A long, strange trip with the Super Mario Bros. (1993)

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas take up an apprenticeship with a couple of Brooklyn plumbers, who have a penchant for taking shrooms and climbing in sewers. But things get a bit trippy when they get us all sucked into another dimension, where the inhabitants are the descendants of dinosaurs.With the brand-new movie in cinemas (which we talk about over on Patreon), our Filaversary arc takes us down the sewers into the pits of 1993 toxic waste, with one of the worst films of the year, and possibly of the 90s, SUPER MARIO BROS. Starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario Mario and Luigi Mario, and Dennis Hopper as King Koopa, we dive into this confusing take on what should have been a sure-fire hit in the early 90s. Join us, as we give a brief history of Nintendo and the Super Mario Bros. franchise, talk about all the possible versions of this movie, and explore what was a troubled production, resulting in this box office bomb.Was it really all that bad, though? 30 Years Later, we're still talking about this so-bad, it's good piece of 90s garbage.
