Because a "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" theme was gonna take too much damn time to draw...
Nerd By Northwest #334 – “Halloween 2023”

I actually hadn't seen many new movies in 2023, and since I already did Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves earlier this year, the Halloween theme this year was down to Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Super Mario Bros. A Guardians of the Galaxy 3 theme would have been cool, but the idea of trying to draw a Rocket Racoon costume for Roscoe was honestly too intimidating. But a mushroom-shaped Goomba? WAY easier...
I was originally going to have Cam dressed as Donkey Kong, but I thought about Bowzer's "Peaches" song and decided to go that route instead.

I've not seen the movie, although it was running on an open air screen when we were in Boston.
I was wondering if it would be this one
or even this (great bassline)
Never heard the second one, but as a child of the 80's & 90's I can recognize the first one in my sleep! I remember having a manager a long time ago who'd hum that song all the time, which guaranteed that earworm would inevitably spread to the rest of us... 😏
The Stranglers had some great songs. They may have been before your time. A lot of my music references come from the 70s.

Yeah I'm a late Gen-X'er so was too young to really remember the 70's or the music. Though that Stranglers video and the cars & clothes in it sure did remind me a lot of all the 70's era movies & TV shows I watched on cable TV as a kid!

I like the super Mario Bros better. Its classic.
Can't go wrong with classics.
Yeah, I agree. Not only a fun movie, but definitely brought back a lot of nostalgia for us in the Nintendo generation as well...
