Network Executive: “We at the network want a Power Rangers movie with attitude. It’s edgy. It’s in your face. You've heard the expression "Shift Into Turbo." Well, this is a movie that gets "Tur-Booo." Consistently and thoroughly. Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageously creepy puppet. We’re talking about vehicles with the power and velocity of turbo technology.”
Writer: “Excuse me, but "Turbo" and "Velocity"- aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that. I'm fired, aren't I?”
Network Executive: “Oh, yes. The rest of you writers start thinking up a name for this funky movie. I don't know. Something along the lines of, say, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Only more proactive. Yeah!”
(In case my Simpsons reference was confusing, this is the first part of our discussion of Turbo: A Power Rangers movie. Enjoy it.)
