Movie of the Year: 1991Bonus Episode - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze

Just because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze can't win Movie of the Year doesn't mean it can't win your love

Ooze. The 1990s were full of it, and no year more chocker-block than 1991. You'd open your locker: ooze. You'd check what mom packed for lunch: ooze. You'd do a flawless dance for your peers: ooze and ahhs. But everyone had the same question when it came to ooze — what’s its secret? 

Was its secret that ooze was everywhere? Seems like an odd secret, and also, no. However, it really was everywhere. All toys were covered in, or created, some sort of goop or ooze or slime. Not gak. Gak didn’t come out until 1992 and I wish you could hear how pig-ignorant you sound right now. Geez. 

This ubiquitous toy gunk was likely big business training us to get used to all the toxic waste they were creating and hiding in forests and beneath oceans and such. Maybe that is the secret? That it’s baby’s first toxic waste? That's probably a secret of some ooze, but I doubt it is the secret of this particular ooze.

These questions cried out for answers in cinema form, and luckily for us the Ninja Turtles and their good friend, Vanilla Ice, are here to give us an answer, provided there is enough time. Actually, there apparently isn’t enough time to get to the secret of the ooze in the movie The Secret of the Ooze, but Ryan says it’s that the ooze is from space, which OK.
