First Time Pictures - The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)

This week, Anthony and Julian jump into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a big, cosmic swing for the Mario franchise. Julian comes in as a lifelong fan who grew up playing the games, while Anthony brings a more skeptical take on Mario movies in general — setting up a fun clash of perspectives right from the start. The guys break down how the movie handles the Galaxy storyline, the visuals, the characters, and whether it captures what made the games so special in the first place. They talk about what works, what feels off, and whether this version actually elevates Mario on the big screen. Between nostalgia and skepticism, they figure out where The Super Mario Galaxy Movie lands and if it lives up to the legacy of the games.
