Cowabunga!
Remember when Mom would say, "Stop playing with those damn turtle action figures, get out of the house and go play outside!?"
Boy times have changed...
Since we cannot play outside we decided to get together with our fellow podcasters and listeners, our friends, and watch 1990s classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles online with the Netflix Party Extension.
So grab that facemask, wash those hands and join us during the quarantine.
Big thanks to Freddy and Greg from MISCAST for joining!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In New York, mysterious radioactive ooze has mutated four sewer turtles into talking, upright-walking, crime-fighting ninjas. The intrepid heroes -- Michelangelo (Robbie Rist), Donatello (Corey Feldman), Raphael (Josh Pais) and Leonardo (Brian Tochi) -- are trained in the Ninjutsu arts by their rat sensei, Splinter. When a villainous rogue ninja, who is a former pupil of Splinter, arrives and spreads lawlessness throughout the city, it's up to the plucky turtles to stop him.

Stuck at home hiding from the Corona Virus? Watch some TV. Can't afford cable because you lost your job? Read a book. Suffering from illiteracy? Play with your kids. Hate your family? Well, there is always the Simplistic Reviews Podcast. This month the boys try to socially distance themselves from Harvey Weinstein, Kid Rock, Judith Light, Buzz Lightyear and even the wonderful world of Disney.

As the month of love and black history comes to a close, the Simplistic Reviews podcast does their best to hate on the concept of love and misremember pretty much all of black history. The boys tackle everything from Batman, to Bond songs, to Rick Moranis. They also introduce a new “Where Are They Now?” styled segment we’re calling What Happened. All that, a brief phone call to Michael Fassbender, a cameo from Walter Vinci from the First Time Watchers Podcast, a Terry Funk For President ad campaign and a pretty long and slightly unintentional plug for the app Cameo on this February episode of the Simplistic Reviews podcast
