Episode 119 - Mario Bros and Video Game Movie Hell

May 11, 2019

Join us for a lively discussion of the first ever major motion picture live-action adaptation of a video game: Super Mario Bros! This is also part of a reoccurring feature: To The Death! - Where one of us defends a film we really love, but the majority of society hates. This time, Steve actually defends Super Mario Bros. Why did we dredge up this cinema schlock? Because, for some reason, they are adapting Sonic the Hedgehog for the big screen, so we thought it would be a fun throwback. And we’ll discuss all the other video game movie flops to grace the screen since Mario and his bro.

Plus; Nerdy News, updated Game of Thrones draft picks, and Trailer Reviews of Sonic the Hedgehog and Spider-Man: Far From Home.

This week’s Radical Recommends: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 2, and Alien’s Guide reviews on YouTube.
