VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast
DLC: Bubsy (TV Pilot)
Season 5, Ep. 40
•
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.

52. DLC: Sonic Mania Adventures
21:06||Season 5, Ep. 52A throwback to the classic early 90s animation style of the Sonic cartoon, Sonic Mania Adventures was a piece of tie-in media released alongside the popular retro-style game Sonic Mania.51. Gran Turismo
01:10:38||Season 5, Ep. 51Loosely based on a true story; Gran Turismo tells the story of an outside-the-box marketing expert, a washed up race car driver and a teenager from the UK with big dreams who come together to try and pull off the ultimate brand cross over. To turn an adept player of Sony's Gran Turismo game (sorry, I mean "driving simulator") in a real life race car driver.50. DLC: Resident Evil: Wesker's Report
18:13||Season 5, Ep. 50We'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?49. Detective Pikachu
01:14:11||Season 5, Ep. 49Jamie & 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?48. Borderlands
01:16:33||Season 5, Ep. 48It'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.47. Yakuza - Like A Dragon
01:00:06||Season 5, Ep. 47This 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?46. DLC: Portal: No Escape
28:26||Season 5, Ep. 46A 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.45. Retro: Hackers
01:20:30||Season 5, Ep. 45This 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?44. DLC: Xavier's Arcade Challenge
23:20||Season 5, Ep. 44Jamie 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.
