On this week's episode, Sylvie and Chris do some intentional programming for once and celebrate the release of the (apparently mediocre) Super Mario Bros. movie with another video game adaptation from the Mario franchise that most definitely DID NOT have the same amount of care, money, or consideration of fan opinion underlying its production. It's another artifact of early CGI animation during the peak of bad videogame adaptations, it's Nelvana's Donkey Kong Country. While we get into the seemingly unbreakable "curse of the videogame adaptation," we dig into why this janky, awkward, and unnecessarily musical interpretation of the classic SNES series did not, indeed, break that curse. But hey, at least it gave us that one meme with Donkey Kong's ass, right?
