The Super Mario Bros. Movie, or Realistic Panic Attacks (feat. Kyle Amato)
About this episode
The episode features a discussion on The Super Mario Bros. Movie with film critic Kyle Amato, exploring its cultural implications and animation quality.
Boston Hassle film critic, animation enthusiast, and co-host of Hawke Cast Kyle Amato joins Stu, Nicole, and Cole to dissect the second highest grossing toy commercial of 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. It's your stock standard low-effort kiddie fodder reskinned for Nintendo IP and jam packed with as many Easter eggs and Top 40 needledops as algorithmically possible. If animation actually wants to be cinema then Illumination should hire actual some real European perverts for a change. Follow Kyle on the Projects Substack and read his reviews for Boston Hassle.
