My name is Christopher Thomas Plant. My name is Ross Firstig. Welcome to the

resties where the rest of the best discuss the best of the rest. I apologize if I

sound unusual. I have a throat infection. This week we're talking about a movie.

Not a video game. A movie based on a video game. We're talking about the

Super Mario Brothers movie from 1993. Not to be confused with the new one. This is a

live action movie starring none other than Dennis Hopper, Bob Hoskins, and John

Leguizamo. I am so excited that we are doing this. But before we do it, there was

little detail in this movie that I'm not sure that you picked up. I was curious if maybe

if you felt like you were able to enjoy it on a level that I couldn't. And that is this

is a movie about New Yorkers. It is a movie about Brooklyn. And I'm curious where

they're like maybe words that they said them, but I couldn't hear them. Like, how a dog

can hear sounds that I can't hear. Well, I will say this. And we'll talk about it as

we talk about the movie proper. But perhaps the most authentic moment of the movie from

a New Yorker perspective is there's some women that get kidnapped and taken to

Cooper's kingdom. And Mario goes to save them. And one of the girls has like a very,

very clearly a queen's accent, which I think most people outside of New York maybe

can't identify the difference between Queens and Brooklyn. And I'm like, that's not a

Brooklyn accent. That's a queen's accent. But then one of the other characters like,

oh, don't worry about her. She's from Queens. And I was like, oh, snap. They did it right.

Good for them. So can't tell you something. What? So I watch this movie with Steph, my wife,

who surprisingly really enjoyed it. The movie ends five seconds past. She looks at me

and she goes, I think fresh is going to talk about that Queen's line. No way. I'm not joking.
