Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero manage to stumble into a generic war movie that just so happens to be based on the game Company of Heroes.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero hop in a Warthog to fight the Covenant with Master Chief and a bunch of forgettable children soldiers in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by The Diad and Bedroth from The Movie Bar as two different and very specific podcast ideas collide!

And since Jason is friends with one the stars, Michael Hitchcock joins us to share stories about this Christopher Guest classic! Adding around 50 minutes […]
Vanessa Cahill and John Lucero hold down the fort and reminisce about how bad technology used to be and rank everybody in the GAJ crew on the devil-volcano scale while playing the game – “Devil or Volcano?!” Also, hear our thoughts on the movie, Tekken: Blood Vengeance. Adding around 20 minutes to the episode for […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero watch Pokémon the Movie: Black – Victini and Reshiram, the first of the Generation V movies.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by Michael Hughes to talk about Red Faction: Origins. This made-for-TV movie was to serve as a pilot for a potential TV series on SyFy. Did Origins bomb as bad as Red Faction: Armageddon, the game it was to serve as the prequel for? Listen in […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are going back for one more run into the bleak future that is Dead Space. As the movie that bridges the gap between Dead Space and Dead Space 2, it fills in some blanks, but how much does that actually help? And once again, this movie, despite rather […]
Vanessa Cahill, John Lucero, and Jason Arriola are once again getting caught up in the Mishima curse. No dinosaurs getting ripped open at the mouth like a zipper in this one. No, this one is live action and weirdly very, very horny. Our bonus segment adds another 25 minutes of the show for our $3 […]
Vanessa Cahill, John Lucero, and Jason Arriola are, much like this movie, in 3D!

Yup, after putting out over 70 episodes, we decided to re-air one. Because Pokémon Arcues releasing on Friday, we thought we’d try to cash in on that sweet, sweet zeitgeist moment. Anyway, it’s not all the same stuff you heard five months ago. Nope, you’re getting the bonus segments usually reserved for our $3 a […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are once again joined by Jessie Obando! This time, the gang watched Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Is the cast way too white?

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are once again joined by Jessie Obando as we take another break from the inexplicable torture that is trying to watch every video game movie ever made.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are trying to solve the logic puzzle of Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are wishing they had the ability to use bullet time so they could blast through this confusing take on Max Payne.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero need a break. Again. This endeavor is exhausting, so instead of a video game movie, we watched Jason’s favorite movie, Terminator 2: Judgement Day!

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are watching another Pokémon movie. This time, its Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Does the Legendary or the Mythical Pokémon suck worse in this? Stay tuned and find out as we try a slightly new format. Also, head over to Patreon and for $3, you’ll get a […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero watched Onechanbara this week. You know, based on the costumes alone, we’re amazed this isn’t even close to being the most sexist thing we’ve ever watched. Support us on Patreon! Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook! Theme song composed by Megan Carnes. Logo designed by Vanessa Cahill. […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are checking out a movie that is at least in the same ballpark as the source material. Hitman is more like a Bourne movie than a Hitman game, but at least the delightful Timothy Olyphant is in it (even if he is a bit miscast). Support us on […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero go back to some happier stuff and watch Resident Evil: Extinction. It’s bad when a movie about humanity and nearly all life on earth being wiped out with the environment collapsing is less of an emotional slog to get through than Postal, but that’s where our lives are. […]

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero rope in Josh Carpenter from RPGamer to help explain what the hell was going on in the movie we watched. This time, we’re confused not because of being completely clueless about the source material. No, this time we’re confused because we watched a version with…less than accurate subtitles. […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are jumping into the fourth generation of Pokémon by watching Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai. It introduces a fair amount of new Pokémon and dumps May and Max in favor of Dawn. Dawn is not only less annoying than May and Max, but she also has Piplup as […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are taking a break from video game movies to watch Tommy Boy as our Christmas present to ourselves! It’s the end of one of the most… interesting… years we’ve lived through . With some real clunkers to watch on the horizon, we thought it best to watch something […]
Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by Nadia Oxford from the Axe of the Blood podcast and USgamer for our 50th episode! How do you make a slow-life game into a 90 minute movie?

This week, we’re joined by a special guest, Brian Shea of Game Informer! Brian joins us to talk about Like A Dragon: Prologue, a prequel movie of sorts to the first Yakuza game. How did a movie that’s based on a game that really hadn’t found its identity yet turn out? Tune in and find […]
This week, we’re watching what might be the movie with the most unrealized potential, Forbidden Siren. There’s a good movie (or two, or three) in here somewhere, but what’s here serves as an adequate mess at its best. If you’re new here, we’re throwing in our bonus segment at the end that’s normally reserved for […]
Ah yes, another Uwe Boll joint. Is there anyway there’s something salvageable buried in this movie? I mean, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Rodriguez, Billy Zane, and Michael Madsen are in it. Can they possibly elevate something this horny into something watchable? And alas, another Michelle Rodriguez gone. Support us on Patreon! Theme song composed by Megan […]
Luke Maxwell joins Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero for his first appearance on Multimedia Failure! We’re watching something with The Rock again. Does DOOM hold a candle a Rampage? How has that first person sequence aged? And most importantly, how does The Rock (2005) compare to The Rock (2018) for Vanessa? Support us […]
