VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

The boys return to the world of the blue blur this week on VGMP as they review Netflix's animated series "Sonic Prime" which sees the world's fastest hedgehog sent careening into a parallel reality where the council of Eggman's reign supreme.

This week our journey through the Phantasy Star Online 2 anime continues as finally the story starts to take shape and we get an idea of where this show might be going.

Another classic episode from the VGMP vault, "The Last Starfighter" is directed by Nick Castle (yes, the guy who played Michael Myers in the original Halloween) and whilst ostensibly a children's movie contains some moments of true horror including melting bodies and disturbing copies.

In this episode the boys continue their journey through the anime based on Phantasy Star Online 2. Following a rocky start to the series, will this next block of episodes be able to correct the course?

Wreck-It Ralph has often been described as Toy Story for the videogame age and that certainly seems to be an apt description when viewing this 2012 Disney movie. Featuring John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch, this takes us into the world of an arcade game villain feeling like he needs something more from his life. Whilst his fellow villains urge him to stay in his lane, Ralph finds himself breaking free of the confines of his game and role and thrust into new and unfamiliar territory.

The boys are back in Sega-land this week as they review the first few episodes of this animation based on Phantasy Star Online 2

From the VGMP vault comes this classic episode from a few years ago, the first Tekken property that we reviewed on the show! This CGI animated movie is absolutely crazy, at least to someone not familiar with the popular Playstation 1v1 fighter, though if it would be any different for fans of the series, we're not so sure...

After previously reviewing the Japanese take on a "Dead Rising" movie, this time the boys take a look at the first American effort. Produced for Crackle and starring Jesse Metcalfe (Desperate Housewives), Rob Riggle (Modern Family, The Office, a gazillion other comedies), Virginia Madsen (Candyman, Sideways) and Dennis Haysbert (24, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), the movie focuses on a young reporter caught in a quarantine zone after a deadly resurgence of the zombie virus. Teaming up with other survivors, he has to find a way out of the infected area before the US military decide to wipe away the problem with a tactical nuke.

It's always a wild time when the boys take on the work of Uwe Boll on this show and today they go right back to the beginning of Boll's infamous run of videogame adaptations as they review House Of The Dead.
