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!

Puppet Master and video games in the same room? What is this, a crossover episode?! This week, Jarrod Hornbeck, Steve's co-host on Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks, joins the gang to talk about PUPPET MASTER, the direct-to-video icon that launched the expansive Full Moon universe of horror! We're talking over the original film, and then playing the new indie horror game, which lets puppets take on humans for control of Toulon's secrets to eternal life.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

This week, we're kicking off an entire month of horror with THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE! Tobe Hooper's visceral 1975 classic has been turned into a hit asymmetrical multiplayer game, and we're here to test out both that game and the oddball 1983 Atari version that you may not know about!

Addams Family Values (with Hayato DeSouza)

CinemArcade ·

2023/09/29

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! We discuss Joan Cusack's iconic performance, the film's place in the gay canon, and of course the SNES game adaptation, which places Uncle Fester into a LEGEND OF ZELDA-like adventure. It's our spookiest, kookiest, altogether ookiest miniseries yet! We're kicking off a two-part exploration of the live-action ADDAMS FAMILY movies, starting this

The Addams Family

It's our spookiest, kookiest, altogether ookiest miniseries yet! We're kicking off a two-part exploration of the live-action ADDAMS FAMILY movies, starting this week with the 1991 original! Barry Sonnenfeld updated Charles Addams' classic comic strip for the 90s with this fast, funny, and creative blockbuster starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christopher Lloyd. We're also looking at two games based on the film: the NES adaptation and it's higher-res SNES sibling! Hosted by Steve Guntli,

Lilo & Stitch

CinemArcade ·

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! We're talking both this week. Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Doug

Balls of Fury

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. The movie didn't make much impact in 2007, but does the Wii video game adaptation give it a boost?

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

CinemArcade ·

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

2023/08/18

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.

Charlie’s Angels (with Ailish Collins)

CinemArcade ·

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?

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!

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.

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!
