SUPER MARIO BROS. 3

SUPER MARIO BROS. 3

Two weeks ago, Chad and Cristina reviewed the 1989 movie THE WIZARD featuring Fred Savage. Something that movie is best known for is its sneak preview of SUPER MARIO BROS 3. It seemed only natural that we would discuss that game for its own episode. But we had to bring in an expert in Nintendo NES games: James from  @BigOleWords [https://youtube.com/channel/UCsuIx5tQZAY9XJdseybyy0w]. Chad had been following James since he initially launched his channel 5 years ago and has been a member of his Patreon for quite some time now. Since this is a podcast, there's no gameplay footage in this episode; but rather a fun nostalgic discussion of our memories of this game back in 1990 and how it holds up today. We reminisce on Nintendo Power, the Super Mario Bros franchise, Easter Eggs scattered throughout the game, tips and tricks, and so much more. Plus, James delights us with some behind-the-scenes information on his channel.

ONE HIT WONDERS DRAFT

In this special crossover episode of The Retro Nostalgia Podcast, Chad and Cristina are joined by Don and Dude from  @AlbumNerdsPodcast  [https://youtube.com/channel/UCClzl6MVcQHZ4J7BU5QXclg] for a nostalgic music draft featuring some of the greatest one-hit wonders ever recorded! Using VH1's famous list of the 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders as our draft pool, each host builds a dream team of unforgettable songs from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. From A-ha's "Take On Me," Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," and Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen" to Blind Melon's "No Rain," Faith No More's "Epic," and Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny," we debate which songs truly stood the test of time and which artists deserved more than a single hit. Along the way, we share memories of MTV, cassette tapes, music videos, record stores, and growing up during the golden age of radio.

THE WIZARD

1989's THE WIZARD may not be a masterpiece, but it remains one of the most nostalgic movies ever made for Gen X gamers and Nintendo fans. In this episode of the Retro Nostalgia Podcast, Chad and Cristina revisit the cult classic starring Fred Savage, Christian Slater, Jenny Lewis, Luke Edwards, and Beau Bridges. Along the way, we relive the excitement of Super Mario Bros. 3, the Power Glove, Nintendo's Game Counselors, Video Armageddon, and the video game craze that defined the late 1980s. Was The Wizard really just a 90-minute commercial for Nintendo, or is there more to this beloved road-trip adventure than critics gave it credit for? Join us as we discuss the film's legacy, its portrayal of autism, memorable scenes at Universal Studios, and whether The Wizard still holds up for modern audiences nearly four decades later.
