    I’m guessing this is one of the scenes Marina complained about being made to wear a $10 wig.

      Someone needs to see if Shatner “borrowed” it after production.

    Today’s episode of car talk with martak sure is interesting…

    Not sure where the cars are. Or the radio setup

      Dennis Hopper, but close. Should it be you’re not actually sure, his screenshots are from the Super Mario Bros Movie (1993). Don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t good, because it’s a masterpiece of disaster!

        Oh, so not from trek at all! I did think it didn’t quite look like Rutger, but I couldn’t place the face. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize Dennis Hopper!

          All well and good, it just means you now have something glorious to look forward to. Fun fact: the 2 leads, Bob Hoskins (Mario) and John Leguizamo (Luigi), spent most of the production drunk on set because it was such a shitshow!

            Man, that would be like a dream job for me back when I was still drinking. It sounds like it has an amazing cast! You’re saying it’s worth watching?

              You’re saying it’s worth watching?

              It’s a masterpiece, and absolutely worth watching.

              The various “how the hell did this even get made?!” mini-documentarys are also fantastic.

              It’s less weird if you let go of any expectation of a connection to the video games. So be sure to hold onto that, to maximize the weirdness. Thankfully, the plot glances tangentially off the intended source material just often enough to spoil the immersion of its other uncanny unrelated world building.

              Honestly, of all the awful movies ever made, it is one of the best.

              The sets and props are fantasticly detailed and weird. The vibe is just as fun as it is deeply wrong for the topic. The acting and story are big goofy fun. It doesn’t overstay it’s welcome, except in the elevator scene which is absolutely intentional and kind of perfect.

              It’s genuinely fun to watch, all the way through. (Even the elevator scene.)

              And to be clear, it’s also a genuinely terrible Mario Brothers adaptation, in nearly every imaginable way. And it’s certainly a much worse movie due to the attempt to be a Mario Brothers movie, than it could have been.

              I cannot recommend Super Mario Brothers highly enough. It’s the perfect amount of awful.

              Absolutely. It only has tangential connection to the source material (as of 91-92ish), solid casting, ridiculous sets/costumes, and scene chewery up the wazoo. The kind of B-grade nonsense MST3K and Roger Corman could only dream of. Not to mention a decent soundtrack. It stands at a 4.2 on IMDB.
