original like first roles sam rockwell was in the yeah basically he's walking.

Speaker 2:

He's walking down these two like older teenagers. He's like so what do you think? He's like regular, a mental. He's like holding out cigarettes to give him and stuff. And then it flashes over to like you see, some of the older, you know teenager stuff practicing their ninjutsu or basically getting beat up by the second-in-command guy. Then you have this whole Shredder like walk in slow. You know you're here because the outside world doesn't love you.

Speaker 3:

But Shredder loves you.

Speaker 2:

I mean basically, he's like I am your father, this is your family.

Speaker 3:

Who does the voice of Shredder?

Speaker 2:

The voice I don't remember.

Speaker 3:

Wasn't it, uncle Phil.

Speaker 2:

No, that was for the cartoon.

Speaker 1:

David McCarron.

Speaker 2:

David McCarron does the voice. James Saito is the original Shredder.

Speaker 3:

We know who does Shredder in.

Speaker 2:

TMNT 2. We do, but after that you have Danny, raises his hand, tells him he knows where the turtles are. And that's when uh was it, ref. You see rafael and leonardo arguing because they. Rafael wants to go look for splinter right now. Leonardo's like no. First we got to find out some more information. April's on the tv talking about how you know, there's this ancient ninja clan here in the city, ninja clan. Well, raphael goes off on his own again goes to the rooftop. Casey Jones sees him from afar with some binoculars.

Speaker 1:

He just has a. Well, he's sitting.

Speaker 2:

Peeping.

Speaker 3:

Tom.

Speaker 2:

Basically, casey Jones is sitting on a roof fixing his gear or whatever, and he's got to see something in the distance and try to figure out what it is. He pulls up his binoculars, can tell it's Raphael, and Raphael proceeds to get curb stomped by a whole host of foot soldiers yeah, because he's beating them up. He's like how do you expect to beat me? And then they all like close in at once.

Speaker 1:

And he's like, oh wait.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, like the next scene is like him getting kicked in the stomach. You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to go one at a time. Yeah, one at a time. Eventually he gets thrown through the sunroof of the building lands and he's pretty much incapacitated for like the next 30 minutes of the movie. And you have the three turtles trying to fight in April's apartment with all sorts of stuff you have, like Michelangelo doing his like test with the other ninja turtle or with the other foot soldier.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, see, isn't there like a big goof in there too, like you can see their wires.

Speaker 2:

Not in that part. There's a part where you can see actually one of the cameramen.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, see one of the cameramen.

Speaker 2:

Or one of the not the actors, but the crewmen.

Speaker 3:

Like they're foam.

Speaker 2:

He's crouched down behind a table as they're fighting the soldiers.

Speaker 3:

Their foam swords are like bending on Goofy and stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's one scene where, when Leonardo originally leaves April's apartment, the sword gets stuck on the wall and it kind of bends backwards as he's walking by.

Speaker 3:

And then the famous dude inside the mouth of one of the turtles.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, that's later. We're getting there. We're getting there Bright eyes just staring.

Speaker 3:

Basically, yeah, the turtle's fighting.

Speaker 2:

They're doing all this stuff. Well then there's a part where the turtle's basically like rolling across and the foot soldiers keep missing and hitting the axes on the floor. And then they look up and there's more foot soldiers about to jump in. He's like I don't think it's such a good idea for your guys to join. Well, they jump in and then the whole floor collapses into the basement or into the first floor of, like the antique store.

Speaker 3:

I hope she gets her deposit back. She's not.

Speaker 2:

They start fighting down there, it she's not. They start fighting down there, it gets caught on fire. Casey Jones shows up, saves the day, basically holding off the foot soldiers in time for everybody to get out. Then they go to the old farm, where the old farm yeah, basically April is like telling little stories, but she's like drawing the different scenes and stuff. You've got Donatello and Casey Jones working on the truck so they can get back. Michelangelo's pretty much off just training by himself.

Speaker 1:

You got Leonardo, you're like waving nunchucks and you're out.

Speaker 2:

You got Leonardo just kind of sitting by Raphael's side as he's unconscious in the tub.

Speaker 2:

He's dead Pretty much. But actually they ache in this part to more of like why they chose Michelangelo to be the last Ronin in the comics because he takes it the hardest, because that's why he goes off by himself and he's actually training punching the punching bag and all sorts of stuff, and that's why they chose him later on Not eating pizza. But eventually Raphael wakes up. They start training some more Leonardo's kind of meditating and Splinter kind of calls out to him through the astral plane. So then they have their the Force ghost projects himself.

Speaker 2:

It is part of Ninja Turtles.

Speaker 3:

Ninja Turtles.

Speaker 2:

I like turtles.

Speaker 1:

I like turtles I like turtles as he starts crying. He's just like.

Speaker 2:

But they basically have the whole Force ghost scene where they start meditating and Splinter tells him that he loves him and this might be the last time he gets to talk to him, and then you are the chosen one. It makes me tear up a little bit, because you've got Michelangelo starting to cry.

Speaker 3:

That's how Mitch cries just sloppy.

Speaker 2:

But then after that they head back and Danny's hiding out in their sewer, lair from the Foot Clan because he doesn't want to be part of them anymore. I'm a good guy now.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to be a foot guy. I'm joining the Shoulder Clan.

Speaker 2:

The Head and Shoulder Clan.

Speaker 3:

They all have dandruff. Don't make fun of the dandruff, dust Dandruff.

Speaker 1:

They stand over people go ah ah.

Speaker 2:

But with Danny standing there, they're like ah yeah, we should really go after the Foot Clan, but we should get a good night's rest first, so they all go to sleep.

Speaker 1:

Danny betrays all of them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he wants to be a good guy, wakes up, goes back you. He goes to talk to Splinter where he's being held, and Shredder catches him.

Speaker 3:

Kills him.

Speaker 2:

He molests him with his eyes. What? Because he looks at him and then he's not touching him, but he's moving his hand down his body. He's sensitive, looking at him. And then he reaches in his back pocket and pulls out the picture of the Ninja Turtle. He's like they're back Then he kills him. You would think right.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But so he sends all the foot soldiers after him. He's like this time I go myself. So all the foot soldiers show up, the turtles turn on the steam in the lair and beat them all up before it clears. And then that's when Raphael he's standing there eating an apple he goes gosh. I sure do wish there was more of them. And then more charge in and they beat them up. They literally chased the foot soldiers out of the sewers where the foot soldiers are running from them trying to get away. They chase them to the rooftop. That's when Shredder shows up, proceeds to beat the holy hell out of all four of them.

Speaker 3:

Nice.

Speaker 2:

And then they trick. Basically, he provokes Leonardo into anger and tricks him to where, basically, all he'd have to do is stab him in the throat, because he's already trapped him on the ground. He makes the other three throw their weapons away. That's when Splinter shows up, because Casey's beating up Tatsu, which is like the second in command, rescued Splinter and somehow Splinter disappears from the middle of a crowd, this giant rat that they were holding onto, oh, he's a rat and he's at the top of the building.

Speaker 3:

He's very crafty.

Speaker 2:

But Shredder realizes that Splinter is the same rat that cut his face. Oh Same rat, yeah, when he killed Hamato Yoshi, which was Splinter's master, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he goes charging at him because he loses his cool.

Speaker 1:

Oh, no, he goes charging him.

Speaker 2:

And when the turtles threw their weapons off, michelangelo's nunchuck got hung on one of the ladders. So he grabs that like, wraps it around, flips him over and then, you know, shredder being Shredder tries to throw a knife, loses his grip, falls into the trash compactor in the trash truck and basically and basically, casey Jones just commits murder. He walks over and goes, whoops, he pulls the lever down, hey, wait, and then you get the whole celebration of Casey and April kissing the turtles high-fiving on top of the rooftop.

Speaker 3:

Can't believe?

Speaker 2:

she's specious like that. But yeah, it's a great movie. If you like Ninja Turtles and you've never seen this, shame on you. You should Shame on you. I wish they would go back to like these suits Because, while I know that they were a production nightmare.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because they said like the guys lost 20 pounds from sweating inside these suits.

Speaker 1:

Those suits did not look like they breathed.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, what's funny is the one turtle that was an actor and the stunt guy inside the suit. All of them had cameos at one point.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Raphael, you could see their face. But that guy shows a cameo where he was a footman and he had a mask on.

Speaker 2:

No, not that one, that was Donatello's. Oh yeah, Donatello, he's the foot soldier that tells April that, like yo, she needs to silence herself. He was talking about the Foot Clan in the subway. Raphael's the one where, when he's chasing Casey Jones down the street, he rolls across the hood and then the guy in the back of the cab leans up. What the heck was that? That was him.

Speaker 1:

Some guy dressed in pajamas.

Speaker 2:

Michelangelo's cameo. The actor was the Domino's Pizza guy that leans in. He's trying to put the pizza through the grate. He's like this is the 10. The tab's 13. You're two minutes late, dude. Yes, I know the world, I know. Let's see Leonardo's. He was one of the teenagers in the Foot Clan at the very end when Casey Jones is fighting Tatsu. He's one of the ones standing right next to Sam Rockwell.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, is fighting Tatsu.

He's one of the ones standing right next to Sam Rockwell. Yeah, but yeah. I mean Corey Feldman does the voice of Donatello, which he actually, because he didn't think the movie would be good, only took like I think it was like $6,000 to $7,000 for pay, and that was it, and then he was really mad that they wouldn't give him anything else later when the movie did so well, Is he still alive? Yeah, he actually has a band of some sort, Corey.

A discarded dildo, hayden wins by a good bit Yay. But since we finished this part a little early, we're going to talk a little bit about some stuff that we've been watching lately.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

You watched anything lately or played any games lately?

Speaker 3:

Let me think of a good punishment for Tom.

Speaker 1:

Me and Reg will be watching Peaky Blondes. Peaky Blondes Now. Have you seen? It before no, never seen it?

Speaker 2:

Oh, you've never seen it.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I watched the first episode when it came out and didn't get into it.

Speaker 2:

Well, you're lucky because some of these seasons were like two years apart, so you don't have to wait.

Speaker 1:

We quickly went from the beginning and I was like uh.

Speaker 2:

And then the end of season one.

Speaker 1:

I heard they're doing a film with all them reprising their roles.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I never finished the last season, I don't know why, I just couldn't get into it.

Speaker 2:

It's because it was like three years after the season before it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it kind of just wore off on you.

Speaker 3:

It's only so much that the dude Kelly Murphy's character he just survives everything.

Speaker 1:

Literally literally. Just like you, lucky bum, I've been playing Space Marines 2. I'm almost done with the campaign, didn't they?

Speaker 2:

come out with more DLC for it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they did. They got a whole bunch of new DLC stuff, the Space. Wolves, the Iron Fists, the Raven Guard, Dark Angels, so there's like more to play. Yeah, they added, I think, three new operations, missions. There's a couple new maps, new weapons. They got a really cool tactical suit for the space wolves, where you have like a wolf's head helmet. Oh, that is cool. That looks really awesome. That would be pretty cool. It is really cool. I was like I think it's the assault class.

Speaker 2:

I was like ooh.

Speaker 1:

Because you know, I like my bulwark and the dark angels with the hood and like the big helmet with the big feathers on the side, like Thor looks really awesome. That game is peak masculinity.

Speaker 1:

Because I started playing it and then, like five minutes in, I'm like for the emperor and I'm like brother, brother, as I'm like cutting people down Because, like, I only played like the first two missions and then we went right into multiplayer and started grinding that out when we all got the game and then we were doing the operations. So now that I'm actually playing through the campaign, I was like those Xenos scum. I hate them, I hate y'all.

Speaker 3:

I hate y'all.

Speaker 2:

It's like heretic. So have either one of y'all watched Daredevil yet yeah. Nope you haven't watched it yet. Nope, never's wrong with you A lot. It's actually a good show.

Speaker 1:

I just know the guy because he's in the Spider-Man movie and he's Peter Parker's lawyer and he catches the brick and it's like how'd you do that? He?

Speaker 3:

goes. I'm a great lawyer. The Netflix one was good. It kind of petered towards the end but the Disney reboot is actually pretty good, it's not even a reboot. It's like a.

Speaker 2:

I mean it's like a continuation, pretty much like a year later. Yeah, it's actually pretty good, I was surprised Disney went to the level of violence and stuff that they went.

Speaker 1:

They're not as surprising for Disney.

Speaker 2:

They kept it R-rated.

Speaker 3:

There's a serial killer who's like. What's that mysterious graffiti artist that makes it People want to spend a million dollars on his stuff? He just does something I don't know.

Speaker 2:

But in this TV show he's called Muse.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But he uses people's blood as the paint. I can't have him spacing on his name.

Speaker 3:

What's his name? He's like a mysterious artist and like he, like they put a remember that he put a famous painting on auction and like like once the guy sold for a million dollars the frame of the painting, was a paper shredder and just shredded the painting right as it was sold. You never it was like a real thing. Yeah, it happened.

Speaker 1:

And everybody's like. I love the art.

Speaker 3:

What is that guy's name? It's like I can't remember what it's called.

Speaker 2:

All right, but basically, yeah, this guy, somehow he mixes chemicals with it and basically he kidnaps people, drains them of their blood and then uses that to paint stuff, because the city crew and stuff realize they can't wash it off with their normal stuff. But Kingpin becomes mayor and he knows who Daredevil is and he's like you know, we can't have vigilantes around here Banksy. Yeah, sure, that guy. Okay, but you have White Tiger, that basically he's getting framed and Daredevil has to like Lawyer him out.

Speaker 2:

See, I'm trying to find a way to phrase it without divulging the main plot. That happens at the very beginning.

Speaker 3:

Lawyer antics ensue.

Speaker 1:

Courtroom drama.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, then things happen to him.

Speaker 3:

He dates a psychiatrist.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, punisher shows back up. He's still crazy.

Speaker 3:

The only problem I have with the show is it ended, and it just ended. Obviously, they were leaving it open for more well, they've already started. They've already been filming season two I was like, oh okay, so there's going to be another episode. And then, like three weeks went by and I was like what's another episode going on? I checked and it was like it was.

Speaker 2:

I guess, the season's done well, I mean, I know they've already started filming the second season because there's set photos of daredevil in a suit that he never wore this first season. So they've already started filming it. So it's supposed to come out next year, the next season.

Speaker 3:

It's interesting because Kingpin is the mayor of New York now and he's positioned everybody to hate vigilantes through politics and Daredevil's trying to be retired and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

But they keep pulling him back in, they keep bringing him back in.

Speaker 2:

I'm not back. Yeah, I think.

Speaker 3:

I'm back. I'm thinking I'm back.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, bullseye's in it a little bit again, which is the guy that can't miss, basically, except for he does.

Speaker 3:

He's a more realistic Bullseye.

Speaker 2:

He doesn't ricochet peanuts into old ladies' mouths and stuff like that and cause choking, although he does use a tooth to blind a guy.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, he basically gets smashed in the face and while he's being stitched up in prison, he like smiles and there's blood in his mouth. He spits his tooth out at the guy and hits him in the eye, while the guard's like wallowing on the ground, he steals his stuff and proceeds to escape prison. That's so stupid.

Speaker 3:

Tom, I have your punishment. Okay, what is it? Amnesia? The bunker, what it's? On Game Pass.

Speaker 1:

It's a game. Yeah, oh Wow, we haven't done any game. Punishment in forever. That's yours, amnesia.

Speaker 3:

Send it to me on Messenger.

Speaker 2:

It's pretty good. The Messenger it's pretty good and the Daredevil basically it ends off where it leads in, like you think they're going to bring back the rest of the Netflix characters for the street level stuff, but they're not. Well, I mean, I'm pretty sure they are, or at least some of them, because that's there's already a few that's already, like mentioned that they've signed on to appear in Marvel stuff. Didn't say what I sent it to you, thank you.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we're tired, we're struggling. Right, you played any games lately? Uh, I played that uh expedition 33 I can never, I can never remember what the full game is called um.

Speaker 2:

I think that's it, isn't it no, it's got some famous fancy.

Speaker 3:

Let me type in expedition 33. Uh, there it is glare, obscure, expeditioncure, expedition 33. I don't know why they don't just call it Expedition 33. It's just too easy. Yeah, it's a beautiful game. You know, the voice acting is okay. It's very like. I think it's made by like a Korean film or production studio, so like sometimes the things they say and, like the mannerisms that happen, feel like I don't know weird, uh for an english speaking voice cast.

Speaker 3:

But um, it's, it is very beautiful. It's a turn-based rpg with like qte mechanics where you can press a button at the right time and block or parry whatever, and if you get good at that, you can use those mechanics at the right time and block or parry whatever, and if you get good at that, you can use those mechanics to build abilities to like, essentially go Super Saiyan and, you know, blow up the bad guy.

Speaker 2:

Super Saiyan's. Pretty cool the way that the cameras work in the game.

Speaker 3:

to maneuver around the battlefield as you're fighting enemies is really cool. I've never seen it done like that, because it'll drop to your feet when there's a towering monster that you're fighting and it really gives you a sense of scale and make you kind of I don't know encompass the universe a lot better than just a typical RPG where it's just like here's a wide shot of everybody and that little green thing's you and that big green thing's the bad guy. But it's pretty cool. I'm super into it, I'm playing it, but I'm also super distracted by Oblivion Remastered.

Speaker 3:

I watched a few videos on it. It looks really good. It is good I haven't played Oblivion in, probably.

Speaker 1:

Since it came out.

Speaker 3:

When did?

Speaker 1:

Oblivion come out Like 2006?.

Speaker 3:

It feels like it's been 20 years, so that sounds about right Because it was on the Xbox 360?. Or was it on the original Xbox. Let's find out.

Speaker 1:

I don't think it was on the original. I don't think it came out for the original. I think it was a 360. Oblivion, I 360. Oblivion. I don't remember what year it came out, though Original.

Speaker 3:

Well, I mean, skyrim was on the 360, wasn't it? It was a 2006 release, so it's been almost 20 years, wow. And we still can't get Elder Scrolls 6. And did you hear? Grand Theft Auto 6 is looking to be delayed.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's being delayed until.

Speaker 3:

May of next year and like Rockstar was, like we're sorry, yeah, like you're still gonna buy and you're gonna spend a hundred bucks on it too. But anyways, back to Oblivion. It's nice. They've really I don't know what they've done to like upscale the audio but like hearing Patrick Stewart do the like intro and like settle you into the adventure and stuff, like that man, it just you're just like, ah, a true adventure game. I, I miss these games, you know. And then next thing, you know, you're out of the prison and you're out into the wilds and there's one quest over there, every elder scrolls game.

Speaker 1:

But like all these, like great adventure games all start with you being incarcerated yeah, it's like a theme and you know, you know you just get sidetracked.

Speaker 3:

There's so much to do. The old school mechanics of Oblivion were the best. You know like how. It was simple, not overly like skill tree out the wazoo, it was just. You want to get good with swords, swing a sword a lot you want to get good at jumping.

Speaker 1:

Jump a lot you want to get good at jumping Jump a lot, you want to get good at walking.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, just keep on walking.

Speaker 1:

Keep on walking, or like we watched Jeff play earlier you want to get good at beating people up? Just keep punching them.

Speaker 3:

Punch the crap out of them, but the graphics, amazing. Uptick on the graphics. I don't remember if Oblivion had a daily cycle. At least it wasn't as prominent as this is, and I feel like there's a weather system as well in this, as well, I don't think it was the same as it was in Skyrim. Yeah, because man night and Oblivion Morrowind was really weird like fantasy level Oblivion. That was like a nice blend.

Speaker 1:

And there's people still playing.

Speaker 3:

Morrowind yeah, skyrim was like barely fantasy compared to Oblivion and Morrowind. Yeah, it was a different kind of tone. Much more grounded kind of game. But you know, and then again it was like the best RPG of all time. With the title oh Dovahkiin it's also interesting too to see kind of like the ground layers of Skyrim in Oblivion you can see Skyrim in Oblivion.

Speaker 1:

I saw a short earlier where some guy like went to like some part of the map and it's like, if you look this way, this is technically where Skyrim is and that's Highrothgar.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and they like the fact that they planned all that out to that point and they'll show the dragon symbol from Skyrim and things like that are pertaining to the Nord people and I don't know if that's from the remastered version or the original version, but it's pretty cool. It's that well thought out.

Speaker 1:

I think even the Blade's helmet has the dragon thing on it oh yeah, the symbol.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I also remember the legendary gear in Oblivion was really worth it. It felt much more I don't know like an accomplishment to have than anything in Skyrim when you get that stuff.

Speaker 1:

When Oblivion came out, I played maybe two hours of it. A friend of mine had it and I didn't get into it. It was kind of lost on me because I was a little young for it. When Skyrim came out and I started playing it, I was like 18, or I was 19 years old man.

Speaker 3:

I graduated high school when Oblivion came out 2011.

Speaker 2:

I was already graduated.

Speaker 3:

I remember graduating high school and playing Oblivion. I was a freshman in college.

Speaker 2:

My brother was a year away from graduating my little brother, little brother, you're such a little guy, tom, you're so young.

Speaker 1:

Another. According to that guy at the show, I'm old he thought you were older than us. I look 4,000 years old apparently.

Speaker 2:

Really he didn't think you were that old. He thought you were like 30.

Speaker 3:

I'll take it. I told Mitch after he left.

Speaker 1:

I was like we just met older Hayden. That's who that was. And I was like Hayden, has a time machine in your late 50s.

Speaker 3:

Stick with it, guys.

Speaker 1:

You can do it In 20 years he'll have a time machine and he'll come back and just to hassle me.

Speaker 2:

Well, because he was wearing like an event shirt, but Castle me Well, because he was wearing like an event shirt. But then he went and changed into Spider-Man and then he just hung around us just making fun of Tom the whole time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he was supposed to be like working, but he just spent like the whole time. Just givety crap talking to Mitch, talking to us and giving me the business.

Speaker 3:

He's my new favorite fan. I remember that guy's name. What was his name?

Speaker 1:

Was it Chris Sure?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, don't remember. I don't remember his name. Hey, if you're listening.

Speaker 2:

Sorry.

Speaker 3:

Reach out on social media and tell us.

Speaker 1:

Tell us who you are, we'll get it right. Who are?

Speaker 2:

you future, Hayden. But another game that we and you have talked about before is the Ready to Not.

Speaker 1:

Ready or Not Ready?

Speaker 2:

to Not Ready or Not comes out this summer. Ready or Not. Ready or Not comes out this summer.

Speaker 3:

On.

Speaker 2:

Game.

Speaker 1:

Pass yeah, on console. It's been on Steam for years. What do you guys?

Speaker 3:

think about the finals, because that's on Game Pass. I haven't played that I played a little bit of it. I streamed it with my crappy internet but, glitches aside, it was actually pretty good.

Speaker 2:

Is it like Futuristic Base Extraction Shooter? Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's a lot of pinging and marking and stuff. But like the the gunplay felt pretty smooth okay. So oh, have you guys seen marathon?

Speaker 3:

no, that's like the destiny version or something, or something so marathon was made by bungie before halo it was a dos game like, maybe just like the shortly after DOS era, and then Halo and the rest is history with Bungie. So they're going back to their roots with Marathon and you're basically robots, I think, and you're in a PvP setting. But it's no. I think it's an extraction shooter too, and you just go in and there's only like two or three other teams. You can avoid each other entirely or you can complete objectives and kill the enemy and whatever, and you know get loot and then come out and do it all over again. But the graphics seem really smooth. It has that like kind of old school Halo feel where it's very like axis linear on how you shoot. It's not like Call of Duty where you're just guns or just never hold still the entire time.

Speaker 3:

It's very straight plane yes. So you know, like if the crosshair is there, your bullet's going to go there, so I could take it. I don't know if you guys get into it.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, I hadn't played that one. I watched a little bit on Reddit, or not. I watched a little bit on Reddit, or not, it's not out yet, but it looks interesting. I mean it looks like it's fun, because you actually have to like, you know hey, put your hands up or you know, actually handcuff the people you can like, give verbal commands.

Speaker 1:

You have to secure evidence. Secure weapons yeah, I watched it. You can talk people. And then there's like stuff where it's like people like you think? A like a citizen, yeah, and then they pull a gun on you.

Speaker 3:

Uh, I watched a guy last year play it had it on pc and, like you, set your squad, like you hire people and but sometimes like it's kind of like running a business, to like do swat extractions and stuff, but like uh, if you're, if you, if your people die a lot, it's tougher to find work because, you're a crappy leader and you know if you overwork people they'll become stressed and they'll make dumb decisions and stuff.

Speaker 1:

They'll shoot you because, like there's a I've, I have it on steam. I've played it a good bit and I've watched a lot of people play and knowing what we know. It's like, oh like, there's like one where it's just basically this huge drug house. It's a massive apartment there's, there's like Heidi holes into each room and drop a bomb on it. Yeah, it's like nuke it from orbit.

Speaker 1:

That's the plan. But you got to go in and everyone's pretty much hostile, like literally everyone. And like as soon as I started like I you know, did like the camera thing under the door, nobody you could see it's. Square up my plates on the door, step in, go to the unknown and there's just a dude with a shotgun who just blows my brains out. As I'm turning, I see him in my peripheral. I was like, ah, I'm trying to whip him at my mouse, he just goes and I died.

Speaker 3:

I was like this is stupid. You get points like more money to buy better equipment, depending on how you do it. If you can do it with non-lethals and never kill anybody, you're going to get a ton of money that you can do whatever you want with.

Speaker 1:

I've seen Aculite and them play it.

Speaker 2:

They were drawn penises on the back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're like a sand table, because there's like the trail, like left-eyed as you draw it and like stone, and then like him and Tom McGrath would just start drawing dicks on them.

Speaker 2:

Well, what was funny was like one of them was trying to talk and the other three are literally drawing two circles in a long oblong.

Speaker 3:

When I was a team leader in the Army, I had to do a lane and I had to do a sand table portion and it was like this long lane where I had two portions of my team. So I drew a circle on the bottom right and drew a circle on the bottom left and I was like all right, we're going to travel up this shaft of the lane and I positioned people and stuff and they're like ugh. They totally knew. But man, because I associated with the penis they like flawless the entire time.

Speaker 1:

Flawless execution they impregnated the target.

Speaker 2:

Because it's something you can watch. I want to say it was either England or Germany or something. There's a new sport sperm racing.

Speaker 3:

I saw that what.

Speaker 2:

Basically, they took two syringes, put them at each side and threw a microscope. They're watching to see whose reaches the end.

Speaker 3:

first the one video I watched this. Dude's swimmers were like not intelligent, but the other ones. They just hit the wall.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, this one guy was like just straight down, he took off and people were holding money.

Speaker 2:

He's like, ah yeah, they were bent on it.

Speaker 1:

There were some. One is like this guy wakes up and it's like the German pretzel cutting Olympics and they have two scales. You gotta cut the pretzel in half perfectly and they weigh it to see how good it was and it was like 49, 49. And everyone's like losing it.

Speaker 3:

And I was like what is this? You've seen the one where it's like John Wick, like you know, level.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, they put a gun in the middle.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the two dudes fight for the gun, and then whoever can grab it and shoot the guy first. So it's sim rounds.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sim rounds. But yeah, they're both in suits and they just start fighting to see who can get the gun first.

Speaker 3:

We need a new sport man People are struggling nowadays.

Speaker 1:

What's an everyman sport? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Something where you can just sit and throw something. Where you don't need real athletes. Yeah, that's where they got cornhole.

Speaker 3:

Cornhole, hey cornhole.

Speaker 1:

The movie I should have made you watch that. Yeah, change my punishment. Let me watch Cornhole, the movie no you're playing amnesia.

Speaker 2:

One other thing that we should play or watch is Phasmophobia. Remember we.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's on. Game Pass now.

Speaker 2:

It is. Oh, that's what Tom should have played.

Speaker 3:

Well, amnesia is going to do fine. You need to record yourself while you're playing it. We're all just trying to recapture the moment of me playing Grounded Shrinking or something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, grounded, it was grounded, grounded with the spider and pitch darkness, because I don't think you were on.

Speaker 2:

No, yeah, it was just me and Hayden.

Speaker 1:

But Hayden still talks about it because of how high pitch my screen was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, of how high-pitched my scream was. Yeah, I just heard, ah, like I, literally, because it goes like on like the cusp of pure darkness. And I turned and just silhouetted in front of me is a gigantic spider and all I see is red eight eyes and the mandibles go like on my giant television, like I'm sitting, like I'm sitting three feet from a 75-inch TV and just hear the spider scream. I was like, ah, I tried to swing at the spider and slap it.

Speaker 3:

I swear I had a heart attack. I just heard screams and muffled noise and silence. Once he got back on, I was like did you die?

Speaker 1:

I was like, yeah, it was a spider.

Speaker 2:

I don't think Tom's seen it, but what's fun about Phasmophobia, which supposedly it came out in October, so it's on Game Pass, but is basically your wannabe Sam and Dean going in to like find out why this house is haunted?

Speaker 2:

Ghost facers, you got to figure out the clues. You don't fight them, but you got to figure out the clues to exorcise the monster or the ghost out of the place. Yeah Well, when you die, there's no, it just you don't know, like if the person's like scared, they're like ah, and it just cuts off and you can't hear that person once they Mitch. Mitch is dead, but I mean, there's one creepy little doll-looking girl that follows you around. Another one's this giant witch lady that's stalking through the hallway and stuff.

Speaker 3:

It seems like a fun game to play as a group.

Speaker 2:

Because each group has, like you're, the one with the EMF detector.

Speaker 1:

You're the one with like See what I don't get is like why don't you just light the house on fire Because you want?

Speaker 3:

to save the house Tad.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, people live there. I'm not paying you for it.

Speaker 3:

People live there yeah.

Speaker 2:

Why, why, why would you not leave?

Speaker 1:

It's like the we're doing it for money. Is it the haunting, the conjuring?

Speaker 2:

The conjuring. It's like I would have left and torched that the haunting is attached to the people now, not the place Doesn't matter, whatever it does not matter.

Speaker 3:

That's just an excuse to keep the movies going.

Speaker 1:

That I'm leaving and coming back with a flamethrower. All right With holy napalm.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, Phasmophobia is something I think would be fun, not to play all the time, but just to try out.

Speaker 3:

We should get it on and do a little Twitch thing or something, or something.

Speaker 2:

Or something. Or something.

Speaker 3:

It would be fun, just get Tom screaming like a girl in front of an eye, I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1:

I'd probably jump and scream too, yeah, I did like how in Grounded they had like an arachnophobia meter and you could basically turn it down, so it was literally just two balls. It was like one small one for a head and one was the body and that was it. It was like bright purple.

Speaker 3:

It still made you scream. No, it was still like ugh.

Speaker 2:

Because, I knew what was in my mind yeah, that's our Ninja Turtles and everything else episode.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, something.

Speaker 1:

Turtles and things.

Speaker 3:

Good job, guys.

Speaker 2:

We recorded four things today, yeah and just a thing All you people that listened are probably going. Why do we listen to these people now?

Speaker 3:

Don't worry.

Speaker 2:

It gets better when we're not exhausted.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I think we did pretty good.

Speaker 2:

Well, it was still funny, especially the Minecraft. Yeah, trying to stumble through that trivia.

Speaker 1:

Oh hey, it's just like yelling the answers at us. And so all you had to do is just repeat it back faster. I'll give you a hint, it's golden apple.

Speaker 3:

Golden apple, yes.

Speaker 2:

Tom Point, All right well.

Speaker 1:

So did we all get punished? Nope, nope, just me and you, yep. Oh, how the turntables, don't worry. Now that I know oh how the thick plot, now that I know that we're doing trivia again.

Speaker 2:

It ends up in punishments, I guess randomly this time.

Speaker 1:

No, we haven't done it.

Speaker 2:

We got steaks, Steaks. Well, last time we did trivia y'all were like no, I don't want to do punishments, who gets to pick next? But I see how it is. I see how it is Steaks, steaks Food.

Speaker 1:

But that was it for this episode of Entertain this. My name is Tom, I'm Hayden, I'm Mitch and we'll see you on the next one.

Speaker 3:

Goodbye, your Honor. I object Erroneous.

Speaker 1:

Get out of my house, oh Hayden, oh my God.

Speaker 3:

Oh, Andy.
