VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

The boys turn back the clock to review the first Pokemon Movie. This film was a hype machine back in the day, with Avengers Endgame levels of excitement in the run up to its release. Introducing fans to Pokemon #151 Mew and pitting him against the ominous Mewtwo, the movie promised to be a bout that would rock fans of the popular anime. Did the film live up to expectations and how does it stack up all of these years later?

The boys kick off the final season of VGMP by reviewing 2021's Mortal Kombat reboot! This time the film centres on an original character who is brought into the world of Mortal Kombat where he is met by characters from the games including Raiden, Kano and Sonia Blade.

The first major motion picture outing of the Final Fantasy franchise is one of the most infamous flops in history, effectively killing Square and forcing them to merge to survive. With its sci-fi setting and alien ghosts, the film doesn't feel too much like the games on which it is based. Despite that, how does the film stand up?

Infamous Japanese director Takashi Miike takes a crack at adapting the popular Capcom franchise "Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright" to the big screen. Blending live action filmmaking with the bombastic characters usually found in Japanese anime, the result is certainly interesting to say the least. But does it make for a good movie? Listen to find out!

Based on the popular horror franchise known as Fatal Frame (also known as Project Zero in some territories), this is one of the better movies we have reviewed on VGMP. A simple little horror movie, the simplicity is the key strength of Fatal Frame.

This week's episode of VGMP takes us to Japan for this adaptation of the cult survival horror franchise. This low budget horror has an indie feel that has a patchy result. What works in the film and what falls flat? Tune in to find out!

Capcom's Dreamcast arcade fighter has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years, but not many know that there was a full anime adaptation of the game! Jamie and Rory have sat down to watch a few episodes, but is there enough story in the arcade style game to stretch over a full series?

We continue to dig into the VGMP vaults and bring you re-edited and polished up versions of previous episodes. This week we're talking about the Ryan Reynolds vehicle Free Guy! Originally made by Fox but eventually obtained by Disney when they brought out 20th Century Fox, Free Guy has an intriguing premise; what if an NPC character in a videogame gained sentience? Does the film explore this concept to its full potential? Will Ryan Reynolds finally step out of his snark-filled Deadpool-esque comfort zone? There's only one way to find out...

Listeners will know that Jamie and Rory both enjoyed the 2006 Silent Hill movie quite a bit. Unfortunately this follow up isn't so fondly remembered. Featuring a confused plot and an ill-advised pre-ponderance with 3D, Silent Hill: Revelation might be one of the biggest sequel downgrades of all time.
