Surrealism and video games

Made by Kornhaber Brown and hosted by Mike Rugnetta, this is the first episode of a PBS series called New Idea Channel. 

This episode examines surrealism in the context of a discussion about the salient features of the Super Mario Brothers. They make a case for Mario's inclusion into a canon of art wider than "Video Game".

You know surrealism, right?
