Video Game Movies

Video Games

This week on the show, it’s all about video game movies! Yes, we’re talking about major film releases that have been based on video games as a source material. And yes, we are completely aware that most of them are just awful. But why is that? What makes a video game movie so bad? Have their been any good ones or are they all just “so bad that they’re good”?

Join Luke, Cam, Rachel and Tom as they discuss their favourite video game movies, the ones they deem as “the worst” video game movies, what makes them work effectively and also the rumours around upcoming video game movies we can expect to see in the coming years (and whether or not they are going to suck!)

Also this week, Luke gives us his review of giant orc slaying action game Extinction! Don’t miss any of the action and don’t forget to check out the first half of this podcast to keep up to date!
