What does Super Mario, Prince of Persia and Mortal Kombat all have in common? They're all terrible movies based on some seriously good games. Movie adaptations of iconic videogames are hardly a new thing but given the results over the last two decades maybe it's time to call it quits.

On this week's BEAM Me Up podcast, the boys from NICE Entertainment discuss movies based on video game franchises, and why so many of them don't work. Also, they break down the ones that do work (Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog) and give their thoughts on how to make a good videogame to movie adaptation.
