In this episode of Nerds Against Normality, we take a deep dive into the infamous 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie—the first-ever live-action adaptation of a video game.

Often remembered for its dark tone, dystopian visuals, and drastic departure from the source material, this film has earned a unique place in pop culture history. We explore its troubled production, ambitious world-building, and why it continues to spark debate among fans and critics alike. Is it a misunderstood cult classic or a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess? Tune in and find out.

Before we get into the review we have a little catch up with what we have been doing with ourselves since the last recording! If you want to get straight into the review then jump ahead to 28:10! 

New episodes drop every Wednesday, bringing you fresh content, hot takes, and unapologetic nerdiness.
