VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

We're continuing to release our classic episodes and this one was certainly an odd one. Poor Rory fell ill one week and couldn't record and so Jamie decided to grab a mic and record thoughts on this strange piece of Resident Evil content that Capcom released alongside limited editions of Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X. Shining some light on the actions of the series signature villain Albert Wesker, is there's anything in Wesker's Report that is still worth seeing in 2024?

Jamie & Rory return to the Pokémon franchise as they review this Hollywood offering. Starring Deadpool (I mean, Ryan Reynolds) as Pikachu, Detective Pikachu was positively received on release but doesn't seem to have made an impact long term. Does it hold up a few years later?

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.

This week the boys look at this adaptation by legendary Japanese director Takashi Miike of Sega's popular action RPG franchise. This is one of Rory's favourite franchises but will the movie stack up?

A short proof-of-concept movie based on Valve's popular puzzler videogame. A woman wakes inside a facility and desperately seeks escape with the help of a portal gun.

This one is a blast from the past! From the early days of VGMP when we were still recording sharing one very cheap microphone in Jamie's noisy front room. Chill out with this freshly polished re-release as Jamie and Rory discuss 90s technothriller Hackers. A dive into hacking subculture that appears to have been made by somebody as far removed from said subculture as possible. Rory has a soft spot for this one but will Jamie see its charms?

Jamie and Rory sit down to review an unusual piece of gaming media; a small feature in which WWE Superstar Xavier Woods travels to arcade cafe's and tries out various videogames.

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. However, the film seems to be focusing its attention in the wrong areas. Tune in to this episode as Jamie and Rory discuss where the film goes wrong and how it could be fixed.

In this week's DLC edition of VGMP, the boys look at this odd little promotional film that was released alongside Grand Theft Auto 2. Essentially a music video packed full of that late 90s quick cutting, headache inducing visual style.
