We were also extremely lucky to be joined by Ryan Hoss, the founder of smbmovie.com (The Super Mario Movie Archive) to discuss the film's controversial legacy, on-set shenanigans, and the efforts Ryan has taken to keep memory of this movie alive. LET'S A-GO!

Put on your yamaka, it's time for Hanukkah. Well, we may be late for the holiday season, but we have one last gift for you before we leave 2022 for good. We finally revisit the Happy Madison Cinematic Universe with our holiday staple (?) EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS. We introduce a friend to the movie for the first time, tier rank all of the songs, and reveal Mike's crippling fear of ports-potties.

We were really desperate for marketing news for this month, we ended up having to resort to Film Twitter discourse. We also rag on the Sight & Sound's Top 100 list, the new Indiana Jones trailer, and movies that we showed our parents that they hated.
Commandos reporting for duty, and we're bringing along a new recruit, Kevin Higgins, host of I Helped Make That Podcast, to discuss yet another subversive, irreverent Joe Dante romp that the studio mishandled and buried. This is also the second movie we've covered that had a significant lawsuit filed against it. Lock and load and prepare for battle with Joe Dante's SMALL SOLDIERS!
