Nerdbot Presents Back In The Shell: A Ninja Turtle Fan Series
It’s Pizza Time! The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, comics, games, toys and cartoons inspired us when we were younger. Now it’s time for us to give something back! Nerdbot Media and an incredible cast and crew of actors, filmmakers, and prop makers are coming together to make a 6 episode live action fan series. Not CGI…THE REAL THING, LIKE IN THE ‘90s! We are die hard fans that want to create something incredible through our love for the Turtles. We hope you join us on this awesome adventure.
Podcast: Nerdin’ Out
The Nerdin Out Podcast is an offshoot of ALT987’s The Woody Show— with Woody Show Members Ravey, Cameron and Randy along with their friend Courtney— expounding on things that make life fun. Much like The Woody Show, it’s friends hanging out talking about their favorite things. Like superheroes, comics, games (video and board) tv, movies, books and all the other great things that make Woody grumpy when we try to discuss them on the show.
