    In today’s episode of The Cinematic Schematic, we’re breaking out the D20 dice and classic controllers for another double-feature review of Dungeons & Dragons vs The Super Mario Bros. Movie. It’s time to power up because this conversation is for the gamers.

    Firstly, we kick things off with a mini-review of Air, Ben Affleck’s latest film about a different kind of game–basketball. Or rather, the story about Air Jordans, the most popular basketball shoes ever made. Hosts Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman then chime in wit their short reviews and verdicts on the film.

    We’re next joined by Caleb Haldane, the host and producer of the Red Six Podcast, for two spoiler-free reviews starting with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, before subsequently taking a look at Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie starring Chris Pratt’s Mario. You could also call this discussion a Dungeons & Dragons vs The Super Mario Bros. Movie smash bros. face-off.

    Overall, which nostalgia trip has more legs to stand on as a movie? Finally, which should you see at the theater next? Tune in!
