6. Retro: Black Heaven
01:30:59||Season 6, Ep. 6We're proud to present, freshly edited and polished, one of the best episodes in the VGMP back catalogue. Black Heaven is a little known French movie that we went into with little expectations. We were surprised to find we actually really enjoyed the movie and now you can listen to us talk about it in this remastered episode!5. Retro: eXistenZ
01:43:57||Season 6, Ep. 5As we continue through 2025 we're releasing more of our back catalogue from before VGMP came onto the Impala network. Today we're talking about this 1990s film from the master of body-horror David Cronenberg. Starring Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh along with appearances from Christopher Ecclestone, Willem Dafoe and Callum Keith-Rennie, this film revolves around a "biological" videogame console that is played by being plugged directly into the spine of the user. As you can probably imagine, things don't go smoothly.4. Retro: Videogame Earth Force
01:12:03||Season 6, Ep. 4It's here, the nadir of videogame movies. The infamous "Videogame Earth Force" episode of VGMP is here, re-released in newly edited and trimmed down glory. Listen to Jamie have a mental breakdown in real time as the boys discuss this movie from 2008 (also known as Electronic Gladiators and The Controller).3. Retro: Maximum Surge
01:04:04||Season 6, Ep. 3An oddity of a movie; made from a handful of original scenes stitched together from footage of defunct FMV games, this movie features appearances from Star Trek's Walter Koenig and Baywatch's Yasmine Bleeth.2. Retro: Gamebox 1.0
01:31:53||Season 6, Ep. 2January 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.1. Retro: It Came From The Desert
01:27:23||Season 6, Ep. 1We kick of 2025 by re-releasing this classic episode from VGMP's past. This classic retro videogame got the movie adaptation treatment in 2017 and fully embraces its b-movie style. Jamie and Rory sat down to talk about the film and found a surprise when they did so.88. 2024 Retrospective
57:16||Season 5, Ep. 88Alas the clock is about to strike midnight on another year in videogame movie reviews.
