About the episode

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Super Mario Bros. (1993), the first American live-action video game adaptation, which scored 27% on Rotten Tomatoes and turned a $48 million budget into $39 million at the box office. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo star as Mario and Luigi in a grimy dystopian movie with no Peach, no Bowser, and little that resembles the Nintendo franchise we all love.
