  • Breaking It Apart – Super Mario Bros (Super Episode)
    Oct 4 2024

    On this new entry in the special episode series Breaking It Apart, I’m joined by Kevin Brackett, Joe Black, Pete Abeyta, Derrick Patterson, Tara Giancaspro and VG Mobster for an episode on Super Mario Bros. The 1993 adaptation of the classic Nintendo platformer left a lot of people confued when it was first released but has gone on to become a cult classic and the kind of unique adpatation we're not likely to see ever again. Puzzle pieces include The Matrix, Men In Black, Tank Girl and Inglorious Basterds.

    As always, SPOILER ALERT for Super Mario Bros and the movies we discuss!

    Written by Parker Bennett, Ed Solomon, Terry Runte

    Directed by Rocky Mortn and Annabel Jankel

    Starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Samathan Mathis, Fiona Shaw
