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!

Charlie’s Angels (with Ailish Collins)

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,

Scarface

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?

Jaws!

Just when you though it was safe to listen to a podcast... This week, it's all about JAWS, Steven Spielberg's masterful adventure film that popularize the entire concept of the summer movie! We're talking through the famously troubled production that turned into the biggest movie of all time, and made Spielberg a household name. Then, we're diving in to play the JAWS game for the NES! Developed by infamous publisher LJN, the game tasks you with evading the killer shark while raising some questions

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,

Grease

2023/07/14

We've got chills and they're multiplying this week, because this week is all about GREASE, the smash-hit musical that became the game no one knew existed! The 1978 film was one of the most successful movies of it's era and made superstars out of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta. The tie-in game for the Wii, released in 2010, is a bizarre collection of cheapie minigames and karaoke that might also be kinda fun...

Gremlins 2: The New Batch

CinemArcade ·

2023/07/07

We conclude our GREMLINS miniseries this week by taking in the madcap masterpiece that is GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH. This 1990 sequel upended all expectations to became a weird, subversive, experimental comedy that blends monster movies and Looney Tunes in equal measure. We're also playing the 1990 game adaptation for the NES, which itself may be deserving of a cult audience.

Gremlins

2023/06/30

Welcome to our first miniseries! Once in a while, we'll break from our usual format to focus on multiple entries in a series, so this week and next week, we'll be discussing the GREMLINS franchise! It all starts here, with the 1984 smash hit original, directed by Joe Dante! The film is a wildly fun blend of horror, adventure, and comedy that has become a perennial Christmas favorite. The hugely popular film inspired some early Atari adaptations, so we'll be dusting off the old joysticks to play the

Ratchet & Clank

2023/06/23

This week, our show eats itself like a snake eating it's tail: we're talking about the game, based on the movie, based on the game RATCHET & CLANK! The furry fighter and his robot pal debuted with a classic game on the PS2 and have built a high-quality series of hit action platformers. The 2016 film adaptation tried to capture some of the game's cartoonish wit and space opera thrills, but it's the 2016 RATCHET & CLANK game (both a remake of the original and an adaptation of the film, which is an

Vertigo

2023/06/16

This week we're covering one of our oldest movies and one of our newest games. Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 masterwork VERTIGO has been called by some the greatest thriller ever made, which sets a pretty high bar for it's 2019 video game adaptation. The game squares this circle by... well, really not even trying to tell the original story.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula

CinemArcade ·

2023/06/09

This week we're talking all about the surprising phenomenon that was BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA from 1992! Francis Ford Coppola's rendition of the classic DRACULA tale is one of the weirdest, most operatic horror films of the 90s. It's a film aimed at grown-ups that, despite it's flashy style, doesn't really translate to a video game format. But that didn't stop them from trying; the BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA game fundamentally misunderstands the source material by making it an action-adventure game starring

Gotcha! / Gotcha! The Sport

2023/06/02

One of the most obscure movie/game pairings we'll be covering, GOTCHA! is a 1985 comedy-thriller from the director of REVENGE OF THE NERDS that actually helped usher in the paintball craze. GOTCHA! THE SPORT is an oddball lightgun shooter for the NES based on the toy line based on the movie! The whole thing makes for a weird and fascinating story, so load up your paint pellets and get ready to go on a journey!

Wayne’s World

2023/05/26

Party time! Excellent! This week we're talking about a bona fide comedy classic, 1992's WAYNE'S WORLD! Far and away the best SNL movie, Penelope Spheeris' subversive gem defined comedy in the 90s and made stars out of Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey. Then, we're going to be playing the largely-forgotten SNES game adaptation, featuring a big-headed Wayne as he tries to rescue Garth from a large gelatinous blob that has kidnapped Garth (which I assumed was a deleted scene in the movie).

The Mummy (2017) / The Mummy Demastered

2023/05/19

Behold, the beginning of the Dark Universe! This week, we're watching the misbegotten 2017 Tom Cruise franchise non-starter THE MUMMY, digging into the failed plans for a massive cinematic universe and trying to figure out just what went wrong. Then, we're playing the surprisingly great game adaptation, THE MUMMY DEMASTERED, a Metroidvania-style adventure with some great pixel art and a few ideas that just might be too clever for its own good.

Welcome to CinemArcade, the podcast about movies, video games, and the sparks that fly when those worlds collide! Each week on this show, we're going to watch a movie and then play it's corresponding video game to see how the two media contradict or complement each other. For this, our very first episode, we thought we'd start with the grandaddy, a movie that redefined blockbusters for a generation with a game that literally almost killed the video game industry. We're talking E.T.: THE
