Too Mask Too Furious

Happy month of Halloween! This week Jake and Sky take a break from the normal format and watch a two part episode from a very successful tv show. We watch Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask II parts 1 and 2. The show may have been a success, but the quality is somewhat lacking... Anywho, we discuss how 13 year olds are sociopaths, how R.L. Stein is a super nice guy, and we yearn for that elusive town where everyone goes nuts for Halloween. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

Bonus Episode: King Rick

In this extra episode we talk to Rick Orner. Rick worked on the set of Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation and has lots of stories for us. It was great having him on!

26 Exit the Dragon

Guys. We did it. We made it through this self imposed burden. We did it together. This week we watch the final episode of Ninja Turtles The Next Mutation episode 26: Who Needs Her. As the name implies, the other turtles are super sh**ty to Venus. We learn that a good tablecloth is all you need to kill a spell, we see how much Bonesteel there was in this series, Jake can't stop fingering his microphone cord, Sky struggles to edit around that, and Venus absolutely cements her title of Most Capable Turtle. Thanks so much for listening to us as we struggled to figure out this whole "podcasting" thing. We have a bunch of plans so please stick with us!

25 The Steel Bone Zone Dome

We move into the homestretch of the series with Unchain my Heart Part 4 of Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation. Vam-Mi is about out of time and desperate to find her heart. We discuss the incredible "Willie Whip" from WMAC: Masters, Donetello makes some equipment that makes sense based on the task at hand, the vampires suck at being vampires, and we discuss the endless possibilities as to how this episode could've been awesome. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.comShow: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

24 Form of Couch! Shape of Hunter!

This week we watch Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation episode 24, Unchain My Heart part 3. The excitement of how good part one was is very much over. We try to figure out the value of sunscreen to a vampire, learn that "war fireworks" are a thing, Leonardo perfects his stalker skills, and Venus is as done with the other turtles as we are. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.comShow: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

23 A Vampire's Capri Sun

This week our intrepid heroes watch episode 23 of Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation: Unchain My Heart part 2. It was a very middle of a 4 part story episode. We wonder if drinking too much blood really can get you drunk, the boy turtles have no respect for Venus, and we learn that Bonesteel is a f**king vampire slayer?! http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

22 Toni Braxton Title

This week Jake and Sky watch Episode 22 of Ninja Turtles Next Mutation: Unchain My Heart part 1! There are new villains like vampires and old villains like nets! We...actually kinda liked this one? We discuss the logistics of vampire life, We accidentally say the same thing at the same time twice, and we find out how shockingly ridged the turtles lives are. (We know the Toni Braxton song is "Unbreak My Heart" but switch the words and you don't really miss a beat) http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

21 Sorry For The Clipshow

Jake and Sky watch the Episode 21 "Like Brothers" It was a clip show. We honestly didn't really know how to talk about this one, so it's a little bit short. We discuss the hit 90's TGIF show Family Matters, how Venus should kill the rest of the turtles and take over the show, and how there really are other stories to tell with Raph and Leo that don't involve them in direct conflict. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

20 Dr Cheese Leads Dr. Quease

This week we get another Quease episode! Jake and Sky sit down to watch Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation episode 20, the Guest. Once again Splinter unilaterally decides to bring home a house guest. In this episode we realize how little we know about how blind people live their lives, Dr. Quease shows off his sick bicycling skillz, and Raph has the perfect expression of annoyance ever puppeteered. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

19 Sweetie Pie Dragon

This week Jake and Sky are joined by their first lady guest Amy! We watch Ninja Turtles Next Mutation episode 19: The Good Dragon. It was a weird one from the jump. We discuss how the turtles still ignore what Venus has to say, how Raph is basically a frat boy douche, and I had to cut like 15 minutes of lemonade talk. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus Amy: @amyalessandri https://www.instagram.com/neonstar84/?hl=en
