This video is awesome. *promote

My kids are big video game fans, especially all things Mario related, so I think they're going to be pretty interested to watch this.

Great find!

Ok, they can say that and maybe it’s true, but I just want to point out that in the amazing 1953 French film, The Wages of Fear, the main characters are Mario and Luigi, and Luigi looks just like super Mario down to the hat (the Mario character is played by Yves Montand, a skinny French actor). I’ve always found that to be far too coincidental.

Wow, I'd never heard of that film and its Mario & Luigi coincidence.

This was a great episode and got me and my boys heavy into watching the Gaming Historian channel. This needs to have many more votes! *promote
