Matthew RosenbergGUEST
I hope, I hope, I hope rat aficionados would agree.
Pete LePageHOST
Are you keeping it just kind of like, or are you going like Krang, Rox, Eddie, Bebop? Like how deep are we getting into this?
Matthew RosenbergGUEST
Oh, we're getting deep.
Matthew RosenbergGUEST
It's a lot of villains.
Matthew RosenbergGUEST
There's some fan favorites.
Matthew RosenbergGUEST
We're trying to do it all.
Matthew RosenbergGUEST
I will say, because the solicit for the second issue is out, and you can see on the cover, Bebop and Rocksteady are on the cover of the second issue 26.
Justin TylerHOST
Promising sign.
Eric BauzaGUEST
I voiced Donatello.
Eric BauzaGUEST
And I voiced Master Splinter and an original character named Tigerclaw, which was basically like, you know, there was Bebop and Rocksteady who would always mess up for Shredder.
Eric BauzaGUEST
And then Tigerclaw was this Yakuza sniper and gangster.
Eric BauzaGUEST
No nonsense.
Eric BauzaGUEST
He was like the Moe.
Eric BauzaGUEST
If Bebop and Rocksteady were Larry and Curly, he was Moe.
Mike BoonHOST
Here's the question for you, Eric.
Mike BoonHOST
Did you ever own the Coming Out of Their Shells album that was distributed by Pizza Hut?
JoshHOST
You know what? I will give a...
JoshHOST
A very loose like to Bebop and Rocksteady, what Seamus and Gary Anthony Williams were doing.
JoshHOST
They were fine.
JoshHOST
I think I liked, like, their performances were okay.
TomHOST
I thought Crane looked good.
TomHOST
I think that it was pretty close to the cartoons from what I remember from the video games, honestly.
TomHOST
And I thought, honestly, I thought the Bebop and Rocksteady designs were fucking awesome.
TomHOST
Yeah, they were.
Riley HopkinsHOST
Leatherhead.
Riley HopkinsHOST
Zombie, Bebop, Irma, Finch, and Splinter.
Riley HopkinsHOST
Josh, under the sign of the turtle.
Riley HopkinsHOST
Casey Jones, Mondo Gecko, Trag, Tempestra, Big Slamu, Michelangelo, Grit, and Krang.
Jake MasonGUEST
Leo is.
Jake MasonGUEST
What's going on? We don't know what Leo is.
PetraGUEST
And to just have the two between Leo and Bebop felt so strange to me.
PetraGUEST
Well,
Mega Jay RetroGUEST
And if you head over to Hatter's Instagram, you actually see the posability and the versatility that the Hound has because we're actually interchanging him and comparing him to different characters.
Mega Jay RetroGUEST
And if you go back to the top, you can actually see him wearing Bebop's attire, which is hilarious.
Mega Jay RetroGUEST
If you scroll down.
Mega Jay RetroGUEST
Yeah, it's earlier.
Nick KirkHOST
in the original comics splinter's master yoshi is murdered by the ninja oro kusaki more commonly known as the shredder and he's the main antagonist in pretty much every version of tmnt that's out there as well as the turtles splinter and shredder that initial comic introduces a lot of elements that come into play in many other versions namely characters like the mad scientist Baxter Stockman, friend to the turtles April O'Neill, who is variously a reporter or scientist depending on whatever version you're in, and the hockey mask wearing vigilante Casey Jones.
Nick KirkHOST
Although perhaps surprisingly to those of you who grew up on the 1980s cartoon version, the original comic doesn't actually feature the alien Krang and his henchmen Bebop and Rocksteady.
Nick KirkHOST
Ah yes, I've mentioned it.
Nick KirkHOST
So, the 80s cartoon.
Nick KirkHOST
What the series did introduce was some characters that would go on to become enduring parts of the Turtles mythos, namely the aforementioned alien Krang, who is a sort of squiddy tentacly thing who sits in the stomach of a big robot body.
Nick KirkHOST
completely dissimilar to a Dalek, of course, in no way are they the same thing.
Nick KirkHOST
And his mutated animal henchmen, Bebop the Warthog and Rocksteady the Rhinoceros.
Nick KirkHOST
They have sort of moved back into the comics subsequently after that.
Will HinesHOST
And Martian Manhunter is... extremely unique and sort of individual take that would be it's not repetitive at all with these other three
Kevin HinesHOST
yeah stories so that'd be fun our first email today is from andrew napier who's written us some other emails he's catching up on our past episodes so he keeps sending us emails from the past uh and he writes dear bebop and sop steady or besop and sop steady read that Bebop and Rocksteady being turtle villains from the cartoon, Will? Yes, I remember.
Kevin HinesHOST
This one's actually more just for Kevin, I guess.
Kevin HinesHOST
Good choice.
Dan LarsonHOST
They did it.
Dan LarsonHOST
Like they made those, it's not Bebop and Rocksteady.
Dan LarsonHOST
Yeah.
Dan LarsonHOST
These are sort of new proprietary characters.

Jay GlatfelterHOST
My favorite, aka least favorite, wacky action features.
Jay GlatfelterHOST
But these, I think, are actually much better than the Turtles and the Shredder and the Splinter.
Jay GlatfelterHOST
Especially, I don't know, Headspinning Bebop.
Jay GlatfelterHOST
I've actually never owned either of these, but I've always appreciated the absurdity in the head sculpts of these.
Ben MeiselasHOST
And by the way, did you catch JD Vance behind him? [laughs] I mean, like, you know when you grew up and you watched, like, uh, like the sidekicks to, like, the bad guys in, uh...
Ben MeiselasHOST
Like, like who was the sidekicks, uh, to, you know, uh, to, like, Shredder in Ninja Turtles? What were those guys' names? Do you remember what their names were? Bebop.
Ben MeiselasHOST
Bebop and Rocksteady, right? [laughs] Right.
Ben MeiselasHOST
You got, you got freaking Shredder and Bebop and Rocksteady.
Ben MeiselasHOST
I Googled that.
Ben MeiselasHOST
I didn't know Bebop and Rocksteady.
Ben MeiselasHOST
And he's got the, the Foot Clan, an army of ninja foot soldiers that he commands in positions for tactical advantage that always get killed first.
Ben MeiselasHOST
There's Krang, an alien warlord.
Greg BennettHOST
Again, Jim Henson Company did a great job on the creature costumes for Toka and Reza.
Greg BennettHOST
I never understood why they never used Bebop and Rocksteady though.
Greg BennettHOST
But I think you mentioned Ross earlier that they might not have the rights to Bebop and Rocksteady.
RossGUEST
No, it turns out the comic creators, Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, there was something with the cartoons and they were like, nah.
Greg BennettHOST
Let's not.
55 MINS LATER
Greg BennettHOST
But that would be cool.
Greg BennettHOST
And you could probably put cameras inside the suits so you could see first-person views of them fighting and stuff.
RossGUEST
And hopefully they would have proper weapons fighting and they could bring in Bebop and Rocksteady
