April 06, 2022 06:00 - 41.5 MBJason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are going back for one more run into the bleak future that is Dead Space.

March 24, 2022 05:59 - 48.3 MBVanessa Cahill, John Lucero, and Jason Arriola are once again getting caught up in the Mishima curse.

Multimedia Failure 72 – Resident Evil: Afterlife
March 09, 2022 07:00 - 42.9 MBVanessa Cahill, John Lucero, and Jason Arriola are, much like this movie, in 3D!

January 26, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 161 MBYup, after putting out over 70 episodes, we decided to re-air one.

Multimedia Failure 55 – Hitman
May 05, 2021 19:05 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBJason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are checking out a movie that is at least in the same ballpark as the source material.

April 21, 2021 10:53 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBJason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero go back to some happier stuff and watch Resident Evil: Extinction.

[…]

January 07, 2021 18:18 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBJason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are jumping into the fourth generation of Pokémon by watching Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai.
