We're in the 3rd week of Video Game Movie Month possible TM. This week we decided to mix it up a little bit and instead of talking about a movie based on an actual video game IP we decided to cover a horror movie that revolves around the horror of video games, STAY ALIVE.Before we talk Stay Alive though there's a short film that we need to talk about. As this episode was recorded as a get ahead episode we didn't have access to all the best trailers of week, so we figured that we could talk a short film. After watching the movie Becky (not covered on the podcast) Josh discovered the directors had directed a short film by the name of BOOB. How do you not watch that? Make sure to catch that on Veimo before you listen to this episode.We did talk one trailer though. The Outlaw Johnny Black by the creative team of Black Dynamite. We talk whether or not it can live up to quality that came from their previous endeavor.Most important of all we're here to tell you whether or not Stay Alive is... A BLOODY GOOD FILM!?We encourage everyone to watch along while you listen and make sure to comment and let us know what you think. If you haven't already please follow us on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram @bloodygoodfilmpodcast and remember...Keep it bloody buddies!!!.....#stayalive #videogames #frankiemuniz #malcominthemiddle #MoviePodcast #Film #Movie #Movies #Action #Horror #ActionFilm #ActionMovie #ActionMovies #HorrorFilm #HorrorFilms #HorrorMovie #HorrorMovies #ActionPodcast #HorrorPodcast #Slasher #80s #80sHorror #NewPodcast

In the final installment of Catching Up On Cinema's Video Game Movie Month, Kyle and Trevor once again invite Kyle's brother Nik to assist them in reviewing John R. Leonetti's, Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997)! Featuring Robin Shou and Talisa Soto as the only 2 returning cast members from the first film, MK Annihilation is a lackluster sequel that utterly fails to measure up to the charm and visual flair of the original. Overstuffed with lazy and inaccurate renditions of the franchises' core characters, the film is perhaps most noteworthy for it's meme worthy, cringe inducing dialogue, and absolutely horrendous (and overutilized) CGI character animation. Good for a laugh with friends, the film is otherwise without value outside of serving as an early showcase for the talents of future stunt kings Ray Park and JJ Perry.

In this installment of Catching Up On Cinema's Video Game Movie Month, Kyle and Trevor are joined by SteampunkLink and Emmy Zero from the SNEScapades podcast in reviewing Super Mario Bros. (1993)! Directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, the film is the first live-action video game feature film. A historically troubled production, resulting in most of the cast and crew having nothing but awful things to say about the directors, the film is (unsurprisingly) a grossly uneven experience from start to finish. With solid sets and production design, as well as state of the art morphing effects and animatronic puppetry, the film occasionally springs to life on a purely visual level, but ultimately fails to engage.

In this week's installment of Catching Up On Cinema's Video Game Movie Month, Kyle and Trevor are once again joined by Matt in reviewing Steven E. de Souza's Street Fighter (1994)! An energetic, albeit loose; adaptation of the wildly popular Capcom fighting game series, the film often bears a stronger resemblance to Hasbro's G.I. Joe franchise rather than it's source material. A fairly handsome and surprisingly well structured film in spite of a producer's mandate requiring all 16(!) of the playable characters from the game being featured in it, the movie's legacy finds it resting securely in the "not bad" category of video game films. Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his box office appeal (and cocaine habit), and Raul Julia, in his final performance before his untimely death, the film ultimately serves as a poor exhibition of the former's talents, and a memorable and bombastic farewell for the latter.

January 2021 is "Video Game Movie Month" at Catching Up On Cinema! First up this month, Kyle and Trevor are joined by Orion in reviewing Christophe Gans', Silent Hill (2006)! A passion project for the French director, the film is a live-action adaptation of the Konami video game series of the same name. Featuring cinematography, design elements, and even music lifted directly from many of the games, the film is a rare example of a video game movie that goes to great lengths to remain true to its source material.

For the month of May, we’re kicking off Video Game Movie Month, where every week we take on a new film adaptation of a video game! This week, we (along with guest Ryan Bond) wrap up Video Game Movie Month with the infamous film Super Mario Bros. The Movie! A completely wackadoo adaptation of the Nintendo game series featuring everyone's favorite plumbers, this film sees Mario (Bob Hoskins) and Luigi (John Leguizamo) becoming lost in a Blade Runner-esque dystopian dimension full of weird fungus, goth-club fashion and trolley/snowplow cars. Lost in a strange middle ground between campy fun and dark/gritty treatment of the material, the film simply doesn't know what to do with itself, and its behind-the-scenes drama is a good enough story on its own. Listen to us dive into this pile of crap with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!

This one’s a bit different, as it’s not so much a video game adaptation as it is a tie-in for a failed Atari video game from the’80s, but we still think it counts. Young Davey (ET’s Henry Thomas) immerses himself in the imaginary world of Cloak and Dagger, only to find himself dealing with a real superspy threat with the help of imaginary hero/dad-figure Jack Flack (Dabney Coleman).

This week, we head into space with House-guest Nick Ostrem to talk about the 1999 space-sim adaptation Wing Commander! Based on the 90s space dogfight games of the same name, the film follows the fight to win a deadly future space war between the humans and the Kilrathi, a race of space cats so deadly they live in dense green fog to hide the shoddiness of their rubber suits. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard play newbie space fighter jocks who must get the job done amongst an international cast who is really too good for the cliched material they are given. Still, there's a strange earnest charm to the film that helps you through it, along with its slightly creative production design and incredibly standout score.
