Super Mario Bros. with Ryan Harris

In 1991 Nintendo granted husband-and-wife directors Rocky Morton and Annabelle Jankel the rights to their Super Mario Bros. franchise to create a family adventure film. Already a household name, Mario was poised to join the pantheon of cinema’s greatest heroes. But Super Mario Bros. suffered from a notoriously chaotic production and the film has since been disavowed by almost all performers and crew members associated with it. But does the Super Mario Bros. adaptation have more merit than the record suggests?
Joined by Ryan Harris, Caleb and Frank discuss the criminal exploits of cast-member Gianni Russo, estimate the cost of an animatronic Yoshi puppet, and attempt to diagnose the rise of Trumpism in the United States. Plus, Frank debuts a new game show.
