This is the podcast about movies, videogames, and the sparks that fly when those worlds collide! Each week, Steve Guntli, Jennifer Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm will watch a movie and then play the video game based on that movie to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, similarities, and differences between the two mediums to see how they complement, or contradict, each other!

Vin Diesel is: xXx

CinemArcade ·

2024/06/21

Our unplanned Vin Diesel marathon continues as we visit our latest Justin's Choice: xXx! This 2002 spy thriller tried to disrupt Bond's spy supremacy with an X-treme sports superstar, and it's every bit as goofy and dated as it sounds. We're talking about the film, then looking at the GBA-exclusive game, which is weirdly a soft remake of... LILO & STITCH?

The Italian Job (2003)

CinemArcade ·

2024/06/07

We're hopping back into our Mini Coopers for another turn at THE ITALIAN JOB! This time, we're looking at the vastly different 2003 heist movie, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton and a standout supporting cast! This remake has a very different energy than the cheeky original, but is it still fun? We'll find out before diving into the 2003 Xbox game featuring plenty of Mini racing action!Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas

The Italian Job (1969)

CinemArcade ·

2024/05/31

We're blowing the bloody doors off of British classic THE ITALIAN JOB! The cult favorite starring Michael Caine and Noel Coward became one of the definitive films of London in the swinging 60s, and featured some of the most elaborate and impressive car stunts yet put on film. We talk about the film as well as the 2002 game adaptation, a faithful recreation of the film from Rockstar Games!Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas McCambridge Email:

2024/04/05

Our ROCKY miniseries comes to an end as the Rocky passes the gloves down to the next generation in 2015's CREED! Directed by Ryan Coogler, the film was a surprise critical and commercial smash that reignited interest in the ROCKY franchise. We're discussing the film this week with our friend Sid Desai, before playing our first VR game, CREED: RISE TO GLORY, an experience that may or may not have resulted in the punching of a shelf.

Rocky Balboa

2024/03/29

An aging Rocky steps back into the ring 30 years after the first film for 2006's ROCKY BALBOA! Is this throwback a welcome return to the Italian Stallion's roots or does it adhere too closely to the classic formula? We give it a deep dive, as well as it's PSP exclusive game adaptation!Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas McCambridge Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast YouTube: @CinemArcade Next week's

Rocky

CinemArcade ·

2024/03/22

The uplifting 70's classic ROCKY is a quintessential underdog story both on screen and in real life. It helped turn writer-star Sylvester Stallone into one of the most successful actors of his generation, and shaped the future of sports movies to come. We're kicking off a three-part exploration of the ROCKY franchise, starting with the 1976 original and it's video game adaptations for Sega Master System and Xbox!

Seven Samurai / Seven Samurai 20XX

CinemArcade ·

2024/03/01

Akira Kurosawa's 1954 masterpiece SEVEN SAMURAI is maybe the defining film of Japanese cinema, a sprawling adventure epic that has influenced almost every action movie since. It's a momentous achievement, but how do you meet up to that standard with a video game? SEVEN SAMURAI 20XX attempts to tackle the original by not tackling it, moving the action to the distant future and using the film as a very loose template.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

CinemArcade ·

2024/02/23

Perhaps the only video game based on a biopic, but if any biopic lends itself to gamification, it's DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY. This 1993 confection is a highly fanciful, action-heavy portrayal of the martial arts legend that goes real heavy on the cheese. The belated video game adaptation translates the film's plot into an oddball fighting game.Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas McCambridge Email:

Reservoir Dogs (with Chuy Zarate)

2024/02/16

Prepare to flash back to the 90s with the seminal indie film RESERVOIR DOGS, the tight, tense thriller that launched the career of Quentin Tarantino. Austin improv great Chuy Zarate joins us this week for one of our wildest and funniest episodes to date, as we cover both the 1992 film and the surprisingly forgotten 2006 Xbox adaptation!

Nothing but the bare necessities this week, as we discuss the 1967 Disney classic THE JUNGLE BOOK! Our friend and resident animation scholar Hannah Neuhauser joins us as we dig in on old Uncle Walt's last movie ever, a rollicking, jazzy adventure with a banger of a score. Then, we're taking on the game adaptations for SNES and Genesis, a couple of fun and polished platformers!

Cutthroat Island

CinemArcade ·

2024/02/02

It's one thing for a movie to fail; it's another for a movie to fail and take multiple careers, a studio, and even an entire genre down with it. But that's the legacy of CUTTHROAT ISLAND, a raucous 1995 pirate adventure that for a while was the biggest box office bomb of all time. We dig into the crazy and cursed production of the film before talking about the SNES/Genesis adaptation, which adds cutlasses to the traditional belt-scroller formula.

We unleash our sick podcasting skills on the sleeper sensation NAPOLEON DYNAMITE from 2004! Woody Ciskowski of the Ultra 64 / Wii Universe podcast joins us to talk about the impact and legacy of Jared Hess' indie hit before moving on to the 2007 PSP game adaptation that may or may not be the most accurate representation of a movie we've yet talked about.

The Recruit / Ice Nine

CinemArcade ·

2024/01/19

Though it was a hit at the time of release, the 2003 espionage thriller THE RECRUIT has essentially been lost to time, a footnote in the careers of Colin Farrell and Al Pacino. But improbably, the movie spawned an adaptation of sorts. Called ICE NINE when released, it's a Game Boy Advance first-person shooter, which is just... weird. We dig into it with one of our slap-happiest episodes yet. Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas McCambridge Email:

Disney's loveable trash robot WALL-E takes center stage this week! Our first PIXAR film, this heartfelt sci-fi opus blends the best elements of the company's feature length and short film output, with endlessly charming results. After the movie, we're gonna talk about the PS2 game adaptation, which has a lofty reputation of Disney games to adhere to; how does it hold up?

The Punisher

CinemArcade ·

2024/01/05

Prepare for punishment, because this week we're talking about Marvel's original anti-hero, THE PUNISHER! The iconic comics character has had a few at-bats with big screen adaptations, but the 2004 version starring Tom Jane and John Travolta is the closest the series has come to cinematic legitimacy. But does this mid-aughts actioner stand the test of time? We'll find out, as well as playing the highly controversial Xbox adaptation from 2005, which might be the best representation of the character..

Home Alone

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals! No holiday celebration is complete without HOME ALONE, the mega-hit 90s comedy that made an unusual superstar out of 10-year-old Macauly Culkin! We're watching the film, and then playing the oddball game adaptations, which had the potential to be really interesting...

ELF, Jon Favreau's holiday blockbuster that launched Will Ferrell's film career, has gone from a cute alternative to stodgy Christmas fare to an inescapable juggernaut.

CinemArcade ·

2023/12/08

Yippee-kay-ay, everyone! We're climbing into the ducts to cover the timeless, indisputable Christmas classic and ur-text for modern action films, 1988's DIE HARD! John McTiernan's classic revitalized the entire action genre and made an instant superstar out of Bruce Willis, and it's earned it's place in many people's yearly tradition. We're also digging into the unusual video game franchise that spawned from this series, including the surprisingly faithful NES version and the dated-but-fun arcade
