    Nov 20 2025
    Kevin moved to L.A., launched a publishing empire, and tried to change the comics industry. Peter stayed in Massachusetts, kept the brand on track, and quietly built a nonprofit. One went big. One played it safe. While the Turtles were turning into video games, musicals, and action figures with pizza-shooting vehicles… their creators were turning into total strangers.

    The first movie crushed it. So naturally, the sequel had… less fighting, no weapons, and a dance battle with Vanilla Ice. Welcome to the 1990s, where the Turtles go from gritty rebels to full-blown pop stars. As the franchise gets safer, sillier, and way more marketable, Kevin and Peter find themselves on opposite sides of what their creation is becoming and wondering if the monster they built is still theirs.

    05. First Movie. Last Straw.
    Nov 6 2025
    Before it became a box office smash, the first Ninja Turtles movie was a giant red flag. Studios passed. Toy execs panicked. No one knew if guys in rubber suits could carry a film or if anyone would show up to watch. But Kevin and Peter pushed forward, determined to make something darker, weirder, and truer to the original comic. This is the story of how a movie everyone expected to fail… didn’t.

    One minute the Turtles were gritty, underground comic book vigilantes. The next, they were shouting Cowabunga and riding filing cabinets like surfboards. As a toy company races to turn them into kid-friendly icons, Kevin and Peter watch their creation mutate into something they barely recognize. The show is loud, colorful, wildly successful - and for the guys who started it all, kind of a gut punch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    01. The Origin Story’s Origin Story
    Oct 9 2025
    Before the cartoons, the toys, and the catchphrases, it started with a single sketch—just one dumb joke to make a friend laugh. Kevin Eastman drew a turtle with nunchucks. Peter Laird added a mask and attitude. Back and forth they went, one-upping each other until a bizarre, brilliant idea took shape. This is the story of that night, that drawing, and how two broke artists turned nothing into something legendary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
