Special guest Matt Serafini joins us this week to review The Super Mario Bros. Movie. For the first time in 30 years, Nintendo is back on the big screen (no, Detective Pikachu doesn't count). And they've even teamed up with Illumination to bring the iconic video game plumber to the big screen, this time as a computer-animated film more faithful to the basic structure of the original games. But also with loads of easter eggs and set pieces that celebrate the Mario video game franchise over the last few decades. Critics have been pretty harsh with the film while general audiences are eating it up like mushrooms. But what in the Super Mario World do the Cinemaholics think? Get ready for one of our nerdiest episodes in a long while.

Our intro music this week is "Super Mario Lofi" by Rifti Beats.

Oscars 2024 – If We Picked The Winners!

This week, we finally discuss the release and reception of Dune: Part Two, directed by Denis Villeneuve. After a delayed release and somewhat botched streaming strategy with the last film, Warner Bros. gave the sci-fi epic another chance to spice up the box office. But does Dune: Part Two fulfill the prophecy of that last film and Frank Herbert's 1965 novel?

Dune: Part Two opened in theaters on March 1. It was directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaights. The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, and Souheila Yacoub.

Our intro music this week is “Tarantino Margarita” by l’eupe.

Dune: Part Two

It's an unofficial "It Ain't Ogre 'Til It's Ogre" podcast reunion! Special guests Matt Serafini and Chris Sheridan join us this week to discuss Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson. We delve into the broader multiverse of Sony's Spider-Manmovies and its unholy trinity of "villain movies." Who is Madame Web? What's going on with that ADR? How did this movie actually happen? What are we doing with our lives?!

Madame Web opened in theaters on February 14. It was directed by S.J. Clarkson and the cast also includes Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O'Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Our intro music this week is “Tarantino Margarita” by l'eupe.

Sony's plan with Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web, and Kraven and blah blah blah.
The role of Cassie Webb as a plot device character in the comics
The marketing was misleading!
Dakota Johnson's disastrously great press tour for this movie
The plot and the plot holes, the lack of effort, the lack of everything
Enjoying this movie unironically?
Sony's attempts at creating a cinematic universe with its superhero movies have been...
What's next for Sony and Columbia Pictures at this point?
