This week on End Credits, we have Turtle Power! As we enter the proverbial late summer doldrums at the box office, we look for some gold in the form of the new animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. And since summer's best days are behind us, we will peel back the layers and determine what was the best, and yes, what was the worst.
This Wednesday, August 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
Summer's End. Okay, so it's not technically the end of summer, but then again, September 20 is technically the real last day of summer. Anyway, since we're going on vacation for the next few weeks, we're going to close the book on Summer Movies from 2023 a bit early by giving out the awards: What was the best movie? What movie did the most damage to its franchise? And which Part One had us the most excited about Part Two? Let's find out!
REVIEW: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023). In the 1980s, two indie comic book artists turned a spoof about the growing trend of ultra-violent comics into the basis of a multi-million dollar marketing empire directed mostly at kids. Over six movies and three decades later, the Ninja Turtles are still teens, and they're still chasing that cheese (pizza) now with a new animated movie from producer Seth Rogen. He's enjoyed a lot of success with comic book material lately (Prime's The Boys for example), so can he bring the Turtles back to prominence?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
*Programming Note: End Credits will be taking the next two weeks off. Repeat episodes will air in the usual Wednesday afternoon time slot with new episodes returning on Wednesday August 30.
