Dal and Dan head back into the sewers for a rewatch of the 1991 classic: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. They discuss mutant battles, that delicious-looking pizza from the opening scene, and the Super Shredder fight that could have been.

Dal and Dan travel back to 1992 to rewatch the FOX primetime premiere of Batman: the Animated Series, when "On Leather Wings" terrified young Dal on a Sunday evening in September and young Dan was forbidden to watch the "evil" spectacle.
