This ain’t no video game. I mean, you know that – video games require human input and movies don’t. But Super Mario Bros.: The Movie wants to make that *very* clear.
That’s right, it’s another one of our commentary spectaculars, and we’re sending up the biggest mistake of Bob Hoskins’ and John Leguizamo’s career (surprisingly, this one is right in the middle for Dennis Hopper). They really, really, *really* don’t make them like this any more, and while there’s a good reason for that, there’s something truly magical about taking one of the most iconic children’s characters of all time and putting him into a movie that’s way too horny and way too much like Blade Runner for its own good.
Anyway, this one’s a bit harder to find than the other movies we’ve done. You can still get a DVD or Blu-ray at the usual retailers, but Archive.org has a version to stream if you’re so inclined. Join us as we watch one of the most puzzling decisions in human history.
