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!

The Dark Crystal

CinemArcade ·

2025/11/07

For this month's JBan's Choice, we're heading to the far distant fantasy land of Jim Henson's THE DARK CRYSTAL! This 1982 high fantasy flick features some jaw dropping visuals and an incredible well of creativity... but is it any good? We get into it, as well as discussing one of our earliest games, the 1983 text-adventure HI-RES ADVENTURES #6: THE DARK CRYSTAL.

Halloween (with Jarrod Hornbeck)

2025/10/31

This one is monumental, y'all. An independent film that not only changed how movies are consumed but helped invent an entrie genre, John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN remains one of the most important horror films of all time. Which is why we had to give it its due with one of our longest episodes ever! We're joined once again by Puppet Masters/Castle Freaks co-host Jarrod Hornbeck to talk about his all-time favorite movie. Then we're checking out two oddities: the HALLOWEEN video game adaptation for the

World War Z

The virus is spreading and the zekes are taking over! This week, we're talking about perhaps the most expensive horror movie ever made, the globe-trotting zombie thriller WORLD WAR Z! Brad Pitt leads this loose adaptation of the smash hit book, which makes it to the screen despite one of the most contentious and costly film productions in recent memory. We get into it, before signing up for a tour with the hit online multiplayer shooter game adaptation! Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan"

Unpleasant dreams, everyone! It's time to give a legend her due: we're talking about ELVIRA: MISTRESS OF THE DARK, the 1988 film debut of everyone's favorite buxom horror hostess, Elvira! The lovely Juliet Robb joins us for this wacky horror comedy, which inspired an early DOS game that's a surprisingly hardcore early horror game.

Astro Boy

2025/09/26

We're blasting off this week with the plucky little robot boy that nobody loved... ASTRO BOY! Based on one of the forebearers of anime, ASTRO BOY got a 2009 animated movie that barely made a ripple at the box office, despsite an absolutely stacked cast. We dig into this forgotten little charmer before talking about two games: the PS2 adaptation of the movie, and the classic 2003 game ASTRO BOY: OMEGA FACTOR, one of the secret best games on the Game Boy Advance.

Miami Vice (with Brennan Patrick)

CinemArcade ·

2025/09/19

Mix up some mojitos and cuff those blazers, because this week we're looking at Michael Mann's 2006 adaptation of his hit TV show, MIAMI VICE! Starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx as two cool as hell vice cops, the movie is almost defiantly not what you might expect from a Miami Vice movie, which has left it as kind of a love-it-or-hate-it experience. We brought along someone who happens to love it: actor Brennan Patrick! Brennan joins us for a deep dive into the movie before we dust off the game, a

Gargoyles: The Movie

CinemArcade ·

2025/09/12

We're bending the rules just a little bit this week, because it's JBan's birthday week and our girl wants to talk about some GARGOYLES! This cult favorite 90's TV show (who's five-part pilot was reedited into a movie) was way ahead of its time and still feels like an anomaly for Disney animation. We're talking about the film's surprisingly lengthy legacy before checking out GARGOYLES REMASTERED, a 2023 re-release of the original Sega Genesis game!Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister,

Turtles superfan Grace Dickens joins us to talk about this most recent flick, which hearkens back to all eras of the TURTLES legacy for a damn-near perfect confection designed to please the fans.

Monsters, Inc.

CinemArcade ·

2025/08/15

This week, we're stepping into the hidden world inside our closets for Disney/Pixar's 2001 classic MONSTERS, INC.! This madcap comedy is one of the animation powerhouse's lighter and funnier works, but it's every bit as worthy as some of the studio's more prestigious tearjerkers. Starring Billy Crystal and secret CinemArcade MVP John Goodman, the movie is a delightful romp that spawned surprisingly few video games, despite having a premise that lends itself perfectly. We're checking out a few of

Paul Newman shines in the heartbreaking and beautiful drama THE HUSTLER, a stunning examination of addiction, obsession and self-hatred, and one of the least likely movies to ever be covered on our show! The road to arriving as a video game 30 years later is a long and fascinating story, but luckily we have film buff and THIRTY TWENTY TEN host Diana Goodman on board to help us navigate it!

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

2025/08/01

At long last, the epic saga comes to a conclusion. And then another one. And then another one. And then another one. Jokes aside, RETURN OF THE KING is an incredibly accomplished, satisfying conclusion that was absolutely worthy of it's insane Oscar streak. We're talking all about this final entry in the beloved saga before switching the game adaptation from EA, which truly realizes the potential of THE TWO TOWERS.

Wild Wild West

Last week, we covered INDEPENDANCE DAY, the film that made Will Smith's film career. This week, we're talking about the film that nearly ended it. WILD WILD WEST, the 1999 disaster from director Barry Sonnenfeld, tried to adapt the 1960's TV spot of it's namesake into a hugely expenseive spectacle, but the entire project landed with a thud. We're looking into exactly what went wrong before unearthing the long-forgotten game adaptation, WILD WILD WEST: STEEL ASSASSIN. Hosted by Steve Guntli,

Independence Day

CinemArcade ·

2025/07/04

Welcome to earth! To commemorate the holiday, we're talking about INDEPENDENCE DAY, the film that reinvented the action blockbuster for the 90s, tilting the trend towards bombast, spectacle, and a whole lot of explosions. The 1996 Roland Emmerich classic helped launch the leading man career of Will Smith and featured cutting-edge special effects that showed that no monument is safe. We're digging into the flick before booting up the PS1 aerial combat game! Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan"

The Warriors (with Chris Antista)

This week is all about 1979's cult gem THE WARRIORS; can you dig it? We're talking all about Walter Hill's stylish, violent, controversial hit, as well as it's long and ever-evolving afterlife. We're joined by Chris Antista of "Thirty Twenty Ten" and "Vidjagame Apocalypse," who chimes in on his favorite movie as well as it's 2005 game adaptation from Rockstar Games!Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm Logo by Douglas McCambridge Email:

Predator 2

The ultimate alien hunter sets his sights on the urban jungle this week as we look at the bleak, bombastic 1990 sequel PREDATOR 2! Danny Glover takes over from Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie that has some really specific ideas about inner-city crime, but still boasts a handful of cool set pieces and some interesting new bits of lore. We're chatting about the film before checking out the Sega Genesis game adaptation, one of the very first console video games with an African-American

The Phantom

2025/04/25

Slam evil! This week, we're unmasking THE PHANTOM, an infamous 1996 bomb that has maintained a surprising cult following! This old-timey superhero flick starring Billy Zane, Treat Williams, and a young Catherine Zeta-Jones is as straight-faced a throwback as you can expect... and we kinda love it. We're also taking a look at our most recent game to date, 2025's THE PHANTOM video game, which adapts the good-hearted cheesiness of the classic comics about as closely as the film does.Hosted by Steve

The Last Airbender

In 2010, M. Night Shyamalan, one of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster filmmakers, signed on to adapt Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender," one of the most popular and acclaimed animate shows of recent years. What could go wrong? Turns out a lot. This week we're holding our noses and covering THE LAST AIRBENDER, a bafflingly ill-conceived adaptation that manages to miss the point so hard it's actually offensive. We're digging into just what happened with the misbegotten franchise non-starter, and

Wanted / Wanted: Weapons of Fate

CinemArcade ·

2025/03/14

Nothing screams "2008" more than an action movie about a disaffected white guy who discovers the enervating power of ultra-violence! Timur Bekmambatov's WANTED, adapted from a graphic novel, offers plenty of high-octane, silly thrills, and if it doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, at least it keeps things lively. We're talking about the film as well as it's game adaptation, a sequel/prequel that offers some clever twists on the classic cover shooter formula. Hosted by Steve Guntli,

Five Spice Girls, five podcasters; it really only makes sense. This week we're joined by two of our returning favorites, Ailish Collins and Ashley Park, for SPICE WORLD, the semi-notorious starring vehicle for everyone's favorite UK sensation, the Spice Girls. We're talking all about the infamous movie, which was lambasted by critics at the time but has developed a loyal cult following; then, we're talking about the 1998 PS1 game adaptation, which might be the least game we've ever played for this
