We may be turning the calendar page, but the Good Brothers are still wearing their leftover St. Patrick's Day green as they take on the 4th annual DCAU Review April Fools' Day special, this time venturing out even further into the far reaches of the animated universes and landing on 2003's iteration of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show and its' pilot episode "Things Change." Hear the hosts break down some of their personal memories of the show as well as the Turtles origins as characters and how this series returned them to their more serious yet still parodied roots. The hosts break down the episode with their interesting tidbits regarding the familiar animation studio responsible for the episode, a earworm theme song that will never leave your brain and how the show decides to communicate character differences and intricacies rather than rely on exposition. Plus the hosts talk some neat visual tricks to hide character violence from censors, along with a preview of episode 350 of the show with a very special guest and much more all on this week's April Fools' edition of the DCAU Review!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
