You remember those 90s movies where the main characters traveled to medieval times for no reason? That's this movie, but with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles time travelling to feudal Japan. Why? Who knows, but let's get into it!
On today's Keep or Cancel, we're talking about the careers of once-aspiring, and since very successful, comic book writer/artist duo Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird! Note: I mixed up Eastman for Laird for a lot of this episode. Apologies.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (2007) is available on HBO Max.
