“Dude, you turn chicken shit into some... palatable chicken salad.” – Carl.

Jordan, Maggie, Alex P, and special guest Carl Anka discuss video game movies. Maggie shares what she thought of Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex P defends 1993’s Super Mario Bros., and Carl… well, Carl has seen a LOT of video game movies and has basically been waiting his entire life for the chance to talk about them.

This episode contains spoilers for some old video game movies but we tried very hard NOT to spoil Detective Pikachu.
