1
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:06,679
Speaker 1: Mario, Luigi Toad, Princess Peach and Bowser are back, and

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:11,640
this time they're joined by Princess Rosalina, Bowser Junior and

3
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:17,280
Yoshi in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. I'm Roneled Young Junior,

4
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:20,079
and I'm leaving the theater.

5
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: All right.

6
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,879
Speaker 2: This is Ronald and I am leaving the theater after

7
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,159
seeing the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The Super Mario Galaxy

8
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,959
Movie written by Matthew Fogel, directed by Aaron Horvath and

9
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:30,280
Michael Jellinik, starring Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor Joy, Charlie Day,

10
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:35,000
Jack Black, Keegan, Michael Key, Benny Safti, Donald Glover, and

11
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,280
Brie Larsen, and as usual, for complete listing of the

12
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760
cast and crew, you can check out the link in

13
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:45,439
our show notes. It is just me today, but if

14
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,159
you listen to last week's episode of the drama, you

15
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:50,359
know it's only just me today because I just did

16
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,319
a double header. This was the first part of a

17
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,640
double header, meaning I saw the Super Mario Galaxy Movie first,

18
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,719
and then I walked into the drama. But I came

19
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,640
out of the drama and recorded that first. Took a moment,

20
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,760
gathered myself and now I'm back recording the Super Mario

21
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:12,960
Galaxy movie. This is the sequel to the Super Mario movie.

22
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:17,080
And normally this is the part where I tell you

23
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,479
the plot of the film, and I can tell you

24
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,159
I don't think it's gonna matter that much to you,

25
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:28,560
But Princess Roselina is kidnapped by Bowser. Junior and Mario,

26
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Luigi Yoshi and Princess Peach and Toad all have to

27
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,800
rescue Princess Roselina. There's some backstory revealed about Princess Peach

28
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,919
and their Bowser goes on an emotional journey, and it's

29
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:49,479
it's there. There's a lot going on in the film.

30
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,840
It's only an hour and thirty eight minutes, so it's

31
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:56,120
not very long. I liked this one a lot more

32
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:58,919
than I liked to the first one. This movie is

33
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,919
just full of joy, jokes, lots of joy, lots of jokes,

34
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,120
and it's it doesn't really burden itself with having much

35
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:10,520
of a plot at all. It just it's like they

36
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,759
really were just like, look, we know they're gonna go

37
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,039
say the thing, do the thing. Well, I haven't fight

38
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,280
some stuff, and then what we what we really want

39
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,759
to do is put a bunch of references all throughout

40
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:24,280
the film. It is full of references. There are some

41
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,800
some characters that pop up. Starfox is in this film.

42
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Sorry if that's a spoiler if you haven't seen it. Uh,

43
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,400
it's very I was very excited to see when he

44
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,159
showed up. There is a part of the film in

45
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,639
which there is a reference to the side scroller Super

46
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:42,840
Mario Brothers The Originals that is played out both in

47
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,520
three D and as a side scroller, which is very,

48
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:50,680
very entertaining. Uh. There is the voice acting was great.

49
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,400
No one particularly stood out. Donald Glover is playing Yoshi,

50
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,960
and Yoshi doesn't have any real lines. It's it's kind

51
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,960
kind of like it's almost the I Am Groot of

52
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960
not saying that Yoshi's saying the same thing, but Yoshi

53
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:11,599
is more making sounds than Yoshi is actually talking. So

54
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,039
in a lot of ways, it feels a lot like

55
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,199
I Am Groot or when George Clooney played.

56
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: The dog on South Park.

57
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,319
Speaker 2: It's just the little things where it's you got this

58
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,160
person to play this, and we don't really get to

59
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,439
hear that it's them. We really just get to hear

60
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,879
this character, which is good. I really enjoyed seeing Yoshi

61
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,480
in this film. He was very cute.

62
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: Lots of cuteness in this film.

63
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: If you liked Mario, if you grew up with Mario

64
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:40,639
like me, this was a lot more fun than the

65
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:42,800
first one. I feel like the first one, I got

66
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,319
a lot of backstory and a lot of this is

67
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,360
Mario's family and Mario's hanging out and their plumb was like, no, no,

68
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,680
I don't care about any of that. Get them to

69
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,600
the Mushroom Kingdom, get them eating mushrooms. I don't care

70
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,000
about his origin story, none of that. I feel like

71
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,720
some of that stuff bogged down the movie. This one

72
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,959
we get right to it. We're we're going on a journey,

73
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,040
We're on a quest. We're already in the universe. They

74
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
don't ever They're never in Brooklyn, which I appreciated. I

75
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,759
just you don't need to be in Brooklyn. I need

76
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120
you to be in the Mushroom Kingdom. Put them in

77
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,959
the game world.

78
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: Let's go.

79
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: And that's what this movie does. We get to watch

80
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,439
them be in the game world for the majority.

81
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,639
Speaker 3: Of the movie.

82
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:22,439
Speaker 2: For all of the movie, I think there's only one

83
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,040
character that's briefly in Brooklyn, which you'll see.

84
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: But other than that, it was a great journey.

85
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: There's not really this this is this is kind of

86
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:33,800
like a movie that's just it's it's fluff.

87
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,079
Speaker 3: There's not much going on here, and I think the

88
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,360
kids are going to like it.

89
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,319
Speaker 2: But as as far as if I'm comparing this against

90
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:44,160
another Pixar film, Hoppers, Hoppers had a message.

91
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: Hoppers was telling me something.

92
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Super Mario Brothers isn't really isn't really saying much about anything.

93
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,920
It's just there to be cute and to throw a

94
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:54,040
bunch of characters at me, which it does.

95
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,759
Speaker 3: It did that, It did that well.

96
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: I think it showed up, it understood the assignment, and

97
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,319
it fulfilled the assign But again, I liked this one

98
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:08,279
better than the first one. I don't remember much about

99
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,560
how the first one. I don't remember much about how

100
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,519
the first one ends. As a matter of fact, I

101
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,240
saw a preview for the Super Mario Galaxy movie and

102
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,759
I see that Bowser is shrunk small, and I didn't

103
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,439
understand why he was small.

104
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,879
Speaker 3: But I also want.

105
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:25,879
Speaker 2: To point out that I don't think you need to

106
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,160
have seen the first one to watch this one. If

107
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:31,759
you know who Mario is and who these characters are.

108
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,439
That's all you need to know to walk into this movie.

109
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,240
And it's funny because I listened to a dude who

110
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,720
just told me he Binge watched The Testaments over the

111
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,199
weekend and loved it with Chase Infinity, which is now

112
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:44,800
her second mention in two weeks.

113
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: But he mentioned he watched it.

114
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: He's like, and I'd never seen The Handmaid's Tale, and

115
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,839
I remember thinking, I don't know why on earth you

116
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:55,920
would ever watch The Testaments without having watched Handmaid's Tale.

117
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:01,439
It's I just it's not The universe is not so enjoyable.

118
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,439
You're like, yo, I gotta see this. This looks compelling,

119
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,879
because I'm like, if the Handmaid's Tale didn't look compelling

120
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,360
to you, I don't know why this would look more

121
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,480
compelling for me. I want to watch this because I

122
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:16,720
think they're actually gonna give me the revolution that I

123
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,600
actually want to see that I did not get to

124
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:22,199
see in The Handmaid's Tale. And The Handmaid's Tale we

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,759
get to see the escape of Afred, but we don't

126
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,560
actually get to see the revolution, which is what I

127
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,120
wanted to see. In the Super Mario Galaxy movie, we

128
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,319
just get to see the Mario brothers being the Mario

129
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:36,839
brothers in the Mario universe, which is all I want.

130
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,920
I don't need a bunch of other stuff. I don't need.

131
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800
I don't need a gritty backstory any of that stuff.

132
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,319
I just need Yoshi being Yoshi. Yoshi was Yoshi. Princeess

133
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,000
Peach was Princess Peach. Princess Peach was Princess Peach. Mario

134
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,079
as Mario, Mario was Mario. Y'all see that. I got

135
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:56,240
myself stuck into this thing. Luigi as Luigi and Luigi

136
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:00,879
was Luigi. So yeah, I mean, with all of that

137
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,879
being said, i'd watched this again. This is a three

138
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,360
and a half star movie. It's not a four star

139
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:08,959
movie because I mean, this movie can only be so

140
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,800
good because I just told you it was like fluff.

141
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:14,639
It's disappearing from my mind even as I think about it.

142
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:16,079
But if it was on, I'd be like, oh yeah,

143
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,360
I'll watch that and scroll my phone. Actually, I would

144
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,079
put my phone down, like for a couple of scenes

145
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:24,000
in this that I really enjoyed. I really like seeing

146
00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:27,360
Yoshi do stuff. It just I enjoyed it. I liked it.

147
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,000
It's an enthusiastic three point five of five Stars and

148
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:34,440
with that leaving the theater, it's a production of Oh

149
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,919
It's Big Round Studios. I mixed this episode, and as

150
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,080
you heard, this was a double feature day, meaning that

151
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,679
I had to spend a lot of time in the movies,

152
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,000
sitting there being lost in the movies, which is fun.

153
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,960
I like doing it. I like watching movies. It was

154
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,559
a long drive to get to this side of town.

155
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,919
There's a lot of prep I have to do beforehand.

156
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,919
Then I have to chop and edit all of this afterwards.

157
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,200
If you're hearing a new episode of the theater, I

158
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,759
edited that. I did that myself. I go into Adobe audition.

159
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,320
I cut the tape myself. I edited me Ronald Young Junior,

160
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,679
that's who does it. I'm not passing it off to

161
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,919
Tom Tyra. It's not at Bias Studios. Ronald does that.

162
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,840
And then I open the mic and I record, and

163
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,399
I put filters on there, and I worry about the

164
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:25,080
background noise, and I worry about lof levels. You don't

165
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,879
even know what that is, do you. Unless you're an

166
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:29,240
audio person, you don't know what left levels are. I

167
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,399
know what left levels are, and I make sure that

168
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,480
it's the left of negative fourteen, so you can hear

169
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,639
this well in your car while you're driving. That's what

170
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,960
I'm doing. I'm also doing Wait for It. I'm also

171
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:45,320
doing Heartbreaker. I'm also thinking of other ideas to continue

172
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,679
doing what I love, being on stage, reviewing films, talking

173
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,960
to you all about my feelings and other people's feelings,

174
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:57,360
and being existential. This is a labor of love and

175
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:01,440
I love doing it, but it's still labor. If that

176
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:04,320
means something to you, go to patreon dot com slash

187
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:51,879
I'm raveled, young Junior, and I'm full of joy and jokes,

188
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,919
lots of joy. Lots of jokes,
