NINJA TURTLES "Bat in the Belfry" REVIEW & RECAP 🐢🍕

[@nomadicchaos406]

Anyone notice how April was acting like a crack addict when the crystal went missing

[@Bitsy83]

Don't you mean a "meth addict?" As in CRYSTAL meth? Eyyy? .....oh, look there's the door! I'll just let myself.

[@destinationzerooo]

Lol

[@aleemizcool3654]

lmfao

[@jp3813]

Given that Andre just talked about it? ..........Nah!

[@hbenbuddychad1875]

I wasn't scared of April when the show began but after this episode I'm terrified of her now

[@antoniomadison2496]

i know

[@RYMAN1321]

Yeah, she reminded me of Jean Grey.

[@emeraldsound8616]

I think you speak for everyone man

[@smashin]

Golem O'Neil

[@toddpeterson8222]

I’m pretty sure that that fear was multiplied or quadrupled thanks to the power inside her a.k.a The Dark April Saga

[@Mcflyzx]

Fun Fact : Bat in the Belfry is the name of the first episode from 'The Batman' series.

[@smoothst9303]

Coincidence

[@smoothst9303]

Hilarious

[@Tamashikiri]

Soooo...... April's crystal is basically the One Ring? What's the closest volcano to New York City, and can one simply walk into it? :P

[@noahbusch7542]

She might be becoming evil

[@twinodoom]

Mmmyyyyyyy Preeeccuoussssss

[@TokuBoyStudios]

Get on get on get on to my hands and I'll disappear where I stand, I know I know you can not see that I need that one ring

[@aaronford57]

I think we're inching closer to a Dark April episode 😏😏😏

[@lancemuise2005]

its prob between ep 20-24

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Much closer!

[@lancemuise2005]

***** yes ik....sadly the shows on hiatus now but we woill get right into it

[@aaronford57]

+lance muise yeah most likely but it's coming

[@aaronford57]

+Andre "Black Nerd" and the debut new character will be you Andre....as the Black Nerd vigilante!!!

[@astrocitizen]

I think the bell-ringing as a reference to the Spider-Man villain Venom, who had the same "mouth/kips are fangs" thing that Wingbut and Screwloose had in this ep.

[@LucianoThePig]

"April , you are using this crystal as a crutch." "How would I do that Sensei , the crystals so small!"

[@brandonmoore8199]

Never stop your turtle recaps !!! They're me and my 6 year old son Sebastian favorite thing to watch after the show !!

[@SmrtPhonRtistCF]

Loved that ep, kinda had a Beetleborgs plot with the making the fictional characters real from a comic way, and if April turns evil with the crystal, what will her double self do when the other turtles return from space?

[@jamminjotaro3793]

+Andre "Black Nerd" "She on that Crystal though!" LOL You're killing me bro!!! 😂😂😂

[@AnonymousFlower5]

The next episode is called..... Are you ready? The Super Shredder Have Fun ;)

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

This has to be my favorite throwback to the 60s Batman show along with LEGO Batman 3's extra level

[@130_]

Donnie * takes crystal * April: So you have chosen ... Death

[@MrAlman8]

Great Review Andre, that made me smile and laugh.This remind me of when 1980,s Shredder was saying "Crack where?" Because there was a crack on the crystal that he and Krang were after. Anyway love the Tyrone Biggums impersonation.

[@EvanTomiko]

There was a Grumpy Cat cameo

[@renji90998]

April is becoming Darth Gollum must protect her precious

[@BlackNerdComedy]

They actually made a "Precious" reference in this episode.

[@joannacapellopaul9032]

Mikey even said that April was acting like it was her "Precious" - and he imitated Gollum. Which I found hilarious, since Mikey himself pretended that his costume ring was his Precious in the episode "Mazes And Mutants".

[@AdamYJ]

I'm glad we got to see Wingnut and Screwloose return to their superhero parody roots especially after the false start that was the Kirby-Bat. I probably know those two best from the Archie TMNT series. For those who don't remember, Wingnut and Screwloose were the last survivors of the planet Huanu after Krang destroyed their planet. They were very clearly a parody of both Batman and Robin but also Superman. The twist being that Wingnut was kind of nuts and his sidekick Screwloose was the one who often had to keep him in line (usually by biting Wingnut which put him to sleep). The version on this show was okay. Probably the best we were going to get. One of the big hurdles on this show when it comes to introducing the side characters is the theming that would often go into them. This show seems to try and keep everything as grounded as they can. So, while it's easy to introduce a mutant garbage man who's actually made of garbage (Muckman) or mutant lizard skateboarder (Mondo Gecko), it's probably a lot harder to introduce an elephant witch doctor (Doctor El) or Mongol warlord panda (Panda Khan). So, you'd either have to tone it down or jump through some story hoops. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Jagwar from the Archie series, complete with his more mythological origins. I'd also like to see Ray Fillet, who was also a big character in the Archie series (under the name Man-Ray).

[@SGC51]

A Cowboys of Moo-Mesa reference?! Wow! That's deep cuts. I used to love that show!

[@micahmx6002]

I never thought you would actually mention Attack on Titan on this show.

[@brooke.driskell4761]

Best thing was Mikey's Golem impression

[@noelleredmond9648]

ikr

[@brooke.driskell4761]

I think we're ALL forgetting about the best one yet... The Fantastic Four Food Groups

[@noelleredmond9648]

I think the entire episode was beyond amazing with all the references this episode really reached out to other Fandom's I just loved it

[@dedcaesar2325]

And when Raph said that there aren't big battles in their comics...obviously referencing the non-action of the Fant4stick movie.

[@dvdai1206]

no one is going to talk about how brutal april kill the creature in this episode when i saw it i was "shesus christ"

[@sandywolfr26]

was hoping to hear someone talk about it. reminded me of dark willow from buffy.

[@Bobbybg33k]

I definitely loved the "Holy plagiarisms, Wing-Nut.." when Tur-Fly-Tal came out.

[@richewilson4725]

The way to snap April out of the crystal control besides breaking it; will have to be a vision of her mother that tells her to find her or another Kraang invasion.

[@jadedonatello33]

"The Fantastic Four Food Groups" sounds like an Adult Swim show I would actually watch.

[@user-jy3py6qi5t]

I can't believe that this show had a brand new episode on my birthday.

[@SGC51]

The Fantastic Four comic book reference was awesome. Besides the obvious difference, that was pretty much an exact replica of the cover of the first issue of Fantastic Four.

[@jacobalexanderrorick6398]

5 Foot Soldiers, 4 Ninja Turtles, 3 Chris Bradfords, 2 Different Shredders, and A Bat In The Belfry. Sorry, it had to be done.

[@Grover1234]

Really did enjoy this episode. Thought they did a really good job on Wing Nut and Screw Loose. Yes I did thought that April's dad was going to be Wing Nut when it become the bat. Didn't mind it at all and loved (just like Andre said) the 60's Batman reference as well as the comics that the turtles were reading.

[@rahn45]

The voice work for Wingnut and Screwloose kinda reminded me of The Tick and Arthur.

[@Shane665]

Andre you missed talking about April slicing and dicing that giant eyeball.

[@jled787]

So viewing the comments, and no one is saying anything about Raph apparently not noticing Screwloose being a big yellow mosquito. Granted, we already had a prior episode addressing Raph getting over his fears of insects and other creepy crawlies, it would have been nice to see Raph (or any other cast) point out Screwloose being a mosquito.

[@smoothst9303]

This new take on Wingnut And Screwloose is my favorite!

[@queendsheena1]

Dave Chapelle reference for April was hilarious Andre. Nice job. LOL. Too much turtle recaps? I don't there's enough! Turtle haters just gonna hate. How much more unboxing, interviews and Power Rangers episodes to you think Andre can do? Oh and don't forget movie reviews and reactions. Stop trying to give the man a heart attack and enjoy what you get!

[@R.J.Godzilla81]

I didn't think about it like that, but yeah. A teenage female red head who's a psychic gets something from space that amplifies her powers causing her freak out and lose control. Plus all the references to other marvel comic characters. The turtle themselves being a satirical take on gritty comics of the day i.e. The Foot (the hand), Teenage Mutants (x-men), sensei named Splinter (stick) team of four (fantastic four), getting their powers from ooze or strange unknown waste (dare devil). OMG it's all connected O_O

[@sunshinewabby]

WHEN THEY MADE THE "PRECIOUS" REFERENCE I FREAKED OUT

[@fanon44]

What i really wish is that Wingnut and Screwloose were voiced by Adam West and Burt Ward

[@galatoots9398]

Omg I loved this episode. Tbh April creeped me out a little but it was awesome ^^ and always a pleasure to see you review it Andre. What do you think of Dark April?

[@Hewylewis]

I'd very much like to see Koya in this new series. We need more female mutants.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

Don't forget about Alopex! :D

[@Hewylewis]

Oh yes, her too! :D

[@geardog24]

Who's Koya?

[@CrazyCartoonCat12]

Agreed.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

Koya is Shredder's mutated pet falcon in the IDW comic. Alopex is a snow fox. Both awesome characters and a fantastic comic book series altogether. Definitely worth reading.

[@DanHeroPhantom]

Let's see arachnid man come in voiced by josh Keaton. I will flip or thwip

[@rodster6campingprepper]

I wish they had kept it closer to the Archie comics origin that they were the last survivors of a planet destroyed by the krang and Screwloose was a bit crazy and Screwloose is a smaller character. Made him seem more unique. Would have liked to see them join the Mutanimals too. Better than the shows last attempt at a Wingnut but still feels a waste of the characters.

[@Chris_Cross-pf3dp]

This episode reminds me of the Beetleborgs series from the 90's, anyone remember when they summoned Karato and Silver-Ray to fight the Magnavores?

[@retrogamer6403]

It's a concidence that their doing a reference to 60's Batman around the time Batman: Return of the Caped Crusader is about to come out watch they got Adam West and Burt Ward to voice them.

[@bradyanderson9008]

15 years ago toon disney last aired wild west cow boys of moo mesa by that spring. and it's the last time it's ever aired on TV, somewhat.

[@jaydubb2092]

April's crystal was her preciouuuuuusssssss! (LOTR) lol 😂😂

[@kingdrell]

April was going really crazy over her crystal meth.. I mean crystal lol

[@jaxon5905]

I was like "Woah what?" When I heard Jeff Bennett because that's my uncles name XD

[@faithalexander7620]

Everyone is falling apart! First Leo who's getting weeker to Karai, who wants vengeance more than anything, and Shredder being mutated into somthing more powerful than ever, next Raph with his terrible fear of bugs (tenacaly delt with) and now Mikey is being more foolish than ever, and April's crystal is her everything. Donnie is the only one still the same but I fear he might be Nickelodeon's next target.

[@thezapperzone6303]

Andre, you shouldn't listen to them, you are free to do anything you want.. It's your channel dude!

[@RhyperiorRanger]

I love that Wignut sounds like DynoDad

[@clarkside5315]

April has telepathic powers. Now the crystal is turning her evil, but I don't think we'll get JUST Dark April. The Kraang don't have a Kraang Prime anymore and April is part Kraang. What a wonderful series finale it might be if the Turtles had to come full circle and fight off the Kraang once and for all in an effort to save April from the Kraang AND herself. April O'neil for Kraang Prime 2017, she's got my vote!

[@istiakrahman6952]

Now, I want a TMNT/BATMAN Crossover episode sooo badly!!!!

[@NAVEMAN3]

You called it Andre, we got a golum.

[@wildchildflores]

I really want Venus de Milo in this series... like, they could make her an absolute bad ass character on this format. I don't care if it's just for one episode...

[@LucianoThePig]

Replace crystal with phone , and suddenly we can all relate

[@TheArrJames]

I really dug Wingnut and Screwloose in this, I hope they find an excuse to use then again in the future. Maybe Mikey somehow visits their dimension, or they end up stuck in the Turtleverse and join the Mutanimals.

[@kdash20002]

sounds like April almost went full Gollum with that crystal lol

[@impaled2046]

Plot twist: April's been a jedi since season one

[@RadiantJo]

Someone get me that white stone, April, and a dragon ball manga. Cause I got wishes to make!!!

[@adrianatomlin7092]

Your gonna collect the seven Dragon balls?

[@XJIcequeen]

Good luck at the TMNT panel tomorrow

[@bigwyllpower]

Did anyone else notice that Donatello was dreaming about "DMT" aka dimethyltryptamine!!! I find hilarious that they slipped a psychedelic drug into into a kids show. lol

[@josefo-oo4jl]

April should've said MY PRECIOUSSS

[@cmndrleon4369]

I did enjoy the way-back-when episode that showed Leo with Black Eyes. Similar to the demons in Supernatural.

[@Gungelion]

So the crystal took them from Adam West Batman to Zack Snyder Batman. Also you forgot to mention the "precious" reference

[@RYMAN1321]

QUESTION : Is it just me or is April being corrupted similar to how Jean Grey was corrupted by the Phoenix?

[@jonathanwilliams7327]

There was a another reference. With april. In the original comics. She was a drawing brought to life. Buy a Magical. crystal

[@EvanTomiko]

A lot of Batman and Robin references

[@Rcampo42]

power corrupts true power corrupts further

[@prince_nocturne]

I still want Usagi Yojimbo. NICK! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[@transylvani600]

April O'Neil The true nightmare begins Crystal terror not even rarity can stop new

[@lexab3317]

I can't be the only one who saw those Undertake references. No? Ok. April's eyes turn blue as she moves around he hand which is moving her fan weapon, Like sans. See that? What... no again? Ok how about this! The Skeleton bad guy keeps saying Nye hehe and has red and or orange eyes. The skeleton head attack are like the Gaster blaster. Lal

[@DIMITRI33721]

April's megalovia intensifies

[@Dudeonwheels]

I don't know why I thought Burt Ward was already dead.

[@Jamall_Toys]

Dark April Saga?...........Sold!

[@BoyAditya]

love this episode. i think this is the best episode in this season.

[@MarcMarioMaster]

Silly question, André. Do you think that Casey Jones needs an upgrade or possible would need to join Splinter's teachings? I found it interesting that he still had the equipment from when they all were in space but I always read people calling him like the worst character ever and would be interested what your opinion is on Casey´. Does he lack a lot compared to everybody else and should get some time dedicated to him and show a level up? =3

[@1butter60]

+Andre "Black Nerd" If you were to watch more anime, would you start doing reviews on those animes that u watched?

[@checkmytoetag]

I need a wingnut and screwloose toy in my life

[@HassanGigant]

A lot of people talk about 'Dark April' like she already existed before this show. Is she an actual character in the TMNT universe?

[@VanessaMartinez-vc7du]

She did get possessed by a demon in the 2003 series if I recall correctly. Through a piece of jewelry no less. But mostly I think people are just referencing Dark Phoenix. Anyway, it would not surprise me if there is a demon in that crystal. There is something alive in there for sure. We saw that.

[@kirstenmichie347]

honestly April looked about ready to murder donnie. seriously if we're going down this dark April path she is probably going to end up beating the crap out of donatello because we gotta have that angst

[@RYMAN1321]

Yeah. I have a feeling that she might become like Jean Grey when she was corrupted by the Phoenix, and I'm hoping that we'll get a TMNT arc similar to The Phoenix Saga.

[@XJIcequeen]

I hate hiatus'! I want more episodes!

[@transylvani600]

Didn't the robot say something like this may happen if you use the Crystal too much

[@lazyKong64]

Yo! What's happining?! Pizza Time! Shell yeah!

[@ryanyarbrough1343]

April reminded me of Gollum from Lord of the Rings, always wanting her precious...........crystal and going stir crazy about it. My precious....tis it's mines! Stupid turtles! Especially the red one....(they could have done that reference since Sean Astin played Sam, the fat hobbit Gollum kept on calling).

[@SeanCwilich]

I I liked & agreed with everything you said about this episode. I like the references from the comics & the classic Batman series too, they were funny. :)

[@gmarvelous7]

What's funny is there's a recent Batman/TMNT crossover in the comics, and an upcoming one featuring the Batman from Batman: The Animated Series and the current Turtles from the show! www.cbr.com/sdcc-batman-the-animated-seriestmnt-crossover-debuts-first-art/

[@leiahamato3537]

[@PanCakeFace]

They sorta already did in this show

[@romansoto9644]

I love crystal

[@xxjentimeforcexx1852]

Are you going to Do power rangers Dino super charge recap?

[@akuXIII]

andre works on the show

[@VGAfanatic]

I'm getting really sick of them constantly recycling the "Mikey's right but no one listens to him" trope...

[@ryanyarbrough1343]

It does get old. I mean Michelangelo has been right a lot of times, it's just that he's supposed to be the one the other three can't take seriously for most of the time.

[@VGAfanatic]

And that's why it's a problem. They really should've picked up on his knack for making correct hunches a season and a half ago. I swear, if they don't write an episode somewhere soon where Mikey makes a crazy hunch and at least someone says "I think Mikey's onto something," as a joke on the last several times he was right, I might just have an aneurysm. Imagine if Edward from Cowboy Bebop was constantly ignored by the other three because she acts like a complete goofball, despite the fact that the reason they sought her bounty out in the first place was because of her skill as a hacker. I don't think you'd find it funny after the third time in a row.

[@SaiyaMAN007]

The other characters would probably believe Mikey more often if he stopped doing stupid crap. I'd have felt sympathetic toward him in this ep if he hadn't stolen April's clearly dangerous crystal just so he could screw around with old comic book characters regardless of the consequences.

[@VGAfanatic]

Which he only did because everyone wouldn't believe him in the first place. Stupid begets stupid begets stupid, is what I'm trying to get across.

[@SaiyaMAN007]

Being unjustly ignored does not justify stealing April's stuff, whether he was right the whole time or not.

[@LopezTalks]

Just watch my reviews instead people!?
