Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) With Isaac Fisher (Definitive Film)

Play Comics

Cowabunga dudes! Grab your nunchucks and order a pizza because we’re diving shell-first into the radical world of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game! This gnarly beat ’em up brought the heroes in a half-shell to GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PS2, and Xbox faster than you can say “Turtle Power!”

Join us as we team up with Isaac Fisher from Definitive Film to dissect this game like Donatello dissects a circuit board. Isaac’s currently knee-deep in mutagen, working on a bodacious documentary called TMNT: Evolution, Mutation, & Reboot chronicling 40 years of TMNT history with the rest of the team at Definitive Film. So strap in, because this episode is gonna be more action-packed than a showdown with the Shredder in a pizza parlor!

Learn such things as:

• What can reboots do to breath new life into a franchise?
• How do Hollywood politics effect smaller projects?
• How do you balance playing time on a team like this?
• And so much more!

You can find Definitive Film on Twitter @definitive_film, Instagram @definitivefilm, or on Facebook @definitivefilm if you’re looking for a social media connection. Of course there’s also the main Definitive Film website and the Kickstarter campaign for TMNT: Evolution, Mutation, & Reboot.
