Christmas Special: We Wish You A Turtle Christmas (1994)
It's that special time of year again! Time for us to give and you to receive! Last Christmas we talked about the weirdo tokusatsu shows Greenman and Redman, and foolishly promised to talk about Godman and (more?) Redman this year. Turns out, Godman's hard to find! Where is he... has he left us? Anyways so we're talking about this Ninja Turtles musical christmas special that's made us laugh for literal years. There's no Bebop and no Rocksteady but there IS a pizza with pepperoni in this very special episode of Discuss All Monsters!
