Forget the animation budget. We need to know exactly how much of it was allocated to Yoshi's absolute dump truck.

Before everyone started fighting over whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, Lethal Weapon was already delivering R-rated Christmas action. Put some respect on its name.

Even the Star Children know who they came to see. Sorry, Peach.

Roger Murtaugh turns 50 and won't stop telling everyone how ancient he is. Danny Glover? He was about 40. Apparently, 40 was elderly in 1987.

The animated Mario movies made an absurd amount of money. There's just one problem: the 1993 live-action disaster is better. Yeah, we said it.

Minions & Monsters is now on Digital

The studio sent us this ridiculously fun Minions & Monsters box, so naturally we had to crack it open and see what was inside!

Thanks to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment for sending this our way!

The Mario universe keeps getting bigger, and so does the voice cast. We break down the new additions to Super Mario Galaxy and whether they actually work.

🌟 Well... they went to space.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie takes Mario and the gang beyond the Mushroom Kingdom and somehow left all three of us wondering how something this big could be this forgettable.

We're diving into what went wrong, why the movie failed to connect, and whether this might just be the most forgettable movie we've ever covered.

🎙️ The new episode of The Binge is OUT NOW!

After Hollywood's first attempt at Super Mario Bros. became infamous, Nintendo waited decades to try again.

Then the animated movie made more than $1.3 BILLION worldwide.

Turns out people really wanted another Mario movie.

THE BINGE IS BECOMING CHEERS TO THE FRANCHISE! 🍻🎬

After Super Mario Galaxy, we're officially changing our name.

Same Joshua. Same Tim. Same feed. Same movies, drinks, and arguments.

New name. New look.

Already subscribed? You don't have to do a thing.

One last Binge... then Cheers to the Franchise. 🍻

Rest in peace, Hayden Panettiere. Best known to horror fans as Kirby Reed in the Scream franchise, Panettiere has passed away at just 36 years old. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

Whatever criticisms we have about The Super Mario Bros. Movie, there's one thing we have to give it:

They absolutely understood how Peach's castle should look.

This is the kind of video-game accuracy we wanted to see.

Can we talk about the fact that Princess Peach just straight-up kills a dude at Bowser's wedding?

She lights the Bob-omb's fuse...

And then just leaves him there to EXPLODE.

🍑🔥 Jack Black somehow turned TWO ridiculous songs from video-game movies into Billboard Hot 100 hits.

“Peaches” became his first solo song to hit the chart. Then “Steve's Lava Chicken” followed and became the shortest song EVER to make the Hot 100 at just 34 seconds.

But which is better?

Peaches or Lava Chicken?

👑 We have a problem with The Super Mario Bros. Movie's Princess Peach.

After the infamous 1993 live-action movie, Mario finally returned to the big screen, and this time, audiences showed up in a big way, with $1.36 BILLION worldwide. 🤯

The Super Mario Bros. Movie became one of the five highest-grossing animated movies of all time.

And technically, it's the only non-sequel in the Top 5...

...unless we're counting it as the long-awaited sequel to 1993. 😂

The Rainbow Road sequence gives us Mario Kart on the big screen, but did it actually belong in the story?

We debate whether the sequence was a great way to incorporate another piece of Mario history... or whether the filmmakers just needed to cram Mario Kart into the movie somehow.

🍑 Bowser officially became a Billboard artist.

Jack Black’s ridiculously catchy “Peaches” wasn’t just one of the most memorable moments from The Super Mario Bros. Movie; it actually debuted at #83 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Black his first solo entry on the chart.

Be honest: how long was “Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches” stuck in your head after watching the movie? 😂

🔥 Bowser starts interrogating Luigi about Mario and Luigi lasts approximately... no time at all.

Your brother is counting on you, Luigi.
And you immediately tell the giant fire-breathing turtle EVERYTHING.

When Chris Pratt was announced as the voice of Mario, the internet had... opinions. And when we finally heard the voice, it only added fuel to the debate.

Was the backlash justified, or was everyone way too hard on him?
