Join hosts Jamie and Rory as they suffer through the seemingly endless sea of bad videogame movies in search of the few diamonds in the rough. There will be laughs, tears (mostly from Jamie) and nerdy details nobody could possibly care about! Let us suffer through these

Resident Evil: Retribution

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/09/06

We are now five movies deep in the "Anderson-verse" of Resident Evil movies and Jamie is almost at breaking point as his favourite franchise continues to be butchered on screen. These movies continue to ignore their own continuity and in this instalment the movie takes on a videogame feel in the worst way, being split across several "levels" in Umbrella's testing facility.

A Minecraft Movie

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/08/23

Based on the blockbuster game, A Minecraft Movie was surprisingly a blockbuster hit at the cinemas, relying on the current mantra that all videogame movie should cast Jack Black and embracing the popular memes of the game to create a wave of box office success. Neither Jamie or Rory are Minecraft fans going into this viewing, so is the movie welcoming to new viewers or do you have to already be a fan of the game to appreciate its charms? Hosted on Acast.

Resident Evil: Death Island

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/07/12

Capcom finally give fans of Resident Evil what they've been waiting years for; bringing the "big four" Resident Evil protagonists together for the first time...in a throw-away CGI movie with a one-and-done villain. Huh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After 4 long weeks the boys finally wrap up their journey through Phantasy Star Online 2, Jamie is over the moon whilst Rory is more appreciative of the anime's attempts.

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/06/25

Another classic episode from the VGMP vault, "The Last Starfighter" is directed by Nick Castle (yes, the guy who played Michael Myers in the original Halloween) and whilst ostensibly a children's movie contains some moments of true horror including melting bodies and disturbing copies.

Retro: Wreck-It Ralph

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/06/17

Wreck-It Ralph has often been described as Toy Story for the videogame age and that certainly seems to be an apt description when viewing this 2012 Disney movie. Featuring John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch, this takes us into the world of an arcade game villain feeling like he needs something more from his life. Whilst his fellow villains urge him to stay in his lane, Ralph finds himself breaking free of the confines of his game and role and thrust into new and unfamiliar territory.

Retro: Tekken: Blood Vengeance

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/06/07

From the VGMP vault comes this classic episode from a few years ago, the first Tekken property that we reviewed on the show! This CGI animated movie is absolutely crazy, at least to someone not familiar with the popular Playstation 1v1 fighter, though if it would be any different for fans of the series, we're not so sure...

DOOM: Annihilation

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/05/17

Did you know they made a second DOOM movie? Jamie sure didn't until Rory sprung that one on him! You could be forgiven for not knowing about this ultra low-budget adaptation that seemingly got screwed by the studio. Yet it is also true that sometimes it is those films that face the most adversity come out with that extra special X factor that turns them into very enjoyable movies. Will that be the case for this intrepid little DOOM movie? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

Retro: Shenmue

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

Retro: Need For Speed

One of the most divisive movies the VGMP team have ever covered, Need For Speed starts Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Imogen Poots (28 Weeks Later) and Michael Keaton (Batman). One of Rory's favourite movies, the boys are giving this one a second chance to see if Rory can convince Jamie of the movie's merits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2025/03/15

Retro: Pokemon: The First Movie

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/03/08

The boys turn back the clock to review the first Pokemon Movie. This film was a hype machine back in the day, with Avengers Endgame levels of excitement in the run up to its release. Introducing fans to Pokemon #151 Mew and pitting him against the ominous Mewtwo, the movie promised to be a bout that would rock fans of the popular anime. Did the film live up to expectations and how does it stack up all of these years later? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Retro: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/02/25

The first major motion picture outing of the Final Fantasy franchise is one of the most infamous flops in history, effectively killing Square and forcing them to merge to survive. With its sci-fi setting and alien ghosts, the film doesn't feel too much like the games on which it is based. Despite that, how does the film stand up? Hosted on Acast.

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/02/22

Infamous Japanese director Takashi Miike takes a crack at adapting the popular Capcom franchise "Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright" to the big screen. Blending live action filmmaking with the bombastic characters usually found in Japanese anime, the result is certainly interesting to say the least. But does it make for a good movie? Listen to find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
