TRIGGER WARNING: This movie and subsequently our conversation about it, touches upon themes that some people may find extremely disturbing.
This is a difficult episode that, truth be told, we might have been better scrapping all together. Kung-Fu Master! is the only videogame movie so far to be deemed worthy of special release by The Criterion Collection, though upon watching it we discovered that it's ties to said videogame are very minimal.
Instead this French movie explores the burgeoning romantic relationship between an adult mother and a teenage boy who is friends with her daughter. It's a difficult film to watch and one we found it particularly difficult to talk about. Please be aware that the subject matter may be disturbing for some people.

How exactly do you turn a fighting game franchise most known for it's implementation of....and we're not kidding here..."jiggle physics" (TM) into a blockbuster action movie? Well, somebody tried it, and since they did, Jamie & Rory had to watch it.

The late 1980s saw videogame media making its first steps into the realm of film and television and usually the results were, at best, ill conceived. Like this show featuring former wrestler Lou Albano as Mario in live action segments interspersed between an animated cartoon. Various celebrities of the time guest star but the show is perhaps best remembered for its pseudo-rap opening theme set to the original theme of the game!

Loosely based on a true story; Gran Turismo tells the story of an outside-the-box marketing expert, a washed up race car driver and a teenager from the UK with big dreams who come together to try and pull off the ultimate brand cross over. To turn an adept player of Sony's Gran Turismo game (sorry, I mean "driving simulator") in a real life race car driver.

We're continuing to release our classic episodes and this one was certainly an odd one. Poor Rory fell ill one week and couldn't record and so Jamie decided to grab a mic and record thoughts on this strange piece of Resident Evil content that Capcom released alongside limited editions of Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X. Shining some light on the actions of the series signature villain Albert Wesker, is there's anything in Wesker's Report that is still worth seeing in 2024?

Jamie & Rory return to the Pokémon franchise as they review this Hollywood offering. Starring Deadpool (I mean, Ryan Reynolds) as Pikachu, Detective Pikachu was positively received on release but doesn't seem to have made an impact long term. Does it hold up a few years later?

It's being decried as one of the worst movies of all time, reviving the long established "videogame movie curse" and some have even said it feels like an Uwe Boll film. So the question becomes; is Borderlands really as bad as everybody says it is? Joined by special guests, Jamie and Rory take a look at this hot new release to decide if the negative reaction is undeserved or if Borderlands really deserves to be consigned to the trash heap.

This one is a blast from the past! From the early days of VGMP when we were still recording sharing one very cheap microphone in Jamie's noisy front room. Chill out with this freshly polished re-release as Jamie and Rory discuss 90s technothriller Hackers. A dive into hacking subculture that appears to have been made by somebody as far removed from said subculture as possible. Rory has a soft spot for this one but will Jamie see its charms?

Based on the popular 1990s series of PC games, this science-fiction thriller stars 90s favourites Freddie Prinze Jr and Matthew Lillard in a story that feels like a mash-up of Top Gun and Starship Troopers. However, the film seems to be focusing its attention in the wrong areas. Tune in to this episode as Jamie and Rory discuss where the film goes wrong and how it could be fixed.

In this week's DLC edition of VGMP, the boys look at this odd little promotional film that was released alongside Grand Theft Auto 2. Essentially a music video packed full of that late 90s quick cutting, headache inducing visual style.

DIC return to the podcast this week with another of their Saturday morning cartoons based on a videogame. This time around it's Captain N: The Game Master, a giant Nintendo commercial featuring appearances from all of the iconic Nintendo characters such as Mega Man, Kid Icarus, Simon Belmont and Super Ma-...oh, wait, what's that? Mario isn't in this? They didn't even get Luigi? Oh. What are we doing here then?
