The Book Buds journey to the Super Mario Wiki to learn more about the Super Show, its variety of celebrity guests and the strangely confusing lore surrounding Bowser's offspring. Let's wander! 

SPOILER WARNING FOR ANIMORPHS (lol)

Comments

Dorian Doran

no one said anything about it during the episode but i wanna shout out caldwell’s “chair-cuterie” pun it was funny, very clever, and he was quick on the draw with it; 10/10 podcasting my boy was on form this day

Josh K.

I remember that meatball Brooklyn Dodgers episode, this show was in reruns right when I was young enough to be really into it.

Kaidan C

It’s so weird… Zac mentions watching the Mario movie and it completely threw me, I almost forgot this came out before the 2023 movie (good lord, feels like that movie just came out and it’s been 3 years)

David

First Edit: Spoilers for Animorphs

Kyle morris

Olaf dies in Animorphs 2?

Nestor

Can't wait to get more of that good good Gak Oyama

Teo Tamashiro-Harris

In real life Gorbachev appeared in a commercial for Pizza Hut after it opened in Russia so his appearance in Mario actually kind of tracks

Maya B

Luigi looks like it could be Jake in a mustache (haven't finished the ep praying it's not photoshopped to be him)

Sonya McClary

This show sounds like somebody's weed induced fever dream.

Gregory Boyd

Tommy Lasagna is based on Tommy Lasorda who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and coached/managed the LA Dodgers. He also has a restaurant/ pizzeria in Pennsylvania. ❤️

Trying to find love through the swim-band economy is such strong Hardwon energy

Marcos, PhD...Eventually

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_sickness Um, actually - It's the inert gas (primarily, nitrogen) that rapidly expands in your body if you ascend too quickly from a deep dive. Every 33 ft / 10 m under the water is 1 atmosphere of pressure, so, when you dive - you have to ascend pretty slowly to avoid getting "The Bends" aka Decompression Sickness. Cheers! Thanks for the laughs.

joel

Holy shit the “Golden Plumber’s Helper” they receive must be the Plumber’s Helper the game book referenced that Emily and Caldwell couldn’t stop pretending was his dick And let’s be honest it’s still his dick

Hardy Kiffer

Fun Fact, Glasnuts, the live-action episode with Gorbachev, aired the same day that the Berlin Wall fell.

Bransy330

Two whole Mario episodes and no mention of the third Mario Brother, Guiseppe. This erasure cannot stand.

Mary Emma G.

the blob and church camp and cry night maaaaan

Olivia Hill

Caldwell pronouncing macrame kills me 😂 Is he right tho?

Nat Schwarz

In the Mario universe, it was Gorbachev making a pizza that caused the collapse of the Soviet Union

Susannah Perkins

Can you do an 8 bit book club ep on maniac mansion/day of the tentacle? i feel like that could be really funny

qbull

i so desperately want to see an 8bbc about the transformers animated series, just so they can uncover the absolute treasure trove that is the transformers fan wiki

Benjamin Hoffman

I heard "the Mario Bros save Gorbachev and the president from 'The Flood'" and immediately pictured Mario blasting away at space zombies in Halo.

Edmund Barker

It's on hiatus while he works on other projects, coming back in a couple of months I believe

Andrea Rieco

I remember the ankle bands for swimming too. But mine wasn't from summer camp, it was for my local swim club.

Tyler S Anthony

Need a real come to Jesus moment around Caldwell’s pronunciation of macrame

Michael Herrera

He said he's taking off May, June, and July.

Andrew G

Yo I used to stay up literally all goddamn night and watch Bug Juice lol

Andrew G

Lmao I was so thrown

Omar Mtz

It was great having Zach as guest and Jack as a special guest this episode.

Steve Haack

Was it Bug Juice or Salute Your Shorts?! Loved the confusion over the Tommy Lasorda parody (not a nice guy :[ )

bj cox

Interesting that special guest Jake said…..our show…..abit presumptuous

Kayla Holmes

What's the 1945 Italy book Jake is reading??

Fizzy Elderflower

In the UK "on the blob" is a crude way of saying someone's menstruating. My eyebrows were raised for a second lol.

James Scott

Tommy Lasagna I think is supposed to be a parody of Tommy Lasorda who coached the dodgers. I'm only 34 and never watched baseball, I shouldnt know these things.

Psykodactyle

I can't believe Murph actually said Tulio the "HUMAN WRENCH" was a Coolio reference and not a tool pun. Honestly I'm shocked and appalled.

Psykodactyle

Mario ended the cold war with pizza

Not Another D&D Podcast

The learning continues even after the episode ends. Bless you for sharing this beautiful factoid. ~Caldwell

Noah Jay

Fun fact: they filmed the first episode of Scaredy Camp at my summer camp, the very first year I went to a sleep away in 2002. Nickelodeon showed up and filmed the most bizarre game show, based on and entirely made up story... We didn't have scary stories about the camp. Also they chose kids that were affiliated with the camp owners which was rude. You can see the episode on YouTube. And it was not just a kissing type of camp but definitely kids getting to second and third base out in the dark 🤣

Noah Jay

Bug Juice was a reality show on Disney. Salute Your Shorts was scripted on Nickelodeon and also a bit older I think. Both great shows 😊

Noah Jay

This has been discussed before.. Possibly in a short rest? I think he said it that way for so long before hearing someone else say it that it's stuck 😂

Shane H

Not sure if y'all are goofing because you don't know about this, or you don't care. But if you go back to any crappy cartoon from the '80s and '90s, you will see at least 52 episodes for it. That was the amount of episodes needed for syndication, so they would order 52 episodes right at the beginning. You had to be really good, or maybe have Steven Spielberg behind you to get more than that.

Doug C.

Tommy Lasorda is also who I thought of! He was the Dodgers’ manager well into the 90s. I’m 33 and a lifelong baseball fan for context

Shane H

Also, how about Albert PIEnstein

Lucas

the mispronunciation of macramé may actually kill me

justdev

Appreciate the spoiler warning for Animorphs; Little upset no spoiler warning for the Bible, I was going to read all the books but now what's the point.

Psykodactyle

A surprisingly reoccurring theme in the 8-bit bookclub

MJMM

Recommend the Tony Lasagna episode it's got a rich set of characters

hell

… did caldwell go to camp seagull in north carolina. i Need to know now

Hannah Wilks

So I gathered "on the blob" isn't a colloquialism for being on your period in the US? Because Caldwell said it A LOT and no one ever explained what he actually meant.

Ted Orbach

Real Mario fans know that Mario's full name is Mario Mario. That's why they are called the Mario Brothers.

Cianistarle

Right? It's not a colloquialism for anything I was aware of when I grew up in America! I've ONLY ever heard this in the UK. Caldwell, what are you on about???

skokilla

I want one of those Stat trackers to start tracking the amount of times Murph says something Emily goes, "wait, really?!" "No." It tickles me everytime cause Emily is so earnest and Murph is so quick and dry with the "no" every time it happens

Dylan Irish

I so badly wanted the inventor of the space oddesy thing to be Thomas Spaghettison

Mae B

I believe he was talking about one of those big inflatable bouncy rafts that can be anchored in lakes and then people use them to jump off from. Like the giant tubes filled with air that kids would use to fling other kids into the air

Michael Webster

Gotta say, I LOVE the theme song for 8-bit Book Club

Nortara

Please watch the episode where they go to Cybertron! The auto bots are driven to the ground by a neon red acid rain that does nothing to the squishy human in a metal wheel chair next to them. Bonkers ^_^

Mae B

y'all should do a digimon tamers watch/wiki wander. I also think it would be fun if y'all watched like the first episode and last episodes of shows like that for 8BBC

Ben Hummel

This is me asking once again for your emotional support (do book 2 of Animorphs).

DC47

Am I the only one who remembers Donkey Kong for Colecovision? That was Mario's original debut game, I think it was 81/82...I played that until the thumb-stick made my fingers bleed...damn I'm old.

Amanda Brown

“By the Luigi Rules, we are the Micah Brothers.” I’m C R Y I N G

Hopscotch

Since the Animorphs wiki wander, I've read six of the books and actually managed to forget that Rachel is going to die. But lo and behold, Brian Murphy strikes again.

Sir Theobold Gumbar, Jr.

Nicole Eggert was one of the early break out stars from Baywatch but she pulled a Mischa Barton and left the show too soon to pursue a movie career.

Pitlane Pilot

This happened to me with Frozen 2 😞✌️
