Tales of the TMNT Season 2!
The TV Dudes Podcast
We kick off the new year with a dive into Tales of the TMNT season 2! Surprise, we had an absolute blast with it! It's got great energy, awesome character work, and a deep love for the franchise. It feels confident, weird in the right ways, and creatively fearless in a way animated TMNT should be... Which makes Paramount+ canceling it even more frustrating because this season rules. #TalesOfTheTMNT #ParamountPlus *No diaries this week, because we pre-recorded before the holidays.
