    My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel’s original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

    People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.

    But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.
