“SNL” Imagines ‘Mario Kart’ as a Post Apocalyptic HBO Series Starring Pedro Pascal! [Video]
The star of HBO’s hit series “The Last of Us,” Pedro Pascal was the host of “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, and the sketch of the night brought Pascal into the world of another popular video game. Pascal plays the role of Super Mario in a sketch that imagines a faux HBO adaptation of “Mario Kart,” one that draws heavy inspiration from “The Last of Us” series.
Pascal’s Mario is tasked with getting Princess Peach to safety amid a post apocalyptic landscape, coming across other iconic characters from the Mario Bros. universe along the way.
Instead of the Clickers that Pascal is tasked with fending off in “The Last of Us,” he’s up against everything from the Goombas to Bowser in this horror take on the family-friendly games.
With recent films like The Mean One and Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, it seems like it’s only a matter of time until we get a real movie that unofficially turns Nintendo’s hit franchise into a nightmare. But there’s zero chance it’ll be as awesome as THIS faux trailer promises…
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
