On this week's episode, Cody enthusiastically shares with Joe the latest adaptation of the iconic science fiction film Starship Troopers, which has been reimagined by the talented writer and director Neil Blomkamp. Blomkamp, known for his unique visual storytelling and thought-provoking narratives, brings a fresh perspective to the beloved source material. Cody delves into the specifics of this adaptation, discussing how it aims to capture the essence of the original while introducing new elements that resonate with contemporary audiences. He highlights the innovative special effects and the thought-provoking themes that Blomkamp is renowned for, creating anticipation for fans of the genre.Transitioning to another popular franchise, Joe informs Cody about the remarkable success of the Halo TV series, which has gained a significant following on Netflix, particularly outside the United States. This unexpected popularity sparks a discussion about the global appeal of video game adaptations and how they are finding new audiences in international markets. Joe expresses his surprise at the show's reception, considering the mixed reviews it initially received, and they both ponder what factors contributed to its rise in popularity, such as engaging storytelling and strong character development.As the conversation shifts, Cody provides a detailed breakdown of the rumors circulating after the shocking death of a major character in the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again. The unexpected twist has left fans reeling, and Cody explores the implications it may have on the storyline and character arcs moving forward. Joe listens intently, sharing his own theories and speculating about how this bold creative choice might impact the series' reception and its connection to the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe.Joe then expresses his disbelief that The Minecraft Movie hasn't already been released in theaters, given the immense popularity of the game. He reflects on the potential for such a film to either soar to great heights or crash and burn at the box office, considering the challenges of adapting a game with such a loose narrative structure. This leads to a broader discussion about the risks associated with video game adaptations and the expectations that come with them.Continuing along the theme of adaptations, the conversation turns to Disney's apparent lack of confidence in the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White. Cody and Joe analyze the marketing strategies employed by Disney and how they reflect the company's faith in their projects. They discuss the mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, particularly regarding the casting choices and the changes made to the beloved story, which have sparked significant debate within the community.This naturally leads to a conversation about the backlash surrounding other live-action remakes, focusing on the new Lilo & Stitch film. Joe expresses his frustration at the vocal complaints from fans regarding changes made to characters and storylines in these adaptations. The duo examines the balance between honoring the original material and updating it for modern audiences, pondering whether filmmakers should prioritize nostalgia or innovation when reimagining classic tales.As they continue to reminisce about cinematic history, Joe recounts the notorious disaster that was the live-action Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993. With its convoluted plot and stark departure from the source material, the film has become a cautionary tale for future adaptations. Cody and Joe dissect what went wrong with this film, reflecting on how it has impacted the perception of video game movies ever since and what lessons can be learned from its failures.Finally, the discussion takes a fascinating turn as they dive deep into the works of David Cronenberg, exploring his distinctive filmmaking style and the themes that permeate his body of work. They analyze how Cronenberg's films often blur the lines between horror and science fiction, delving into the human psyche and the complexities of identity. This exploration reveals their admiration for Cronenberg's ability to challenge audiences and provoke thought through his provocative storytelling.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Apologies, we've been having issues with our feed, so this is why this is just now being posted. * This was originally recorded on 07/22/2024 *For 11 years, college football fans have been without a video game to call their own, and a court case effectively made it impossible to create a licensed CFB game. However, after three years of development, last week, EA College Football 25 became a reality, and with its release an outpour of hype and emotions swept over the nation as gamers and CFB fans could now go play as their favorite squads or alma maters yet again. Was the long wait worth it? Should you go out and buy it now? Or stick with what Madden's been offering over the years? Sean has his thoughts after spending almost a week now with the game. In more gaming-focused news, Microsoft and the FTC are perhaps in a battle again over the new edition to Xbox Game Pass and whether or not it degrades the service. Microsoft has responded to the FTC's claim. Who's right? Does the qualm really have any weight to it? And could the FTC actually win? Also, Bethesda Game Studios unionized, the Halo TV show is canceled, are big publishers not giving live service games a big enough window to succeed? Fallout TV Show gets a lot of Emmy Nominations and more!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/c6G5D2ify2o- If you prefer podcasts: Listen and give us a review on these platforms... -Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44LAmazon: https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTWPodchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904IHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/- Follow on X (Twitter): -Sean on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/W2MSeanMarc on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/HumanityPlagueW2M Network on Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/w2mnetwork- Other Social Media -Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@w2mnetwork2Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/aydMgvUN9dFollow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w2mnetwork/Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork

Surface Laptop 7 review: big, heavy, no presence sensing or fingerprint reader. Right, I love it. Also, the ThinkPad T14s arrived. Related: Intel cops to mistake in Core Gen 13/14 processors, will issue fix. Why this is unprecedented. And also precedented. Also, why precedented is a word. Microsoft is FINALLY bringing ads to the Microsoft Store search box. Microsoft starts testing new Start menu layouts. Surely one of them has live tites. Canary build today: Duplicate File Explorer tab, not much else. AI/Antitrust Meta is making a surprising—and surprisingly strong—case for AI as open-source. Proton adds an AI writing assistant to its Drive-based Docs. Amazon lost an alleged $25 billion on Alexa devices over four years, so itʼs all in on AI-based devices now! (Panos Panay is the perfect fit for this business if the goal is to be unprofitable). Google effectively kills Privacy Sandbox in a victory for regulation. Microsoft probably cleared the final hurdle to avoid EU antitrust action on cloud licensing. Hey, it worked with security companies and the Windows kernel!

Subscription services (Netflix, Spotify, not so much Game Pass) are KILLING it,but theyʼre also in full-on enshirtification mode - how do we fix this? Can we fix this. Xbox FTC complains about Xbox Game changes. They're not wrong. But they're not right either. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III lands on Game Pass today - what the what Also, Microsoft muffed the landing badly - but it appears to be working now Halo TV series canceled. It's the worst thing that's happened with Xbox this entire year Tips and Picks Tip of the week: The best thing about Copilot in Windows 11 now With Copilot switching from a pane to an app, thereʼs an unintended benefit that comes into play when you use an AI PC with a Copilot key on it. Youʼre never going to believe what happens next. App pick of the week: Microsoft Designer for image generation Microsoft Designer exited preview last week and thereʼs at least one secret benefit to using it: Unlike Copilot, you can create wide and portrait images (and not just square) without paying. This is why I pay for Copilot Pro. (You do need to sign in with an MSA, however.)
