Podcasts about video game adaptation

Frank and Thomas sit down on Challenge Accepted to unpack Episode 6, “The Price.” They cover the museum space sequence, Joel's flashback, Ellie's growing doubts, and whether seven episodes can truly deliver the season's emotional punch. Along the way they praise Pedro Pascal's layered work and debate the show's biggest changes from the game. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 | First reactions and why this feels like a return to form 01:00 | Space-museum scene and game accuracy 02:00 | Ellie's attitude shift and Bella Ramsey's range 04:00 | Joel's childhood flashback and father-son parallels 07:00 | Where is Tommy and why his absence matters 09:00 | Season length worries and missing Abby moments 10:00 | Astronaut dream, father-daughter themes, Pedro's subtle acting 12:00 | Joel's lie to Gail, Eugene's fate, and rising plot holes 15:00 | Porch conversation breakdown: “I'd do it all again” 17:00 | The show without Joel and gamer reactions 19:00 | Need for deeper Abby focus before the finale 20:00 | Pedro Pascal's career year and upcoming roles 22:00 | Listener takes, teen-parent dynamics, and Christina's view 24:00 | Joel's hidden depth and the puddle analogy 25:00 | Will Joel return in flashbacks 26:00 | Finale expectations and a Walking Dead–style drop-off risk 27:00 | Toy leaks, prequels done right, and season wrap-up hopes Key Takeaways The space-museum sequence perfectly honors the game and cements Joel's devotion to Ellie. Joel's flashback reframes his protective instincts and adds emotional weight. Seven episodes feel tight given key characters like Abby and Tommy are still underused. Pedro Pascal's nuanced performance anchors the season's biggest moments. Ellie's rebellion finally feels justified as she spots gaps in Joel's story. The finale must balance closure with setup for Season 3 to keep viewers invested. Quotes “If I had the chance to do it all again, I would do it all over again tonight.” “Just because you see a puddle doesn't mean it isn't four feet deep.” “Pedro Pascal is a generational talent and we get to be the beneficiaries.” Call to Action Like what you heard?

Test your might! This week, The Decision Reel enters the arena to pit Mortal Kombat (1995) against Mortal Kombat (2021) in a brutal showdown of nostalgia vs. modern mayhem. Which reigns supreme — the cheesy charm of the '90s or the R-rated fatalities of the reboot? Join us as we dive into the characters, action, music, and what each version got right (or hilariously wrong). Flawless victory? Not quite... but it's a fight worth watching.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank dissect Season 2, Episode 5 of The Last of Us, titled "Feel Her Love." The duo dives into the pacing of the story, the return of airborne spores, Ellie's descent into vengeance, and how the show is adapting key video game moments. They also unpack the evolution of Ellie and Dina's relationship, the brutal tactics of the Seraphites, and how voice actors from the game are being honored in the series. Plus, a look ahead to next week's emotional flashback episode featuring Joel and Ellie in a space museum. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Introduction and initial thoughts on the episode 00:23 – Pacing critique and game-to-show comparisons 01:45 – The reintroduction of airborne spores and narrative implications 03:33 – The Rat King foreshadowing and Cordyceps lore 05:16 – The Ellie and Dina relationship discussion 08:22 – Dina's backstory and her role as Ellie's moral compass 11:33 – Comparing Ellie's motives in the show vs. the game 13:29 – Jesse's return and the fallout of Ellie's decisions 15:05 – Smarter infected and horror elements in the show 16:39 – Tension between Ellie and Jesse 17:36 – Chemistry issues between Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced 19:14 – The brutality of the Seraphites and visual storytelling 21:20 – Hospital confrontation with Nora and narrative choices 23:30 – B2 level and the haunting fungal visuals 25:10 – Ellie's torture tactics and moral decay 26:14 – Voice actor cameos and Naughty Dog's casting continuity 28:09 – Flashbacks and the upcoming museum/space scene 30:14 – Pedro Pascal appreciation and season predictions 32:24 – Final thoughts on the episode and excitement for next week Key Takeaways: The show brings back the airborne spores concept from the game, deepening the threat of infection. Ellie's journey is leaning heavily into vengeance, and it's changing her morally. Dina is given more agency, grounding Ellie emotionally while adding dramatic tension. Jesse's reappearance adds layers to the drama, especially given his relationship with Dina. The infected are getting smarter, adding horror elements not typical in standard zombie shows. Fans of the game will recognize the iconic space museum flashback teased for next episode. Voice actors from the game are given meaningful roles in the show, showcasing their talent beyond voice work. Quotes: “We're seeing Ellie go into the dark side, accepting it because it's the most effective way to get things done.” “It's nice to see Dina not just as a love interest, but as someone Ellie needs to stay grounded.” “Pedro Pascal is the top A-list actor right now—don't come for him, Rowling.” “Voice actors are actors.

In the spirit of Easter, Oscar and Carl died for their Monday upload… and two days later, they rose again to reupload it. But before they could sit down and ask the big question — who would watch Uncharted? — Marky Mark himself kicked in the door, claiming that the episode would've gone very differently if he'd been allowed to be a host.Join us as we follow Tom Holland's and Mark Wahlberg's being weird for like 2 hours, to figure out who would watch this. Find us through:Email: askwwwtpodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whowouldwatchthis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whowouldwatchthis/ TikTok: @podcastwhowouldwatchthis More links: https://linktr.ee/whowouldwatchthis

This week on Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas break down The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2—one of the most devastating and talked-about episodes of the series to date. From Joel's brutal fate to Abby's introduction and the fallout across Jackson, they explore how the show mirrors and diverges from the game, what it means for Ellie's arc, and how the showrunners are reshaping fan expectations. The discussion dives into the emotional weight of the storytelling, the controversy around Abby, and why this episode might define the season. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and Spoiler Warning 00:24 Holding in the spoiler for years 01:28 Comparing Joel's moment to the Red Wedding 02:01 That golf club scene 03:04 Game vs show differences in Joel's death 04:05 Impact of Dina and Tommy being present 05:15 Ellie's choice to keep going 06:10 Joel's mindset and Ellie's last words 07:14 The emotional weight and realism 08:00 Reactions from non-gamers 09:00 The gamer/non-gamer divide 10:00 HBO's strategy with Abby and fan backlash 10:52 Ellie's new motivation and mirroring Abby's pain 11:37 Why Kaitlyn Dever works as Abby 13:04 What Abby's story sets up going forward 14:15 Fan reaction to playing Abby in the game 15:04 When media earns your emotions 15:50 The game's final song wrecks fans again 16:44 Jackson's development and vulnerability 17:27 Zombies evolving, Walking Dead comparisons 18:22 Cordyceps hive mind and thematic depth 19:25 Real-world fungus behavior influences the show 20:36 Evolution and future zombie threats 21:11 The bloater and missing loot 22:07 Dogs join the battle 22:57 Game of Thrones-style visuals 23:44 Did the infected reach the basements? 24:05 Tommy's potential trauma 25:02 Abby's future arc and cult elements 25:43 More Pedro Pascal via flashbacks 26:22 Seattle and the Wolves setting up 27:02 Frank's thoughts on The Last of Us viewership 27:50 Pedro Pascal fan reactions 28:38 Comparing Ellie and Abby to Maggie and Negan 29:25 Final thoughts on the episode's impact 30:00 Movie of the year chat and Coogler shout-out 31:00 Zombie dogs incoming, wrap-up Key Takeaways: Joel's death was both faithful and emotionally intense, echoing the game and Red Wedding alike. HBO softened Abby's introduction, aiming to create a deeper emotional understanding of her motivations. Ellie's journey is now fully personal, mirroring Abby's loss and fueling the show's core conflict. The show cleverly evolves the infected into a constant threat, avoiding the pitfalls of The Walking Dead. Kaitlyn Dever's performance brought layered complexity to Abby, winning over some skeptical fans. Jackson's siege was visually epic, with medieval tactics meeting modern warfare. The Last of Us continues to blend brutal storytelling with rich worldbuilding and deep character arcs. Quotes: “They earned your emotions. Now you have to follow that through.” – Frank “It just adds this heart-wrenching moment, but it makes it more real.” – Thomas “This is our Glenn moment. We don't know if the show survives it.” – Frank “The hatred Abby feels is now the same thing fueling Ellie—and us.” – Frank “Ellie keeps saying we'll figure it out. That weight is going to stay with her forever.” – Thomas Call to Action: If this episode hit you as hard as it hit us, let us know!

This week, The Filmlosophers are venturing into the blocky world of the big screen with a likely painful discussion of the latest video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie. But the cinematic critique takes a bizarre turn as they address the alarming reports of disruptive behavior erupting in theaters during certain scenes of the film. Plus, they welcome their newest intern, the enthusiastic Intern Jesus, to the team! In this chaotic episode: Minecraft Movie Meltdown: The team will bravely (and perhaps begrudgingly) dissect A Minecraft Movie, analyzing its success (or more likely, its failures) in translating the beloved game to a cinematic experience. Expect discussions on story, visuals, and whether it captures the essence of building and survival. Theater of Terror: Minecraft Mayhem: The Filmlosophers will delve into the strange phenomenon of disruptive behavior during A Minecraft Movie screenings, pontificating on the breakdown of theater decorum and offering their (likely exasperated) thoughts on cinema etiquette. Welcoming Intern Jesus!: The crew introduces their newest intern, Intern Jesus, to the Filmlosophers family! They'll discuss his passion for film, his favorite (and perhaps surprising) guilty pleasure movies, and why his unique perspective makes him a perfect fit for the team. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's a bizarre blend of cinematic disappointment, social commentary on unruly audiences, and the welcoming of a new, divinely named intern. It's going to be a blocky, boisterous, and utterly unique discussion! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's block-tacular episode of The Filmlosophers!

Send us a textWhat happens when a big-budget blockbuster has all the right ingredients but still fails to fully satisfy? That's the puzzle at the heart of our deep dive into 2010's Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, a film that cost hundreds of millions to make but couldn't capture the magic of its video game source material.The conversation kicks off with an examination of Jake Gyllenhaal's bewildering accent and lack of charisma as the titular prince – a critical misstep that creates a void at the center of this action-adventure. "It's the worst accent of any leading man in a movie," we conclude, comparing his performance unfavorably to the natural charm of Brendan Fraser in The Mummy or the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean.The film's salvation arrives about 40 minutes in with Alfred Molina's scene-stealing performance as a tax-evading ostrich racer. His character breathes life into a previously lifeless movie, demonstrating exactly what was missing from the start: humor, heart, and genuine entertainment value. We discuss how supporting characters often make or break these big adventure films, and how Prince of Persia failed to understand this crucial dynamic.We also break down the disappointing direction choices that plague the action sequences – the choppy editing and shaky camerawork that obscure rather than showcase the parkour stunts that made the video games so special. For a franchise known for fluid movement and graceful acrobatics, the film's inability to properly capture these elements represents a fundamental misunderstanding of its appeal.Join us for this entertaining analysis of blockbuster filmmaking gone awry, and why some adventure films become beloved classics while others remain forgotten curiosities.

Amazon Prime tapped Jonathan Nolan to create an adaptation of the video game property Fallout, which largely succeeds in providing and entertaining expansion of the games' world. Originally created by Bioware and followed-up with titles from Bethesda, Fallout portrays a post-apocalyptic Earth with macabre, dark humor and quirky characters, which the show gleefully portrays. The adaptation even managed to "feel" like a video game at times with side quests and bit characters while also channeling the comedy of some of its writers' former shows, such as Portlandia. Nerd Legion enjoyed Fallout and we're excited to see a continuation of the plot twist in season two!

The Mechanophobic Maniacs offer their experience and intellect as they dissect the long-awaited adaptation that has both gamers and cinephiles ready to critique.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Analytic“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” continues to be a box office high scorer. The video game adaptation has crossed the $500 million mark at the global box office, shattering records with the gusto that its title character usually amasses via power-ups. To date, the animated adventure has earned $260.3 million domestically and $248.4 million internationally. That lifts its worldwide haul to $508.7 million. It is now the highest-grossing film of 2023 at both the global and domestic box office, surpassing “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (unlike that movie, people seem to have enjoyed this one). More important, it also makes “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” the biggest video game adaptation in history, topping the grosses of “Warcraft” and “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.” source: ‘Super Mario Bros.

Despite the progressive politics of early zombie films like George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, modern narratives about zombies are often strikingly conservative, displaying a world that rewards rugged individualism and presents a pessimistic view of human nature. The recent HBO drama The Last of Us, based on the acclaimed 2013 video game of the same name, exemplifies this tendency. The show takes place two decades after an outbreak of a zombifying fungal infection triggers global societal collapse. In this post-apocalyptic world, a fascist government violently maintains order within walled-off “quarantine zones,” while a brutal resistance group called the Fireflies strives to overthrow them. The Last of Us follows the cynical smuggler Joel (Pedro Pascal) and a teenager named Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who is immune to the fungus, on their treacherous journey to meet up with a team of Fireflies who believe they can use her to create a vaccine. As Joel and Ellie bond against the backdrop of a dog-eat-dog world where no one can be trusted, the show presents a largely right-wing vision in which the only path to redemption is through caring for one's immediate kin. According to Neil Druckmann—the co-creator of the series as well as the game and its sequel, who spent his early childhood in a West Bank settlement—elements of The Last of Us are informed by the politics of Israel/Palestine. On this week's episode of On the Nose, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel, managing editor Nathan Goldman, fellow Dahlia Krutkovich, and contributor Hazem Fahmy discuss the politics of the show, its relationship to Israel/Palestine, and its evocations of the Holocaust.Note that this episode includes spoilers for the HBO series, as well as the game and its sequel, which will form the basis of future seasons of the show.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).” Articles Mentioned:“‘The Last of Us' Is a Very Conservative Show. Really,” Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times“The Not So Hidden Israeli Politics of ‘The Last of Us Part II,'” Emanuel Maiberg, Vice“The Evolution of Ellie,” Elise Favis, The Washington Post“The Gray Zone,” Primo Levi (from The Drowned and the Saved)“The Last of Us Is Not a Video-Game Adaptation,” Andrea Long Chu, Vulture

On this week's episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) talk about departing NYT film critic A.O. Scott's thoughts on fandom and its effect on the way we talk about movies. Then they review HBO's hit show The Last of Us and ask a very important question: Was Joel right?

'The Last of Us' recorded HBO's second-most watched premiere of the past 13 years, behind only 'Game of Thrones' spin-off 'House of the Dragon.' An adaptation of the 2013 video game of the same title, the $100 million post-apocalyptic zombie drama may just be breaking the video game curse of bad translation from small screen to big screen. What's so different about it? And why are video games the hottest new thing in Hollywood? Emmy award-winning podcast host Jason Concepcion joins the show to share his thoughts. "The technology got to the point where you can make this stuff look good on television. Second, 'Game of Thrones' proved fantasy could really make hay with a television audience in a huge way, in an international way. Maybe with 'The Last of Us' now, you're seeing the same thing with video games." You can follow Jason here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Last Of Us debuted to rave reviews not only from critics but my hardcore fans of the game. It has been called the most accurate adaptation of any video game property yet. So does this mean that other studios might take note and the video game slump might truly be over? Avatar The Way of Water is approaching 2 Billion, The Mandalorian has a new trailer and the Critics Choice Awards are done and does that tell the tale for future awards?
