VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

SuperBoll Sunday

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:30:00 GMT

It's time for SuperBoll Sunday! We've gone through the first round and thinned the herd. Listen for the final time as Jamie and Rory argue to decide the best (?) Uwe Boll videogame movie. As a bonus they also discuss two documentaries made about the man himself that shed some light on what it's like to work on a Boll set.

Titles covered: In the Name of the King 2, In the Name of the King 3, Raging Boll and F**k You All: The Uwe Boll Story.

A winner must be crowned in this, the final episode of VGMP!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with our little show for all of these years. There's been laughs, there's been fights and at least three occasions where Jamie has almost walked away from the show, but it has been a genuine pleasure to bring this show to you each week. Thank you so much!

SuperBoll Saturday

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:20:00 GMT

Six seasons and four years. VGMP must decide how we should go out, and there is only one real option. Uwe Boll is the name most associated with videogame movies, having garnered a reputation for putting out truly terrible titles during the 2000s and early 2010s. To close out the show we did a two part tournament to decide which is the best of this bad bunch!

We cover House of the Dead: Funny Version, Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne 2, Bloodrayne 3 and Far Cry.

Mortal Kombat X: Generations (2015)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:10:00 GMT

Leaked footage from the unreleased project "Mortal Kombat X: Generations" this project was set to star Casper Van Dien as Johnny Cage and also features an appearance from Eric Roberts (that guy is in everything!) More of a curiosity than anything else, the boys take a look at the footage and speculate on what the project could have been.

Return to Silent Hill (2026)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:50:00 GMT

A film Jamie has been anticipating ever since it was announced a few years ago; original director Christoph Gans returns to Silent Hill to adapt the very much loved second game in the franchise. The film missed it's original release date following a poorly received trailer online and went silent for a while (ha ha) before quietly being released January 2026. Uh oh. Sounds like a bad sign right? Well if that wasn't enough, the movie opened to a whopping 7% on Rotten Tomatoes and an almost instant deluge of hate online. Yet, the boys decided to go for it anyway and see if Return To Silent Hill really was as bad as people say. So, turn up the volume and join us as we venture once more into that foggy hellmouth; Silent Hill.

Tomb Raider (2018)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:40:00 GMT

Based on the "survivor trilogy" reboot of the Tomb Raider games, this 2018 movie swaps Angelina Jolie for Alicia Vikander and casts Walton Goggins in the villain role. This adventure sees Lara searching for her missing father who has disappeared on an expedition to uncover the tomb of Himiko, an ancient witch who was rumoured to have power over death itself. Despite a sequel set up the 2018 movie never saw a follow up and has mostly faded from public consciousness. Jamie and Rory invite returning guest Harry McIlroy to join them in trying to work out why that might be.

Assassin's Creed (2016)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:30:00 GMT

It's one of the most popular videogame franchises of the last twenty years and it's movie adaptation was heralded as potentially being the first movie to break the videogame movie curse. With heavy hitters like Michael Fassbender, Marion Cottilard and Jeremy Irons onboard it certainly seemed like this might be the case...and yet...Assassin's Creed made zero impact on the pop culture and is almost completely forgotten a decade later. In this week's episode we look back at this 2016 movie to see if it deserved its fate or if it deserved better.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:20:00 GMT

After the first movie was a surprise hit, it's no surprise that Blumhouse greenlit a sequel. Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard both return but this time we add Skeet Ulrich to the cast, marking a long awaited on screen reunion between the two original Scream cast members. Except...well...not quite. This movie is a runaway success just like its predecessor, but what do the VGMP boys think of it?

Monster Hunter (2020)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:10:00 GMT

As we rapidly approach the final ever episode of VGMP it wouldn't be right not to have Jamie do battle one more time with his arch-nemesis; Paul W.S. Anderson. After maiming the Resident Evil franchise with six increasingly bad instalments, Anderson turned his attention to another Capcom franchise; Monster Hunter. Once again casting Mila Jovovich, will Anderson have a better take on this source material than he did Resident Evil? (Spoiler Alert: He won't.)

Sweet Home (1989)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

One that's been on Jamie's radar for a while now this week; Sweet Home is the first ever theatrically released videogame movie and was made in conjunction with its videogame counterpart (similar to previous episode Mirai Ninja). Perhaps more importantly, the film is directed by landmark J-Horror director Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) and was one of the chief inspirations behind one of Jamie's all time favourite games; Resident Evil!

Kill Bill - Yuki's Revenge (2025)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:50:00 GMT

Now this is a real first, at least as far as we can see, massively popular videogame Fortnite used its engine to render a deleted sequence from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" and made it viewable in game. It was such an unusual and unexpected thing to happen, we just had to cover it.

Mirai Ninja (1988)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:40:00 GMT

Now, you probably thought that Super Mario Bros. (1993) was the first videogame movie, right? That's what mummy and daddy told you when you were a tiny child who hadn't been awoken yet to how bad videogame movies could be? Well, your parents lied kid.

The ACTUAL first videogame movie is THIS: Mirai Ninja from the fine folks at Namco Bandai was made in conjunction with the videogame of the same name and was released in 1988 a full five years before Super Mario Bros. however, it was only released in Japan at the time which is why most people don't remember it.

This low budget movie is an odd blend of martial arts, sci-fi and Power Rangers. Seriously. It has to be seen to be believed.

King Koopa's Kool Kartoons (1989)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:30:00 GMT

It wouldn't be the final days of VGMP without Jamie having one more rage-filled meltdown and Rory certainly saved the best for last! King Koopa's Kool Kartoons is a forgotten (not to mention lost) TV series from 1989, of which only 8 surviving minutes have been found. How bad can 8 minutes be?

Well, strap in and pop on your headphones as we discuss the worst eight minutes you have ever heard in your life.

Seriously.

Saturday Supercade (1983)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:20:00 GMT

It's a bumper episode this week as we cover multiple game adaptations in one! Saturday Supercade was a compilation cartoon series which aired in the USA and included adaptations of games such as Donkey Kong, Q*Bert, Frogger and Space Ace amongst others!

Maniac Mansion (1990)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:10:00 GMT

This is one of the oddest things we've ever covered here on VGMP. Purportedly based on a 1980s computer game (though bearing essentially no resemblance to said game), this sitcom includes Eugene Levy (Schitt's Creek, American Pie) amongst its writers and several guest stars including Martin Short and David Cronenberg. The show ran for 3 seasons in the early 90s but is now largely forgotten, so the question is, is there any value to be found in digging this back up?

Pac-Man (1982)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Way back in 1982 this cartoon show based on the hit arcade game "Pac-Man" was momentarily the most viewed Saturday morning cartoon on US Television. Featuring both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, the show adds a fifth ghost to the games usual cadre of four as well as an evil overlord character named Mezmero. Does a Saturday morning Pac-Man cartoon hold up in 2025? Does it remain as timeless as the classic arcade game or does it feel like a relic lost to time?

TV Powww! (1978)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:50:00 GMT

A bonus mini-episode to look at this forgotten oddity from history; the TV Powww was a videogame system sold to local TV stations in the USA in the 1970s that allowed contestants to call up and play an interactive game by shouting the word "pow" into their phone.

Max Payne (2008)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:40:00 GMT

Based on Remedy's hit action-noir game from the PS2 era, Max Payne stars Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis along with Beau Bridges and has a fairly poor reputation. Remedy are known for their excellent stories in videogames but how does that translate to the big screen? It's time to strap in and find out as we watch Max Payne.

The King of Fighters (2009)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:30:00 GMT

Based on the SNK Fighting Game and featuring Nikita and Darth Maul, helmed by a prolific Hong Kong Director, The King Of Fighters is not a good movie. But it also isn't a boring movie. Combining cheesy one-liners, bright colours, martial arts and the biggest overuse of dutch angles you've ever seen, The King Of Fighters might not be good cinema, but it's certainly an experience.

Red Factions: Origins (2011)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:20:00 GMT

An origins film that is neither the origins of its franchise nor a prequel at all. Red Faction: Origins is actually the sequel to Red Faction: Guerilla and follows the son of that game's protagonist. A low budget sci-fi epic made by the SyFy Channel...the odds aren't in this films favour.

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. Jamie and Rory know very little about WoW, will the movie be an accessible starting point or will they be completely lost? There's only one way to find out...

Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter (2016)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT

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 find out!

Werewolves Within (2021)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:50:00 GMT

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!

Dead Rising: Endgame (2016)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:40:00 GMT

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?

Jamie and Rory take a look at this low budget Japanese movie based on cult horror game "Corpse Party." We covered this film once before but due to some illness-induced mishaps we felt we didn't give it a proper chance so we decided to tackle it again this year!

Until Dawn (2025)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:20:00 GMT

This interactive slasher game was a big success for Sony at one point and inspired a whole wave of similar games including The Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry, but one might wonder if there is any point in turning a game that was essentially a playable movie into a regular old non-playable movie. On this episode of VGMP, Jamie and Rory take a look to see if Until Dawn makes for a good movie.

On this week's episode of VGMP we're looking at a little known videogame movie; Company Of Heroes. Starring Tom Sizemore, Vinnie Jones and regular VGMP actor Neal McDonough. Deep in enemy territory, soldiers from a few allied nations are forced to work together to infiltrate a German prison and rescue a scientist who has been working on a top secret weapon.

Resident Evil 5: Retribution (2012)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:50:00 GMT

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.

Starring Jason Statham as a man named Farmer, this is Lord Of The Rings via Wish.com including an appearance from Gimli himself (Jonathan Rhys-Davies), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and an evil dark wizard played by...Ray Liotta!?

A Minecraft Movie (2025)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:30:00 GMT

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?

Tokimeki Memorial (1997)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:20:00 GMT

The movie sees a group of teens taking a job at a seaside café during their last summer before university and bonding over the experience.

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:10:00 GMT

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.

This week the boys take a look at a little known Japanese movie; Last Bronx: Tokyo Bangaichi, this low budget movie is set in a dystopian future where a fascistic corporation hosts a fighting tournament. Featuring a blend of dark visuals with some goofy and over the top characters, Last Bronx wears its low budget on its sleeve, which might actually work in its favour.

Produced for Crackle and starring Jesse Metcalfe (Desperate Housewives), Rob Riggle (Modern Family, The Office, a gazillion other comedies), Virginia Madsen (Candyman, Sideways) and Dennis Haysbert (24, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), the movie focuses on a young reporter caught in a quarantine zone after a deadly resurgence of the zombie virus.

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?

Anderson returns to the director's chair as well as performing scriptwriting duties on this 4th instalment in the action franchise. After finding the third entry particularly bad, will Afterlife prove to be a fitting title for this new entry?

Yoten Yo (Alan Wake 2) (2023)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 02:10:00 GMT

An unusual episode for VGMP this week. This isn't an adaptation of a game but rather a film contained within a game. Remedy's incredible survival horror game Alan Wake 2 contains in it a full arthouse-style movie that is surreal and disturbing. Jamie and Rory decided to talk about it, mainly so Jamie could have an excuse to talk about Alan Wake 2!

Blumhouse adapt this popular horror franchise that dominated much of the 2010s, performing remarkably well particularly for an indie game. Will the simple, jump-scare focused gameplay translate to a movie though?

Dead Rising: The Movie (2010)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 01:40:00 GMT

Produced by Capcom for release in Japan, Dead Rising: The Movie presents a new chapter in the developers second biggest zombie horror series. This low budget film may be lacking in budget but it makes up for it with plenty of whacky characters and inventive zombie action. Does it make for as enjoyable a movie as it does a videogame though?

Kung-Fu Master! (1988)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 01:00:00 GMT

TRIGGER WARNING: This movie and subsequently our conversation about it, touches upon themes that some people may find extremely disturbing.

This is a difficult episode that, truth be told, we might have been better scrapping all together. Kung-Fu Master! is the only videogame movie so far to be deemed worthy of special release by The Criterion Collection, though upon watching it we discovered that it's ties to said videogame are very minimal.

Instead this French movie explores the burgeoning romantic relationship between an adult mother and a teenage boy who is friends with her daughter. It's a difficult film to watch and one we found it particularly difficult to talk about. Please be aware that the subject matter may be disturbing for some people.

Borderlands (2024)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:20:00 GMT

It's being decried as one of the worst movies of all time, reviving the long established "videogame movie curse" and some have even said it feels like an Uwe Boll film. So the question becomes; is Borderlands really as bad as everybody says it is? Joined by special guests, Jamie and Rory take a look at this hot new release to decide if the negative reaction is undeserved or if Borderlands really deserves to be consigned to the trash heap.

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Based on the popular 1990s series of PC games, this science-fiction thriller stars 90s favourites Freddie Prinze Jr and Matthew Lillard in a story that feels like a mash-up of Top Gun and Starship Troopers.

Bubsy (1993)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 23:20:00 GMT

We love uncovering forgotten gems here on VGMP and this certainly ranks amongst them. Whilst he never stood with the likes of Sonic and Mario in the hall of platformer greats, Bubsy Bobcat had a few games in the early 1990s that were successful enough to warrant trying a cartoon based on the property. The result was this TV pilot that was not picked up for a full series. When you watch it, you'll understand why. This show is like an acid trip on the Vegas Strip.

No, your eyes don't deceive you, this movie does indeed star Sir Ben Kingsley in one of the biggest cases of "how the F*!K did that happen?" in the history of film. Clearly Ben was asking himself that question too because his performance here in unlike any performance you've ever seen him do. We promise.

The Last of Us (2023)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:50:00 GMT

The adaptation of the PlayStation's iconic "The Last Of Us" was heralded as being "much more" than just another horror show, promising pathos, complex characters and an exploration of difficult subject matter. When it finally released the show was well received by audience and season two is well on the way. The boys sat down to watch the entire first season and discuss it right here on VGMP!

Tetris (2023)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:40:00 GMT

An unusual videogame movie this week; rather than being an adaptation of a game's content "Tetris" is a dramatization of how the classic puzzle game was invented and how it made its way from the Soviet Union to the USA during the final years of the Cold War.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:30:00 GMT

The record-breaking Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023 is the first videogame movie to break one billion dollars at the box office! This juggernaut film was initially met with controversy when Chris Pratt was cast as the voice of Mario but this didn't hinder the film when it came time to rake in the big bucks! This show started with the 1993 Super Mario movie so it feels fitting, as we near the final days of the show, to review the 2023 movie!

Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:20:00 GMT

The sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson's 2002 Resident Evil movie is based loosely on the 3rd videogame in the franchise and sees Alice (Milla Jovovich) team up with Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) to try and save a young girl from the clutches of the Umbrella Corporation as Raccoon City falls to the zombie outbreak. Things are further complicated however by a relentless pursuer out to stop them at any cost; the Nemesis.

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:10:00 GMT

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.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Whilst the original Mortal Kombat movie might be bad, it does have a certain degree of cheesy, nostalgic charm baked into it. Can the same be said, however, for the 1997 sequel; "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"?

Joysticks (1983)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:20:00 GMT

An odd entry in the VGMP canon this week; from 1983, Joysticks asks the question "what if Porky's but in an arcade?" This 80s sex comedy features a group of Pac-Man addicts, some hapless nerds who just want to play their games in peace and, of course, parents gripped by a "think about the children" panic. The question however, is does any of it coalesce into a watchable movie? Listen to find out!

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?

January is well known as somewhat of a graveyard month when it comes to movie releases and in keeping with that tradition we're re-releasing our episode on Gamebox 1.0, one of the worst movies we have ever reviewed on the show. Nate Richert (Sabrina The Teenage Witch) stars as a videogame tester with a troubled past who is enlisted to test a brand new gaming console that can tap into the actual memories of the player.

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...

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?

Karl Urban and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson star in this action flick adapting the classic PC game DOOM. The Rock plays against type by portraying the movies villain and the movie makes the bold choice to eschew the Hell-based elements of the game. Does it make for a satisfying viewing experience?

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (1989)

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 10:40:00 GMT

The late 1980s saw videogame media making its first steps into the realm of film and television and usually the results were, at best, ill conceived. Like this show featuring former wrestler Lou Albano as Mario in live action segments interspersed between an animated cartoon. Various celebrities of the time guest star but the show is perhaps best remembered for its pseudo-rap opening theme set to the original theme of the game!

It's an animated movie that definitely makes some interesting choices when it comes to voice cast and some of the more "anime" elements found in the film (yes, Robotnik kidnaps a cat-girl then fantasises about having an entire brood of children with her, it's weird, we move past it.)

Attempting to combine both of the first two games into one film may have been too high a task to start with, when you factor in the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduced budget Screen Gems gave the movie, it's possible this one was doomed to be dead on arrival.
