SHOWNOTES: Let's-a-go! Running a little late on this one, but we finally had the chance to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie recently, and of course we had to do an At the Movies episode with Collateral Gaming, so here we are! How well does Illumination and Nintendo's first attempt at a feature film starring the beloved Italian plumbers and friends since 1993 (a movie we also featured on the podcast a few seasons back) work? Is it well-written? How are the performances, headed by Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as the titular brothers, as well as Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogen? How many possible references and Easter eggs to the franchise can they cram into a 92-minute animated picture? Take the Warp Pipe with Beau and Ash into the Mushroom Kingdom, as we answer these questions and more. Also, stay tuned for our Season Finale on Corvette Summer, which should be out very soon, as well as more At the Movies features on Collateral Cinema before we launch Season Seven in October. Wahoo!

Beau, Robert, and Ash blaze it up as we dissect the first View Askewniverse film, released in 1994 and introducing the iconic stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob. Where does it stand today amongst Smith's filmography and cinematic universe, or simply as an independently produced movie? Grab a bong, blunt, or whatever you got, and smoke it up with us, because the #fourtwenty festivities are as of yet not over!

SHOWNOTES: Hold it! Court is now in session for the trial of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, as presided by Collateral Gaming and Collateral Cinema. We recently teamed up to check out Takashi Miike's Ace Attorney film, and now we're checking out the source material, as Ash and Beau cross-examine the very title that started it all in Part 1! Originally released in 2001 on the GBA, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney surprised the world when it was brought to the DS a few years later, meeting unprecedented success for an unconventional type of video game at that time. But how much fun are this "lawyer simulator" visual novel adventure game and its successors, really? Get our verdict on the latest Collateral Media collaboration special, and stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be discussing the remaining 2 titles of the trilogy: Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations!

SHOWNOTES: Take that! Collateral Cinema is joined by Collateral Gaming at the defense bench, as we cross-examine Takashi Miike's movie adaptation of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney! Continuing our #Miikeversary celebration this year, we decided it was high time to explore Miike-sensei's take on the courtroom drama visual novel adventure series. Beau and Ash discuss the Ace Attorney film as a Miike work and as a video game movie, comparing and contrasting it with the legendary director's filmography as well as the source material in this case. If you enjoyed our take on this franchise, stay tuned for Collateral Gaming's part of the collaboration event, as we join them for a look at the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy! Or if not...
