Super Mario Bros. Pitch Meeting

In the early 1990’s, Mario and Luigi were all the rage. The Nintendo video game franchise had become a massive worldwide phenomenon, so it only made sense for Hollywood to try and cash in on it. The Super Mario Bros movie was the first movie based on a video game ever made, and it did not exactly inspire confidence in the genre.
Starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper and Samantha Mathis, the movie is completely bonkers and raises a whole lot of questions. Like how did dinosaurs also evolve into humans? Why do none of the characters have anything to do with their video game counterparts? Why did they go all-in on the plumbing aspect? Why does President Koopa not just go through the portal? How did they think this would get a SEQUEL?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Super Mario Bros! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

"I don't care" pretty much sums up the entirety of the development of this movie.
-
"I... I just... I just don't care." --every person involved in this movie.
-
he writes he pitches but most importantly: he doesn't care
-
This is my favorite pitch meeting. This level of apathy and frustration is unmatched.
-
"no no, that would have completely messed with my acid trip" Lost it there 😆
-
“That would’ve completely messed with my acid trip”, this was my exact thought of the writers state of mind while watching this movie
-
"You know what they say about little girls, don't you? They never forget the first time they were kissed by a lizard" I don't even know how to try and describe how horrible this line was to hear with my own two ears
-
“ It would have completely messed with my acid trip” I’m laughing so hard!
-
I love how fervently he keeps saying "I don't care." That had me laughing more and more every time he said it.
-
“That would’ve completely messed with my acid trip.” He's got a point, you know.
-
I love how Ryan took a typical "mushrooms" joke and spun it into comedy gold.
-
"He's gonna try and get intimate with Daisy...." "Ohhh...no." Kills. Me. Every. Time.
-
'Manhatten' is actually old English for man who wears ten hats
-
Ah yes, Mario's second most popular quote: "I'm gonna break every bone in their bodies and THEN I'm gonna kill em"
-
"That sounds, you know, completely insane." Best Line
-
the amount of times Ryan says "I don't care" is TIGHT
-
"I don't care, I literally don't care." Not even about him being all over your back? He should probably get off that thing
-
“It’s exactly like that except not that at all” is that movie in a nutshell
-
Can't wait for the upcoming Mario movie pitch meeting
-
i've watched almost all the pitch meetings, and now coming back to rewatch this one, i think it's my favorite of all of them.
