TMNT Shellcast maxed out hot takes of "Attack of Big MACC" from season 3 episode 12 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV series.

In the TV episode, an electrical storm accidentally opens a portal that brings MACC, an alien robot from 2390 AD to the present. Initially aggressive, the Turtles convince MACC they are peaceful, and he joins them to learn more about their time. However, Krang and Shredder re-program MACC to become violent, and the Turtles must stop his rampage and help him return to his own timeline before he explodes and destroys New York City. With their efforts, MACC regains control and returns home, leaving the Turtles to continue their adventures.

Andrew kicks of the podcast episode with Pizza Time! (00:05:44), where he prices shredded mozzarella favorably. Chris and Jonny-on-the-spot (01:52:36) join in for the Reptile Draft of Cowboy Things (00:38:40), where Jon earns the first-ever TMNT Shellcast Power-Up (01:03:58).
