Episode 186: Reviewing the Super Mario Galaxy Movie: Fabulous Fan Service and Absurdist Fun Can't Quite Outshine (or Cover Up) a Disjointed Plot

Like the disjointed levels in a video game, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is more akin to a collection of scenes--each one fun, funny, and action-packed...but barely tethered to a greater whole.
