This week, my good friend Grace Gasper (actual theatrical costume designer) is on the show to talk about the clothes and costumes in Super Mario Bros. (1993) and figure out Why They Look Like That. Topics include why they don't trust Charlie Day around Chris Pratt, color theory, TikTok fashion, and Our Friend John. Follow the show on Twitter @bummerpod, or write to us at [email protected].

Look. I don't like to get serious in these captions, but this episode might be the end of me. If I'm not back in a week, tell my wife I love her. Topics include misinformation via tweet, the Hollywood Chrises, terrible Harry Potter impressions, and - brace yourself - my opinion on Marvel movies.

I've been silent too long. I refuse to be held down any longer. This week, I dive into what Chris Pratt is up to, who he thinks he is, and how he hexed me for weeks. Also, Italian American rights.

This week, we deep dive into what a cult film is, how they come to be, and why non-podcasting people would want to watch Super Mario Bros... And I get to geek out about campy movies I love. Topics include Shigeru Miyamoto's thoughts, a healthy heap of nostalgia, and lots of Tim Curry. Follow the show on Twitter @bummerpod, or write to us at [email protected].

If you're a lawyer, kindly skip this episode, just in case! Otherwise, enjoy this second, more thorough recap of Super Mario Bros., because as it turns out, an open-note exam is a helluva lot easier. Topics include 90s Jonathan Frakes shows, Brooklyn humor, and lots of gushing over Fiona Shaw. Follow the show on Twitter @bummerpod, or write to us at [email protected].

There's an old proverb that says "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Our journey of objectively too many miles begins today, with a step that's sick and reciting the plot of Super Mario Bros. (1993) from memory.
