You was good. Welcome back tothe Nerve Box. I ain't don I'm
doing major and today this is anothermovie Box episode and today we're doing a
review on Super Mario Bros. MoviePeaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches,
Peaches. Yeah. So, sowhat did you feel about the pace of
(00:24):
the movie? Uh, pacing wise, this thing it really zoomed by fast.
You know, Um, you didn'treally get time to explore the world,
you know, they was It wasn'tbadly paced, but it was moving
so fast. You know, youwas getting through. It was just back
to back, you know, youwas getting through the story like that for
(00:48):
you know, you was already towardsthe end. He had an already befriended
toad and and they was off tosave the world and they did the training
montage type deal. It was justeverything was so fast. You know,
you get to the end and themovie is like an hour and a half
long, if I'm not mistaken thatit flew Yeah. So so, really,
(01:08):
were you really surprised with anything inthe movie. You have to see
the trailers, surprise. No,I think we got everything far as easter
egg wise, you know, allthe stuff we was planning on seeing and
they're from from whatever game title thatSuper Mario is released over the years,
it's probably in there. I mean, like within the first ten minutes we
(01:33):
saw Easter Eggs on East Eggs.It's probably thousands of East Eggs in this
movie alone. Yeah. Yeah.And you know what stuck stood out to
me as soon as I watched themovie was the art style. Oh yeah,
most definitely. Yeah. And Ithink that's more because you know,
I usually play just about every Mariogame that comes out. Yeah, And
I was like, Man, ifthey make a Mario game that looks like
(01:53):
this, I'm telling you, ifthey don't update the next Mario game officially,
oh, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Well, I mean when Artyssey
came out, Ardyssey was like thepeak, the peak of it. But
you know what, when you bringup the art style of this movie,
when you look at it visually,this is nothing like you've seen as far
(02:15):
as an animated movie from a videogame anyway. You know, with this
one, it almost reminds me.The vibrant colors and the statis almost reminds
me of some of the later MCUfilms and how they real brightened stuff like
that in the background. Because weget a lot of good visuals from stuff
(02:35):
like that. In this movie,that they took that art style and made
it their own illumination, definitely gotan A plus for that one, right,
right, So I saw that youjust mentioned the MCU. Would you
compare like maybe the upcoming Mario universethat or more than likely happened to them
to you, Oh, it's definitelyuniverse building. It's definitely universe building.
(02:57):
I don't know if they're gonna goto the extent that the MCU and DC
trying to do, but they definitelyplanned on doing a whole lot more lower
building. You know, they evendropped a few bomb shells. Actually,
you know what, I take thatback. There was some surprises because I'm
not gonna go deep into it,but you know, Peaches Origin it kind
of got touched on a little bit. I wanted them to go deeper into
(03:20):
that, but the way they approachedit surprised me. Yeah, they touched
it like very slightly, like theygave you just a little bit just for
you to want more. Like ohman, okay, I always wondered about
that because yeah, when you thinkabout it, you know, she's well,
it wasn't more of like like becauseof you know who she is,
and she looked different than everybody else. It was just the fact of in
the movie her reaction when she sawMario. Yeah, kind of like had
(03:44):
you the huh okay, so what'sup? Yeah? But yeah yeah.
And then you know, with allthe references in the movies, like there's
the definitely other movies coming up,because they had a reference all over from
Luigi having references. Then you hadyeah, you got Yoshi as actually it
was but two of them. Thein credit scene and that was a scene
(04:05):
where they went through the Little YoshiLand or is that what they calling it?
Yeah, oh yeah, that justhappened. But never, nothing's not
here nor there. Well it's notreally a spoiler. It's not really a
spoiler. The end credit scene isall over the internet. That's neither here
nor there. But the story,how how did you feel about the story?
(04:30):
Did you feel like the story wentto too slow too fast? Because
I I me personally, I feltlike the story's pacing was okay up to
a certain point where it seemed likeeverything was just coming rapid fire. And
you know that's how literally how Ifelt about the whole movie. It was
just so fast. Story wise,I felt like it was kind of the
(04:53):
same story we had always got Meremario, you know, slight differences, slight
changes, you know, to freshenit up. But at the same time,
it was already kind of expected togo that way. Uh, story
wise, I won't say it itwas hollow. It was. It wasn't
a bad story, you know,it's it's easy to follow, it's fun
(05:15):
to follow for the most part,you know, but it it was left,
it could have been more. Itcould have been a little bit more
to it got you, you know, it just I mean they gave you,
like certain flashbacks. Yeah, theygave you certain flashbacks to add to
it just a little bit, justa little bit, which I mean wouldn't
make the story not bad, youknow what I'm saying. I mean,
even with those flashbacks, you reallydidn't need them. Yeah, but like,
(05:40):
um, like there's there's uh I'mstuck. Yeah, I'm stuck.
I forgot what I was gonna say. So then so then you have um
Jack Black as Bowser actually like hisBowser. But at the same time,
I feel like they kind of madeBowser a little too like playful. I
(06:00):
agree with that. Yeah, yeah, you know, which is crazy because
he had moments where it was likeoh yeah, yeah Bowser, Yeah,
yeah, like you he definitely knewthe character, like you can tell,
like he he actually understands the wholeMario Bowsing everything concept. It's just the
way that they, yeah, theythe way that they approached it. Eventually
(06:25):
they that comedy portion came out ofwhich and we said that was going to
happen. But the moments were Bowserwas serious. Yeah it was. It
was definitely Bowsing. And you knownow that you mentioned it, you know,
like like you did, we didsay it was gone come out.
They managed to suppress it a lot. Yeah, they they they must have
(06:46):
been fighting behind the scenes, likeall right, we can't have you going
Jack Jet Jack Black all over theyou know, all over the movie.
But I mean the way the wayhe approached Yeah, Bouser, I don't
think that he necessarily wanted to takethat route. It was more of you
know, what they gave him becauseyou know, it's I mean, it's
Jack Black, and but E didn'twant him to overly do his Jack Black
(07:11):
thing because you know, this isa separate character. And I don't mind
it being humor here and there,but I didn't want it to drown out
to carry one and there was momentswe didn't need from Bowser. Yeah,
but then you know, I mean, just like with Seth Rogan, with
Dunkoan, I said something about thatand the you know, the live we
went on. But I don't mindhis Donkey Kong. And one of the
(07:33):
main reasons I don't see why anybodyshould mind it is because, like,
you only really had one true voicefor Dunke Kong, and it's that's that
old series. Yeah, and it'sDaniel similar to what he gave you,
you know what I mean, itjust doesn't Yeah, he didn't do like
a voice of pressure. Yeah,but he really didn't have to because Dunkey
(07:54):
Konge really didn't have a voice true. I mean, when you go back
to all of these Mario games,Yeah, literally, the only one that
actually had a voice was probably likePeach when she called Mario. Everything else
is uh well, and Mario hada little slight voice, but it wasn't
no like actual voice acting. Youalways have to read, just like Gazelle.
(08:16):
But you know, the voices andMario kind of grew over time.
You know that voices wasn't always athing with Mario. Yeah, so that
that that grew over time, soI can get where they were like,
Oh, it doesn't necessarily matter whowe have voice in it. We could
we could make it work. Youknow, my only beef with Donkey Konge
(08:39):
is I felt like it didn't feelas gorilla as I thought it was gone.
But like I said, though,I mean when you when you look
at these Donkey konges, you onlygot that one references. No, it's
like when you look at these DonkeyKonge games, and then when you look
at um, like the old showsand stuff like that, he's it seems
like he's supposed to be a teenager. Yeah, so I don't think he's
(09:01):
grown. And then there's another issueI had with the whole Donkey Konge thing.
I'm not gonna get into it,at least not yet. But yeah,
that was totally different from what Ialready knew about Donkey. Yeah,
there was. There was definitely somesome Laura change. Yeah, you know,
not everything is the same, butI expected that. You know,
(09:22):
these characters aren't going to be staggnant. They have to develop and grow and
change and and if they want tocontinue to make these movies and stories.
They're gonna have to do that,so they're gonna have to make certain changes
that are necessary. You know.It's like, but to go back on
the Donkey Konge thing. You know, like I said when I say I
(09:43):
wanted it more Gorilla, not necessarilythat he couldn't be a youthful teenager or
whatever or playful on certain levels.It just felt like, you want to
have a little more serious terms.Yeah, it not even so, it
just kind of I felt like itwas it was Seth. I couldn't really
look past it. There was momentswhere it didn't feel that way, but
(10:07):
there were more moments where it didthan than it didn't, you know what
I'm saying, Especially like a matterof fact, you pointed out in the
Theater of the laugh it was it'siconic. You immediately know that's Seth.
The other characters, the way theyvoiced them out, you really can't tell.
When you listening to Mario. Youdon't be like, oh, that's
(10:28):
Chris Pratt right there. You youyou pretty much involved in to the fact
that that's Mario. The same withLuigi Peach bows up until you know certain
points. Yeah, yeah, youknow. So it's but like I said,
I don't mind it because besides theold series, yeah, the Donkey
Kong Country series. Yeah, thisright is literally like they knew the only
(10:52):
in first voice. And then evenwith the old series, the voices sound.
I don't think he didn't have asuper deep voice. And he did
have like this this like persona abouthim when he talked inside of that series
like he was young. So yeah, it all matches up, you know
(11:15):
what I mean. Now, Idon't know about to laugh, but he
I don't know, man, Idon't know. Man. I like Seth
Rogan, I like self too.It just felt like, I mean,
he only didn't laugh one. Yeah, it just felt like that here.
It just seared through the character.But I mean even even though he kept
the laugh, which in you know, he told everybody that before the movie
(11:37):
came out, like you're getting me, I'm just Donkey Konge. But even
though that is the case, Yeah, he really dumped down that laugh he
did. It wasn't as strong asall actors really, they kind of came
down on themselves to fit the characterbetter, you know what I'm saying.
I just didn't feel as Donkey Konge. Seth Rogan did that not completely like
(12:01):
you said it definitely, but therewas like there was moments it felt like
a Donkey kne character, but itwas moments I felt like it was more
Seth Rogan yeah than don't But yeah, but the way that you know,
I'm pretty sure that that was alreadyscript away, they already had animated or
whatever. But after listening to him, due to Don'tkan, I can't see
(12:22):
anybody else doing it because at thispoint, because there's certain points. But
I mean, even after this,like even if it was beforehand, it's
certain things that Donkey on the dudeinside of this movie, and I don't
know, his voice just made itbelievable, believable, you know what I'm
saying. Like even like at thepoint when he was messing with Mario,
(12:43):
when Mario was talking to Peach likeyou did, I don't think nobody else
could make that feel more believable,didn't Seth Rogan? Yeah, Because yeah,
when he was fighting Mario, thatwas that was a dope O saying.
I like, yo, that wholeventure they went on cat suit thy
like, oh, it was dope. Yeah, But um, I mean
compared to the first Mario movie thateverybody called a tragedy, I mean,
(13:07):
even selth throw and said this isone of the worst movies ever made.
I won't say it's the worst nowme personally kid wise, I love watching
them multiple times. The word DragonBall Evolution is hands down the worst movie.
But hot gobb it. Do youfeel like with this movie compared to
(13:30):
that one, did they redeem themself? Oh? Yeah, absolutely. You
know with the First Woman, Ithink the focus, especially at that time,
you got to remember the time periodwere in a time where it's okay
to be close to the source materialand not have to change it so much
for the movie. Then it wasyou got this version of it, then
(13:50):
you got the big screen, andthen when it comes to the big screen,
they always had to go the extramile to make it so much more
different. And I think they justwent so hard on trying to be realistic
with the Mario movie, it justit seemed unrealistic. You know. With
this one is closer to the sourcematerial, you could do so much more
(14:11):
with animation anyway, you know,it leaves you a lot more freedom to
move. The only thing I didn'tcare for was the pacing of it.
You know, the other one.It stretched out, it flushed the characters
out, a tad bit better thismovie. I'm not gonna say it didn't
flush the characters. It was justso fast. So I feel like the
way that they did this movie,they kind of really only had one way
(14:35):
to do it, which was theway that they did it. Now,
if they do another movie, Ifeel like it'd be more flushed out,
because then at that point, youknow, they already established end. I'm
thinking they did it the way theydid they just like, Okay, we
gotta establish everybody that everybody knows itloves, as far as the main group
that everyone wants to see Told Peach, Donkey Kombe. You know anybody associated
(15:00):
it with Donkey km Yeah, Bowser, the in between characters of the Mario
game that you stepping on and kickingand stuff like that. Yeah, you
know, and they did that.They definitely did that. Matter of fact,
Told was probably my favorite character.I think that that voice was yeah,
dead on it fit. I wasso skeptical about Dalwin too, and
(15:24):
now that's probably my favorite character inthere. But you know, with stuff
like that, they introduced them howthey were supposed to introduce them in this
movie. Yeah, I agree.I think the second movie, you'll get
a little bit more break especially withPeaches. It's gonna be get more breakdown.
The second move. Like the firstmovie was good, the second move
is definitely gonna be a little bitmore flushed out. Now before we get
(15:46):
to the rating, right, I'veseen comparisons to what, you know,
there's a video game adaptation, youknow what I mean. I've seen comparisons
to like the last of Mario's Mariomovie and Sonic. That's that's like apples
and oranges for me, and youknow, and it's a weird comparison because
(16:07):
Sonic is actually a live action Yeahbesides you know that. Yeah, and
they were comparing the Mario like theywas like which one is better? The
Sonic too or that it's like applefor me, it's like apples and oranges.
But yeah, it's like you yougot to stay in your lane,
Yeah, you got to. Iwould I would see if Mario did some
(16:32):
live action type stuff. It wasthat what was that? That was Mario?
Honestly, wasn't it or Universe?It was it was Mario. Yeah,
where he act he went to thatworld? Yeah, but that would
be more of weird and yeah,just that level that world showed that Yeah,
because you got regular people, regularshape people like spinning, and then
(16:52):
you got Mario coming here with alook thick ass, and you know what
I'm saying, like it just lookslike Peach. That dude was tiny.
Each pointed that out, you knowwhat I mean. But from a rating
from one to ten, what areyou giving this? Give it a solid
seven point five? Yeah, I'mgonna give it an eight. Yeah,
(17:14):
I'm gonna give it an eight.Yeah, eight eight point five. So
I'm whipping there, you know,and I probably eight more than like this
eighth because of like the weird patient. But we you know, you know
why they did that. Yeah,And I don't know, man, I
just wanted more serious moments from bousing. I think, um, the reason
I gave it a seven five isthe story. You know, I just
(17:37):
kind of wanted a little bit moremeat and potatoes to the to the story.
You know, it was good,but just felt like they could have
They had so much room to domore. You know, in movies.
We We've said this, movies areat the same length that they used to
be. You don't have to stickwithin the confines of I don't even think
it's more of that because you gotto think the target audience it's kids,
(18:00):
its children, and you understandable noillumination like this in order for them to
to give you, like more tothe story, you know what I mean,
make the story a little bit morethick, the movie would have to
be longer. Yeah, which wasI was saying. You know, we
you didn't know now we don't haveto have movies to be stuck in a
(18:21):
certain confine of space. Yeah,you know, we get movies that are
ridiculously loan. Now that shouldn't evenbe that, But you know, you
could if you need the extra spaceto do certain things that are necessary for
the story. I feel as thoughyou should just do it and and not
have to cut it off and belike, oh and try to squeeze everything
(18:45):
else in. But because there wassome stuff I felt that was just kind
of squeezed in there. But youknow, I feel like there's an easter
egg. I feel like the nextmovie they'll do better. And the only
reason I see that is because becauseof the first movie, its like test
and trial, which is exactly whatI was going to say. That's the
only comparison I would give to Sonic. The first movie is always a test
(19:07):
run and Sonic. They just happenedto do it during their trailers. Technically
speaking, with the Sonic movie,they got saved by the fans before they
they did during the trailers. That'swhat I was like. They got lucky
because the eyes and no just thecharacter in general. Oh man, matter
(19:30):
of fact, Chippingdale movie. Yeah, when they had the ugly Sonic Yeah
like they oh yeah they but seethat was the Sonic that that said everybody
off man. They saw that inthe trailer man, because I think its
eyes was crazy. It was likereal looking eyes. They were like uncanny
Valley looking ye. But see youcan understand that because it's live action to
(19:52):
the Mario isn't mean you can't messup the models because it's it's animated.
It's animated, you know what Imean. But you know, like I
said, in the live we did, this was the direction they needed to
go on. They didn't. Theydon't need to try to do any live
action. They need to stay here. But you know, there's a lot
of adaptations that should just be animated. You know, there's no reason to
(20:17):
have to try to make a liveaction of every video game and in hell
comic book movie or you know,some things just work better animated in this
particular genre, I think just worksbetter animated. I don't think it was
until somebody can figure out how todo it right. Mariyo just wouldn't fit
live action. Yeah, see,like I don't know, man, I
(20:41):
feel like it would fit live action. You gotta ask somebody to do it
right. Yeah. You have tohave the right people, not even just
doing it right, you have tohave the right people in the right roles.
Yeah, you have the right lineframe about the movie. Everybody's got
to be on every page, everybody, not even that, Like, you
have to be knowledgeable about the characterthat you're playing, the story that you
(21:03):
have to tell. Yeah, becausethere's stuff like, um, when when
people are coming to to do thismovie, do that movie, they direct
this and direct that, but don'tknow anything about character or that universe they're
doing anything. That's like, um, with the Witcher, Yeah, didn't
know nothing about No, he knewnothing. He went and wrote all the
(21:26):
wrote, read all the books,lay the game like, he went the
whole nine. Yeah, and thathe man, he's that character. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Andyou know, I just I like
more dedication like that, especially ifyou don't know the character. You know,
there's people that they hired for rolesthat literally looked like the character can
(21:47):
fit the character and just don't dothe character any type of justice and you
like you just didn't even try.You know, when you get those type
of actors that will literally dive init and just okay, this is so,
this is where I need to bedrawing my inspiration from, which is
why I felt like the characters thatMario was so um not flushed out,
but as far as their personalities,they had that on the nail, you
(22:12):
know, the each character you feltthat was that character. You know,
discrepancies here and there, but nothingthat you could really sit here and oh
and it's really nothing that you canreally knit. Yeah, it's nothing you
can really rag on that. AndI mean even with that, you know,
even even if they had like weirdcharacter like um actors and actress playing
(22:36):
these characters, you really can't sayanything because there's never been a real true
voice to any of these characters.Yeah, which honestly is what probably saved
them because I know people were talkingabout the accent and they actually, uh,
they dropped the accent, but theykind of go and tackle that in
(22:57):
a way that it's it's kind ofhumorous, you know. She hums,
it's kind yeah, it's but youknow, because we know what it is,
and yeah, hopefully that hopefully,uh, the Italians can actually laugh
at themselves, yeah and laugh atyeah you know, but you know,
some people take offense of that.That's just like the Simpson's Pool character.
(23:22):
You know, like they like thatcharacter is like like damn, there's like
black face. Yeah, black facedcharacter towards the black community. That's what
the Pool is, you know whatI mean. So you know hard with
those type of things, you know, yeah, yeah, but you know,
some some things it's like, okay, we could laugh at this,
and then some stuff is just likenah, it's cringey. Yeah, she's
(23:47):
like they but you know they theydefinitely did it at the very beginning with
the commercial. Yeah, you know, they kept it for a little bit
longer a little bit after that,and then you literally never hear the accent
again. Well, you know,it pops in and out. It's not
like nothing hard, you know.You you hear stints of it from Mario,
(24:07):
it's like real slight. Yeah,he'll be like Mama me. It's
just stuff like that, but Imean, that's stuff you hear in the
game. But you know what,I liked that they didn't cut it from
the character completely, you know whatI'm saying, because they could have did
that. You know, they sayit's gonna be a Brooklyn accent. I
know how people from Brooklyn is,and you know, he could have been
a real gut a version of Marioand they really didn't do that. I
(24:30):
don't think that they will went theround. They wouldn't never. But you
know when you hear, oh,he gonna sound like a Brooklyn, Brooklyn
civilian, you were like, Okay, I'm curious to see how this go.
And it really wasn't bad at all. It was they I think they
mixed it well. It was nicemixture. You know, it wasn't too
(24:52):
hard on the Italian stuff from thegames, which honestly we really didn't need.
And it wasn't so uh noticeable inhis accent that it just you could
tell that they're trying to force iton the character and and put everything the
exact way the game was. Theythey definitely made changes that fit the Brooklyn
(25:15):
accent fit. You know, it'sgot slight Italian in it, you know,
but we know the Italians in NewYork, and I mean he's supposed
to be but he's supposed to bea tai you know what I mean.
And you know you see that itjust's not gone. He's like in the
Mario movie, the first Mario movie, it didn't feel as though they were
both Italian. Yeah, so itis that time right now. And I'm
(25:38):
going to say and I'll give youthe warning now everybody, um, we're
getting to the part of this thisum this session. There's gonna be slight
spoilers inside of the session. Sothis is for time to leave now and
turn it off. If not,then you have been worn. We'll give
you a little bit of time nowwith a slight moment of shot. Now.
(26:00):
At the beginning of the movie,when they showed jump Man, yeah,
that was exciting for me. Lookthey showed jump Man playing jump Man.
This man was playing his own game. But you know what, they
had Nintendo games in there. Hewas Mario was playing in it in the
room, playing Nintendo game. Thatwas crazy. I don't even know what
(26:21):
game he was playing. I forgetwhat it was. It like, it
wasn't contrary, it was something gayAnd I literally just heard the name for
it the other day. But it'san actual game. Yeah, like he
was, and it was kind ofweird. It was almost like they were
trying to do some what's not fourthwall break but in a sense kind of
(26:42):
it's so weird how they had butit was just one of those East eggs
they had set a ball through manyIt was through the music there, like
Luigia's dream tone with the game queOh my god, man, look they
had that Spike yeah movie, Ye, they had references the Daisies of the
(27:04):
Kingdom, the the Luigi's Mansion joint. Actually what tripped me out, I
don't and you know you brought itto but I don't think jump Man is
related to Mario on this. Idon't think so, because he definitely wasn't
at the Identer table. He wasn'tat the Identer table. And when he
talked the Spike he was. Theyhad just they were working for Spike at
(27:26):
one point in time. They hadjust left Spikes construction thing or whatever.
Yeah, and apparently, from fromwhat you get out of the movie,
went at the Denter table getting clownedabout their clothes. Oh man, they
obviously not supposed to be wearing theseclothes. They talked about their gloves,
the white gloves, which is funnybecause I'm pretty sure that everybody was wondering,
(27:48):
now they were gonna make that fit, you know, like we got
to stand out somehow. That's thatwas funny. That was that was definitely
funny. But I appreciate that becauseI always wonder, it's like, white
gloves, Are you wearing gloves?You know what, though, I literally
think that was just a trend ofthe time period. You know, yeah,
(28:10):
Blugs, Bunny wearing white gloves,A bunch of different characters wore white
gloves. I literally think that wasjust a trend of the time that Sonic
was wearing white gloves, you know, you know what I'm saying. I
literally think that was just ray Man. But I mean, it's nice that
they dressed the elephant in the roomfacts facts. I definitely like that.
(28:34):
I kind of didn't know Mario hadsuch a big family. I did not
know here and Italian. Yeah,and I get that in highsight, but
the fact that they always inside thesame house, yeah, I don't know
if were they living there or theywas just and if I'm piecing it together,
(28:56):
he had his dad there grandfather,his mom, what else his uncle's
that I don't know. They lookjust like Luigi, but that might be
her daddy. Mama ain't telling themabout everything. They got two guys at
the table that could either be likehe said, uh illegitimate father. Mym
(29:18):
ain't telling that. They might stillbe brothers, but they could literally be
Mario or Luigi's other brothers that wejust don't know nothing about. Or they
could be the uncles and we don'tIf that's the case, we don't know.
The saying is in this whole movie, not Onceton Luigia said or daddy
Yeah. Yeah. And another thingthat's funny to me, Mario don't even
(29:44):
like mushrooms. Yeah, and he'sliterally the only one I'll take. I'll
take them. Yeah, Marios Likeshe's like, yeah, here's a power
this and he's like, that hadto be a mushroom. Oh that forcing
drugs? Done it? Do stop. They're forcing the mushroom, not his
throat. We know what that implicationwas, and the kids might not have
(30:07):
caught it, but I caught it. I'm not putting that out um,
I'm not putting that out come onwe're in the Mushroom Kingdom many got everything,
you know what, I wouldn't themind seeing what the purple mushroom want
to want? The skull. Matterof fact, speaking of the skull,
when Luigi with the Luigian's Mansion umreferences that they were doing and they showed
(30:32):
the dry bones, Yeah, thatwas actually pretty Yeah, that was that
was dope. That was pretty nice, man. I on some levels,
it was actually kind of kind offreaky. Yeah, And this movie just
throws out there that like Luigi's oldscary. Yeah, like like literally that
explains the Luigi's Mansion, why he'sscary and all that, like, you
(30:55):
know, literally him the way theyshowed it too, he's he is scar
Let's let's establish that first and foremost. But they do it in a way
it's because he's always had his bigbrother protecting him. He's never really had
like how much old babies. Yeah, they really looked like they could have
been twins. I mean they werebabies together inside of the flashback whether they
(31:18):
call them, uh was the babyMario bros. Yeah, that was a
reference inside of the paternal twins.I think it's called where you know they
don't look alike or maybe or maybeyou know, like I said, Mama
ain't telling them about everything. Theirstories back to back, but there are
(31:41):
stories in real life. Yeah,mother cheats on husband, or mother cheats
on boyfriend, have twins and kidshas different father. You know, I
actually know a situation of that,So I do believe that. Yeah.
Well, seeing that that was said, the guy asked the table look look
(32:06):
just like Luigi because when the moon, when it first came up, and
it was at the dinner table.Part, I like, okay, Mario
looked like his mom. And Isaw the guy and then the other guy
started talking. It's like, oh, you did this. You're taking your
brother with you. And I'm like, okay, that's that's the daddy.
So who does Luigi look like?And it's like, that is you.
(32:28):
You was in the house. Youwas in the room somewhere eating mama's cannoli.
Not the cannoli, yeah man,not the cannoli. Bro Oh my
god. But yeah, some definitelymoments and then you know, my wife,
(32:49):
guy man, and we kept talkingabout this part over and over that
damn blueshell, Oh my god,you can't get away from what I do.
Who think I expected them to turnthe blue shell into a whole ass
character. That was trippy for me, and when that's always been a character,
(33:09):
but you know, you know,I've never paid attention to it like
that. I guess maybe in thein the actual Mario games by itself,
he is in the Mario Kart thing. It's just a blue ship. He's
just a blue shower up you get. Yeah, and it was trippy to
see that, um the power uplike like when he actually did it,
(33:30):
it's whirled around him just like inthe game. Yeah. Well, and
then you know, it was niceseeing a Rainbow Road. And I didn't
know that you can break Rainbow Road. Apparently you can very easily too.
I didn't even know how they gonnafix it. That's like some some thor
the way they broke. Yeah,they really did. And then, um,
(33:51):
apparently inside of the New Nintendo Universe, Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's father.
Man that it's trippy and not hisuncle, which is which is wild.
And I don't think Donkey Kong isa teenager, and I think he's
actually an adult. He's a he'sa man child. He's a man child,
but he's he's a gorilla chimp.However, you would put on what
(34:16):
species that that dude is. Idon't know if he a big old,
but it's like, so what isDiddy called? He's a monkey, he's
a champion. They related, Bro, I don't even know if they are,
because he definitely didn't treat Diddy Conelike that. Especially you did.
Everybody shut, So that goes foryou too, That especially goes for you.
(34:40):
Oh man, shut did I ain'texpect to see him. That shirped
me out. So all of themrelated, because like, all them related,
because like if I make Kingdom broseem like everybody's last name is calm,
Yeah, because the whole land isthe Kong Island or yeah, the
land of the Kong. Yeah yeah, but you, like I said,
(35:00):
it seemed like a primate island.It's a bunch of different type of monkeys
and and guerrillas. And I wonderwhat the chances of seeing King Kong the
cone of the cones. The congeis conge of the conge. The congy
is cone that ever cong in thecongo. And then out of all of
that, Donkey Kong is still theking. Give the com man. Look,
(35:24):
crank cranky Kong is the king ofright. That's right, but you
know what, he not as oldeither, and because in the series I
remember him being a tad bit older. He's old, yeah, I mean
he oldness, but he not.No, he's on. Don't let the
animation for he's old, all right. He just ain't over here cranking old
(35:45):
record player. No, and hea lot more lively. I appreciate them,
um keeping the Donkey Kong rap songfrom Donkey Kong sixty four, Yeah,
they kept, literally they kept.But I've heard the god the original
maker of that song. I've seenum well, I read something. He
(36:06):
came across my phone screen. Theysaid he didn't get credit for that inside
of the credits, that he didn'tget credit for that song. It maybe
it's because they made it sound different. I mean they changed the music.
You can see they remixed the subtletones of the stuff that we knew.
But it was it's literally the exactsame thing. It's just like a remixed
(36:27):
version of every song. Yeah.And then you know with the the the
Coopers and and the uh the goonbus and whatever that thing is. Yeah,
you know now that you bring upthe cool the Coopers and stuff.
I like how they did h thebows of the situation that always confused me
about his name. Yeah, Iused to think his name was King Cooper,
(36:52):
and then I never knew if itwas Bowser or King Cooper, and
I thought maybe there was two separatecreatures. So the way they explained it,
like you said, he's the Kingof the Coopers, he is the
King Cooper. You know that's that'sliterally a title because all of them are
Coopers. All of them are turtles. Remember he even said that the marks
(37:13):
like oh he was like he waslike and she like they said, you're
gonna tell me that turtles turtles?Not even like no, no, actually
like yeah, come to brook andI bought you. Oh, man,
Mario was dropping game. He wastrying to like, this is you flirt
o man? Talk about oh asaulting somebody trying to be nice. Donkey
(37:39):
call was a whole hater in thatmoment. He really threw a sault in
that man game. Bowser is thetrue man. Matter of fact, the
bout pretty much. The Bowser thatyou get in this movie is the Bowser
from Hodyssey. Yeah, from Hoardyssey, the one that is trying to force
peace to marry And that's exactly whatit is. And whole Yeah, they
even even wear the suit. Yeah, and she had to dress on so
(38:01):
yeah. Ye, there's a lotof references in this, and I appreciate
those references. You know, he'sI think, always wanted to marry Peach
though, Yeah, I think so. But at the same time, like
they could have made him more Bowserbowser, you know what I mean,
Like I didn't expect Bowser to bethis nice to the Cooper's. Yeah,
(38:21):
because he was ridiculous that up untilhe torched one of them and turned him
into a dry ball. He wasmore nice to his enemies than the Cooper's.
Yeah, yeah, then you andnow I appreciate when he was playing
a piano after the Peaches Peaches,Peaches, it's just paches, pitches peaches.
You know that old name exactly,you know, just ran Now,
(38:45):
now you have to live with thefact that your children are going to be
singing Peaches, Peaches, Peaches,knowing that this could possibly be a scripper's
name. So you're welcome, You'rewelcome. But oh yeah, that that
definitely but no that stuff so,um, which what is it? It's
one of the underground worlds, thesub worlds. Oh, he went to
(39:07):
playing that joint of the Yeah,I know, he told the come play
with it. Yeah, he waslike, come jam women. Know what's
the dude name the magician Cooper?Yeah, the wizard, the Wizard Cooper.
Yeah yeah, and he and hewas he was playing his little notes
on the side of But it wasit was cool. I like how they
did all of that. They keptjust about everything from every game, and
(39:30):
I mean everything. If you didn'tsee it on the second watch, you're
properly find it. Man, thesecond the second watch, you're definitely picking
up different stuff. Definitely you're throwingthe Leonardo dicaprioles that yeah, that means
that. Yeah, yeah, you'recatching everything that second time. The third
(39:52):
time it's like, oh that wasthere too, huh yeah yeah, And
you know, you just started noticingstuff that wile like, I wish they
really kind of explored the place theywere in a little bit more. It
just felt like immediately as soon asyou fall through the pipe, which they
don't even explain how that whole undertunnel system exists, and nobody knew about
(40:14):
it, nobody stumbled on it beforeyou know, it's it's just there.
And then they get to the mushroomKingdom immediately told there, oh, I
know your issue. Now we gottago see the princess. And they zoomed
through the city. Yeah. Imean, but you know that that right
there, just like you said,it was a problem with the patient and
(40:35):
the store, you know what Imean. It don't take away that the
movies. No, no, itdon't take away at all. But it
was definitely speedy. Yeah, itwas definitely speedy. Like they didn't waste
no time. They didn't talk atall. They was like okay, and
Mario he was like, I'm rich, you I just gotta go save my
brother. That's my only concern atthis point. Yeah. And then you
know, eventually he saw Peach andyou know the rest of the store.
(40:59):
Yeah, and even they like,I don't know, it shocked me that
they just turned this whole. Idon't know. The way she was it
reminded me kind of um, youknow Trek the Third yea when all the
processes. Yeah, that's what Itold you. They were gonna do it
in the live. They was gonnaDaphne this character, and they they do
(41:22):
this a lot. Did but likeI said, she was gonna get kitched.
Yeah she did. She did.He ended up getting out by myself
with the help of Toad. Anddon't know how if they were just gonna
let Toad walk around free, whatwas the purpose of them taking them?
I don't know. I do notknow. Being up ball man, that
(41:44):
god dang stars. Oh finally,Mercy was right here talking brother Pink was
like, bro, what is wrongwith you? Shut up? Said that
wasn't that dog on thing? Say? It was like, uh, death
and the only thing as real asdeath and something that that thing was crazy.
Yeah, man, that thing wascrazy and that that was some dark
(42:08):
humor coming from that star man.Look even at the end, Oh that's
the end. That's the end ofit, or is it? Or is
it just yeah? Man? Iwas like, look, look, man,
another another favorite character on mine.I definitely say between him and told
they did it for me. Theycould not have had the movie without them.
(42:30):
They could they could have did theytold without the star Yeah, but
because without told no, it wouldhave because told us the guy. He's
always the guy of the game.He's literally, no, always the guy.
I ain't think about it that one. Yeah, literally, yeah,
yeah, he was the guy.I don't know what was up with the
(42:51):
whole cooking joint. But yeah,that was weird. It might have been
in the game was it might havebeen, but I have to go back
because that's they legit was spoop.Once he pulled out that frying man,
he started cooking. He said,what you want, anything you want,
I'm cooking it. What bridges withthe whipper like man? He had the
backpack. Yeah, man, hewas out there stir frying and all this
(43:14):
crap. Brother crazy told different,he built different. He the only one
that wear a different colored jacket.Man, we did. Yeah, bro,
Now you read and wearing blue manebody. You know what blue and goal?
I don't even think that's yellow.Yeah. In facts, he was
definitely most wagged than the rest ofthe mudroom. He had the backpack from
(43:36):
the told game. Yeah man.Even even when he pulled up in his
ain't mussle truck of a gold cart. Man, I thought the goal.
I thought the call was gonna flyoff on him. He was sitting there.
You know, got they ain't showedboating with the shades on. Dude
gave no remorse for them. Whenhe hopped in that gold cart. He
was tossing them around. That wasactually cool too. I did not think
(44:00):
they were gonna make it the soleplace where the gold cards get made.
Yeah, yeah, you're talking aboutthen, yeah, yeah, but then
it's kind of weird because I meanbows ahead gold cards too. Yeah.
I guess he did well. Maybehe got his own manufacturing company out in
the dark Lands. But the waythey made it seem like the cons are
the one who do all the goldcard racing and stuff like that. You
(44:22):
know, they that's they specialty.Yeah. And then hopefully, like I
said, hopefully that's a reference tothe Diddy cone racing because I wouldn't mind
getting like an updated version of that, even if they put the old one
on the switch, I would playit. Honestly, I'm expecting a lot
of updated games after this. Idon't think so. I am. I'm
(44:43):
expecting a lot of updates special becausewhen you do that, it turns into
a video movie video game, andwhen you you know, movie video games,
Yeah they don't they don't have agood track history date, but they
really don't be good because you atthat point you had to start what makes
this so different? Though? Youknow, it's already a video game,
(45:04):
and they don't have to follow thestory that they've given us in this one.
The only thing it depends on whatthe picture is. That's that's good
point. The only thing I reallywanted them to update is really just how
to the visuals look, you know, that's the only thing. But I
mean they carried to the movie withthe hardware. I wouldn't say that.
Man, the hardware is always goinggetting better, yeah, but not with
(45:27):
Nintendo. You gotta think, whendid this switch come out? Was it
the PS four ever? It's aPS four ever, right, there's a
new system. Yeah it a matterof fact, was it or was it
the PS three era that the switchcame out? Had been had to been
like right after the PS three thethree came out, the week came out
during the three era? I thought, I think so it did, yeah,
(45:49):
I think, And then we gotbut the switch came out like right
there towards the beginning of the PSfour and the Xbox one one, you
know what I mean. And it'sstill here. There's new systems. Yeah,
so, but you know they're behind. I think. The only thing
would Nintendo is you don't have todo too much changes. We just want
(46:14):
them, you know, No,there's no you don't have to They have
to. They have to. They'vebeen operating off the same formula tweaks from
the most recent Pokemon game. Theyneed hardware updates, not for Mario though.
They were getting off for Mario games. That is for now. If
(46:36):
they were to release another Mario game, they would have to do something different.
They would have to which is tobe off the back of this movie
is the expatitions. Expectations would betoo high. I mean even like,
I mean, who's to say thatthe new Zelda game that's coming out is
actually gonna run? Well, youknow, we don't know until we get
our hands on. It might betoo much for the system. Yeah,
we don't know, you know whatI mean. And we were just talking
(46:59):
about Zelda because I could see ayou know, a live movie of that
if they do live. I thinkNintendo realized, like this animation, the
animation is their niche animation is definitelytheir way. Yeah, for DC would
have realized that. But yeah,but you know, they trying to compete
with the MCU. Yeah, youknow what I mean, handing their cartoons
(47:22):
are more adult it with DCU.I'm gonna get off topic for a quick
little minute. Then we're gonna goright back. So with the DCU,
their issue is they don't plan outtheir movies. No, no, they
don't. They just throw like,huh, I like this character, let's
do it. I mean, yeah, let's use this. This is a
good character. You don't connect tothis one, there's no way but do
(47:43):
a movie, and we're not gonnatry to make connections between. In fact,
we're got leave the inconsistencies. Likeyou you never got a Sightboard movie,
which is way overdue. I meanit's now getting movie and it's not
even the origin Flashing Blue Beetle moviebefore the Sideboard movie, the Blue Beetle.
(48:04):
Don't get me wrong, I wantto see that Blue Beetle movie,
but come on, I think Sideboarddefinitely earned one way before that, and
they've been butchering the character for yearsnow outside of animaztion me. How I
feel about Static Shock? Oh yeah, that that one. Definitely. That's
another one. If you're gonna pullan obscure character used the Static Shock character
(48:24):
man, they got a whole Dakotauniverse where he got a fleshed out road
gallery of villains and stuff like that. Beyond Batman. To me, Static
Shock is probably one of the mostinteresting characters. Yeah, you know,
and then after that green Landing,but I've only recently gotten to that.
(48:45):
Yeah, but back to the smartand movie now, in fact, right
we got we apologize but for theinconvenience. Um, I definitely like,
like, not only do I seea sequel coming from this movie, I
see I Luigi's matching coming from thismovie. You see a Peach story coming
from this movie. Um, definitelya Donkey Kong movie coming from this movie.
(49:08):
Hell, the way they did Diddy, he might get a solo story.
I don't think. I don't thinkif they give Diddy Kong a solo
story is strictly a comedy, ohman, but it'll it'll be off the
back of Donkey car. I thinkI think Diddy could get his own solo
story. If the only the onlyway Diddy Konge would get a movie,
it would be him a Donkey Kongand it would be some semi similar to
(49:31):
how those games were. And theway I've seen it, they'll do it
like you said, They'll do theDonkey Kong movie, bring Diddy into the
next one, and then after theyget around, they don't even have to
bring him. They could literally hecould just be there be or yeah he
can already be caught. Mean theyreally already introduced him. Yeah, they
really did, and you could telllike he is God damn nut juggled,
(49:54):
don't gone nuts? I can.I can literally see them spending Diddy did
he called off the back of DonkeyKong once they do it, you know,
in me personally, I actually likedthat he knee and it's good to
see them actually do something and mentionhim. You know, they had him
in marial party. Yeah, butthat's that's about it. Like he was
(50:15):
not in Marial Kart like nothing,you know what I mean. So it's
good to see them trying to implementhim, you know. You know,
I was kind of disappointed they didn'thave the rest of the Kong family inside
of them. They didn't you knowwhat I mean. They didn't have Tiny
Kong lanky Kong, but they couldbe and we just don't know, you
know, they just didn't introduce him, No because lanky Konge. Is it
(50:37):
a ranger Tang? But that wasI didn't see in a ranger tang,
you know. But it's it's anApe city, you know, you never
know. Imall chimpanzee with blonde ponytailsneither like I said, it's it's a
it's a big universe kongs galore,but yeah or yeah, there, it
(50:58):
was a lot of them. Itwas a lot of and we didn't,
like he said, we didn't seethe ones that we wanted to see,
going crazy with um for Donkey Kongum man, all of the power us
man. They even had the powerwhere Mario shrinks, Yeah, which was
funny. Yeah, he plunked them, man, But it was weird to
(51:21):
me. Here's here's what was weirdto me, because when the movie first
started and they you know, theygot that call, yeah, go to
that big that big crib to doplumbing. The way he was doing this
gymnasium crap. Oh man, itseemed like he already When I saw him
do that, I thought he wasgonna fly through that obstacle. Course when
(51:43):
Peach took me too, because it'slike, okay, you technically already the
way they alluded to it, theymade it seem like Mario really already kind
of got the sun. All hegot to do is kind of sharpen his
tools. And you know, theyalways painted Mario as this fat lumber man.
This man is very man very Hea little chunky in there, but
(52:04):
he is. If he's a littlechunky, he's in shape. Man,
He's definitely in shape. Hey,but they showed Mario was always the aggressive
and he has a ridiculous level ofconfidence. Yeah, ridiculous, ridiculous level
of confidence. Like you know,some games they showed Luigi with that confidence.
(52:27):
But at the same time they doshow him like they gave it all.
Not not in the movie, butin certain games he has some kind
of confidence. Yeah, but inthis movie it's like, nah, this
is who he is. Well,at the end he kind of apped it
up. I mean, yeah,but he was at the end. That
was more of the Luigia. I'mkind of used to see it, seeing
(52:49):
he was with his brother. Youknow, they did a double switch up.
It was gonna be the damsel indistress. Yeah, yeah, because
he really could have just let Marioget torch. Yeah, had he not
shown up with that manhole cover.Honestly, he could have Bowser could have
killed Luigi way off into the movie. I don't even see how he got
(53:09):
cant called me neither, because hereally could have got away. He could
have got a win, But heended up in that mansion. I know
those uh Luigi mansion, Yeah,which was so mean. You didn't see
any of the ghosts or nothing likethat, but he definitely they let you
know, I thought was gonna popup, but you know, they let
(53:30):
you know Luigi's mansions coming because yeah, they were flying off with Luigi.
He kept looking at the man mansionand they showed it. When he was
a kid, he built a littleblock mansion. Yeah that was damned near
identical to the one he had justleft. You know, they definitely planning
for Luigi's mansion, most different,which would be a good one. I
(53:50):
would be down for that. Butyou know, Luigi, they painted him
out to be this or they didn'tshow the ghost in the house, but
they showed those I forget what thosecharacters they wear the ghost mask, like
the ghost face man, I forgotthe character. But yeah, but they
popped the Red Ones with the ghostface and so they were like this a
Coultic group in there almost and theysnatched him up. But they never alluded
(54:15):
to them working for Bowser up untilthat point. You know, it was
weird how they did well. Iwas I would suppose that everybody in the
dark Lands. Yeah, that justit's like Bousers, that guy. Yeah,
you know, and you know theykind of had some instances with Bowser
where they showed like, all right, this is Bowser. Like when they
(54:37):
was playing the piano, he slammed, It's like, can I lift it
up? It's like nah, yeah, you know, he said something about
pain or whatever. Here let it, let it, you know, just
save her the pain for a littleminute. But yeah, you know,
yeah, he was real messed upto that wizard because he left that thing
right. He was like, okay, it's like, man, I'm gonna
(54:59):
lift the sta He messed up.And then when he found out that that
piece was really feeling, Mario manjust just blind with rage, especially towards
the end when the um the weddingdidn't go as playing. He saw peach
Mario Man blood shot, red eyes. Oh yeah, flames, blood shot.
Not happy. Nah. But enoughwith spoilers. You know, Uh,

(01:08):
were you really surprised with anything inthe movie. You have to see
the trailers, surprise. No,I think we got everything far as easter
egg wise, you know, allthe stuff we was planning on seeing and
they're from from whatever game title thatSuper Mario is released over the years,
it's probably in there. I mean, like within the first ten minutes we
(01:33):
saw Easter Eggs on East Eggs.It's probably thousands of East Eggs in this
movie alone. Yeah. Yeah.And you know what stuck stood out to
me as soon as I watched themovie was the art style. Oh yeah,
most definitely. Yeah. And Ithink that's more because you know,
I usually play just about every Mariogame that comes out. Yeah, And
I was like, Man, ifthey make a Mario game that looks like
(01:53):
this, I'm telling you, ifthey don't update the next Mario game officially,
oh, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Well, I mean when Artyssey
came out, Ardyssey was like thepeak, the peak of it. But
you know what, when you bringup the art style of this movie,
when you look at it visually,this is nothing like you've seen as far
(02:15):
as an animated movie from a videogame anyway. You know, with this
one, it almost reminds me.The vibrant colors and the statis almost reminds
me of some of the later MCUfilms and how they real brightened stuff like
that in the background. Because weget a lot of good visuals from stuff
(02:35):
like that. In this movie,that they took that art style and made
it their own illumination, definitely gotan A plus for that one, right,
right, So I saw that youjust mentioned the MCU. Would you
compare like maybe the upcoming Mario universethat or more than likely happened to them
to you, Oh, it's definitelyuniverse building. It's definitely universe building.
(02:57):
I don't know if they're gonna goto the extent that the MCU and DC
trying to do, but they definitelyplanned on doing a whole lot more lower
building. You know, they evendropped a few bomb shells. Actually,
you know what, I take thatback. There was some surprises because I'm
not gonna go deep into it,but you know, Peaches Origin it kind
of got touched on a little bit. I wanted them to go deeper into
(03:20):
that, but the way they approachedit surprised me. Yeah, they touched
it like very slightly, like theygave you just a little bit just for
you to want more. Like ohman, okay, I always wondered about
that because yeah, when you thinkabout it, you know, she's well,
it wasn't more of like like becauseof you know who she is,
and she looked different than everybody else. It was just the fact of in
the movie her reaction when she sawMario. Yeah, kind of like had
(03:44):
you the huh okay, so what'sup? Yeah? But yeah yeah.
And then you know, with allthe references in the movies, like there's
the definitely other movies coming up,because they had a reference all over from
Luigi having references. Then you hadyeah, you got Yoshi as actually it
was but two of them. Thein credit scene and that was a scene
(04:05):
where they went through the Little YoshiLand or is that what they calling it?
Yeah, oh yeah, that justhappened. But never, nothing's not
here nor there. Well it's notreally a spoiler. It's not really a
spoiler. The end credit scene isall over the internet. That's neither here
nor there. But the story,how how did you feel about the story?
(04:30):
Did you feel like the story wentto too slow too fast? Because
I I me personally, I feltlike the story's pacing was okay up to
a certain point where it seemed likeeverything was just coming rapid fire. And
you know that's how literally how Ifelt about the whole movie. It was
just so fast. Story wise,I felt like it was kind of the
(04:53):
same story we had always got Meremario, you know, slight differences, slight
changes, you know, to freshenit up. But at the same time,
it was already kind of expected togo that way. Uh, story
wise, I won't say it itwas hollow. It was. It wasn't
a bad story, you know,it's it's easy to follow, it's fun
(05:15):
to follow for the most part,you know, but it it was left,
it could have been more. Itcould have been a little bit more
to it got you, you know, it just I mean they gave you,
like certain flashbacks. Yeah, theygave you certain flashbacks to add to
it just a little bit, justa little bit, which I mean wouldn't
make the story not bad, youknow what I'm saying. I mean,
even with those flashbacks, you reallydidn't need them. Yeah, but like,
(05:40):
um, like there's there's uh I'mstuck. Yeah, I'm stuck.
I forgot what I was gonna say. So then so then you have um
Jack Black as Bowser actually like hisBowser. But at the same time,
I feel like they kind of madeBowser a little too like playful. I
(06:00):
agree with that. Yeah, yeah, you know, which is crazy because
he had moments where it was likeoh yeah, yeah Bowser, Yeah,
yeah, like you he definitely knewthe character, like you can tell,
like he he actually understands the wholeMario Bowsing everything concept. It's just the
way that they, yeah, theythe way that they approached it. Eventually
(06:25):
they that comedy portion came out ofwhich and we said that was going to
happen. But the moments were Bowserwas serious. Yeah it was. It
was definitely Bowsing. And you knownow that you mentioned it, you know,
like like you did, we didsay it was gone come out.
They managed to suppress it a lot. Yeah, they they they must have
(06:46):
been fighting behind the scenes, likeall right, we can't have you going
Jack Jet Jack Black all over theyou know, all over the movie.
But I mean the way the wayhe approached Yeah, Bouser, I don't
think that he necessarily wanted to takethat route. It was more of you
know, what they gave him becauseyou know, it's I mean, it's
Jack Black, and but E didn'twant him to overly do his Jack Black
(07:11):
thing because you know, this isa separate character. And I don't mind
it being humor here and there,but I didn't want it to drown out
to carry one and there was momentswe didn't need from Bowser. Yeah,
but then you know, I mean, just like with Seth Rogan, with
Dunkoan, I said something about thatand the you know, the live we
went on. But I don't mindhis Donkey Kong. And one of the
(07:33):
main reasons I don't see why anybodyshould mind it is because, like,
you only really had one true voicefor Dunke Kong, and it's that's that
old series. Yeah, and it'sDaniel similar to what he gave you,
you know what I mean, itjust doesn't Yeah, he didn't do like
a voice of pressure. Yeah,but he really didn't have to because Dunkey
(07:54):
Konge really didn't have a voice true. I mean, when you go back
to all of these Mario games,Yeah, literally, the only one that
actually had a voice was probably likePeach when she called Mario. Everything else
is uh well, and Mario hada little slight voice, but it wasn't
no like actual voice acting. Youalways have to read, just like Gazelle.
(08:16):
But you know, the voices andMario kind of grew over time.
You know that voices wasn't always athing with Mario. Yeah, so that
that that grew over time, soI can get where they were like,
Oh, it doesn't necessarily matter whowe have voice in it. We could
we could make it work. Youknow, my only beef with Donkey Konge
(08:39):
is I felt like it didn't feelas gorilla as I thought it was gone.
But like I said, though,I mean when you when you look
at these Donkey konges, you onlygot that one references. No, it's
like when you look at these DonkeyKonge games, and then when you look
at um, like the old showsand stuff like that, he's it seems
like he's supposed to be a teenager. Yeah, so I don't think he's
(09:01):
grown. And then there's another issueI had with the whole Donkey Konge thing.
I'm not gonna get into it,at least not yet. But yeah,
that was totally different from what Ialready knew about Donkey. Yeah,
there was. There was definitely somesome Laura change. Yeah, you know,
not everything is the same, butI expected that. You know,
(09:22):
these characters aren't going to be staggnant. They have to develop and grow and
change and and if they want tocontinue to make these movies and stories.
They're gonna have to do that,so they're gonna have to make certain changes
that are necessary. You know.It's like, but to go back on
the Donkey Konge thing. You know, like I said when I say I
(09:43):
wanted it more Gorilla, not necessarilythat he couldn't be a youthful teenager or
whatever or playful on certain levels.It just felt like, you want to
have a little more serious terms.Yeah, it not even so, it
just kind of I felt like itwas it was Seth. I couldn't really
look past it. There was momentswhere it didn't feel that way, but
(10:07):
there were more moments where it didthan than it didn't, you know what
I'm saying, Especially like a matterof fact, you pointed out in the
Theater of the laugh it was it'siconic. You immediately know that's Seth.
The other characters, the way theyvoiced them out, you really can't tell.
When you listening to Mario. Youdon't be like, oh, that's
(10:28):
Chris Pratt right there. You youyou pretty much involved in to the fact
that that's Mario. The same withLuigi Peach bows up until you know certain
points. Yeah, yeah, youknow. So it's but like I said,
I don't mind it because besides theold series, yeah, the Donkey
Kong Country series. Yeah, thisright is literally like they knew the only
(10:52):
in first voice. And then evenwith the old series, the voices sound.
I don't think he didn't have asuper deep voice. And he did
have like this this like persona abouthim when he talked inside of that series
like he was young. So yeah, it all matches up, you know
(11:15):
what I mean. Now, Idon't know about to laugh, but he
I don't know, man, Idon't know. Man. I like Seth
Rogan, I like self too.It just felt like, I mean,
he only didn't laugh one. Yeah, it just felt like that here.
It just seared through the character.But I mean even even though he kept
the laugh, which in you know, he told everybody that before the movie
(11:37):
came out, like you're getting me, I'm just Donkey Konge. But even
though that is the case, Yeah, he really dumped down that laugh he
did. It wasn't as strong asall actors really, they kind of came
down on themselves to fit the characterbetter, you know what I'm saying.
I just didn't feel as Donkey Konge. Seth Rogan did that not completely like
(12:01):
you said it definitely, but therewas like there was moments it felt like
a Donkey kne character, but itwas moments I felt like it was more
Seth Rogan yeah than don't But yeah, but the way that you know,
I'm pretty sure that that was alreadyscript away, they already had animated or
whatever. But after listening to him, due to Don'tkan, I can't see
(12:22):
anybody else doing it because at thispoint, because there's certain points. But
I mean, even after this,like even if it was beforehand, it's
certain things that Donkey on the dudeinside of this movie, and I don't
know, his voice just made itbelievable, believable, you know what I'm
saying. Like even like at thepoint when he was messing with Mario,
(12:43):
when Mario was talking to Peach likeyou did, I don't think nobody else
could make that feel more believable,didn't Seth Rogan? Yeah, Because yeah,
when he was fighting Mario, thatwas that was a dope O saying.
I like, yo, that wholeventure they went on cat suit thy
like, oh, it was dope. Yeah, But um, I mean
compared to the first Mario movie thateverybody called a tragedy, I mean,
(13:07):
even selth throw and said this isone of the worst movies ever made.
I won't say it's the worst nowme personally kid wise, I love watching
them multiple times. The word DragonBall Evolution is hands down the worst movie.
But hot gobb it. Do youfeel like with this movie compared to
(13:30):
that one, did they redeem themself? Oh? Yeah, absolutely. You
know with the First Woman, Ithink the focus, especially at that time,
you got to remember the time periodwere in a time where it's okay
to be close to the source materialand not have to change it so much
for the movie. Then it wasyou got this version of it, then
(13:50):
you got the big screen, andthen when it comes to the big screen,
they always had to go the extramile to make it so much more
different. And I think they justwent so hard on trying to be realistic
with the Mario movie, it justit seemed unrealistic. You know. With
this one is closer to the sourcematerial, you could do so much more
(14:11):
with animation anyway, you know,it leaves you a lot more freedom to
move. The only thing I didn'tcare for was the pacing of it.
You know, the other one.It stretched out, it flushed the characters
out, a tad bit better thismovie. I'm not gonna say it didn't
flush the characters. It was justso fast. So I feel like the
way that they did this movie,they kind of really only had one way
(14:35):
to do it, which was theway that they did it. Now,
if they do another movie, Ifeel like it'd be more flushed out,
because then at that point, youknow, they already established end. I'm
thinking they did it the way theydid they just like, Okay, we
gotta establish everybody that everybody knows itloves, as far as the main group
that everyone wants to see Told Peach, Donkey Kombe. You know anybody associated
(15:00):
it with Donkey km Yeah, Bowser, the in between characters of the Mario
game that you stepping on and kickingand stuff like that. Yeah, you
know, and they did that.They definitely did that. Matter of fact,
Told was probably my favorite character.I think that that voice was yeah,
dead on it fit. I wasso skeptical about Dalwin too, and
(15:24):
now that's probably my favorite character inthere. But you know, with stuff
like that, they introduced them howthey were supposed to introduce them in this
movie. Yeah, I agree.I think the second movie, you'll get
a little bit more break especially withPeaches. It's gonna be get more breakdown.
The second move. Like the firstmovie was good, the second move
is definitely gonna be a little bitmore flushed out. Now before we get
(15:46):
to the rating, right, I'veseen comparisons to what, you know,
there's a video game adaptation, youknow what I mean. I've seen comparisons
to like the last of Mario's Mariomovie and Sonic. That's that's like apples
and oranges for me, and youknow, and it's a weird comparison because
(16:07):
Sonic is actually a live action Yeahbesides you know that. Yeah, and
they were comparing the Mario like theywas like which one is better? The
Sonic too or that it's like applefor me, it's like apples and oranges.
But yeah, it's like you yougot to stay in your lane,
Yeah, you got to. Iwould I would see if Mario did some
(16:32):
live action type stuff. It wasthat what was that? That was Mario?
Honestly, wasn't it or Universe?It was it was Mario. Yeah,
where he act he went to thatworld? Yeah, but that would
be more of weird and yeah,just that level that world showed that Yeah,
because you got regular people, regularshape people like spinning, and then
(16:52):
you got Mario coming here with alook thick ass, and you know what
I'm saying, like it just lookslike Peach. That dude was tiny.
Each pointed that out, you knowwhat I mean. But from a rating
from one to ten, what areyou giving this? Give it a solid
seven point five? Yeah, I'mgonna give it an eight. Yeah,
(17:14):
I'm gonna give it an eight.Yeah, eight eight point five. So
I'm whipping there, you know,and I probably eight more than like this
eighth because of like the weird patient. But we you know, you know
why they did that. Yeah,And I don't know, man, I
just wanted more serious moments from bousing. I think, um, the reason
I gave it a seven five isthe story. You know, I just
(17:37):
kind of wanted a little bit moremeat and potatoes to the to the story.
You know, it was good,but just felt like they could have
They had so much room to domore. You know, in movies.
We We've said this, movies areat the same length that they used to
be. You don't have to stickwithin the confines of I don't even think
it's more of that because you gotto think the target audience it's kids,
(18:00):
its children, and you understandable noillumination like this in order for them to
to give you, like more tothe story, you know what I mean,
make the story a little bit morethick, the movie would have to
be longer. Yeah, which wasI was saying. You know, we
you didn't know now we don't haveto have movies to be stuck in a
(18:21):
certain confine of space. Yeah,you know, we get movies that are
ridiculously loan. Now that shouldn't evenbe that, But you know, you
could if you need the extra spaceto do certain things that are necessary for
the story. I feel as thoughyou should just do it and and not
have to cut it off and belike, oh and try to squeeze everything
(18:45):
else in. But because there wassome stuff I felt that was just kind
of squeezed in there. But youknow, I feel like there's an easter
egg. I feel like the nextmovie they'll do better. And the only
reason I see that is because becauseof the first movie, its like test
and trial, which is exactly whatI was going to say. That's the
only comparison I would give to Sonic. The first movie is always a test
(19:07):
run and Sonic. They just happenedto do it during their trailers. Technically
speaking, with the Sonic movie,they got saved by the fans before they
they did during the trailers. That'swhat I was like. They got lucky
because the eyes and no just thecharacter in general. Oh man, matter
(19:30):
of fact, Chippingdale movie. Yeah, when they had the ugly Sonic Yeah
like they oh yeah they but seethat was the Sonic that that said everybody
off man. They saw that inthe trailer man, because I think its
eyes was crazy. It was likereal looking eyes. They were like uncanny
Valley looking ye. But see youcan understand that because it's live action to
(19:52):
the Mario isn't mean you can't messup the models because it's it's animated.
It's animated, you know what Imean. But you know, like I
said, in the live we did, this was the direction they needed to
go on. They didn't. Theydon't need to try to do any live
action. They need to stay here. But you know, there's a lot
of adaptations that should just be animated. You know, there's no reason to
(20:17):
have to try to make a liveaction of every video game and in hell
comic book movie or you know,some things just work better animated in this
particular genre, I think just worksbetter animated. I don't think it was
until somebody can figure out how todo it right. Mariyo just wouldn't fit
live action. Yeah, see,like I don't know, man, I
(20:41):
feel like it would fit live action. You gotta ask somebody to do it
right. Yeah. You have tohave the right people, not even just
doing it right, you have tohave the right people in the right roles.
Yeah, you have the right lineframe about the movie. Everybody's got
to be on every page, everybody, not even that, Like, you
have to be knowledgeable about the characterthat you're playing, the story that you
(21:03):
have to tell. Yeah, becausethere's stuff like, um, when when
people are coming to to do thismovie, do that movie, they direct
this and direct that, but don'tknow anything about character or that universe they're
doing anything. That's like, um, with the Witcher, Yeah, didn't
know nothing about No, he knewnothing. He went and wrote all the
(21:26):
wrote, read all the books,lay the game like, he went the
whole nine. Yeah, and thathe man, he's that character. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Andyou know, I just I like
more dedication like that, especially ifyou don't know the character. You know,
there's people that they hired for rolesthat literally looked like the character can
(21:47):
fit the character and just don't dothe character any type of justice and you
like you just didn't even try.You know, when you get those type
of actors that will literally dive init and just okay, this is so,
this is where I need to bedrawing my inspiration from, which is
why I felt like the characters thatMario was so um not flushed out,
but as far as their personalities,they had that on the nail, you
(22:12):
know, the each character you feltthat was that character. You know,
discrepancies here and there, but nothingthat you could really sit here and oh
and it's really nothing that you canreally knit. Yeah, it's nothing you
can really rag on that. AndI mean even with that, you know,
even even if they had like weirdcharacter like um actors and actress playing
(22:36):
these characters, you really can't sayanything because there's never been a real true
voice to any of these characters.Yeah, which honestly is what probably saved
them because I know people were talkingabout the accent and they actually, uh,
they dropped the accent, but theykind of go and tackle that in
(22:57):
a way that it's it's kind ofhumorous, you know. She hums,
it's kind yeah, it's but youknow, because we know what it is,
and yeah, hopefully that hopefully,uh, the Italians can actually laugh
at themselves, yeah and laugh atyeah you know, but you know,
some people take offense of that.That's just like the Simpson's Pool character.
(23:22):
You know, like they like thatcharacter is like like damn, there's like
black face. Yeah, black facedcharacter towards the black community. That's what
the Pool is, you know whatI mean. So you know hard with
those type of things, you know, yeah, yeah, but you know,
some some things it's like, okay, we could laugh at this,
and then some stuff is just likenah, it's cringey. Yeah, she's
(23:47):
like they but you know they theydefinitely did it at the very beginning with
the commercial. Yeah, you know, they kept it for a little bit
longer a little bit after that,and then you literally never hear the accent
again. Well, you know,it pops in and out. It's not
like nothing hard, you know.You you hear stints of it from Mario,
(24:07):
it's like real slight. Yeah,he'll be like Mama me. It's
just stuff like that, but Imean, that's stuff you hear in the
game. But you know what,I liked that they didn't cut it from
the character completely, you know whatI'm saying, because they could have did
that. You know, they sayit's gonna be a Brooklyn accent. I
know how people from Brooklyn is,and you know, he could have been
a real gut a version of Marioand they really didn't do that. I
(24:30):
don't think that they will went theround. They wouldn't never. But you
know when you hear, oh,he gonna sound like a Brooklyn, Brooklyn
civilian, you were like, Okay, I'm curious to see how this go.
And it really wasn't bad at all. It was they I think they
mixed it well. It was nicemixture. You know, it wasn't too
(24:52):
hard on the Italian stuff from thegames, which honestly we really didn't need.
And it wasn't so uh noticeable inhis accent that it just you could
tell that they're trying to force iton the character and and put everything the
exact way the game was. Theythey definitely made changes that fit the Brooklyn
(25:15):
accent fit. You know, it'sgot slight Italian in it, you know,
but we know the Italians in NewYork, and I mean he's supposed
to be but he's supposed to bea tai you know what I mean.
And you know you see that itjust's not gone. He's like in the
Mario movie, the first Mario movie, it didn't feel as though they were
both Italian. Yeah, so itis that time right now. And I'm
(25:38):
going to say and I'll give youthe warning now everybody, um, we're
getting to the part of this thisum this session. There's gonna be slight
spoilers inside of the session. Sothis is for time to leave now and
turn it off. If not,then you have been worn. We'll give
you a little bit of time nowwith a slight moment of shot. Now.
(26:00):
At the beginning of the movie,when they showed jump Man, yeah,
that was exciting for me. Lookthey showed jump Man playing jump Man.
This man was playing his own game. But you know what, they
had Nintendo games in there. Hewas Mario was playing in it in the
room, playing Nintendo game. Thatwas crazy. I don't even know what
(26:21):
game he was playing. I forgetwhat it was. It like, it
wasn't contrary, it was something gayAnd I literally just heard the name for
it the other day. But it'san actual game. Yeah, like he
was, and it was kind ofweird. It was almost like they were
trying to do some what's not fourthwall break but in a sense kind of
(26:42):
it's so weird how they had butit was just one of those East eggs
they had set a ball through manyIt was through the music there, like
Luigia's dream tone with the game queOh my god, man, look they
had that Spike yeah movie, Ye, they had references the Daisies of the
(27:04):
Kingdom, the the Luigi's Mansion joint. Actually what tripped me out, I
don't and you know you brought itto but I don't think jump Man is
related to Mario on this. Idon't think so, because he definitely wasn't
at the Identer table. He wasn'tat the Identer table. And when he
talked the Spike he was. Theyhad just they were working for Spike at
(27:26):
one point in time. They hadjust left Spikes construction thing or whatever.
Yeah, and apparently, from fromwhat you get out of the movie,
went at the Denter table getting clownedabout their clothes. Oh man, they
obviously not supposed to be wearing theseclothes. They talked about their gloves,
the white gloves, which is funnybecause I'm pretty sure that everybody was wondering,
(27:48):
now they were gonna make that fit, you know, like we got
to stand out somehow. That's thatwas funny. That was that was definitely
funny. But I appreciate that becauseI always wonder, it's like, white
gloves, Are you wearing gloves?You know what, though, I literally
think that was just a trend ofthe time period. You know, yeah,
(28:10):
Blugs, Bunny wearing white gloves,A bunch of different characters wore white
gloves. I literally think that wasjust a trend of the time that Sonic
was wearing white gloves, you know, you know what I'm saying. I
literally think that was just ray Man. But I mean, it's nice that
they dressed the elephant in the roomfacts facts. I definitely like that.
(28:34):
I kind of didn't know Mario hadsuch a big family. I did not
know here and Italian. Yeah,and I get that in highsight, but
the fact that they always inside thesame house, yeah, I don't know
if were they living there or theywas just and if I'm piecing it together,
(28:56):
he had his dad there grandfather,his mom, what else his uncle's
that I don't know. They lookjust like Luigi, but that might be
her daddy. Mama ain't telling themabout everything. They got two guys at
the table that could either be likehe said, uh illegitimate father. Mym
(29:18):
ain't telling that. They might stillbe brothers, but they could literally be
Mario or Luigi's other brothers that wejust don't know nothing about. Or they
could be the uncles and we don'tIf that's the case, we don't know.
The saying is in this whole movie, not Onceton Luigia said or daddy
Yeah. Yeah. And another thingthat's funny to me, Mario don't even
(29:44):
like mushrooms. Yeah, and he'sliterally the only one I'll take. I'll
take them. Yeah, Marios Likeshe's like, yeah, here's a power
this and he's like, that hadto be a mushroom. Oh that forcing
drugs? Done it? Do stop. They're forcing the mushroom, not his
throat. We know what that implicationwas, and the kids might not have
(30:07):
caught it, but I caught it. I'm not putting that out um,
I'm not putting that out come onwe're in the Mushroom Kingdom many got everything,
you know what, I wouldn't themind seeing what the purple mushroom want
to want? The skull. Matterof fact, speaking of the skull,
when Luigi with the Luigian's Mansion umreferences that they were doing and they showed
(30:32):
the dry bones, Yeah, thatwas actually pretty Yeah, that was that
was dope. That was pretty nice, man. I on some levels,
it was actually kind of kind offreaky. Yeah, And this movie just
throws out there that like Luigi's oldscary. Yeah, like like literally that
explains the Luigi's Mansion, why he'sscary and all that, like, you
(30:55):
know, literally him the way theyshowed it too, he's he is scar
Let's let's establish that first and foremost. But they do it in a way
it's because he's always had his bigbrother protecting him. He's never really had
like how much old babies. Yeah, they really looked like they could have
been twins. I mean they werebabies together inside of the flashback whether they
(31:18):
call them, uh was the babyMario bros. Yeah, that was a
reference inside of the paternal twins.I think it's called where you know they
don't look alike or maybe or maybeyou know, like I said, Mama
ain't telling them about everything. Theirstories back to back, but there are
(31:41):
stories in real life. Yeah,mother cheats on husband, or mother cheats
on boyfriend, have twins and kidshas different father. You know, I
actually know a situation of that,So I do believe that. Yeah.
Well, seeing that that was said, the guy asked the table look look
(32:06):
just like Luigi because when the moon, when it first came up, and
it was at the dinner table.Part, I like, okay, Mario
looked like his mom. And Isaw the guy and then the other guy
started talking. It's like, oh, you did this. You're taking your
brother with you. And I'm like, okay, that's that's the daddy.
So who does Luigi look like?And it's like, that is you.
(32:28):
You was in the house. Youwas in the room somewhere eating mama's cannoli.
Not the cannoli, yeah man,not the cannoli. Bro Oh my
god. But yeah, some definitelymoments and then you know, my wife,
(32:49):
guy man, and we kept talkingabout this part over and over that
damn blueshell, Oh my god,you can't get away from what I do.
Who think I expected them to turnthe blue shell into a whole ass
character. That was trippy for me, and when that's always been a character,
(33:09):
but you know, you know,I've never paid attention to it like
that. I guess maybe in thein the actual Mario games by itself,
he is in the Mario Kart thing. It's just a blue ship. He's
just a blue shower up you get. Yeah, and it was trippy to
see that, um the power uplike like when he actually did it,
(33:30):
it's whirled around him just like inthe game. Yeah. Well, and
then you know, it was niceseeing a Rainbow Road. And I didn't
know that you can break Rainbow Road. Apparently you can very easily too.
I didn't even know how they gonnafix it. That's like some some thor
the way they broke. Yeah,they really did. And then, um,
(33:51):
apparently inside of the New Nintendo Universe, Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's father.
Man that it's trippy and not hisuncle, which is which is wild.
And I don't think Donkey Kong isa teenager, and I think he's
actually an adult. He's a he'sa man child. He's a man child,
but he's he's a gorilla chimp.However, you would put on what
(34:16):
species that that dude is. Idon't know if he a big old,
but it's like, so what isDiddy called? He's a monkey, he's
a champion. They related, Bro, I don't even know if they are,
because he definitely didn't treat Diddy Conelike that. Especially you did.
Everybody shut, So that goes foryou too, That especially goes for you.
(34:40):
Oh man, shut did I ain'texpect to see him. That shirped
me out. So all of themrelated, because like, all them related,
because like if I make Kingdom broseem like everybody's last name is calm,
Yeah, because the whole land isthe Kong Island or yeah, the
land of the Kong. Yeah yeah, but you, like I said,
(35:00):
it seemed like a primate island.It's a bunch of different type of monkeys
and and guerrillas. And I wonderwhat the chances of seeing King Kong the
cone of the cones. The congeis conge of the conge. The congy
is cone that ever cong in thecongo. And then out of all of
that, Donkey Kong is still theking. Give the com man. Look,
(35:24):
crank cranky Kong is the king ofright. That's right, but you
know what, he not as oldeither, and because in the series I
remember him being a tad bit older. He's old, yeah, I mean
he oldness, but he not.No, he's on. Don't let the
animation for he's old, all right. He just ain't over here cranking old
(35:45):
record player. No, and hea lot more lively. I appreciate them,
um keeping the Donkey Kong rap songfrom Donkey Kong sixty four, Yeah,
they kept, literally they kept.But I've heard the god the original
maker of that song. I've seenum well, I read something. He
(36:06):
came across my phone screen. Theysaid he didn't get credit for that inside
of the credits, that he didn'tget credit for that song. It maybe
it's because they made it sound different. I mean they changed the music.
You can see they remixed the subtletones of the stuff that we knew.
But it was it's literally the exactsame thing. It's just like a remixed
(36:27):
version of every song. Yeah.And then you know with the the the
Coopers and and the uh the goonbus and whatever that thing is. Yeah,
you know now that you bring upthe cool the Coopers and stuff.
I like how they did h thebows of the situation that always confused me
about his name. Yeah, Iused to think his name was King Cooper,
(36:52):
and then I never knew if itwas Bowser or King Cooper, and
I thought maybe there was two separatecreatures. So the way they explained it,
like you said, he's the Kingof the Coopers, he is the
King Cooper. You know that's that'sliterally a title because all of them are
Coopers. All of them are turtles. Remember he even said that the marks
(37:13):
like oh he was like he waslike and she like they said, you're
gonna tell me that turtles turtles?Not even like no, no, actually
like yeah, come to brook andI bought you. Oh, man,
Mario was dropping game. He wastrying to like, this is you flirt
o man? Talk about oh asaulting somebody trying to be nice. Donkey
(37:39):
call was a whole hater in thatmoment. He really threw a sault in
that man game. Bowser is thetrue man. Matter of fact, the
bout pretty much. The Bowser thatyou get in this movie is the Bowser
from Hodyssey. Yeah, from Hoardyssey, the one that is trying to force
peace to marry And that's exactly whatit is. And whole Yeah, they
even even wear the suit. Yeah, and she had to dress on so
(38:01):
yeah. Ye, there's a lotof references in this, and I appreciate
those references. You know, he'sI think, always wanted to marry Peach
though, Yeah, I think so. But at the same time, like
they could have made him more Bowserbowser, you know what I mean,
Like I didn't expect Bowser to bethis nice to the Cooper's. Yeah,
(38:21):
because he was ridiculous that up untilhe torched one of them and turned him
into a dry ball. He wasmore nice to his enemies than the Cooper's.
Yeah, yeah, then you andnow I appreciate when he was playing
a piano after the Peaches Peaches,Peaches, it's just paches, pitches peaches.
You know that old name exactly,you know, just ran Now,
(38:45):
now you have to live with thefact that your children are going to be
singing Peaches, Peaches, Peaches,knowing that this could possibly be a scripper's
name. So you're welcome, You'rewelcome. But oh yeah, that that
definitely but no that stuff so,um, which what is it? It's
one of the underground worlds, thesub worlds. Oh, he went to
(39:07):
playing that joint of the Yeah,I know, he told the come play
with it. Yeah, he waslike, come jam women. Know what's
the dude name the magician Cooper?Yeah, the wizard, the Wizard Cooper.
Yeah yeah, and he and hewas he was playing his little notes
on the side of But it wasit was cool. I like how they
did all of that. They keptjust about everything from every game, and
(39:30):
I mean everything. If you didn'tsee it on the second watch, you're
properly find it. Man, thesecond the second watch, you're definitely picking
up different stuff. Definitely you're throwingthe Leonardo dicaprioles that yeah, that means
that. Yeah, yeah, you'recatching everything that second time. The third
(39:52):
time it's like, oh that wasthere too, huh yeah yeah, And
you know, you just started noticingstuff that wile like, I wish they
really kind of explored the place theywere in a little bit more. It
just felt like immediately as soon asyou fall through the pipe, which they
don't even explain how that whole undertunnel system exists, and nobody knew about
(40:14):
it, nobody stumbled on it beforeyou know, it's it's just there.
And then they get to the mushroomKingdom immediately told there, oh, I
know your issue. Now we gottago see the princess. And they zoomed
through the city. Yeah. Imean, but you know that that right
there, just like you said,it was a problem with the patient and
(40:35):
the store, you know what Imean. It don't take away that the
movies. No, no, itdon't take away at all. But it
was definitely speedy. Yeah, itwas definitely speedy. Like they didn't waste
no time. They didn't talk atall. They was like okay, and
Mario he was like, I'm rich, you I just gotta go save my
brother. That's my only concern atthis point. Yeah. And then you
know, eventually he saw Peach andyou know the rest of the store.
(40:59):
Yeah, and even they like,I don't know, it shocked me that
they just turned this whole. Idon't know. The way she was it
reminded me kind of um, youknow Trek the Third yea when all the
processes. Yeah, that's what Itold you. They were gonna do it
in the live. They was gonnaDaphne this character, and they they do
(41:22):
this a lot. Did but likeI said, she was gonna get kitched.
Yeah she did. She did.He ended up getting out by myself
with the help of Toad. Anddon't know how if they were just gonna
let Toad walk around free, whatwas the purpose of them taking them?
I don't know. I do notknow. Being up ball man, that
(41:44):
god dang stars. Oh finally,Mercy was right here talking brother Pink was
like, bro, what is wrongwith you? Shut up? Said that
wasn't that dog on thing? Say? It was like, uh, death
and the only thing as real asdeath and something that that thing was crazy.
Yeah, man, that thing wascrazy and that that was some dark
(42:08):
humor coming from that star man.Look even at the end, Oh that's
the end. That's the end ofit, or is it? Or is
it just yeah? Man? Iwas like, look, look, man,
another another favorite character on mine.I definitely say between him and told
they did it for me. Theycould not have had the movie without them.
(42:30):
They could they could have did theytold without the star Yeah, but
because without told no, it wouldhave because told us the guy. He's
always the guy of the game.He's literally, no, always the guy.
I ain't think about it that one. Yeah, literally, yeah,
yeah, he was the guy.I don't know what was up with the
(42:51):
whole cooking joint. But yeah,that was weird. It might have been
in the game was it might havebeen, but I have to go back
because that's they legit was spoop.Once he pulled out that frying man,
he started cooking. He said,what you want, anything you want,
I'm cooking it. What bridges withthe whipper like man? He had the
backpack. Yeah, man, hewas out there stir frying and all this
(43:14):
crap. Brother crazy told different,he built different. He the only one
that wear a different colored jacket.Man, we did. Yeah, bro,
Now you read and wearing blue manebody. You know what blue and goal?
I don't even think that's yellow.Yeah. In facts, he was
definitely most wagged than the rest ofthe mudroom. He had the backpack from
(43:36):
the told game. Yeah man.Even even when he pulled up in his
ain't mussle truck of a gold cart. Man, I thought the goal.
I thought the call was gonna flyoff on him. He was sitting there.
You know, got they ain't showedboating with the shades on. Dude
gave no remorse for them. Whenhe hopped in that gold cart. He
was tossing them around. That wasactually cool too. I did not think
(44:00):
they were gonna make it the soleplace where the gold cards get made.
Yeah, yeah, you're talking aboutthen, yeah, yeah, but then
it's kind of weird because I meanbows ahead gold cards too. Yeah.
I guess he did well. Maybehe got his own manufacturing company out in
the dark Lands. But the waythey made it seem like the cons are
the one who do all the goldcard racing and stuff like that. You
(44:22):
know, they that's they specialty.Yeah. And then hopefully, like I
said, hopefully that's a reference tothe Diddy cone racing because I wouldn't mind
getting like an updated version of that, even if they put the old one
on the switch, I would playit. Honestly, I'm expecting a lot
of updated games after this. Idon't think so. I am. I'm
(44:43):
expecting a lot of updates special becausewhen you do that, it turns into
a video movie video game, andwhen you you know, movie video games,
Yeah they don't they don't have agood track history date, but they
really don't be good because you atthat point you had to start what makes
this so different? Though? Youknow, it's already a video game,
(45:04):
and they don't have to follow thestory that they've given us in this one.
The only thing it depends on whatthe picture is. That's that's good
point. The only thing I reallywanted them to update is really just how
to the visuals look, you know, that's the only thing. But I
mean they carried to the movie withthe hardware. I wouldn't say that.
Man, the hardware is always goinggetting better, yeah, but not with
(45:27):
Nintendo. You gotta think, whendid this switch come out? Was it
the PS four ever? It's aPS four ever, right, there's a
new system. Yeah it a matterof fact, was it or was it
the PS three era that the switchcame out? Had been had to been
like right after the PS three thethree came out, the week came out
during the three era? I thought, I think so it did, yeah,
(45:49):
I think, And then we gotbut the switch came out like right
there towards the beginning of the PSfour and the Xbox one one, you
know what I mean. And it'sstill here. There's new systems. Yeah,
so, but you know they're behind. I think. The only thing
would Nintendo is you don't have todo too much changes. We just want
(46:14):
them, you know, No,there's no you don't have to They have
to. They have to. They'vebeen operating off the same formula tweaks from
the most recent Pokemon game. Theyneed hardware updates, not for Mario though.
They were getting off for Mario games. That is for now. If
(46:36):
they were to release another Mario game, they would have to do something different.
They would have to which is tobe off the back of this movie
is the expatitions. Expectations would betoo high. I mean even like,
I mean, who's to say thatthe new Zelda game that's coming out is
actually gonna run? Well, youknow, we don't know until we get
our hands on. It might betoo much for the system. Yeah,
we don't know, you know whatI mean. And we were just talking
(46:59):
about Zelda because I could see ayou know, a live movie of that
if they do live. I thinkNintendo realized, like this animation, the
animation is their niche animation is definitelytheir way. Yeah, for DC would
have realized that. But yeah,but you know, they trying to compete
with the MCU. Yeah, youknow what I mean, handing their cartoons
(47:22):
are more adult it with DCU.I'm gonna get off topic for a quick
little minute. Then we're gonna goright back. So with the DCU,
their issue is they don't plan outtheir movies. No, no, they
don't. They just throw like,huh, I like this character, let's
do it. I mean, yeah, let's use this. This is a
good character. You don't connect tothis one, there's no way but do
(47:43):
a movie, and we're not gonnatry to make connections between. In fact,
we're got leave the inconsistencies. Likeyou you never got a Sightboard movie,
which is way overdue. I meanit's now getting movie and it's not
even the origin Flashing Blue Beetle moviebefore the Sideboard movie, the Blue Beetle.
(48:04):
Don't get me wrong, I wantto see that Blue Beetle movie,
but come on, I think Sideboarddefinitely earned one way before that, and
they've been butchering the character for yearsnow outside of animaztion me. How I
feel about Static Shock? Oh yeah, that that one. Definitely. That's
another one. If you're gonna pullan obscure character used the Static Shock character
(48:24):
man, they got a whole Dakotauniverse where he got a fleshed out road
gallery of villains and stuff like that. Beyond Batman. To me, Static
Shock is probably one of the mostinteresting characters. Yeah, you know,
and then after that green Landing,but I've only recently gotten to that.
(48:45):
Yeah, but back to the smartand movie now, in fact, right
we got we apologize but for theinconvenience. Um, I definitely like,
like, not only do I seea sequel coming from this movie, I
see I Luigi's matching coming from thismovie. You see a Peach story coming
from this movie. Um, definitelya Donkey Kong movie coming from this movie.
(49:08):
Hell, the way they did Diddy, he might get a solo story.
I don't think. I don't thinkif they give Diddy Kong a solo
story is strictly a comedy, ohman, but it'll it'll be off the
back of Donkey car. I thinkI think Diddy could get his own solo
story. If the only the onlyway Diddy Konge would get a movie,
it would be him a Donkey Kongand it would be some semi similar to
(49:31):
how those games were. And theway I've seen it, they'll do it
like you said, They'll do theDonkey Kong movie, bring Diddy into the
next one, and then after theyget around, they don't even have to
bring him. They could literally hecould just be there be or yeah he
can already be caught. Mean theyreally already introduced him. Yeah, they
really did, and you could telllike he is God damn nut juggled,
(49:54):
don't gone nuts? I can.I can literally see them spending Diddy did
he called off the back of DonkeyKong once they do it, you know,
in me personally, I actually likedthat he knee and it's good to
see them actually do something and mentionhim. You know, they had him
in marial party. Yeah, butthat's that's about it. Like he was
(50:15):
not in Marial Kart like nothing,you know what I mean. So it's
good to see them trying to implementhim, you know. You know,
I was kind of disappointed they didn'thave the rest of the Kong family inside
of them. They didn't you knowwhat I mean. They didn't have Tiny
Kong lanky Kong, but they couldbe and we just don't know, you
know, they just didn't introduce him, No because lanky Konge. Is it
(50:37):
a ranger Tang? But that wasI didn't see in a ranger tang,
you know. But it's it's anApe city, you know, you never
know. Imall chimpanzee with blonde ponytailsneither like I said, it's it's a
it's a big universe kongs galore,but yeah or yeah, there, it
(50:58):
was a lot of them. Itwas a lot of and we didn't,
like he said, we didn't seethe ones that we wanted to see,
going crazy with um for Donkey Kongum man, all of the power us
man. They even had the powerwhere Mario shrinks, Yeah, which was
funny. Yeah, he plunked them, man, But it was weird to
(51:21):
me. Here's here's what was weirdto me, because when the movie first
started and they you know, theygot that call, yeah, go to
that big that big crib to doplumbing. The way he was doing this
gymnasium crap. Oh man, itseemed like he already When I saw him
do that, I thought he wasgonna fly through that obstacle. Course when
(51:43):
Peach took me too, because it'slike, okay, you technically already the
way they alluded to it, theymade it seem like Mario really already kind
of got the sun. All hegot to do is kind of sharpen his
tools. And you know, theyalways painted Mario as this fat lumber man.
This man is very man very Hea little chunky in there, but
(52:04):
he is. If he's a littlechunky, he's in shape. Man,
He's definitely in shape. Hey,but they showed Mario was always the aggressive
and he has a ridiculous level ofconfidence. Yeah, ridiculous, ridiculous level
of confidence. Like you know,some games they showed Luigi with that confidence.
(52:27):
But at the same time they doshow him like they gave it all.
Not not in the movie, butin certain games he has some kind
of confidence. Yeah, but inthis movie it's like, nah, this
is who he is. Well,at the end he kind of apped it
up. I mean, yeah,but he was at the end. That
was more of the Luigia. I'mkind of used to see it, seeing
(52:49):
he was with his brother. Youknow, they did a double switch up.
It was gonna be the damsel indistress. Yeah, yeah, because
he really could have just let Marioget torch. Yeah, had he not
shown up with that manhole cover.Honestly, he could have Bowser could have
killed Luigi way off into the movie. I don't even see how he got
(53:09):
cant called me neither, because hereally could have got away. He could
have got a win, But heended up in that mansion. I know
those uh Luigi mansion, Yeah,which was so mean. You didn't see
any of the ghosts or nothing likethat, but he definitely they let you
know, I thought was gonna popup, but you know, they let
(53:30):
you know Luigi's mansions coming because yeah, they were flying off with Luigi.
He kept looking at the man mansionand they showed it. When he was
a kid, he built a littleblock mansion. Yeah that was damned near
identical to the one he had justleft. You know, they definitely planning
for Luigi's mansion, most different,which would be a good one. I
(53:50):
would be down for that. Butyou know, Luigi, they painted him
out to be this or they didn'tshow the ghost in the house, but
they showed those I forget what thosecharacters they wear the ghost mask, like
the ghost face man, I forgotthe character. But yeah, but they
popped the Red Ones with the ghostface and so they were like this a
Coultic group in there almost and theysnatched him up. But they never alluded
(54:15):
to them working for Bowser up untilthat point. You know, it was
weird how they did well. Iwas I would suppose that everybody in the
dark Lands. Yeah, that justit's like Bousers, that guy. Yeah,
you know, and you know theykind of had some instances with Bowser
where they showed like, all right, this is Bowser. Like when they
(54:37):
was playing the piano, he slammed, It's like, can I lift it
up? It's like nah, yeah, you know, he said something about
pain or whatever. Here let it, let it, you know, just
save her the pain for a littleminute. But yeah, you know,
yeah, he was real messed upto that wizard because he left that thing
right. He was like, okay, it's like, man, I'm gonna
(54:59):
lift the sta He messed up.And then when he found out that that
piece was really feeling, Mario manjust just blind with rage, especially towards
the end when the um the weddingdidn't go as playing. He saw peach
Mario Man blood shot, red eyes. Oh yeah, flames, blood shot.
Not happy. Nah. But enoughwith spoilers. You know, Uh,
