Listen to this episode to hear them eulogize the podcast, riff on the word "penultimate," and get incredibly sidetracked for the second-to-last time.

The thrilling conclusion to Mark and Jeremy's modern reboot of Captain N: The Game Master. Can Kevin murder Mega Man and steal back Princess Lana's love? Can Mother Brain secure the three boxes that contain her stuff? Can Jeremy get through reading in King Hippo's voice without destroying his vocal chords?

Writing a Reboot of Captain N - Part 3

Jeremy got that vaccine fever (horny for vaccines) for a few days, so we decided to take a week off, in fear that an extra loopy episode could turn our upcoming Part 3 into a 4-Parter. Woof. So here's an oldie from the Captain N days!   Pat from Castle Super Beast joins the podcast to talk about how goddamn fucked up Captain N: The Game Master is! Simon Belmont shoots himself in the ass with a love arrow, accidentally forcing him to fall in love with Mother Brain. Meanwhile, Mega Man and Kid Icarus meet another deeply fucked up cow. But most importantly, the gang fights, for about 5 seconds, Mr. Bones — a cool 80s skeleton man wearing a skeleton shirt. Mr. Bones fuckin rules, you guys. You're gonna love Mr. Bones.

Writing a Reboot of Captain N: The Game Master

Mark and Jeremy play SKI SNIPER, a game where you just murder skiers in cold blood from afar with a sniper rifle. The game has absolutely no lore, so the boys are quick to fill in the blanks, discovering that the sniper is upset about all these skiers fucking his wife. By the end of the episode... well, let's just say this sniper's wife isn't gonna be so satisfied.

Princess Toadstool for President

Mark and Jeremy watch and chat over an incredibly formative movie for both of them: 1. Oh sorry, I mean Wayne's World. Mark and Jeremy are so in tune with the Wayne's World series they just call it "1" and "2". They have a lot of (smart) opinions and fun facts they've picked up from years of rewatching this fun little romp.

The Hard Drive Podcast

We took a break from watching The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! to answer your questions about all sorts of shit! We cover many, many questions about which Mario characters we would like to fuck the most, who we would cast as who, how our lives are going, and more. Plus, we play the legendary clip where Captain Lou Albano says that if you do drugs you will "go to Hell before you die." Happy new year, paisanos!

Listener Questions!

Mark and Jeremy finally watch STAR KOOPA live on Twitch with commentary! Why is the show named Star Koopa instead of something better? Why does everyone have pointy lightsabers, including the stormkoopas? Why is Santa Claus in it? Why does Luigi have to give Santa Claus his old boots? Why does Jeremy's voice sound like he's one of those blacked-out anonymous people in a documentary? All this and more... answered in STAR KOOPA!

Star Koopa

What's stranger? Live action Mario getting a smelly piece of mail to announce the impending arrival of a bizarrely-cast celebrity guest? Or the fact that they didn’t draw a face on the only new character this episode? Both wrong! King Koopa's got a Nazi armband in this one because apparently that's the only thing from Indiana Jones these writers knew about.

Raiders of the Lost Mushroom

Mario and the gang head to Caveman Land in search for Mugga the Medicine Woman and Mario straight up dies in the first five minutes. Luigi then embarks on a Quest for Pizza that involves one of the show's most disgustingly horny moments yet when he has to milk a giant cow dinosaur, who is wearing lipstick and falls in love with him. Meanwhile, in the live action, the brothers discover a priceless painting called 'The Second to Last Supper.' Mark and Jeremy spend over five minutes discussing whether there are more, fewer, or the same amount of volcanoes now as opposed to dinosaur times.

Quest for Pizza

Today’s animated segment takes place in the Wild Wild West (neither the show nor the movie) and Mark and Jeremy agree that it is an episode of television in which things happen. In the live action segment, Luigi gets zonked on the fuckin’ head and wakes up thinking he’s a game show host. It’s horrifying. Luckily, Mario has legendary game show host Jim Lange’s phone number and he gets him to come do some kind of exorcism. Come for the Mario breakdown, stay for the discussions of soup, Judaism, and the unveiling of Jeremy’s impression that has to be heard to be believed!

Woolie Madden

Woolie Madden (Castle Super Beast, Woolie Versus) joins us to discuss Mario and the gang's descent into the dark and spooky TURTLEVANIA! King Koopula and his tomato sauce-sucking vampires chase after Mario and Luigi set to an inexplicable cover of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Did they even get the rights to that or did they just shrug and say "fuck it"? In the live action, Luigi learns how to make objects disappear from the help of famous(?) magician Harry Blackstone Jr, but accidentally uses his mastery of the dark arts to make his own brother Mario leave this plane of existence. When Mario's soul left his body, was he in Hell? Oh also we fan-cast a reboot of the Mario Show and wonder what it would be like if Dave Bautista and Daniel Day-Lewis played Mario and Luigi in 2019! Cool!

Count Koopula w/ Woolie Madden

Suprise: this episode is dumb and bizarre! Mario and the gang find themselves in the story of Romeo and Juliet — er, I mean Romano and Joliet — and King Koopa's pulling the strings in an actual arms race between the two warring families. Meanwhile, in the live action, some guy name Pietro shows up to announce that he's the long lost third Mario brother (and that he wants to sell the family business!) Is he the real deal? Find out in the section that the show titled "Fake Bro." Plus, we talk trampolines, our favorite skydiving movies, and the fact that no matter where Mario and Luigi wind up, every single side character sounds like some Italian lady from The Bronx.

Mario and Joliet

Mark and Jeremy agree to agree that this episode of The Super Mario Bros Super Show kind of sucks. That, however, doesn’t stop them from having fun digging into this week’s very strange take on Hawaiian culture! Koopa impersonates a fire god and tells the townsfolk of Waki-Waki to chuck Princess Toadstool into a volcano, and so they chuck Princess Toadstool into a volcano. In the live action segment, a traveling hustler named Anjelica sells Luigi a watch that makes him do everything backwards. Stupid pretty it’s! Along the way, the boys discuss water cooler culture, whether or not this is all a dream, and the show’s first ever LVP award is bestowed. Bridge the to!

Too Hot to Handle

After a freak accident in the Kingdom of Youth turns Princess Toadstool into an infant, Mario, Luigi, and Toad all learn the very obvious lesson that they are in no way equipped to care for a child. Yep, this one's a parody of hit 1987 film Three Men and a Baby! The episode’s setting inspires Mark and Jeremy to ponder life, death, and whether or not they’d be able to convince people they were from 2019 if they ever traveled through time. They also agree that this episode is an important piece of Mario history, as they're pretty sure this is the first time we see one of the main Mario cast members hanging out in baby form. Oh, and in the live action, some girl’s dog is missing.

Two Plumbers and a Baby

In perhaps the show's first ever effort to ACTUALLY parody the thing the episode is titled after, Mario and Luigi head to the Mushroom Woods to visit Princess Toadstool's sick grandmother. King Koopa quickly gets rid of Gramma so he can wear her clothes and get into her bed, we meet a talking Big Bad Wolf who wears a cape, and Toad wields a fucking axe. Meanwhile in the live action, Luigi practices his British accent in case he ever gets to meet the Queen of England (rude?) and why don't you take a wild guess who shows up to the apartment.

Little Red Riding Princess

It's the third-to-last Legend of Zelda episode and the first sentence uttered is, "Boy it sure is hot today, Daddy." Zelda's dad wants to build a royal water park in Hyrule, which is quickly attacked by a bunch of giant water people (and the King immediately thinks it's bullshit). Meanwhile in the live action, the pizza delivery girl tries to fuck Mario. Yep, it's a horny one.

Kevin Flynn

Hard Drive editor Kevin Flynn joins Mark and Jeremy to talk about today’s adventure to Sockhop Land, where Koopa the Kool kidnaps Princess Toadstool in an attempt to get her to go steady with him. This, of course, means that Mario and Luigi have to put Elvis’ living, talking shoes onto his feet so that he may become unfrozen. Then everyone has a big nice car race. In the live action segment, Mario and Luigi get out of the plumbing game and relaunch their careers as radio DJs known as The Whispering Plumbers.

YouTube all-star Jirard Khalil (The Completionist) joins us to discuss another legendary Legend of Zelda episode! Ganon sets off an evil plan to trick Link into turning into a frog by rescuing a woman and kissing her, even though she’s actually a mummy. That’s the actual premise of this episode and it’s not even the silliest part! Plus, in the live action, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark shows up to mostly insult Luigi after Mario turns HIM into a mummy. Lots of mummy-related hijinks in this absolutely out of control episode!

Legend of Zelda: Kiss’n Tell w/ The Completionist

In the live action segment of today’s Super Mario Bros Super Show!, Susanna Ross (Yes, THAT Susanna Ross, the one they made up for this episode) has ditched her backup singers and knows just the plumbers she wants to replace them with. It’s Mario and Luigi! If you think this episode doesn’t end with them singing ‘Baby Love,’ in the basement dressed like Diana Ross &amp; The Supremes, well then I have got something shocking to tell you.  In the animated portion of the episode, Koopa wants to make a Frankenstein but then he slips and accidentally becomes a Frankenstein himself and so Mario and the crew have to Real Steel Koopa’s original Frankenstein so they can beat Koopa, who’s a Frankenstein now. Then Koopa falls in some water and it’s fine. At some point Toad yells “Toadronimo!” and it’s really just a whole lot of malarkey, frankly.

Koopenstein

Today’s episode makes a whole bunch of no sense. Mario and Luigi go fishing, even though they have plans to go to the big plumber’s hoedown later that night. All the prettiest girls in Brooklyn will be there, you see. As soon as they leave, their apartment is invaded by their southern cousins, Mario Joe and Luigi Bob. You’re probably not going to believe this, but in the four minutes that they’re house sitting for the boys, Donna Douglas from The Beverly Hillbillies shows up. What are the odds?! In the animated segment, Princess Toadstool agrees to marry Koopa in the hopes that he will turn a bunch of toad people back from the rocks he turned them into earlier. This being Koop’s big day, we also get to meet his mother! In addition to trying to make sense of all this, Mark and Jeremy also learn about something called Rock Lords and realize that deep down we all just want to fuck Toad.

Do You Princess Toadstool Take This Koopa…?

“Hey, did we do pirates yet?” he asked the room full of Mario writers, to no response. “Fuck it." And with that, today’s episode of The Super Mario Bros Super Show was born. On today’s program, Magic Johnson returns for the first ever repeat celebrity cameo and it’s exactly as awkward as his first appearance, most likely due to both of these segments clearly being filmed in the same hurried afternoon. This one has something to do with a trophy. It’s honestly hard to tell. And then on the animated high seas of Pirate World, we are treated to a buckswashlin’ adventure that introduces fun characters like Captain Clump, Patches the Parrot, Blackbeard Koopa, and two very familiar looking pirates named Captain Kidder and Long John Spaghetti, who this insentient paragraph of text suspects is actually the Mario Brothers in disguise. What is it like to love?

Hi Ho Paisanos! Mark and Jeremy are joined by What A Cartoon! and Talking Simpsons cohosts Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert to discuss this week’s episode, which finds Mario becoming The Lone Ranger for no discernible reason before rescuing his friends from Billy the Koopa. In the live-action, the boys are tasked with babysitting Mrs. Periwinkle’s pet fish and if you think they don’t murder it and then lie their way into being paid for the job still, we hope you enjoy your first episode of this show!

Link turns into a ghost and only Zelda can see him because she's in love with him or some shit holy fuck we talked to BOB FORWARD! Bob, who wrote nearly every single episode of the Zelda cartoon sheds some MAJOR light on the mysteries of this show! We get the origin of "excuse me, princess!" an explanation for why Ganon teleports all the time, and yes UNPROMPTED HORNINESS. The podcast takes one whole step forward and there's no way we're taking two back.

Ashley Oh

The great Ashley Oh from The Polygon Show joins the pasta paisanos to discuss this intricately plotted homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s masterpiece Herlock Solmes. Professor Kooparity has enslaved Princess Toadstool’s people (?) so they need the help of the world’s greatest detective (??) to free them by insulting Koopa for holding the world record for failing kindergarten the most times (???). In the live action, Mario and Luigi win the award for Plumber of the Year, which is most certainly a result of them being the only plumbers left in a post-apocalyptic Brooklyn. I know we say this a lot, but this episode of the Super Show is so fucking weird and funny.
