About this episode

Zach and Chris discuss the 2023 film The Super Mario Bros. Movie and its connections to gaming culture.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, fresh from PAX East, Zach and Chris are still in a gaming state of mind and discuss 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters. Starring Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as Mario and Luigi, the Mario Brothers are sucked into a warp pipe under Brooklyn and end up in the Mushroom Kingdom. While Luigi is captured by the evil forces of Bowser (Jack Black), Mario ends up in the kingdom of Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) and joins her on a quest to recruit the Kong Army and defeat Bowser. Zach and Chris discuss how the brother's plumbing ad would have gone viral, why the Kong society is based around go-karts, the numerous needle drops, how Princess Peach being a badass connects to the classic Nintendo Power Super Mario World manga and more. You can watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie on Peacock. Next week, with The Boys returning for its final season, we're discussing another violent and bloody superhero movie, 2010's Super. We want to hear your comments and feedback. Send them all to contact@everythingaction.com. Also, let us know your movie suggestions for us to discuss. Please subscribe, rate, and review us on…
