Episode 33: A Little Messed Up And Blue
Ashley & Adrian race to stop a wedding and save the world by discussing the 1997 film, “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.”
Network Executive: “We at the network want a Power Rangers movie with attitude. It’s edgy. It’s in your face. You’ve heard the expression “Shift Into Turbo.” Well, this is a movie that gets “Tur-Booo.” Consistently and thoroughly. Oh, God, yes. We’re talking about a totally outrageously creepy puppet. We’re talking about vehicles with the power and velocity of turbo technology.”
Writer: “Excuse me, but “Turbo” and “Velocity”- aren’t these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I’m accusing you of anything like that. I’m fired, aren’t I?”
Network Executive: “Oh, yes. The rest of you writers start thinking up a name for this funky movie. I don’t know. Something along the lines of, say, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Only more proactive. Yeah!”
(In case my Simpsons reference was confusing, this is the first part of our discussion of Turbo: A Power Rangers movie. Enjoy it.)
Inspired by a mutual love of the indie pop duo Tegan And Sara, hosts Ashley Burgy and Adrian King take listeners on an unconventional yet insightful look back at the pop culture that shaped them during their formative years and beyond. We’d love to chat music, sports, or other pop culture mayhem on social media. See our links below for more details!
