Here is the audio from the live stream for episode 260 of Turtle Soup Podcast that was streamed 8/5/2021 at 8pm EST on Youtube. We reviewed the 1996 TMNT – OVA – Mutant Turtles: Superman Legend produced by Bee Media and Tsuburaya Productions and took a brief look at the corresponding soundtrack.

If this version of the TMNT seems familiar that’s because we’ve seen these designs before and discussed them at length in the following episodes of Turtle Soup Podcast:

  • Episode 240: It’s What’s Going On! – (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Playmates Super Mutants Cyclone Cycle and the Metal Mutant Cycle (1995))
  • Episode 238: Quagmire of Turpitude! – (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Playmates Metal Mutants Figures (1995))
  • Episode 237: For The Kill! – (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Playmates Super Mutant Turtles Figures (1995))
  • Episode 233: Dark Mu And The Double Down Dark Devil Daddy Shredder Sucker Bois! – (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles SUPER TURTLES Manga Vol 3. (1995))
  • Episode 232: Don’t Be A Perv In Splinter’s Body While Throwing Your Pizza At Blood! – (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles SUPER TURTLES Manga Vol 2. (1995))
  • Episode 231: Shredder’s New Groove! – (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles SUPER TURTLES Manga Vol 1. (1995))

Be sure to let us know you’re thoughts on the OVA/Soundtrack and the questions below!

  • Who had the coolest MUTATIONS: TMNT or the FOOT?

Episode 255: Old Melty Helmet and the Soggy Bread Boys!

Welcome to Episode 255 of Turtle Soup Podcast! On this episode we do our best to review the live action stage show titled TMNT Live Auckland, New Zealand 1990. This live show is a collaboration with a New Zealand children’s television programming block called EBS (Early Bird Special?) and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s an officially licensed program from Mirage Studios and was filmed in front of a live audience at the height of Turtle mania. It mashes up elements from the TMNT 1987 Animated Series and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 Movie Soundtrack with lots of dancing, puppets, and crowd participation!

The only real redeeming factor (and main reason for our coverage of this) is that this show features full on live action costumes for Bebop and Rocksteady! After being snubbed by the 90s live action Turtles movies, we felt like it was important enough to mention this brief live appearance of two of our favorite TMNT villains as to our knowledge, this is all they get for this time period of Ninja Turtle hype.

That being said, the actual stage show is very dark to presumably mask some of the costumes short comings. Which is a great idea for those in attendance but makes for an almost irritating TV viewing experience. Luckily, we braved through the almost hour long mire of puppets cracking jokes, children dancing, more puppets playing a strange song about a toxic relationship with a character called “Johnny Lee,” and a ballet that is an interpretive dance version of the 1990 TMNT movie soundtrack cut T.U.R.T.L.E. Power, all so you don’t have to.
