The Bigger Picture: "PIPE DREAMS" (Mario Movie Compilation) (Patreon)
Content
I've been publishing and producing video content as film critic, gaming commentator, filmmaker, etc on this channel and elsewhere since almost before YouTube was YouTube - the very earliest days on the Web Video medium. And across multiple shows, websites, outlets, formats, styles and contexts a subject we've come back to MANY times (and yet, somehow, not exactly as often as you might think) has been the nexus of video games, movies based on them, and the prospect of someone, someday, maybe making a (better) one out of "SUPER MARIO BROS."
Now, with the actual "Mario Movie" soon upon us; I've gone back through the archive(s) and collected a chronological record of me... basically being a broken record on the subject OF "Mario Movies" for over a DECADE'S worth of work; ranging from parody reviews to speculation to revisitation of earlier adaptations all the way up through discussion of the actual production rumors and the recent debut of the first trailers and now-ubiquitous discourse over the Chris Pratt of it all. Self-indulgent timeline of one man's creative inertia? Narrative throughline of the evolution of internet pop-culture commentary in the early 21st century? Bit of both? You decide!
