Episodes
Postal (2007)
July 12, 2024 11:00 - 39 minutes - 42.1 MBWe review "Postal", Uwe Boll's ultimate challenge to good taste. If you think you've seen the bottom of the Boll, you have NO IDEA. CONTENT WARNING: 9/11, racist stereotypes, mass shootings, kidnapping, exploiting the disabled, baby manslaughter, religious cults, explicit language... look, this whole episode is a trigger for SOMEBODY. Don't blame us if you listen to this one! Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was composed by Jac...
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)
June 14, 2024 11:00 - 36 minutes - 41.4 MBWe review "Five Nights at Freddy's", where a man is tricked into working night security at a haunted children's playhouse, and must survive against a collection of evil animatronics. It may be based on the original game, but this film arrived so late it feels like Coke Zero compared to Willy's Wonderland. CONTENT WARNING: child murder, neglectful parents, greedy relatives, Matthew Lillard overacting, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr....
Heavenly Sword (2014)
May 24, 2024 11:00 - 32 minutes - 36.9 MBWe review "Heavenly Sword", a Chosen One™ story with worse presentation than the 2007 PS3 game it's based on, and even less engagement with its audience. The title may promise heaven, but we found something else entirely. CONTENT WARNING: raping/pillaging, deaf sentries, murdered villagers, re-murdered villagers, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was composed by Jack Feerick, and performed and realized by Sam Feer...
Ni No Kuni (2019)
May 03, 2024 11:00 - 34 minutes - 36.6 MBWe review "Ni No Kuni", a story about a fantasy world linked to our own by the worst thing possible: a "chosen one" anime hero with an IQ equal to his age. CONTENT WARNING: jealous boyfriends / mass murderers / multi-dimensional terrorists (and that's all just one guy!), mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was composed by Jack Feerick, and performed and realized by Sam Feerick.
Gran Turismo (2023)
April 05, 2024 11:00 - 38 minutes - 39 MBWe review "Gran Turismo", the true story of a Nissan exec who watched The Last Starfighter too many times and thought "Why not this, but with race cars?" Can video game skills translate to a real race track? Don't cheat and look up the story on Wiki, experience it with us! CONTENT WARNING: reckless management, car crashes, father and son conflict, anti-"Nick" propaganda, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was com...
The King of Fighters (2009)
March 15, 2024 11:00 - 36 minutes - 40.5 MBWe review "The King of Fighters", where a young Japanese boy out for revenge trains to become a white man and travel to another dimension for a chance to become the KING OF FIGHTERS™ because... something to do with a floating, pulsating ball of slithering energy snakes? Yeah, we're not sure how to process that one, either. CONTENT WARNING: mind control, secret lesbians, snake orgies, mid-movie whitewashing, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and ...
Detention (2019)
October 31, 2023 18:02 - 33 minutes - 37.6 MBHAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE! This spooky season we watch "Detention", a haunting mystery about two students trapped inside a hellscape that may well be of their own making. Is there anything scarier than going back to school? How about a 1960s Taiwanese school at the height of the White Terror... and also ghosts? CONTENT WARNING: military oppression, icky student-teacher relationships, teenage jealousy, damnation loops, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bre...
Final Fantasy: Advent Children COMPLETE (2005)
September 29, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 58.5 MBIt's our last stop on our Franchise Tour, and we're wrapping things up with something special: our first sequel! We review "Final Fantasy: Advent Children COMPLETE", a feature length CG cutscene that tries to follow up one of the biggest video games ever. Are you curious what happened after the events of Final Fantasy VII? Do you want to know more about your favourite character, perhaps Barret or Yuffie or even Cid? Well, so do we, and that's AFTER watching this film... Prepare y...
HALO Legends (2010)
September 08, 2023 03:08 - 35 minutes - 57.8 MBWe look at an anthology of anime-tinged tales from the HALO universe, with stories ranging from educational to badass to downright silly. Don't worry, fanboys: they're probably not (all) canon. Want more Master Chief madness? Here's him "returning" a bomb to The Covenant, from the game HALO 2: Giving the Covenant back their Bomb - Halo 2 Anniversary CONTENT WARNING: interplanetary war, planned mortality for children, suicide by mech, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc...
Dragon Quest: Your Story (2019)
August 25, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 59.6 MBThis is it, listener. We might have found the single best video game movie we've ever seen or will see. Join us for "Dragon Quest: Your Story", a movie that manages to both adapt a popular entry from the RPG franchise while also doing something entirely new and interesting. This movie was so surprising that I won't even fill this synopsis with snarky jokes (well... maybe in the content warning). CONTENT WARNING: interrupted inspirational speeches, unavoidable side eye, digital girlf...
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
August 12, 2023 01:41 - 55 minutes - 83.4 MBWe continue our look at franchise adaptations with "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", a story about heroes fighting to save the planet with the power of love. It clearly has the broad strokes of the franchise in that setup, but does it remain faithful in its execution? Prepare yourself for the first (and ONLY) film by Square Pictures. Here's a link to the DVD extra spoofing the music video for THRILLER: Michael Jackson - Thriller - Final Fantasy CONTENT WARNING: invisible monsters...
The Witcher - Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)
July 28, 2023 11:00 - 37 minutes - 56.4 MBWe've heard the argument that video game films are bad because "games focus on the gameplay, not on the plot". That may be true, but video games do offer the player fascinating worlds to explore. So what if you just adapt the world to a film, and not a specific game? Sounds like another tangent series to me! We begin our latest journey with "The Witcher - Nightmare of the Wolf", an anime adapting the game (or the Netflix series, OR the books... yeah, we know) about magic-infused monster ...
Super Mario Bros. (2023)
May 12, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 54.1 MBIt took 30 years, but Nintendo has finally forgiven Hollywood for "Super Mario Bros: The Movie (1993)". The titular plumber is back on the silver screen, but does this Mario have what it takes? Can the character that started the video game movie curse be the one to break it once and for all? Strap on your red or green overalls, everybody, and LET'S A GO!!! CONTENT WARNING: kidnapping (again), forced marriages (again... man, this seems familiar), impromptu rock ballads, mild language. ...
Fatal Frame (2014)
March 24, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 60.5 MBWe close out our international tour with "Fatal Frame", a Japanese horror film where a group of students at a Catholic all-girls school truly are lovers in a dangerous time. CONTENT WARNING: suicide, curses, homophobia, films that distort the very fabric of time itself, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was composed by Jack Feerick, and performed and realized by Sam Feerick.
Corpse Party (2015)
March 10, 2023 12:00 - 36 minutes - 58.5 MBWe review "Corpse Party", a Japanese horror film about love, loss, and why you should never trust your classmates when you're trying to escape a hell dimension. CONTENT WARNING: unintentionally satanic rituals, evil ghost children, possession, tongues, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was composed by Jack Feerick, and performed and realized by Sam Feerick.
Super Mario Bros. - The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! (1986)
February 24, 2023 12:00 - 25 minutes - 39 MBYou've heard of the Lost Levels, but what about the lost movie? We review "Super Mario Bros. - The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!", a Japan only release! This early foray into film cements Mario as the trailblazer of video game film adaptations. But why wasn't it released in North America? Was it not good enough, or were we just not ready for its power? Brace yourself for a tri-force of entertainment (and no, that's not a reference to the wrong franchise)! Watch the same ver...
Oneechanbara (2008) AND Oneechanbara 2: Vortex (2009)
February 10, 2023 12:00 - 37 minutes - 57.9 MBWe get more than we bargained for when we review "Oneechanbara" (AKA "Bikini Samurai Squad"), and it's sequel "Oneechanbara: Vortex”. Can scantily-clad heroines save the world from yet another undead apocalypse? Can samurai-cowgirl Aya stop her sister Saki's stupid schoolgirl schemes, from bloodthirsty rampages to skeletal resurrections? Can sequels be bothered to acknowledge ANYTHING from the previous film? It's time for a Double Dose of zombie-slaying action! CONTENT WARNING: sibli...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon (2007)
January 27, 2023 12:00 - 37 minutes - 59 MBWe're going international! For this tangent, we're looking at video-game-to-film adaptations made outside of North America. Does Hollywood just fail to understand the source material? Let's see if adding subtitles brings these films above subpar! First up is "Yakuza: Like a Dragon", a Tokyo crime film where the one-eyed man truly is king and the scriptwriter offers too many side quests for the audience to keep track of. CONTENT WARNING: gang wars, masochists, disinterested law e...
Cuphead Christmas Specials (XMAS SPECIAL 2022)
December 24, 2022 12:00 - 24 minutes - 40.1 MBMERRY CHRISTMAS, ONCE AGAIN! This year, we rekindle the joys of our childhood with the 2-part Cuphead Christmas Special. Settle in by the fire and witness a harrowing act of Christmas decorating with "Holiday Tree-dition", followed by a heartwarming tale of teaching ole' Beelzebub about the spirit of Christmas with "A Very Devil Christmas".

It's time for the final part of our 2022 Halloween celebration, Uwe Boll's very first video game adaptation EVER, "House of the Dead". Witness the genesis of a merciless creature, fated to consume and destroy everything it touches, to the horror of teens everywhere. Did I just describe the zombie leader attacking the partygoers on the island, or Uwe Boll himself? There's only one way to fi...
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2022 - PART 2! - Alone in the Dark (2005)
October 30, 2022 11:00 - 36 minutes - 54.3 MBThe Halloween frights continue with part 2 of our Uwe Boll Bonanza... "Alone in the Dark"! Christian Slater stars as an amnesiac orphan who must confront both early 2000s era CG and a militarized Smithsonian in order to learn the truth about himself... or he could just read about it at the orphanage. Seriously, it's all readily available in duo tangs and everything. Think this movie is bad? Here's a list of films that are apparently even WORSE, according to Rotten Tomatoes: List of ...
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2022 - PART 1! - Bloodrayne (2005)
October 28, 2022 03:08 - 37 minutes - 54.9 MBThis Halloween, we do something truly scary for video game fans... as we watch 3 Uwe Boll films BACK-TO-BACK!

Ratchet & Clank (2016)
September 02, 2022 11:00 - 35 minutes - 54.4 MBWe review "Ratchet & Clank", an all-ages space adventure that isn't so much based on the hit video game as it IS the video game... on demo mode. Is there such a thing as too faithful an adaptation? CONTENT WARNING: Deja Vu, betrayal, sheepinating, Deja Vu, mild language. Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr. Our theme music was composed by Jack Feerick, and performed and realized by Sam Feerick.

August 05, 2022 11:00 - 53 minutes - 81.1 MBWe review the Resident Evil reboot from 2021, featuring far less Jovovitch than we'd like but way more of the actual source material than we ever expected.

July 22, 2022 11:00 - 35 minutes - 56 MBWelcome to Season 4! Or, if you believe my confused narration, Season 3!*** This time we review "Angry Birds", where a 2 minute mobile game has mutated into a 90 minute cartoon that's maybe for kids (but maybe not).

CONTENT WARNING: carnivorous pigs, unsanitary drinking conditions, exploding fetuses, mild language. F...
The Running Man (1987)
May 06, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 133 MBWe close out our recent batch of video game related films with the 80's classic, "The Running Man". Let's consult the video game check list... An ex-soldier for our protagonist, framed for crimes he didn't commit? A deadly contest that risks the player's life in exchange for prizes if they win? A group of killer bosses with gimmicky powers to hunt our hero? A trio of weaker characters with bad pathfinding scripts that need to be escorted through the area? If you can't see how this...
War Games (1983)
April 15, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBAre video games the catalyst for World War III? We review "War Games", where a young Ferris Bueller showcases the most believable hacking skills in any Hollywood movie to outwit the most unbelievable portrayal of NORAD in any Hollywood movie.

US Army Captain Frank Dux enters the Kumite, a secret full-contact fighting tournament, to honour the legacy of his Shidoshi.
