Join us as we dive into the surprisingly turbulent journey behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. We'll explore how Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg convinced Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon to take such a radical creative swing by focusing on the awkward yet hilarious experiences of being a teenager, and how what looked like a straightforward reboot turned into a complete reinvention of one of pop culture's most enduring franchises. Grab a slice, avoid the ooze, and join us as we...
