A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Hi, Mat here, host of the Sequelcast podcasts. We recently had Phlibbit on as a guest on our Video Game Sequelcast podcast covering the NES Mario Bros. video games. It was a ton of fun and we discussed the Mario trivia, the movie, and of course this website. Phlibbit hops onto the show at around 54 ...

Hooked on the Brothers! Super Mario Bros. is a video game movie that is memorable in the way that may surprise you. The witty dialogue and rapport between Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi, respectively, make this film a real treat upon repeated viewings. Although it features a look...

stats.png Some exciting news on the Sequelcast Special episode on Super Mario Bros. with redstar as the guest. It's our 2nd most downloaded episode from the past six months (the 1st most downloaded episode in the past six months was a Sequelcast Special on 3D Movies)! Congratulations! Who would hav...

Thanks for listening and enjoying it! When we were recording the commentary, we had several issues with Skype crashing, so by the time we had recorded a complete commentary it was our fourth try. As I result, I wasn't looking at Wikipedia for reference for fear of Skype or my computer crashing. I sh...

Thrasher (my co-host) and I recorded an audio commentary for the Super Mario Bros. movie on the latest episode of SequelCommentary. There might be mild language at times. Enjoy! I'm really happy at the positive response to the Sequelcast Special episode I did with Steven and hope you enjoy this comm...

Thanks. I am glad everyone liked it.

I recently had on Redstar of these very forums on my podcast, the Sequelcast, as a guest to to talk about the Super Mario Bros. movie. You might wonder why we're talking about a movie without a sequel on the show, but it's because it's on of the Sequelcast Special episodes in which I break format a ...

Here's a review I wrote for Super Mario Bros. the rec.arts.movies.reviews newsgroup back when I was 13 or 14. Both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes link to it, which is somewhat embarrassing. I'm going to quote the whole review because it's short. I'm less harsh on this film now than I was when I was 14! SU...

Thanks for the suggestions, sorry I'm getting back to them practically a year later. Been very busy with real world stuff. We've talked about doing the Dungeons and Dragons movies for quite some time. I really like the Jim Carrey ideas. We're doing Men in Black right now. The Men in Black 1 episode ...

Sequelcast recently did a special episode focusing on video game movies and Super Mario Bros. gets a nod again, as does this site.

Really cool. Nice to get some behind the scenes info on the REAL Mario. Now if only we could find the real Wario...

Luigi - DJ Qualls

Toad - Peter Dinklage

Research of any kind is heavily appreciated by me. It's astounding how often you hear people spout clearly untrue things about the movie they're looking into or assert that the evidence doesn't exist when a 5-second Google search pretty much reveals all the sources you need. Google is definitely a ...

That was the first "Sequelcast" recording I had ever heard and it will most likely be the last. The use of a rude speech enhancer (expletive) was unnecessary and I wished one of the hosts had studied or reviewed the Super Mario Bros. movie or else he would have not called Daisy "Peac...

Redstar, thanks for your kind words regarding Sequelcast. When we do research for the show, we use Wikipedia as a starting point, then go to fan pages or fan wikis, and sometimes watch documentaries or commentaries if we have the time. Interviews with the directors or movie stars from books or news ...

Howdy, SMB Movie fans. I am Sequelcast, a podcast focusing on movie franchises one movie at a time, and I was introduced to this site by redstar on my Facebook page after we did an episode focusing on movies that promised a sequel that never came to fruition (one of them we talked about was Super Ma...

Here is a thread where we can discuss the Sequelcast, my podcast devoted to reviewing movies in a franchise one film at a time. Check out our past episodes at http://www.sequelcast.com. These are the franchises we've covered so far: Beverly Hills Cop Batman Bill and Ted Caddyshack Chinatown Ghostbus...

That Mushroom Madness fan film looks interesting. I recently was watching Gnomeo and Juliet and while I found that CG cartoon mediocre, I thought the look of it was fantastic. If an animated Super Mario Bros. movie looked like that cartoon did, it would fit the whole fantasy vibe of the games very w...

Yeah, ending any movie with the promise of a sequel always seems kind of risky because it's not always a sure thing if one will get made. I did not know that the Super Mario Bros. ending was part of a rewrite, but from reading a lot of your interviews on the site it is clear Super Mario Bros. was a ...

Redstar recently contacted me suggesting I should talk about our mention of the Super Mario Bros. movie in a special episode of my podcast, the Sequelcast. We recently did a special episode focusing on movies that promise a sequel that was never made and the Super Mario Bros. movie was one of the fi...
