Episode five, we've made it this far, why stop now? Each week I get the best and worst films on a particular theme and pit them against each other to see who comes out on top!

Late eighties and early nineties entertainment was dominated by a clash between two Japanese titans, with Nintendo battling Sega for supremacy in the world's front rooms. Each giant traded blows, although eventually they blew themselves out and young American upstarts Sony and Microsoft took over the fight to see who would be crowned king of the consoles. But that first war gave us two mascots to root for - Italian plumber Mario up against speedy blue hedgehog Mario. Their popularity inevitably led to spin off movies, with Super Mario Bros receiving a critical panning in 1993 and Sonic receiving a more favourable reception in 2020 - but which one is actually better? This episode aims to find out!
