Matinee Monday: Super Mario Bros. LIVE! (w/ Jenny Slate)

Can you make a movie out of a video game? In this case, no! Jenny Slate (Big Mouth, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) joins us to discuss 1993's Super Mario Bros. LIVE at Bumbershoot! We cover everything from the alternate dinosaur infested dimension, the absence of gold coins, Mojo Nixon’s odd Goomba cameo, and the fact that Mario & Luigi aren't even brothers in the movie. (Originally released 10/16/2012)

[@ChrisJonesDJ]

Heroes Reforged brought me here

[@mcdudely]

Saaaaaame!!

[@WreckItALF]

Same

[@who_hurt_youproductions8826]

😂 likewise

[@the7percentsolution]

I don't think I saw any references to this movie in the new Super Mario Bros movie but I hope Nintendo can poke fun at itself in a sequel somewhere down the road. Also too bad we never got a really weird cyber punk Zelda movie in the 90s to follow up on this disaster.

[@TheSugarylez]

I love your voice Jenny Slate!

[@maximusfalcone3242]

She should be Daisy in the next Mario Movie

[@TheSugarylez]

And of course the foundation starting with June!

[@eduardotorres6108]

Is there video version?

[@eddead4235]

Nop

[@Alpha_Beats]

Is koop a dino? I thought he was a turtle

[@mcdudely]

anyone else annoyed that he calls him Marry-o instead of Mario?

[@ms_keira]

pretty sure that's a popular accent/pronunciation with Italian Americans. Particularly in New England.

[@muffythevampirelayer_]

Yes

[@Muzzy12]

Yeah man I actually stopped Spotify just to find this on CZcams and say this. What the actual motherfucking fuck is wrong with them? NOT ONE of them can say Mario correctly? The fucking game has been an international pop culture icon for like 40 years and they don't have the decency to say MARIO? But then they make fun of the director for not knowing it was a game? At least he probably knew how to say Mario. What the FUCK? That was my first and last look at that podcast I can't do an hour of that

[@jonloc8535]

Wrong, I'm from New England we say Mario correctly. The way Paul and June are saying it are the New York way.@@ms_keira

[@deepfielder]

No

[@SquirefromtheShire]

Worst part was how they kept mispronouncing the name ‘Mario’

[@kicsms_science3729]

Seemed weird to me, too - especially since Mario himself doesn’t pronounce it that way.
