This Movie Actually Exists. Somehow this happened.  Bob Hoskins hated being Mario.  The crew was miserable.  There were something like 9 screenwriters.  Strippers had to be removed from the final cut.  Dennis Hopper is a germaphobe King Koopa who takes a mud bath. I love this movie. Contact us: Twitter: @HOTDogcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hairofthedogcast Email us: hairofthedogcast@gmai...
