VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

Movie adaptations of videogames have a fairly infamous reputation for being...well, let"s be honest, terrible. But surely an entire genre can"t be written off? Of the hundreds made so far, there must be a few good ones, right? Join hosts Jamie and Rory as they suffer through the seemingly endless sea of bad videogame movies in search of the few diamonds in the rough. There will be laughs, tears (mostly from Jamie) and nerdy details nobody could possibly care about! Let us suffer through these

Retro: Fatal Frame

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/02/18

Based on the popular horror franchise known as Fatal Frame (also known as Project Zero in some territories), this is one of the better movies we have reviewed on VGMP. A simple little horror movie, the simplicity is the key strength of Fatal Frame. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Retro: Power Stone

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/02/11

Capcom's Dreamcast arcade fighter has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years, but not many know that there was a full anime adaptation of the game! Jamie and Rory have sat down to watch a few episodes, but is there enough story in the arcade style game to stretch over a full series? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Retro: Free Guy

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/02/08

We continue to dig into the VGMP vaults and bring you re-edited and polished up versions of previous episodes. This week we're talking about the Ryan Reynolds vehicle Free Guy! Originally made by Fox but eventually obtained by Disney when they brought out 20th Century Fox, Free Guy has an intriguing premise; what if an NPC character in a videogame gained sentience? Does the film explore this concept to its full potential? Will Ryan Reynolds finally step out of his snark-filled Deadpool-esque comfort

Retro: Silent Hill - Revelation

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/02/04

Listeners will know that Jamie and Rory both enjoyed the 2006 Silent Hill movie quite a bit. Unfortunately this follow up isn't so fondly remembered. Featuring a confused plot and an ill-advised pre-ponderance with 3D, Silent Hill: Revelation might be one of the biggest sequel downgrades of all time. Hosted on Acast.

Retro: Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/01/28

We continue to plunder the VGMP vault and polish up our old episodes. Today we're bringing you Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever, a unique film in that the movie and videogame version were both in development at the same time, but the movie ended up being radically different from the eventual Gameboy Advance release...

Retro: Joysticks

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/01/25

An odd entry in the VGMP canon this week; from 1983, Joysticks asks the question "what if Porky's but in an arcade?" This 80s sex comedy features a group of Pac-Man addicts, some hapless nerds who just want to play their games in peace and, of course, parents gripped by a "think about the children" panic. The question however, is does any of it coalesce into a watchable movie? Listen to find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Retro: Black Heaven

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/01/21

We're proud to present, freshly edited and polished, one of the best episodes in the VGMP back catalogue. Black Heaven is a little known French movie that we went into with little expectations. We were surprised to find we actually really enjoyed the movie and now you can listen to us talk about it in this remastered episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Retro: Gamebox 1.0

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/01/07

January is well known as somewhat of a graveyard month when it comes to movie releases and in keeping with that tradition we're re-releasing our episode on Gamebox 1.0, one of the worst movies we have ever reviewed on the show. Nate Richert (Sabrina The Teenage Witch) stars as a videogame tester with a troubled past who is enlisted to test a brand new gaming console that can tap into the actual memories of the player.
