In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru are joined by special guest Meredith Loftus to discuss everything about The Super Mario Bros. Movie!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, and this episode is a big one! Not only are we talking about the first major theatrically released animated film of the year, but Cameron and I had the pleasure to be joined by our friend Meredith Loftus! There has been a lot of discussion online surrounding The Super Mario Bros. Movie, running the gamut from super positive to super negative. Tune into the podcast if you want to hear what we can only promise will be a fairly balanced discussion amongst the three of us.

That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us, and stay tuned for more (especially if you’re a fan of The Owl House)!
