#B01: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

In this bonus episode, TMNT Shellcast goes ham with its recap of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie!

In the movie, fifteen years after a mutagenic explosion that killed rogue scientist Baxter Stockman, the mutant turtle brothers, raised by their rat father Splinter, yearn for normalcy. They accidentally reveal themselves to aspiring journalist April O'Neil during a fight against criminals. As they join forces to stop a mutant gang led by Superfly, who plans to use Stockman's mutagen to dominate the planet, the turtles and other mutants eventually thwart Superfly's scheme. After a public misunderstanding, they prove their good intentions, defeat Superfly, and gain acceptance from the city, leading to a celebratory reconciliation and the beginning of a new life as heroes.
