Cowabunga, dudes! In this episode of "Unspoken Issues," Jesse Starcher and Chris Armstrong rewind the clock to 1990 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie. Jesse and Chris not only revisit their first encounters with the movie but also explore how the film acted as a perfect fusion of Mirage's dark tone and the cartoon's vibrant energy.
But that's not all—they break down the official comic book adaptation from Mirage Studios, comparing it with the movie. From subtle script differences and added scenes to the surprisingly emotional depth of Raphael's inner monologue, you'll discover how the comic offers a faithful, yet expanded, version of the film. They also highlight the creative team behind the adaptation, including Eastman, Laird, and Lawson, and touch on some wild production facts, like deleted scenes and what should have been an after-credits moment.
