## Resource

Video Gaming's most popular plumbers have returned to the big screen! Indeed, last weekend's Super Mario sequel, Mario Galaxy, opened to huge box office numbers. But is it a delicious new slice of peach pie? Or a steaming pile of cinematic sewage? Luckily, Geekscape's resident video game and film aficionado Josh Jackson joins me to filter through Nintendo and Illumination's latest! Along the way, we'll talk 'Project Hail Mary', Josh being brainwashed by 'A Great Awakening', Tiny Chef at WonderCon, and look forward to what looks to be an insane Summer of pop culture conventions coming down the pipe!
