Episode 162 - Gran Turismo (2023)

MGS: The Movie and Game Show ·

2023/12/24

After a much-needed reprieve, we return to the world of game-to-film adaptations with Neil Blomkamp's Gran Turismo. Based on the true story of gamer-turned-racer Jann Mardenborough, it's a fine enough retelling of a dream come true, and a decent little racing movie with just enough action and beauty to carry it through the more dull moments and puddle-deep character work.

MGS: The Movie and Game Show ·

2023/12/18

This week, we're examining The Game Awards. In particular, how the 3+ hour marketing blitz does little except eclipse what should be a celebration of gaming's artistic achievements. From bland reveals filled with shareholder-pleasing buzzwords and manufactured hype to games seemingly devoid of any artistic merit or personality, it's a night to forget, and we discuss striking a balance between commercialism and honoring the artistic essence of the gaming industry. --- Send in a

Episode 160 - Castlevania Nocturne (2023)

MGS: The Movie and Game Show ·

2023/12/12

This week, we return to the world of Castlevania with the most recent entry in the TV series, Castlevania: Nocturne. Although it isn't perfect, it does feel like a proper return to form, and the characters are compelling and fun, even if there are a few too many. It's been renewed for a second season, and we can't wait to see what's in store. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mgspodcast/message

Episode 159 - Wendell & Wild (2022)

MGS: The Movie and Game Show ·

2023/12/04

This week, we're concluding our review of the Jordan Peele/Henry Selick shared universe with the culmination their combined efforts, Wendell & Wild. Unfortunately, although it's pretty to look at and has lots to like, it falls a bit flat and is doomed to be fairly forgettable. Also, Dallin recorded his audio on the wrong microphone for this one because he's a doink. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mgspodcast/message

Episode 155 - Castlevania Season Four

MGS: The Movie and Game Show ·

2023/10/30

Happy Halloween! Although we still have lots of spooky content upcoming through the month of November, we celebrate today by talking about one of the most shocking declines in quality of any series ever, with Castlevania Season 4. Although the bones of greatness are still there, ultimately this final season falls very flat. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mgspodcast/message

It's been over three years since we last talked about The Nightmare Before Christmas on this podcast, and so we are rewatching it this week as part of the Jordan Peele-Henry Selick Shared Universe. It's a fascinating little film that stands the test of time and a fantastic debut for director Henry Selick.

This week, we watch, review and recap Jordan Peele's NOPE as part of our ongoing Jordan Peele/Henry Selick shared universe review series. NOPE is fine enough, if a bit rough around the edges.

This week, we recap, rank, and review Jordan Peele's Us. While it can be entertaining and frightening enough at times, it falls very short of the expectations set by Get Out, and we spend so much time trying to fill in holes and tie threads together that the film just simply fails to address. 0:00 - Intro and Chat (Scott finished Tears of the Kingdom) 11:00 - Us General Impressions 38:20 - Recap & Review 1:47:00 - Rankings --- Send in a voice message:
