SHOWNOTES: Let's-a-go! Running a little late on this one, but we finally had the chance to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie recently, and of course we had to join Collateral Cinema for an At the Movies episode, so here we are! How well does Illumination and Nintendo's first attempt at a feature film starring the beloved Italian plumbers and friends since 1993 (a movie we also featured on the podcast a few seasons back) work? Is it well-written? How are the performances, headed by Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as the titular brothers, as well as Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogen? How many possible references and Easter eggs to the franchise can they cram into a 92-minute animated picture? Take the Warp Pipe with Beau and Ash into the Mushroom Kingdom, as we answer these questions and more. Also, stay tuned for Collateral Cinema's Season Finale on Corvette Summer, which should be out very soon, as well as more At the Movies features before we launch Season Seven in October. Wahoo!

SHOWNOTES: The #fourtwenty season isn't over quite yet! We ended up having to re-record our special as the video game commentary we had recorded on 4/20 was unusable, but here we are: Ash and Beau smoke a shit ton of weed and review Conker's Bad Fur Day, along with its 2005 remaster/remake. Has this game aged as well as other N64 mascot platformers or Rare's other system titles? Is it a fun game to play blazed this stoner holiday season? Find out now, and stay tuned for the rest of our April content, including our takes on the infamous E.T. and Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, then get ready for our season finale on the upcoming Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom next month!

SHOWNOTES: HOLD IT! Court is now in session for the trial of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, as presided by Collateral Gaming and Collateral Cinema. We recently teamed up to check out Takashi Miike's Ace Attorney film, and now we're checking out the source material, as Ash and Beau cross-examine the very title that started it all in Part 1! Originally released in 2001 on the GBA, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney surprised the world when it was brought to the DS a few years later, meeting unprecedented success for an unconventional type of video game at that time. But how much fun are this "lawyer simulator" visual novel adventure game and its successors, really? Get our verdict on the latest Collateral Media collaboration special, and stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be discussing the remaining 2 titles of the trilogy: Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations!
