yes.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f449/72.png\">&nbsp;We just stepped out of a private screening of SUPER MARIO GALAXY…</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>…and baby, we got THOUGHTS.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Let’s start here:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f3af/72.png\">&nbsp;This one gets a strong 75%.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Which means yes — they actually came back and did what needed to be DONE.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Because after that first movie?</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f62c/72.png\">&nbsp;We had questions.</strong></h1><h1><strong>Concerns.</strong></h1><h1><strong>Doubts.</strong></h1><h1><strong>Maybe even a little emotional damage.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>But THIS time?</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f30c/72.png\">&nbsp;Bigger world</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f4a5/72.png\">&nbsp;Better visuals</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f451/72.png\">&nbsp;More ambition</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f525/72.png\">&nbsp;More “okay wait… now y’all cooking”</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>This episode, we get into:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>• Why this movie feels like Nintendo finally decided to stop playing with us&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f3ae/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><strong>• Jack Black absolutely eating as Bowser like this is lowkey HIS franchise now&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f62d/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><strong>• Brie Larson pulling up as Rosalina with full cosmic princess energy&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/2728/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><strong>• Glenn Powell entering the chat as Star Fox like somebody in the casting room was feeling REAL bold&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f680/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><strong>• And the one thing that took a CHUNK out of the score…</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f449/72.png\">&nbsp;What did they do to Yoshi??</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Yes.</strong></h1><h1><strong>We have to talk about it.</strong></h1><h1><strong>Because if you know, you KNOW.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>And if you don’t?</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Oh, trust… we’re going there.&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f996/72.png\"><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f4a8/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>This movie really said:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>“What if Mario got bigger, weirder, more galactic, more emotional, more cinematic…</strong></h1><h1><strong>but still kept enough chaos to make the crowd lose their minds?”&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f344/72.png\"><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f4ab/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>And honestly?</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>That part works.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>A LOT of it works.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>The visuals?</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f525/72.png\">&nbsp;Gorgeous.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>The scale?</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f525/72.png\">&nbsp;Huge.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>The fan-service moments?</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f525/72.png\">&nbsp;Oh they knew exactly what they were doing.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>There were multiple times we were sitting there like:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>“Okay wait… why is this actually hitting??”&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f440/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>BUT because this is MAN ON FILM…</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>you already know we’re not just here to clap and smile.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>We’re asking the REAL questions:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f449/72.png\">&nbsp;Why is one of the most beloved Mario characters getting treated like an afterthought?</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f449/72.png\">&nbsp;Why did Bowser almost run off with the whole damn movie by himself?</strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f449/72.png\">&nbsp;Why does Luigi seem like he’s having a whole separate little emotional journey??&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f62d/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f449/72.png\">&nbsp;And why are certain princesses looking at Mario like they got plans beyond the galaxy??&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f440/72.png\"><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f485/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>We also break down:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>• The moments that made us laugh</strong></h1><h1><strong>• The scenes that genuinely gagged us visually</strong></h1><h1><strong>• The post-credit setups that got us READY for the next one</strong></h1><h1><strong>• And whether this is finally the Mario sequel that gives the franchise real staying power</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Because let’s be honest…</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>This isn’t just about whether the movie is “good.”</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>It’s about whether Nintendo and Universal finally figured out how to turn this into a real movie universe.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>And from what we saw?</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f440/72.png\">&nbsp;They might actually have something.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f399_fe0f/72.png\">&nbsp;Final verdict:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>75%</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>A definite step up.</strong></h1><h1><strong>A much better ride.</strong></h1><h1><strong>A visually stacked sequel with real crowd-pleasing energy.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>And yes…</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>we’re still side-eyeing the Yoshi situation.&nbsp;<img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f996/72.png\"></strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong><img src=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f3af/72.png\">&nbsp;Bottom line:</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>If you love Mario…</strong></h1><h1><strong>If you love animation…</strong></h1><h1><strong>If you want a sequel that actually tries to go BIGGER…</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>this episode is for you.</strong></h1><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Because we break down the highs, the chaos, the missed opportunities, and the moments that had us ready to argue in the parking lot after the credits rolled&nbsp;<img
