Our friend Hayato DeSouza comes by this week to help us talk about ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, the 1993 sequel that improves upon the original in almost every way!

Lilo & Stitch

2023/09/15

We're watching the first of many Disney movies for our show this week, and we'll be hard-pressed to find one quite as charming as 2002's LILO & STITCH! The story of a little Hawaiian girl and her killer alien best friend, the movie has a vibrant color palette and a distinctive style all it's own; it also has a Game Boy Advance game that pays tribute to SNK's METAL SLUG!

Get your paddles ready, because this week, we're taking on the forgotten ping-pong comedy BALLS OF FURY, from the creators of RENO 9-1-1.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (with JR Ralls)

CinemArcade ·

2023/09/01

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is a damn near perfect movie, a great blend of the familiar and the innovative with groundbreaking visual effects and great performances across the board. The NES game based on it is slightly less prestigious, but that didn't stop our guest from playing hundreds of hours of it as a child! We're joined by the great JR Ralls from Thirty Twenty Ten to break down both the movie and the game! Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Doug

Blues Brothers 2000

2023/08/25

How do you make a sequel to a 20 year old movie when half of the titular duo is dead? The infamous 1998 flop BLUES BROTHERS 2000 answers that by just adding three new guys and basically do the same movie again. We're talking about the deeply weird movie with the surprisingly stacked soundtrack, and then we're visiting the old Nintendo 64 to talk about the wildly weird game adaptation, a clunky BANJO-KAZOOIE clone that's oddly endearing.

The Blues Brothers

It's time for a new miniseries! This time, we're looking back at the iconic SNL musical from 1980, THE BLUES BROTHERS! John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd's charmingly chaotic comedy is also the basis for a pair of wildly misguided platformers for the NES and SNES, which features baffling level design and the Blues Brothers fighting evil robot trucks.

2023/08/11

Good morning, Angels! We're donning our best early-aughties fashions for the flashy, goofy action flick CHARLIE'S ANGELS, based on the hit 70's TV show. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu play the ass-kicking ladies in McG's popcorn flick, and surprisingly lend their likenesses to the 2003 GameCube game, which is, shall we say, somewhat less than polished. ANGELS fan Ailish Collins joins us for all the high-kicking, costume-donning action! Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister,

Say hello to our little... episode about SCARFACE! Brian DePalma's infamous 1983 gangster flick has an iconic performance from Al Pacino and dozens of quotable lines, but is the movie more than the sum of it's flashy parts? We'll find out, and then take on the 2007 video game adaptation, SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS. This GRAND THEFT AUTO clone boasts a lot of cool features, but does the game miss the point of the film?

Toys / Toys: Let the War Begin!

2023/07/21

This week's episode features the game adaptation of a movie who's central thesis is that video games are evil; try squaring that circle. This week we're watching TOYS, the 1992 Robin Williams flop that brought wild production design to an incomprehensible story to create one of the weirdest Hollywood misfires of all time. The movie's failure didn't deter game developers from adapting it, resulting in the bizarre isometric shooter TOYS: LET THE WAR BEGIN for SNES and Genesis. Hosted by Steve Guntli,
