There are two conflicting accounts of the Mario Brothers myth. One is of a “It’s-a-me-ing” doughboy and his good-natured sibling from a wonderland where toadstools dress in cat suits. The other, perpetuated by the Dustin Hoffman movie and the Saturday morning cartoon, is of two tough-guy plumbers from the Bronx.

The short films of Evan Daugherty are clearly motivated by the latter. *The Fixer* and *The Addict* look at the seedier side of Mario and his little brother “Lu,” These are not guys you’d want to run into in a back alley. Clearly inspired by crime dramas like *Crash* and *Drive* and *Traffic*, they’re pretty hilarious.
