This week on Podcasting With Power, we take a deep dive into the infamous live-action Super Mario Bros. movie from the nineties! Does this movie deserve to stay in the shadows, or should Nintendo do more to celebrate it?

We welcome special guest Nick Dumitrescu (from the WASD and Beyond and It Came From Screambox podcasts) for our special rewatch (or in Jordan's case, a first-time watch!) of this cult classic. We'll share our full thoughts on the movie, as well as behind-the-scenes details and almost-castings we've learned about over the years. We even compare it directly to the more recent, animated Super Mario films!
