Matt and Marlene are trying the newest Cheez-Its on this episode, and they're pairing it with the recommended white wine! Fancy!

We watched the much more recent, animated Super Mario Bros. Movie to compare it against the one from 1993. This one clearly hews much closer to the look and feel of the video games -- but is that a good thing?

It's the NEW Snack Situation! Matt is now joined by his life partner, Marlene, and they're bringing some other changes with them, which you'll hear about in the episode! To kick off this new era, M&M are trying nine different flavors of M&M's, and then ranking them!(NOTE: There's more background noise here than we would have wanted, thanks to a new mic setup we were doing for the first time. We'll have less bag rustling in the future!)

Mario Madness begins as we take on the live-action 1993 movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo. Is it as bad as people have been saying it is for 30 years?

Duncan Hines has released a line of Dolly Parton-branded baked goods mixes, and we tried the brownies in an effort to see if Dolly's influence has made box brownies transcend their typical taste.

We're off strike, and it's Christmas! So we're watching the 2022 movie where David Harbour plays a Santa who punches people, and see if it lives up to the promise of "Die Hard" with Santa.

Halloween is almost here, and we're eating the food most traditionally associated with it: cereal! It's cereal, right?

We're taking on this 2021 Paramount+/WWE Studios animated monster wrestling movie this month, and there's a lot to like! But also, the wrestling is kind of all wrong.

The snack podcast the MAN doesn't want you to hear! Yes, Chris and Matt are trying some alcoholic tea from their favorite fast-food chicken place on this month's show.

With the recent release of a new, good Dungeons and Dragons movie, we decided to go back to this first try, which doesn't seem to include much that can actually be called D&D at all. But Jeremy Irons does want their blood to rain down from the sky.

Chris and Matt have never tried a Shamrock Shake before, because they aren't mint guys. So how does this St. Paddy's classic measure up considering these predispositions?

Did the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe really change? Can a man really love himself as much as DTRJ seems to? What is the worst needledrop? We probe all these questions and more.

We can't get away from the advertising for these, so we figured, why fight it? We tried 'em. But the big question we can't get away from is, how could these possibly improve on regular pizza?

In lieu of a Christmas feature this year, we took on a couple of Disney+ holiday specials! Let's find out whether they scratch that holiday itch.

"But Matt and Chris," you're saying. "Why are you trying snacks from a country that doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving during Thanksgiving month?" Well, we have a good reason, of course. Listen to find out what it is.

Does this horror comedy that pits a totally silent Nicolas Cage against a coterie of animatronic characters from a children's party destination end up being as fun as it seems? We investigate.Go to manscaped.com and use the offer code RINGTHEBELL to get 20% off and free shipping!

We're trying a drink that is shockingly not a Sandman TV series tie-in and some ice cream that definitely is a Netflix promotion, but also is confusingly marketed, on this month's episode!Go to manscaped.com and use the offer code RINGTHEBELL to get 20% off and free shipping on your order!

It's a celebration of regained senses and a birthday on this episode, so we're trying some very thick cookies this time around. How do the offerings from Crumbl Cookies stack up?

We finally watched this Indian historical, musical action epic after everyone told us it ruled. Guess what? It ruled.

If this is your first Snack Situation episode, you've chosen the right one. We've got a little bit of everything we do: International snacks (from Mexico), some mainstream American chips, and even a snack-cessory. How are Flamin' Hot Cool Ranch Doritos? Is the Snactiv an effective snacking tool? Are chili-covered gummi bears any good? We'll answer all those questions and more.

Is this infamous 1991 flop starring Bruce Willis deserving of some critical reevaluation? Is it good, actually? Is it better than its reputation, at least? Or was everyone who hated it right? Only one way to find out.

There's a new Batman movie, which means there are tie-in food items, most notably this weird pizza-like monstrosity from Little Caesar's. Is it any good? It's up to us to decide.

It's February, and love is in the air. Well, for some. Us, we're watching the 2013 Ryan Reynolds/Jeff Bridges comic adaptation R.I.P.D. and feeling other emotions.

Our pal in Australia, Lucas Brown, sent us another box of snacks, so we're trying them all this week! They include Chinese potato chip flavors and more chocolates from New Zealand!

It's (nominally) a Christmas movie. About a dog. With psychic powers. Being chased by the U.S. government. With multiple explosions. And a drone. So is that...good? Well, we watched to try to find out. Listen and see what we thought.

Matt's never seen a Princess Switch movie before, so why not start now? He's got some questions for Chris, who's seen them all, about this Netflix holiday movie series that stars three Vanessas Hudgens.

Matt's visiting Chris in Minneapolis, Minnesota, so obviously they had to check out the local hot spots. And what spot is hotter than a cowboy-themed pizza buffet that also has fried chicken?

Instead of run-of-the-mill Halloween candy, we took a different tack for Spooky Month, trying some supposedly "haunted" and quite spicy chips from the corn-grinders at Paqui, along with another, less spooky flavor!

Matt and Chris entered the world of interactive films this month! We decided to take on the twists and turns of the new WWE/Netflix interactive movie where The New Day arrives at, and then tries to escape from, the Undertaker's suspiciously suburban home.

We've threatened it for years, and now we've done it. In advance of a reboot of a franchise in a couple months, Matt and Chris watched the last movie in the Milla Jovovich/Paul W.S. Anderson Resident Evil movie series with very little context to help them.

Chris and Matt are back and snackin'! To celebrate our return, we went to the regional fast food chain that marries the Midwest and South, Culver's, to try some fried cheese curds.

We watched the thing, and compared it to the other thing.

After getting a sample in a meal kit box, we tried some of these new(ish) cheese snacks on the show this week. Are they as good as Cheez-Its, or even Doritos?

Lady Gaga will be the first entertainer to ever obtain an EGOOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Oreo, Tony). But are her Oreos any good? We find out!

We did it. We watched the Cats and then we talked about Cats.

On the show this month, Matt and Chris made and tried some selections from the Dungeons and Dragons cookbook, Heroes Feast!
