To watch, head to our website below!While the first two live action Resident Evils were campy fun, this one kind of misses the mark. More laser grids! Although it's nice to see Iainn Glen back on VGMH!Welcome …

In a stunning twist, this might be the best video game movie ever? Takashi Miike brings a distinct style and tone to this film that doesn't quite fit the Yakuza games it's adapting, but makes for a fantastic standalone crime thriller! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching every video game movie ever made in chronol…

Did you know there's a theatrical Animal Crossing movie? Neither did we. Should it have been a 20 minute kids TV show instead? Probably. At least there's a healthy dose of capitalism courtesy of Tom Nook!Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

If you want to watch a guy who barely knows Final Fantasy VII lore try to explain it to two people who have never played any of the games in real time as they watch the most confusing movie of all time, oh I have a video for you. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching every video game movie ever made in chronologica…

Ok, we missed one. Sue us. In a blast from the past comin' at you straight from 2001, here's Final Fantasy: Spirits Within! A movie with no plot relation, similar iconography, or even references to Final Fantasy. Nice! (Not nice, it's bad) Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

Guys, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this one. It's so bad. These nightmare faces on the human characters are so much scarier than any of the monsters. Journey with us into the uncanny valley, and bring your blue tube top! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching every video game movie ever made in chronological order (reall…

We're back with DOA: Dead or Alive (2006), a movie about a diverse cast of very hot mostly naked women doing bad karate to stop a bomb from blowing up an island and also someone literally shouts "These readings are off the charts!" Nirav insists that all the titties flying around are not why this is his favorite movie so far, but we'll leave it up …

Now that House of the Dragon S2 is over, we're back with more video game movie goodness! Or badness. Today, the infamous Silent Hill, starring a shoehorned in Sean Bean because the studio thought there were too many women in the movie (really). While we were impressed by the cinematography, art, and monster design, the third act completely falls ap…

Due to some scheduling conflicts last week, we have a mega episode covering the last two eps of House of the Dragon S2 and our HOT TAKES as well as Nirav's Brain Surgery Chat and an update on Jess's Minecraft server. The tweet that killed Nirav: https://fxtwitter.com/zuza_real/status/1820432903194513612 Note: This is an audio only episode. Listen t…

We love a little cross-feed pilot episode. This is the first episode of Nirav's new podcast, A Court of Bros and Broses. Join three straight men as they begin their long, saucy journey through Sarah J Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses for the first time, providing commentary, analysis, discussion, and predictions of what's to come. To continue lis…

We're not gonna sugarcoat this one, folks. Jess and Felicia found some corny (and horny?) fun in this one, but Nirav spiritually died while watching this film. Stick around, in a few weeks he will be reborn when we watch DOA! I guess you could say these vampires... suck. Heh. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching e…

And in turn, so returns Dragon Busters, our companion podcast for the show. Listen to Nirav, Jess, and Felicia provide a recap, analysis, review, and predi…

Finally we've reached the infamous DOOM movie starring Karl Urban and The Rock, and boy howdy is it a doozie. While some of the action was good and Karl Urban tries to put in a good performance, the movie mostly falls flat due to writing and pacing issues. But the first-person shooter sequence is actually cinematic gold. Rip and tear until it is wa…

More like Alone in the Dork, amirite fam? Uwe Boll is back, and this time he's teamed up with American Treasure Tara Reid to bring us something so underwhelming I can't even be bothered to describe it to you. Not even loosely based on the game Alone in the Dark, join us as Christian Slater and friends basically spend their entire careers disturbing…

After a short break, we are back to VGMH! And who better to welcome us back than Milla Jovovich and her apparently very horny husband Paul W.S. Anderson with the second (of 6!) Resident Evil movies! We had fun with this one too, but it doesn't quite match the campiness of the original and takes itself a tad too seriously. Still, a good ole scarifyi…

Jess and Nirav are taking a break from video game movies to talk about... a video game TV Show. Luckily, it may just be the best one yet! Nirav is one of the biggest Fallout fans out there, so he's got a lot of anecdotes in this one. This is our spoilercast review and discussion, full of deep lore that you don't know, understand, or care about from…

This week we're joined by Ryan Blankenbaker, confirmed gamer, to dive into the first of many Uwe Boll films on our list with House of the Dead! This was a certified good bad movie that we had a blast watching. The fact that it nearly caused Nirav to have an actual seizure is balanced out by the topless SEGA-branded party on a remote island off the …

We finally begin our journey into Paul W.S. Anderson and Mila Jovovich's thinly veiled sex fantasies put to the big screen! The gang dives in 2002's Resident Evil, and if you can't figure out how long it takes to turn into a zombie, don't worry, we can't either. We had a pretty good time with this one, and man that hallway laser scene is *chef's ki…

Starring Angelina Jolie's taut thighs, a fighting robot that should probably be the one doing the tomb raiding, and an IT guy who lives in the backyard and is NOT allowed in the house, it's 2001's Tomb Raider! We enjoyed this one decently, with fun set pieces and dumb plot devices, and Jolie isn't half bad as Lara Croft. Join us! Welcome to Video G…

Well, then, I AM ENTEI! RAARRRRR! We were pleasantly surprised with Pokemon the Third Movie: Spell of the Unown, especially when compared to other 2001 animated films and previous video game adaptations. Excellent animation, colors, art direction, and an incredible soundtrack highlight this good enough story about a little girl losing her father. C…

You ever been brave enough to make a movie that has the year it was released as part of the title? We again had a good time with Pokemon's second theatrical release, and while the story was a bit cheesy, good humor, good animation, and great music really carry the film. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching every v…

Nirav is maybe the world's biggest Pokemon fan and was worried this one wouldn't hold up to his memories of opening night at the theater, but luckily Pokemon The First Movie proved to be a good time with a few poignant themes and some solid animation. Also we watched it with the wrong subtitles so that was a ride. Two movies for the price of one! W…

As much as we enjoyed seeing Freddie Prince Jr. and Matthew Lillard in this spiritual prequel to the live action Scooby Doo movie, it wasn't super interesting. But we did get very hype about the cat people! Until we saw them. I think this one passed the Bechdel test tho, so, we're moving up! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felici…

FATALITY! As much as we loved the first Mortal Kombat film, this one lacks the heart and enthusiasm of its predecessor and makes several casting changes for the worse. Ultimately, MK Annihilation is more of a time capsule of terrible 90s action movies than a reflection of Mortal Kombat. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are…

The Game Busters are back for our annual betting special! This year, Nirav, Sunny, David, and Adam square off while Momo is nowhere to be seen and fight TO THE DEATH for the fate of The Game Awards!

Moooooortal Kombaaaaaat! Jump in the ring with Nirav, Felicia, and Jess as they experience the fondly remembered Mortal Kombat movie from 1995. While it may not be the best movie, it was a huge improvement over the Street Fighter Movie and had a lot more personality. Fight! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching eve…

Nirav, Jess, and Felicia continue their foolish foray into the world of video game movie adaptations! This week, Street Fighter!

So, maybe it was in the moment, but we got a little carried away. Nirav, Jess, and Kate cordially invite you to a special episode of Good Games Inc, where we take your submissions for game ideas and turn them real! In the cold light of day, it sort of brings into stark relief that maybe we went too far on this one. Did we make a game where Luigi go…

I hope you like transportation planning, because man we get into it. This week's animal is a bear. Just a regular bear, no cocaine. None. Don't ask about it.

Okay, it's time to face the truth. This has mostly ended up being a podcast about cool animal facts. And you know what? We're leaning into it. No zombies in this one. This is basically Zoobooks the podcast. Whatever man. Get off my ass. Go make your own podcast okay? What's with the third degree? The Last of Bust is a companion podcast for HBO's Th…
