Galaxy Movie! Joining me is returning guest Alyssa Portela—back after three years since she helped break down The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A software engineer working in the video game industry, Alyssa brings fresh insight into how games translate to the big screen.

We dive deep into what makes this new Mario adventure shine (or not), from its story and visuals to how it captures the magic of the beloved games. Along the way, Alyssa shares her top four favorite movies, giving us a peek into the films that shaped her taste.

We also look ahead at other upcoming video game adaptations and whether Hollywood is finally cracking the code on bringing games to life. And to wrap things up, we play a fun round of “Real or Made Up?”—where Alyssa has to guess whether a video game title is legit or something I completely invented.

It’s a fun, nostalgic, and insightful episode you won’t want to miss!

This week, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most talked-about releases of the year: The Drama. Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, this A24 film starts off like a dreamy rom-com—but quickly spirals into something way darker, weirder, and honestly… pretty divisive.

We break down the film’s wild tonal shift, that shocking central reveal, and whether it actually works or just goes too far. Is it a bold commentary on relationships and morality, or just controversy for the sake of it? We get into all of it—from performances to the ending—and give our unfiltered thoughts on whether this is a must-watch or a skip.

Plus, we zoom out and talk about why Hollywood seems to be leaning into darker, more uncomfortable storytelling lately, especially around taboo topics. The Drama isn’t alone here, and we explore what this trend says about audiences today.
