#023: Sky Turtles (S03E05 1989)

TMNT Shellcast takes wing with "Sky Turtles" from season 3 episode 5 of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. In this episode, the Turtles and Splinter find themselves floating due to a gravity-altering device invented by Krang and used by Shredder to gain control over New York City. The Turtles navigate anti- and hyper-gravity challenges, outsmart Bebop & Rocksteady, overcome Shredder's evil plan and ultimately restore normalcy to the city.

Andrew still can't find anchovies for his Pizza Time! punishment (00:02:42) but makes due with tuna fish and blue cheese before Chris and Jon join in to debate the Mount Rushmore of Conquerors (00:14:31). Turtle Tech returns with a musical twist (00:36:42) and Andrew surprises the guys with a Show & Tell (00:56:29). Michelangelo drops another cowabunga (01:10:43), prompting Jon to give an update to the Shellcast Sportsbook (01:30:23).

Chris loses the TikTok Poll (01:46:20) sending him to the Pizza Time! wheel spinoff (01:46:04).
