MGS: The Movie and Game Show

Reunited and it feels so good. There's nothing quite like returning to the world of terrible video game movie adaptations, especially when that return leads us back to Silent Hill.

This week, we're talking about Flubber. Yep. Flubber.

We're so back. If you want to follow us on Letterboxd, you can do so here: Scott's LetterboxdBobby's Letterboxd

As a little bonus episode, we've remastered the audio from one of our all-time favourite episodes (and favourite movies), Short Circuit 2, originally published three years ago in February of 2023.Join us in revisiting Johnny 5 and his hats as he takes to the skies of New York City.

This week, we make our predictions about what will happen in the world of video games this year, review last year's predictions, and fill out our Video Game Fantasy Draft. If you'd like to play along with the Fantasy Draft, leave a comment with 10 games coming out this year that you think will get a Metacritic score of 70 or above, and what you predict their score will be.

We wrap our discussion about our favourite games of 2025 with a chat about indie titles, including Europa, Silksong, Skate Story, and more. We also read a few Google reviews in That's Fraud.

This week, we're talking about the best, or most interesting, games that we played in 2025, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and more. Next week, we will be talking specifically about our favourite indie titles, so Silksong fans, that's the one you won't want to skip.

We begin our wrap-up of 2025 by talking about some of our favourite films that we watched throughout the year, including Sinners, Nosferatu, Fantastic 4: First Steps, and more.

We're having a bit of fun today and playing some Buzz!: Master Quiz for the PSP, and then going around the world to do a bit of That's Fraud!Video segment begins at 4:10.

This week, we're talking about what stood out to us from the Game Awards.

This week, we watch, recap, and review the 2023 Netflix adaptation of Capcom's Onimusha.

This week, we're talking about the short-lived and ill-fated series Tekken: Bloodline. a 6-episode series that adapts the events of Tekken 3.

This week, we watch, recap, and review Captain Laserhawk, a strange Netflix series featuring several characters from Ubisoft games, including Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good and Evil, and Watch Dogs.

We close the book (for the time being) on the Evil Dead series this week with the latest film, Evil Dead Rise.

We're back in the spooky saddle this week, continuing with the Evil Dead series. Sam Raimi is out, and it's Fede Álvarez's turn at the helm with 2013's Evil Dead reboot, which mostly does away with the silliness and triples down on the gore.

This week, we're talking about some more games! Scott tells us all about the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3.

It's been a whirlwind week for us, so we're taking a slight detour away from the Evil Dead films, and just catching up a bit this week. We do a little bit of That's Fraud! And we also chat about Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

This week, we wrap up our recap and review of the original Evil Dead trilogy. Next time, we'll move on to the modern era of the series, beginning with Evil Dead (2013).

This week we move on to Evil Dead 2, the "ReQuel" to Sam Raimi's 1981 The Evil Dead. This is, according to Scott, the best movie literally of all time.

Spooky season is here! And with it comes a new series for us to review. This autumn we'll be watching, reviewing, and ranking the five films in the Evil Dead film series. First up is the original The Evil Dead from 1981, a splatter horror classic and the directorial debut of eventual Spider-Man director, Sam Raimi.

Let's return to the world of video game adaptations this week with Until Dawn, released in April of this year, the spookiest of all the months.

The boys are back! Who would have thought we would be blessed by a second outing with Bernie's stinking, rotted corpse? Why IGN's Alien Isolation Review is an Insult to Journalismhttps://youtu.be/_RcyC5EzoeQ?si=llClXf8gUEcRZ5-7

This week, we're desperately clinging to the last few weeks of summer and talking about the classic summertime comedy, Weekend at Bernie's.

This week, we're talking about some of the games we've been playing over the summer, including PowerWash Simulator, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4.

This is it, the actual FINAL contribution to the Summer of Dinosaurs, 2023's 65, starring Adam Driver. After seven Jurassic movies, we wanted to end with something a little bit different. Was it worth it? Eh.

Well, here we are. It's not the end of the Summer of Dinosaurs, but the end is in sight as we watch one more shameless cash grab as Universal drags the tired Jurassic franchise through prehistoric mud once again.

This week, we finally jump the mosasaurus and chuck the whole Jurassic cast into a blender, and come out with a piss smoothie.

Let's talk about the abysmal follow-up to Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom.

On this week's Summer of Dinosaurs feature, we take a look at Jurassic World and Chris Pratt's weird little accent that he's doing.

This week, we're taking a look at some PSP titles that we've played over the last few months, and playing a bit of Buzz: Master Quiz together.

This week, we're going back to the PS2 to take a look at Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, the first park builder/sim game based on the movies.

Jurassic Park III is not good but it is probably better than you remember. At least a little bit. Let's talk about it.

What happened, Steven? What made you make this movie this way? Let's talk about the tragedy of The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

We kick off the Summer of Dinosaurs with a review and recap of Jurassic Park, the only good dinosaur movie ever made.

This week, we are watching, recapping, and reviewing A Minecraft Movie, a truly abysmal film.

Well. This week was supposed to be A Minecraft Movie. But. Whoops. Instead, we're doing a full hour of Google Reviews, and a naughty PowerPoint prepared by the Doctor himself.

This week, we've got a double billing of PS2 games for you. First up is Babe (2006), the very late and very abhorrent licensed movie tie-in. Then, as a palate cleanser, we talk about Rayman Revolution (2000), the enhanced PS2 port of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. This will be our last PS2 Fast PS2 Furious episode for some time, while we shift our focus to Portable Ops (PSP). But rest assured, we will be back.

This week, we're reviewing the new DMC anime on Netflix, created by Adi Shankar. We also read more bad reviews for restaurants in small towns in Canada. We'll probably be doing that a lot.

This week, we're taking a look at our Video Games Fantasy Draft as we approach the midway point of 2025, and talk a bit more about Dallin's trip to Vancouver Island.

This week we're talking about the original DMC animated series, a short, in-canon series that takes place between the first and second Devil May Cry games.

In this episode, we begin our new sub-podcast, Portable Ops, focused entirely on the PlayStation Portable and its incredible lineup of games. This week, we discuss several titles, including Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, Silent Hill: Origins, Test Drive: Unlimited, and play a few rounds of Buzz: Master Quiz.

This week, we're talking about our time playing the original Devil May Cry, a new experience for both of us, before we dive into the two animated DMC series over the next few weeks. We also talk about the video How to Get Back Into a Game, According to Science, by Mark Maxwell, which discusses psychological tips to help you feel more fulfilled by the games that you play.

This week we're taking a look at what we've been playing and watching during the first few months of 2025, including discussions about Assassin's Creed Shadows, Korok hunting in Breath of the Wild, and watching The Thing and The Ring.

This week, we're discussing the long-delayed, frequently-cursed, and ultimately underwhelming adaptation of Uzumaki, Junji Ito's cosmic/body horror masterpiece. Recommended viewing: How Media Scares Us: The Work of Junji Ito

This week, we're discussing Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, an animated series released late in 2024, animated by the same studio that did both Castlevania series, and starring Hayley Atwell and Richard Armitage.

This week, we're back to the core of the Video Game Cinematic Universe with Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

We are so back. This week we watch, review, and rank the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne alongside other video game-to-TV adaptations. If you haven't watched it yet, please do, so we get a third season.

Let's watch the newest trailer for Death Stranding 2!

Just when we thought we were out, a brand-new documentary about George A. Romero's ill-fated adaptation of Resident Evil drops right into our laps. We end this chapter of MGS (and our lives) by looking at what could have been and, and by discussing the book Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, by Alex Aniel. See you in October 2026, Resident Evil! The wait won't be long enough.

We both failed the Fantasy Draft challenge in 2024, so as punishment, we're playing Puppet Combo's 2018 game, Nun Massacre on this special video episode. This video is also available on YouTube if you prefer to watch along on there: https://youtu.be/eKayXWNk5VE

Well, here we are. We made it to the end of the Resident Evil series. What lessons have we learned from made-up character Alice, or from other favourites like Chris and His Clothes, Jill and Her Wig, or Ron Davis is Arrested for Insider Trading? Maybe the lesson is to just stop trying to adapt Resident Evil and let the games be great on their own.
