Podcasts about video game movies

You probably thought we forgot the hedgehog beat! We were just biding our time. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race, SONIC. We welcome our returning Senior Hedgehog Correspondent, Jamelle Bouie, who absolutely does not have anything more important to do than extend this bit, to discuss Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Why does a movie about a fast hedgehog have this much plot, and why is it all so boilerplate? We get into it.

This week Hans Gougar joins to discuss the current state of video game adaptations in Hollywood. Between Nintendo's collaborations with Sony Pictures and Universal, to television like Fallout & The Last of Us, the hottest trend in cinema right now is adapting your favorite game to the silver (or small) screen. In what ways is this similar to the superhero Marvel Studios-led gold rush, and what lessons can Hollywood learn from the last 5 years of superhero fatigue? We break it all down. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond leaving Xbox, Sony closing down Playstation studio Bluepoint, the Supreme Court overturning Trump's tariffs, Pokemon Leaf Green and Fire Red coming to Switch and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

On this episode the boys run down some of the best/worst video game movies of all time. Enjoy.

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) take a look at a variety of video game related movies we've seen over the course of the podcast's lifetime and decide to see which films are the best of the best.

Few video game adaptations truly understand the source material — Silent Hill (2006) is one of the rare exceptions.This week on ClassHorrorCast, we descend into the fog to explore why Christophe Gans' Silent Hill has not only endured, but evolved into the gold standard for video game horror adaptations.We break down the film's deep lore, hidden meanings, and symbolic imagery, unpacking how the movie translates the unsettling psychology and atmosphere of the games to the big screen.We dig into the film's pre-production, the writing process, and the major creative choices that reshaped the games' narrative for cinema including what was changed, what was preserved, and why those decisions ultimately worked.From its commitment to practical effects and creature design to its oppressive soundscape and world-building, we examine how Silent Hill achieved an authenticity most adaptations never attempt. Finally, we discuss why the film has aged so well, how its reputation has grown over time, and why it continues to be cited as the strongest argument for the greatest video game adaptation of all time.Turn up the volume. The siren is calling.For more content - CLICK HEREBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

In the penultimate Press Play, the Beefcheek Bros look back at the forgettable action-flick, Hitman (2007, surprisingly). It's a bullet-storm of bald heads and bad movie moments, that's a far cry from the classic steath-based video game series. Collateral damage? Almost certainly.

It's such a joy to introduce everyone to my delightfully knowledgeable work buddy Pat King (aka PK), who's a veteran bookseller at Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale, AZ. One of our most beloved employees with decades of experience, PK is a Book Ninja, in that you can walk in, tell him what you're interested in or the kind of stuff you like & he'll find you your new favorite read. This week, I brought him on to discuss another one of his passions beyond Science Fiction & Horror. As a video game enthusiast & collector, PK is the perfect person to inject the pod (& this heavy year) with a little bit of nostalgia. Sharing our early memories of our first video game systems & favorite games, we move on to discuss the film adaptations of LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER (2001), the first RESIDENT EVIL film (2002), SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (2020), & the recent animated SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE (2023).Originally Posted on Patreon (10/14/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/141220694Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fiTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

A new Silent Hill game has just come out and a new Silent Hill movie is on the way. This seemed like a good time for me to team up with Monica and Dan and revisit the first film. Is this the scariest video game movie ever made? Watch and find out!https://youtu.be/e2cD0TAIrrchttps://rumble.com/v6zz20e-is-silent-hill-the-scariest-video-game-movie-hack-the-movies.html

Two hosts. One cursed genre. We're back from hiatus and diving headfirst into Street Fighter—the messy past, the chaotic present, and the narrow path where a live-action adaptation might actually work. We start with Raúl Juliá's legendary M. Bison, a masterclass in villainy that shows how one serious performance can anchor an otherwise bonkers movie. From there we map the game-to-film curse: cramming 200 hours of world and choice into 120 minutes, inventing bland protagonists, killing fan favorites you'll need next time, and mistaking “gritty” for “good.”So what would it take to make Street Fighter land in 2026? We make the case for a bold, colorful tone that looks like the game you remember, a tournament that actually feels like a tournament (with an audience and rules), and a clean narrative spine built around Ryu and Ken's estrangement colliding with Chun-Li and Guile's revenge lines. We argue for Bison as a manipulative, modern dictator rather than a gym poster, and for Akuma as a shadowy pressure system instead of a homework dump. Along the way we debate the new cast, where stunt casting helps or hurts, and why choreography and silhouette should outrank marquee names. Sonic and Mario thrived when they embraced cartoon logic; Speed Racer was early but right. It's time to let video game movies be gloriously unreal—and ruthlessly coherent.If you care about tournaments that make sense, fights you can actually read, and characters who don't vanish in service of cameos, this conversation's for you. Tap play, tell us your dream Ryu/Ken/Chun-Li, and share the episode with the friend who still quotes “it was Tuesday.” And if you're new here, hit follow, drop a review, and stick around—we've got more heavy hitters on deck.Thanks for listening; If you feel like supporting us, this is where you do that!Patreon (Just a buck to show your support!)BuyMeACoffee Check out or other content/socials here.

In this quick update, we break down the latest Resident Evil film casting news and why it matters for the franchise. We cover Zach Cherry (Severance) and Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country) joining the lineup alongside Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, and Johnno Wilson. We dig into why Reis feels built for this world, what Zach Cregger brings as a horror director, and why a brand-new story set in the game universe might be the right move for the big screen.00:00 Casting update and who's joined the film00:08 Why Kali Reis is the standout choice for this universe00:18 Director spotlight on Zach Cregger and his horror chops00:24 New story in the Resident Evil world vs retelling the games00:30 Hopes for set photos and early on-set vibes00:34 Final thoughts and what we'll watch for nextKali Reis brings a physical, grounded presence that fits the survival horror tone.Zach Cregger's track record in horror points to a sharper, more atmospheric Resident Evil.The film won't retell a specific game plot. A new story in the same universe gives the creative team room to surprise fans.Early production updates and set photos will be key to understanding the tone and visual style.“She feels like a video game character. I think she's going to destroy any zombie that gets in her way.”“It's not retelling any of the games. It's a new story set in the world of the games.”“I'm so desperate for a good Resident Evil movie.

Helldivers 2 has unleashed its biggest update yet, and we're diving deep into the Gloom. The "Into the Unjust" expansion brings underground caves, terrifying new enemies like the fire-breathing Bug Dragon, and a full-scale Xbox launch with Halo ODST gear. Is this the best update yet? But that's not all we're breaking down this week. We're tackling the Jack Black effect: is his comedy the magic ingredient for video game movies after Mario and Minecraft, or did it completely miss the mark for Borderlands' Clap Trap? We debate the fine line between adaptation and homogenization. Plus, major leaks for Valve's Project Fremont suggest a powerful new Steam Console is on the way, and we have the specs and price predictions. And in a shocking comeback, Hardspace: Shipbreaker has been saved from the scrapyard—its developers have reclaimed the IP and are working on NEW projects. The future of ship-breaking is bright.

Was 1994's Street Fighter movie a glorious masterpiece or a total disaster? The answer is YES. In this episode, we defend our claim that it's the ultimate "so bad it's good" video game movie adaptation ever made. We're breaking down why this cinematic chaos works, focusing on the legendary, scene-chewing performance from Raul Julia as M. Bison, who famously took the role for his kids and elevated the entire film into a cult classic. We also dive into the infamous behind-the-scenes drama, including Jean-Claude Van Damme's reported $10,000-a-week cocaine habit that brought production to a halt. It's a fun, nostalgic trip back to a time when video game movies were wonderfully weird. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore the madness of Street Fighter!

Frank is joined by Aaron from Fandom Portals to revisit 2021's Mortal Kombat reboot and dig into everything from fight choreography to character arcs and deeper themes. They discuss how the film hit differently as a post-lockdown release, the smart (and messy) choices around Cole Young, and what to expect from Mortal Kombat 2. Plus, they highlight standout performances, favorite fights, and how the film balances brutal action with just the right amount of absurdity. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Introduction and guest spotlight: Aaron from Fandom Portals 02:00 What Fandom Portals is all about and their most interesting guests 04:59 Why Mortal Kombat was the pick for this episode 07:13 Two-minute rundown of the 2021 film 09:38 Remembering Mortal Kombat's unique place during the pandemic 13:04 The planned trilogy and where the story is headed 14:00 Our first memories playing Mortal Kombat 16:00 Favorite characters and button-mashing nostalgia 18:00 Comedy and fatalities: Finding the right tone 20:03 Breaking down Arcana and how it enhances the story 25:12 Character depth: Cole, Raiden, and Sub-Zero's arcs 30:00 Legacy, trauma, and family themes in Mortal Kombat 32:00 Highlight performances: Jessica McNamee and Josh Lawson 38:11 Martial arts authenticity and cultural details 41:15 The final fight: Scorpion and Cole vs Sub-Zero 43:00 Sonya vs Kano: Underdogs, traps, and laser chaos 46:00 Talking stereotypes and what modern adaptations can improve 48:00 The score: Hits, misses, and video game influence Key Takeaways: Mortal Kombat landed during the pandemic as a fun, communal theater experience. The new Arcana system brought purpose and emotional weight to the characters' powers. Kano's over-the-top personality worked thanks to Josh Lawson's fully committed performance. Scorpion and Sub-Zero's rivalry represents generational trauma, vengeance, and redemption. The fights were creative and often layered with emotional or thematic stakes. The film's costume and stunt work add more depth than it gets credit for. The score was ambitious but sometimes pulled focus away from the action. Quotes: “You don't need a perfect movie to have a meaningful one—and this gave us something to rally around.” “Sub-Zero was cool. Literally. He was the kid-you-didn't-let-your-brothers-pick fighter.” “Kano's the guy you roll your eyes at and still want to grab a beer with.” “The deeper themes are there if you want them—generational pain, redemption, and honoring legacy.” Call to Action: Like what you heard?
