Quest for Pizza Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

Mario and the gang head to Caveman Land in search for Mugga the Medicine Woman and Mario straight up dies in the first five minutes. Luigi then embarks on a Quest for Pizza that involves one of the show's most disgustingly horny moments yet when he has to milk a giant cow dinosaur, who is wearing lipstick and falls in love with him. Meanwhile, in the live action, the brothers discover a priceless painting called 'The Second to Last Supper.' Mark and Jeremy spend over five minutes discussing whether there are more, fewer, or the same amount of volcanoes now as opposed to dinosaur times.

Legend of Zelda: Stinging the Stinger Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

In today’s Legend of Zelda cartoon, Link and Zelda meet, and I’m sorry that I’m not joking about this, a shady merchant named Sleezenose. In the shock of the century, the sword that Sleezenose trades Link (the one that he says will make girls want to kiss him) turns out to be a big ol’ phoney. In the live action segment, Mario and Luigi get a psychic to channel their Grandma Mario (same name!) and Elaine Kagan is so good in the role that Super Mario Brothers Super Show superfan Martin Scorsese put her in Goodfellas.

The Trojan Koopa Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

This episode has it all! And by "it all" we of course mean "very little." Mario and Luigi head to some island because King Koopa (no alter ego) has kidnapped Princess Toadstool and put her on the other side of a big wall. How will Mario and the gang get inside to save the Princess?! Well have you noticed this one's called The Trojan Koopa? In the live action, Mario veteran Norman Fell, famous for his 1-second cameo in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood returns when the brothers strike oil in their potted plant. Also, Mark unveils a new law.

The Koopas Are Coming! The Koopas Are Coming! w/ Jon Gabrus Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

The hilarious Jon Gabrus (High and Mighty, Raised by TV, a buncha other stuff) joins the boys to discuss this truly batshit tale of George Washingtoad and his battle against the Koopish Army. Luckily Mario and Luigi show up and are able to help GW and his crew cross the Delawide River. That’s right, if you like living in America, you can thank Mario and Luigi (and to a lesser extent Toad). In the live action segment, Obi Wan Cannoli (character unrelated to Star Wars in any way) shows up just in time to stop a rival plumber named Tulio from beating up Mario. Just like in the games!

The Mark of Zero Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

In one of their laziest naming conventions yet, Mario and the gang head to El Desert Land to seek out the legendary masked hero known as Zero. What's he gonna do to help? I dunno, I guess get immediately captured by El Koopitan and his crew of ne'er-do-wells. Meanwhile, in the longest live action segment to date, Inspector Clean shows up and he's pissed off because he hasn't evicted any old ladies in a while. His words, not ours.

The Ten Koopmandments w/ Matthew Mercer Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, every video game) joins Mark and Jeremy to discuss this preposterous episode that was originally conceived as a King Tut thing and then evolved into a Ten Commandments thing somewhere along the way. That means for every Koop Tut you also get a Red Sauce Sea being parted. It’s completely ridiculous and it’s also somehow less bizarre than this week’s live action segment, wherein Vincent Van Gogh shows up at Mario and Luigi’s apartment to try to hustle them.

Legend of Zelda: Underworld Connections Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

Some very vile vires vie for the triforce in this vexatious episode of the Legend of Zelda cartoon! Also they dang broked it up into three pieces with a hammer or some shit. Mark and Jeremy experiment with waiting a few days after watching the ep to record the pod and end up going on long tangents about the 1960s Batman show. Meanwhile, INSPECTOR FRIGGIN GADGET shows up, played by Maurice LaMarche himself! This episode is actually pretty cool, you should listen to it.

Bad Rap w/ Andy Holt Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

Hey homeboys and homegirls, it’s a hip hop themed episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! They uh, they rap. The whole thing. Everyone raps it. It’s uh ... well, they rap. Mark and Jeremy enlist the help of fellow Hard Drive editor and hip hop superfan Andy Holt to make heads or tails out of this trip to Rap Land. Is it hot fire? Is it that wack shit? Sergeant Slaughter makes his long awaited return to the basement in the live action segment if THAT tells you anything!

The Unzappables w/ Vinny Vinesauce Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

The prophecy is complete: Vinesauce's Vinny joins the podcast to discuss Mario and the gang's descent into Crime Land (in the midst of the city's worst crime wave ever, thanks to Al Koopone!!). In the live action segment, Mario is turning the basement into a bed and breakfast and he's convincing people to sleep over by saying that George Washington did so himself, once. Too bad Washington's ghost shows up and immediately enlists Mario and Luigi into the army during a dream sequence (??) explaining that they will very likely die as a result. This is one of the most fun episodes we have watched in months!

Mario and the Red Baron Koopa Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

This is the episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! that Peanuts ripped off for years when they had Snoopy get into fights with the Red Baron. Sorry everybody, Mario got there first. Mark and Jeremy discuss this week’s episode, which features such oddities as the gang being horrified of a snowstorm just one week after we did a Christmas episode. What gives? Oh and in the live action, an escaped gorilla makes its way into Mario and Luigi’s apartment just as Luigi is getting ready to show Mario his new costume of, you guessed it, a gorilla. You know what that means? That’s right, two gorillas!
