Show Notes
1993s Super Mario Bros. movie, directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, was a departure from the games sunny look, instead presenting a dark dystopian world. The film received mixed reactions, with some fans appreciating the fresh take and others missing the games original charm. The movie contained subtle jabs at capitalism and fascism, but an ending twist was cut, contributing to the backlash. In a 2023 oral history, Morton revealed a key final scene shot in Brooklyn, which was replaced by a post-credits gag. He believed this original cut could have changed the films reception.
