HEY PAISANOS!

Once upon a time, there was a podcast about Mario until one day... it became about Japanese folklore, machine guns and seven dwarves.

That's right, today Hamish and David are discussing Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros!

We talk about the history of this production, its cast and crew and all the things it predicted about the future of these characters and this world.

HEY PISANOS! SUPER MARIO MOMENT is back! And joining Hamish on every episode of Season 3 is David from Gimmicks and Fear Coded!

And this season we are tackling every Super Mario tv and film adaptation in anticipation of the upcoming release of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie!

Today we are starting at the very beginning with one of the first tv shows based on a video game and Mario's first cartoon. Saturday Supercade is an anthology series based on various popular arcade games of the time including Q*Bert, Frogger and of course Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. But how do the first people to do it tackle adapting jump man for television? We discuss!

Super Mario Galaxy was perhaps the obvious choice for inspiration for the next Mario movie - from it's emotive backstories, cinematic score and awe-inspiring moments, it really feels like it belongs on the big screen with the best Science Fiction epics and Space Operas.

But how does it achieve this feeling? And does it hold us as one of the best games of all time? On today's episode, I chat with Jayce about why this game means so much to them as I'm sure it does to all my viewers.

It feels strange to call one of the most beloved Mario games of all time "underrated" but sandwiched between the beloved Mario RPG and Thousand-Year Door, the original N64 Paper Mario can sometimes feel like it is. But does this game have its own special something?

On today's episode, I chat with Josh Covel from the Still Loading podcast all about this cozy, quirky classic!

Super Mario Bros. 3 was the original GTA 6. Delayed for years in the West, the long-awaited TRUE sequel to Mario Bros. came with it's own cartoon series, comics, Happy Meal toys and live-action promotional movie - so when the game finally came out, it sure was lucky that it was one of the best of all time.

On today's SUPER MARIO MOMENT we chat World Maps, Frog Suits and Koopalings with the co-host of the often mentioned Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge and Distant Echoes - Tommy Proffitt!

Super Mario Bros 2 is the black sheep of the original Mario platformers - the weird one, the one that's different, the one that's not really a Mario game. But could this be why it has such a special place in the hearts of queer fans?

On today's SUPER MARIO MOMENT we chat Mario's dreamscape, Peach's floating and Birdo's gender identity with podcaster and essayist Drew Mackie!

Drew is the man behind Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games, a video game blog with a difference! He writes incredible essays about queerness, gaming and the type of deep dives we love on this show.
