VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

How exactly do you turn a fighting game franchise most known for it's implementation of....and we're not kidding here..."jiggle physics" (TM) into a blockbuster action movie? Well, somebody tried it, and since they did, Jamie & Rory had to watch it. 

Released as a promotional feature alongside Far Cry 3, this web series features Christopher Mintz-Plasse playing a fictionalised version of himself who finds his lovely tropical cruise interrupted by the arrival of Vas (Michael Mando)

Jamie and Rory take a brief look at an internet comedy short that tells the story of two men engaged in a battle to top one another's high scores on a Pac-Man arcade cabinet. 

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!

A 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.

Loosely 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.

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?
