Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Carl--having returned from his Vegas adventure--and Tony discuss the rampant success of The Super Mario Bros Movie and ponder if video game films might be the Next Big Thing.

Plus! Are the kids alright? The Daily Mail are all in a tizz about Channel 4's Naked Attraction. Child exploitation or body positivity? We find out.

And they discuss, as pop group Busted prepare a comeback tour, whether nostalgia in culture is too much or a warm blanket in cold times.
