Weekend Discussion - April 4, 2026

Welcome to the weekend, everyone. No April fooling to be found here.

Welcome to the weekend! Let's jump into the Saturday edition of Weekend Discussion.

Stupor Mario World

If somehow you're under the impression that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie represents the nadir of animation (and I've seen those takes, Bluesky!), then you've never seen the absolute trash that was the old animated Mario shows.

Helluva funeral

Otherwords goes into the linguistics of time.

The Gladiators are back... again

American Gladiators is back for another reboot. Try and forget the last one happened.

Weekend Grooves

Take us home, BTS.
