This episode of Wise_N_Nerdy brings together fatherhood, fandom, and mental health as Charles and Joe are joined by special guest Todd Sarner, a licensed psychotherapist, parenting coach, and the founder of Transformative Parenting. Blending nerdy fun with meaningful conversation, this episode is a perfect example of how pop culture and real-life parenting lessons can coexist. The show kicks off with the Question of the Week: “If you could have any two IPs do a crossover, which two would you choose?” The conversation quickly spirals into delightful chaos as the hosts imagine dream mashups like Star Trek meeting The Lord of the Rings, Quantum Leap crossing paths with Doctor Who, and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles teaming up with Demon Slayer. It's imaginative, passionate, and exactly the kind of nerdy debate fans love. As tradition demands, the roll of the dice sends the crew straight into a round of truly unfunny bad dad jokes—the kind that hurt to hear and somehow hurt even more to tell. Groans are plentiful, dignity is lost, and the tone is perfectly set for what comes next. In the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, Todd shares his personal and professional journey into therapy, opening up about what led him to create Transformative Parenting and why helping families navigate emotional growth has become his life's work. It's a heartfelt look at how experience, empathy, and intention shape better parents and healthier kids. That naturally leads into the “How Do I…?” segment, where Charles, Joe, and Todd dig into the benefits of therapy—especially for children. They discuss breaking stigmas, building emotional tools early, and how therapy can be a proactive support rather than a last resort. It's an encouraging reminder for parents that seeking help is a strength, not a failure, and a powerful way to Find your FAMdom through support, connection, and understanding. The dice then decree it's time for the Parliament of Papas, featuring a legendary parenting tale of epic revenge. The hosts unpack a story where a father proves a point by allowing his kids to “loot” his brother's house—turning a teachable moment into a hilarious and unforgettable lesson about consequences. To close things out, the episode dives into “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe offers a balanced and thoughtful take on the newly released Hytale, highlighting both its strengths and noticeable flaws while expressing excitement for its future potential. Charles passionately rants and raves about Tron: Ares, while Todd nerds out over the growing power of AI as a transformative tool—and shares some personal joy by talking about his upcoming nuptials. It's an episode packed with laughs, insight, and heart—bringing together expert parenting wisdom and unapologetic fandom in a way only Wise_N_Nerdy can.

Layne and Jon are attacked by Mouser drones and Flyborgs in IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 48 from 2015!
If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the decade of the 1980s, then chances are you have fond memories walking up and down the isles of iconic toy stories, places KB Toys, Toys are Us, FAO Swartz. Their shelves were lined with toys that defined the years of our youth – Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the weeks after the Christmas Shopping Season, it's easy to reminisce about days past of wish lists and letters to Santa. What you may not realize is the connection of many of these childhood toys to one single man, not named Santa Claus. His impact and presence in our lives is as indisputable as it is unrecognized. Today we open a new chapter to the profile of an individual who played a key role in all of our childhoods and whose creative mind paved the way for toys invented well beyond his passing. Happy New Year everyone! It's the Missing Chapter Podcast. Want some Missing Chapter merchandise? Click HERE!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) was chosen by Patreon supporter Gareth, and it represents a very deliberate shift in tone and approach from the original 1990 film. Following the massive commercial success of the first movie, New Line Cinema moved quickly to produce a sequel that would appeal more directly to younger audiences. This resulted in a noticeably lighter, more comedic production, with strict limitations placed on violence and darker elements after parental groups raised concerns about the original film's intensity. Director Michael Pressman replaced Steve Barron, and the creative mandate was clear: brighter visuals, broader humor, and a more Saturday-morning-cartoon-friendly feel.The production once again relied on Jim Henson's Creature Shop to bring the Turtles to life, though the suits were redesigned to allow for improved mobility and clearer facial expressions. Filming took place primarily in North Carolina, with large soundstage work used to accommodate more elaborate set pieces and controlled environments. The movie also leaned heavily into merchandising synergy, closely aligning its release with toy lines, tie-in products, and promotional partnerships. While critically divisive upon release, The Secret of the Ooze was a significant box-office success and stands as a textbook example of early-90s franchise filmmaking — where commercial considerations, brand management, and audience accessibility increasingly shaped creative decisions.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryHeroes in a half-shell… are back — and this time, things are about to get oozy.The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return with bigger laughs, louder villains, and a mysterious new substance that could change everything. As old enemies resurface and new threats rise, the Turtles must band together, sharpen their skills, and fight to protect the city they call home.*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze* — powered up, totally radical, and ready to kick shell.Fun FactsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II was released at the peak of TMNT mania, when the franchise dominated cartoons, toys, comics, and fast-food promotions worldwide.The film introduced new Turtle allies and villains that were created specifically to expand the movie universe rather than directly adapt comic storylines.Vanilla Ice's song “Ninja Rap” was written exclusively for the movie and became a pop-culture time capsule of early-90s hip-hop crossover marketing.The movie was one of the highest-grossing independent films of 1991, despite receiving mixed critical reviews.Many of the film's stunt performers were professional martial artists, including members of the Hong Kong stunt community.The Turtles' signature weapons appear far less frequently than fans expected, becoming a frequent talking point among viewers.The Secret of the Ooze was heavily promoted through pizza-brand tie-ins, reinforcing the Turtles' long-standing connection to pizza culture.Over time, the film has become a nostalgia favorite for fans who grew up during the early 1990s TMNT boom, often remembered as the “most quotable” entry in the original trilogy.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback
The Rizzuto Show crew dives into some of the weirdest conspiracy theories people believe — from the Titanic being an insurance scam to Stevie Wonder “not actually being blind,” Avril Lavigne being replaced by a clone, Mattress Firm laundering money through identical strip malls, and Jay-Z possibly being a time-traveling vampire. None of it makes sense. All of it is discussed with confidence in this Rizz Show daily podcast. Then reality gets even stranger. A man discovers his massive beer belly is actually a 77-pound tumor, setting a medical record nobody asked for. Another wakes up from surgery, suddenly fluent in Spanish thanks to a rare neurological condition that sounds fake but is terrifyingly real. The crew debates whether your brain secretly stores everything you've ever experienced — which might explain why this daily podcast exists in the first place. Things escalate when a story about a family Uno game allegedly ends in a stabbing, proving once and for all that Draw Four cards should come with a warning label. Add in celebrity chaos, pop culture commentary, Disney movie trauma, moon hotels that shouldn't exist, and a sneak peek at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spinoff "Lazy Entitled Millennial Monkeys" — and you've got a daily podcast episode that covers more ground than it should and answers none of the questions it raises.

Update on our week: Andy talks about the Bears winning the NFC North and having their best year in a very long time. The guys discuss the coaching changes over the years and the great run they've had this year. For Christmas/NYE, Andy brings up liking to cook and eat Prime Rib, and talks about how many of our Hispanic family would consider it raw, despite Prime Rib being a meat that needs to be eaten less thoroughly cooked than other cuts. Daniel sheds light on a new documentary/film he watched, Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas, and discusses the premise being the birth of Jesus and its historical interpretations and different possibilities. Daniel's recent visit to White castle alarmed him at the higher price of a White Castle slider. A typical 10 sack meal with fries now reaches the $20 price point, leading all the guys to discuss how overinflated pricing has become. The guys unanimously agree that Die hard is a Christmas movie, and Daniel brings up how he watched it recently as his yearly tradition around the Christmas season. Noel recently bought and watched 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 4k via Arrow Video's physical release. He goes into detail on how this movie was a big part of his childhood and how much he was looking forward to seeing it restored and presented in 4k. Noel gives a gaming update and fills us in on his first playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Noel gives a shoutout to Bibibop, a Korean Food Chain that really wowed Noel in terms of quality and taste for the price. Its a more nutritious option and a step up from Panda Express or other Asian spots. Warning: May have Strong Language and Content. ========== Thank you to everyone who enjoys what we do.

Andrew's comics debutAndrew, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4 marks your comic-writing debut and kicks off a three-issue arc. What did it feel like to finally see your name on a TMNT comic page after working in animation for so long?2. Transition from screen to pageYou've worked as Script Coordinator and Script Manager on Mutant Mayhem and its sequel—what muscles did you have to retrain (or unlearn) when shifting from screenwriting to writing comics?3. Working with Louie JoyceCan you talk about collaborating with Louie Joyce on this arc? How did your scripts leave room for visual storytelling, especially with action and emotion?4. Fugitoid's debut in TalesThis arc introduces Fugitoid into the Tales of the TMNT universe. What made him the right character to bring into this specific corner of TMNT, and what excites you most about using him in this format?5. Anti-AI themes and “Chrome Alone 2”Andrew, you recently wrote the animated short Chrome Alone 2, which has a clear anti-AI message. Without getting into anything off-limits, how important is it for you to sneak big ideas and values into genre storytelling?6. Franchise stewardshipWhat's exciting about Tales of the TMNT specifically as a space for experimentation and tone shifts within the brand?7. Entry point for new readersFor readers who might be jumping into Tales of the TMNT for the first time, what do you think makes this arc—between your voice, Louie's art, and Fugitoid's arrival—a great onboarding point?8.

Written by Godzilla Kei-Sei Scribe Tim Seeley and illustrated by the brilliant Turtle artist behind the Nightwatcher series, as well as the Stranger Things/TMNT crossover, Fero Pe, this new series finally brings two of our favorite franchises together. How can this reptilian miracle be? Long before the organization was corrupted by Shredder, the Foot Clan's original purpose was to save Japan from Kaiju! Now, in the present day, Godzilla and its fellow monsters have reappeared. Not only is the Foot not prepared to stop them…it would seem Shredder himself is behind the attacks! The Turtles are always crossing over into rad nerd realms, but this one might be the king crossover of them all.

SUMMARY In this conversation, Matt Sheridan shares his journey through martial arts, starting from his childhood influences like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Shaolin monks, to his experiences in Taekwondo and Karate. He discusses the challenges he faced, including financial constraints and personal struggles, as well as his commitment to maintaining integrity and high standards in martial arts training. The conversation also touches on the importance of myth-busting within the martial arts community and the evolution of his training philosophy over the years. He also shares his experiences and insights regarding the politics of martial arts ranks, the myths surrounding belt systems, and the cultural nuances of titles. He discusses the evolution of martial arts uniforms, the impact of cognitive dissonance within the community, and the importance of motivation in training. Matt emphasizes the need for integrity and personal connection in martial arts, while also advocating for a reimagined rank system that prioritizes personal growth over titles. Matt and Jeremy Lesniak also delve into the complexities of rank and titles in martial arts, discussing the impact of ego, the importance of accountability, and the need for continuous training and learning. They explore innovative approaches to martial arts belts and emphasize the significance of intent and humility in practices. The dialogue culminates in a call for high standards and good choices within the martial arts community, highlighting the balance between training and discussion. TAKEAWAYS Matt's early influences in martial arts were shaped by pop culture. He emphasizes the importance of integrity in martial arts training. Matt believes in maintaining high standards for rank and training. He has a strong interest in the history and lineage of martial arts. He actively engages in myth-busting within the martial arts community. Matt's journey reflects a deep passion for martial arts and personal growth. The black belt was introduced before the white belt. Cognitive dissonance leads to backlash in the martial arts community. Titles and ranks can negatively impact identity and respect. Motivation should come from personal connection, not just belts. The original belt system was much simpler than today's. Cultural nuances in titles are often misunderstood in the West. The rank system in karate maxed out at fifth dan before 1945. Ego in martial arts can be mitigated by removing unnecessary ranks and titles. Training should be prioritized over rank and titles. Instructors must continue their own training to effectively teach students. Discussion outside the dojo is essential for cultural growth in martial arts. Intent behind actions in martial arts practices is vital for humility. The best martial artists are those who remain students at heart. High standards and good choices should guide the martial arts community. This episode is sponsored by Kataaro.

Friends, let's celebrate. We've made it through another year, and no matter how you felt about the world outside your local comic book shop, you certainly read some great comics. Welcome to our annual award show, The Stampies: Best Comics of 2025. Part One. Every year is a good year for comics. You just have to go out and read them. That's the secret. We try not to imprison ourselves with characters, genres, publishers, or even our preferred tastes. As long as you're only interested in good comics, you'll find them if you read enough, and the brilliant thing about 2025 is that we read a lot, and found so many great comics, but we still didn't read enough to read all the great comics. Thankfully, we sent out the Comic Book Couples Counseling distress call, and a bunch of our friends from across the industry answered. Peppered throughout our Stampies ceremony are our podcaster, journalist, publicist, and creator friends, each offering their favorite comics from 2025. See a list of them below, and make sure you support their work and follow them on socials. As we do every year, we select our favorite comics and then create the Stampies around them. This two-part episode reflects our weird, collective tastes as a couple. Listeners will recognize several of the titles, but hopefully, we've thrown in several surprises, too. You can also find the award categories and (SPOILERS) winners below, listed alongside their timestamps in case you want to hop around or revisit later. For the first time ever, we've created physical Stampy Awards to be delivered to the creators. We're only able to do this thanks to our new sponsor, Global Comix. The all-in-one digital comics platform is currently offfering a great comics bundle when you sign up for their Global Comix Gold program.

In Part 2 of his annual Holiday Gift Guide, Dennis talks to creative entrepreneurs Scott Willams and Cam Clarke. Scott discovered a passion for ceramics during the pandemic and has since launched a side business called SEW Ceramics, based in Cambria, California. His Strata line of clay lamps are his most popular items to date. Each is one-of-a-kind because, as Scott quips, "I couldn't duplicate them if I tried." Scott talks about how getting his hands dirty has served as an escape from the stresses of modern life, the crafty grandmother who inspired his artistic side and how he comes up with cool names for his lamps, like Astra, Flint and Lumen. https://www.sewceramics.com/ Next up is Cam Clarke, the man behind the gorgeous new coffee table book Now They're All Here about The King Family of entertainers, which Cam is a member of. Cam reveals the slightly petty reason he took on the project, the discoveries he made along the way and what having the family's life and career documented in this way has meant to his relatives. He also talks about his career as a performer and voice-over artist (he was the OG voice of Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!) and recalls the moment when he was 6 years-old and demonstrated a flair for the fabulous on live TV. https://camclarke.com/
With the release of Absolute Batman #15 and the big reveal of Absolute Joker, we're excited to welcome artist Jockonto the show for the first time. We would consider this comic an event even without the gnarly origin story at its center. This is also a big reunion for the artist and his writer collaborator, Scott Snyder. They've been delivering killer Batman comics since The Black Mirror, and have already re-invented the Joker concept in The Batman Who Laughs. However, the Absolute Universe allows them to swing for the fences in a way that the main continuity never could. And, as you'll hear, this required a little recalibration from Jock. Thankfully, Jock grew up consuming some of the most radical comics on the planet, 2000 AD. These Mega-City One stories, often featuring the iconic Judge Dredd, shaped Jock's imagination and taught him the unique power of a visual narrative. They also revealed why we must never be too enamored of the characters and stories we adore. Conformity is abhorrent. Toys are meant to be broken because that's the direct result of good, continuous, serious play. If you keep them precious on the shelf, they get dusty and stiff. To understand characters like Batman and Judge Dredd, we must constantly redefine them, whittling them down to their defining characteristics. We discuss with Jock how he had to recalibrate his idea of Batman and Joker before taking on Absolute Batman #15. We talk about his new 2000 AD release, The Art of Judge Dredd by Jock. We examine how 2000 AD continues to influence his work, including Absolute Joker, and how he crafts certain two-page spreads in this comic. Absolute Batman #15 is out now from DC Comics. It's written by Scott Snyder, illustrated by Jock, colored by Frank Martin, and lettered by Clayton Cowles. You can continue this conversation with Jock by following him on Blue Skyand Instagram.

This Winter, from IDW Publishing, the Heroes in a Half-Shell take on the King of the Monsters! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla #1 crashes into comic shops on November 12th. Written by Godzilla Kei-Sei Scribe Tim Seeley and illustrated by the brilliant Turtle artist behind the Nightwatcher series, as well as the Stranger Things/TMNT crossover, Fero Pe, this new series finally brings two of our favorite franchises together. How can this reptilian miracle be? Long before the organization was corrupted by Shredder, the Foot Clan's original purpose was to save Japan from Kaiju! Now, in the present day, Godzilla and its fellow monsters have reappeared. Not only is the Foot not prepared to stop them…it would seem Shredder himself is behind the attacks! The Turtles are always crossing over into rad nerd realms, but this one might be the king crossover of them all.
