VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

Retro: DOOM

Season 5, Ep. 75

Relive one of the classic VGMP episodes this week as we bring you our popular episode DOOM refreshed and re-edited to improve your listening experience. 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?

    01:43:57||Season 6, Ep. 5
    As 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.
