Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 1992 Pt 1
Q: Did you watch the show religiously, or was it more something you saw on TV or on tape?
Quip says Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was his main cartoon and that he watched it regularly, often eating Ninja Turtles cereal and drinking the green milk.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 1992 Pt 1
Q: How did you get into Turtles?
Quip says the toys were his entry point. He remembers finding Michelangelo in the toy aisle, while his older brother chose Leonardo and Donatello, and later becoming a devoted fan of Donatello.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 1990
Q: How about the movie for you, Hatter? You see the flick when it originally hit theaters?
Mad Hatter saw it in Miami with his cousin and remembers it as a memorable theatrical experience. He says Casey Jones's arrival makes the film especially lively and that it still works as a movie for contemporary audiences.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 1990
Q: How long were Turtles for you originally? Did you go all the way to the bitter end, or did you kind of tail off somewhere in the mid-90s?
Mad Hatter says he stopped following the animated series around seasons three to five as movies and video games became bigger interests, though he continued buying toys when he could afford them.
Pirates of Dark Water: 1991
Q: Okay Kate, what do you think the figures cost originally in 1991?
Kate guessed 6.99, but Dan went with 5.99, and he won the round by nailing the exact price of the Wraith at 5.99, adjusted later for inflation.
