Super Mario BROs

Matt and Andy dive into the bizarre world of the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie… where Mario is cyberpunk, dinosaurs run the city, and nothing feels quite right. From wild creative choices to behind-the-scenes chaos, they break down what went wrong and ask the ultimate question… is this movie secretly fun, or just a total disaster?

Remake or Mistake 1 – 80s Edition

Remake… or mistake? In this episode, Matt puts Andy on the spot with a new game: Remake or Mistake – 80’s Edition 🎬 With zero prep, they dive into classics like Die Hard, Back to the Future, and The Breakfast Club to decide if they should be remade today… or left alone forever. Hot takes, nostalgia, and plenty of bromance chaos.

A Streetcar Named Fighter

This week on The Reel Bromance, we’re reviewing Street Fighter (1994) — the live-action adaptation of the iconic arcade fighting game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia. Set in the fictional nation of Shadaloo, the film follows Guile’s mission to stop General M. Bison from world domination, while familiar game characters are reimagined as soldiers, spies, and scientists in one of the most aggressively 90s movies ever made. We break down the plot, discuss Raul Julia’s unforgettable performance, compare it to other video game adaptations like Mortal Kombat, and score it on the Bro-ometer. Is it terrible? Is it amazing? Is it both? Round 1… Fight.

Episode 1 – Brotal Kombat

Finish him… or at least score him on the Bro-ometer. The Reel Bromance Podcast kicks off its debut video episode by stepping into the arena with Mortal Kombat (1995) — the original, techno-fueled video game movie that left a permanent mark on 90s kids everywhere. Andrew and Matt revisit the island tournament that decided the fate of Earthrealm, breaking down the iconic soundtrack, memorable fights, questionable acting choices, and why this movie somehow works when so many video game adaptations didn’t. From Johnny Cage’s nut shots to Goro’s four-armed intimidation tactics, nothing is off-limits. Does Mortal Kombat deliver a flawless victory, or is it a cinematic fatality? There’s only one way to find out… TEST YOUR MIGHT.

Episode 10 – The Good, the Bad, and the Bromantical

We made it to double digits! In this special 10th episode, we look back on our first nine adventures in bromantic movie talk — the highs, the lows, and the wildly debatable Bro-ometer scores. We revisit favorite scenes, tally up who's crushing the guessing game, and get into a discussion on the movie experience as it is today. It’s a celebration, a reflection, and some general BS-ing.
