RTM 178 - Super Mario Bros. (1993)

With the release of the new Super Mario Bros. Movie, we go back to the first attempt to turn the video game plumber into a feature film. 1993's Super Mario Bros., from the Disney-owned Hollywood Pictures, was a radical departure from the source material. Is this movie a warp zone to success, or is this film's princess in another castle?

RTM 177 - Fantastic Four (2005)

2005's Fantastic Four was not the first attempt to bring Marvel's first family to the big screen. However, it was the first to be made as a big-budget blockbuster. We take a look back and see if this pre-MCU film is truly Fantastic, or if this was a Doomed attempt.
