Well past it's prime in the 80's, visiting an arcade in the latter half of the '90s felt a little like visiting an endangered species, especially with console gaming rising to supremacy.

Join Andrew & Michael for an unexpectedly bittersweet reflection on the video arcades of our youth.

Ep 18: Shitty Movie Showcase - Super Mario Bros.

In the early ‘90s, Hollywood Pictures had the bright idea of taking the most popular video game in the world and making a movie out of it. Seemed like a pretty good idea at the time, right? The resulting motion picture was Super Mario Bros., which over the last 30 years has gone from box office Bob-omb to cult classic. So, naturally, by Too Old Souls standards, a Shitty Movie Showcase was in order for Andrew and I. Trust the fungus, draw yourself a fresh mud bath (because it’s both CLEAN and DIRTY at the same time) and enjoy.
