This episode tells the story of how Super Mario Bros went down, and how an alternate cut was found, restored — and released online this year. SMB screenwriter Parker Bennett, along with the curators of the Super Mario Bros archive, Ryan Hoss and Steven Applebaum, help tell this story of a maligned, misguided movie that now has cult status and genuine love.We also recount the time Dennis Hopper lost it.
