About this episode

Welcome back subWUFers and mushroom lovers! On today's episode, Josh and Carl sit down to discuss the highest grossing film based off based off of a video game of all time The Super Mario Bros. Movie. They chat about the plot, music, animation, the textures, nostalgia, Flix Brew House, Donkey Kong, and much more.

(Apologies for the hum during the episode. Josh nudged the audio interface and loosed an XLR cable.)
