This month I head into the sewers to find out about all those Ninja Turtle video games! Take a look at how they got started by Konami, carried on over the years, were re-imagined along with new animated series, and how hopefully Paramount brings these games into the future. Plus, Michaela from Drink the Movies drops in to help with a cocktail to keep the turtles on track!
