Imagine David Cronenberg's "The Fly," but for VIDEO GAMES!

We've been so happy with the state of the Mushroom Club lately that we wanted to treat you to something a little bit different, and we're calling it the Freaky Friday Mushroom Mashup!

We take a random selection from a list of the most popular gaming franchises, then pair them with a selection from a random list of gaming genres, and force ourselves to come up with a pitch for the game on the... FLY!

That's the only thing Cronenberg has to do with this episode. It has NOTHING to do with combining two opposite things into one grotesque creation. It is MERELY a nod to the fact that we will be improvising on the fly.

We've got a call to action at the end of this and would LOVE to hear some of your own ideas.
