We're talking the original, live-action Super Mario Bros. in this episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. From directors suffering from bloated ego, to way too much money being thrown at this ill-conceived story, and special effects that don't, in any way, reflect the game series this film was based on, this whole production was a train-wreck moving in slow-motion. So let's discuss!

We're talking Square Enix in this episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G.

This week (Not So) Live from Asteroid G is taking a shot at rebooting Zack Snyder's Justice League. We figure if Zack Snyder can be given $70 Mil to refilm and edit this 2017 joke into a four-hour opus, why can't Hollywood do the same for us, so we each give our best interpretation of that mangled film (or, at the very least, our weirdest ideas).

This week (Not So) Live from Asteroid G is doing a bit of a different kind of overview as we look at two subjects that both seems prescient at the time: with the then upcoming election, we weren't sure if we should be celebrating political movies and lamenting the end of the world with apocalypse movies.

Join Queen B, Josh, Bex, and I (along with some special guests) as we screw up over and over trying to record a podcast. The final products may sound good, but man, do we burn through a lot of flubs and stutters in the process.

Starring Bill Murray and Harold Ramis (along with a surprising number of other SNL stars), this film was a big hit when it camp out, lampooing the military with Murray's slacker charms.
