Surprise! Today, Dagan and I (Colin) gather for the first time in nearly a year for a brand new episode of KnockBack, this one dedicated to the 1990 live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. There's no doubt that TMNT is still relevant and present today, but decades ago, it was at its cultural zenith on the back of a humble series of graphic novels, a smash-hit cartoon series, and one of the most famous toy lines of all-time. The TMNT movie really had no right to be good, and yet, it's somehow great. And we're eager to talk about it. So come join us in the sewers for a little ninjitsu in New York City, won't you?

Ser Tillemans

Missed you Dagster! Hope everything is well!

This is awesome. I worked with a grip who worked on this movie and he said Central Park in the 80s was wild.

Funny enough, I think Knockback is the show that led me to last stand media back in the day. Great to see more episodes coming out!

I laughed so much at this episode. TMNT 1990 is pretty much a perfect comic book movie. It is so ridiculous but has its serious moments. Waiting for the pizza scene is probably my favorite along with the Splinter/Shredder backstory. Shredder really got that rat by slicing off just the tip of his ear.

EmpireOfDreams

Oh man :) I miss Dagan so much. This makes my week. I hope more is coming

GeGeNoodles1

Can we get Dagan talking about Usagi Yojimbo

DIS-Bee

Love this show, so glad it's back.

Cousin Kenny

Playmates has had the TMNT license for almost 40 years. It’s been their flagship for decades, across each iteration. They’re losing it this year, and Mattel (he-man) is taking over. It’s a pretty unique property though, where there’s multiple iterations of beloved & successful TMNT. Playmates has had pretty successful lines for every version, except the live action stuff. NECA has some excellent figures from the live action movies over the last 10 years tho.

CriiWolf

Holy shit! How did I miss this!? I Will listen during my shift tonight. Always nice to hear from the Dagster!

Taylor kazemba

I saw this in the theater. I was 6. Vividly remember the movie.

I'm not that Guy

So happy to see Dagan back. He was a big part of why originally signed up. Look forward to listening to this. I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid. Loved it at the time but haven't seen it in over 30 years.

Beaver diva

Oh man that nostalgic stomach punch really got me listening to this, truly truly peak turtles

Russ Loffland

Love hearing Knockback and Dagan again! And with my childhood favorite, TMNT! What a lovely surprise.

John

It was so nice to hear Dagan again!

Stephen

Thank you! So happy to get more Knockback!

Darren Mifsud

It's funny that you mention Splinter strung up on the fence like Christ. Splinter actually says, while hung up, "All Father's care for their Sons" Could be a coincidence.

Darren Mifsud

Since you guys were talking about the comics and the red bandanas, I thought I would mention the 2011 IDW Turtles comics. Eastman brought the comics back in 2011, incorporating many elements of the turtles lore across different medias. Awesome series, one thing I loved is that the comic starts with Raph missing. The remaining 3 Turtles wear red bandanas in honor of Raph until they find him and return to their colored headbands.

I’m going to watch the TMNT movie this weekend with my 9 year old daughter and I’m excited to see what she thinks!! I got all the TMNT magic cards that came out and she’s now curious about TMNT and of course this movie is the only proper way to introduce her to the turtles haha

Big Devin Energy

Colin and Dagan - I know you guys played the TMNT NES game and I was always sure that splinter hanging there was a reference to how he’s strung up in the second part of the NES game where you have to go rescue him and he’s strung up on a pole crucifix style.

Big Devin Energy

“Cricket?!?! You gotta know what a crumpet is to know what cricket is!” Lol

Big Devin Energy

Dude I’m doing dishes while my baby is asleep and Dagan comes out with “couldn’t splinter be a little person or like a full fledged person in a suit?” And I just died nothing worse than bursting out belly laughing but having to stay quiet and your wife giving you the eyes hahaha

Markeus

Take my money. With knockback , back knocking I am beyond excited.
