Rifftrax Tackles Super Mario Bros.

The Rifftrax team of Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett has been tackling bad movies since their days on TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000, and now in coordination with IGN the trio has turned the spotlight on 1993's fondly remembered yet hard to watch Hollywood take on Nintendo's classic Super Mario Bros. starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper.  While not riffing the entire film, there are seven minutes of highlights worth your time.  If you're someone like me who eagerly corralled a group of friends to go see the movie on opening night in a haze of Nintendo-induced rapture that only a sixth grader can experience, then this take-down is all the more sweeter (and a good reminder that I haven't actually seen the complete film since I was a kid so as not to tarnish the fun memories that I have of that evening).
