Luckily, you don’t have to think twice about The Relic, because it’s not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The episode’s film may not be a lightning rod of awesome, but we’re going to do our best to prove to you that Son Of The Mask is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Ep. 86 - The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

It"s Not That Bad ·

2023/07/05

Movies based on popular characters can go one of two ways. The first is that the property is treated like crap, the end result is horrible and critics crap all over it. The other way is that a great movie is made, satisfying fans all over the world and raking in lots of money…and the critics crap all over it. This is definitely a category 2 situation, but it’s okay because The Super Mario Brothers Movie is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
