VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

Movie adaptations of videogames have a fairly infamous reputation for being...well, let"s be honest, terrible. But surely an entire genre can"t be written off? Of the hundreds made so far, there must be a few good ones, right? 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

Based upon one of the biggest MMORPG's of all time and helmed by a lauded indie darling, Duncan Jones (Moon) attempts to bring World Of Warcraft to the big screen.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/11/01

This is it. The one we've been building to since the very first episode of VGMP (seriously, I'm fairly certain Jamie went on a rant about this movie in that very first episode). The one Jamie has been dreading. The final instalment in Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil series. Jamie considers The Final Chapter to be one of the worst movies he has ever seen, will the passage of time have softened his opinion or will he hate it just as much? And what will Rory make of this franchise ender? Listen to

Werewolves Within

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/10/25

Based on the VR game this horror comedy was a little-seen indie movie that probably deserved more eyes on it. When a new park ranger arrives in a town filled with oddball residents, he enters a tense situation spurred on by a wealthy oil magnate. Things go from bad to worse however when a werewolf arrives on the scene! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dead Rising: Endgame

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/10/18

A while back, now defunct network Crackle made a Dead Rising movie called "Watchtower." Turns out they also made a sequel and we're watching it today on VGMP! "Dead Rising: Endgame" sees Jesse Metcalfe return along with Dennis Haysbert and a bunch of new characters including an appearance from Billy Zane making another videogame movie appearance! The first movie was a bit disappointing for the guys so how will this second instalment fare? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

Hitman

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/09/20

This week on VGMP we dip into the Hitman franchise for the first time with this 2007 movie. As a self confessed "olyphan" will Jamie finally approve of a video game movie? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

Double Dragon

VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast ·

2025/08/02

This week Rory and Jamie are reviewing this infamously bad movie from the early 90s based on the classic beat 'em up franchise. Set in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, the movie follows two brothers in a race against time to find the two halves of the Double Dragon amulet before an evil businessman beats them to it.

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.

2025/07/05

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. With a last minute villain appearance, the final episodes of PSO2 feel like a rush to tie threads together, but will it have a satisfying result? Hosted on Acast.

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 ·

2025/05/10

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.
