This week, Argyle and Jordan joined friends of the show and hosts of Video Games: the Movie: the Podcast Dan and Maxie to discuss Takashi Miike's...very unique 2007 movie that is...based on(?) the video game Yakuza (2005). Essential viewing for any Yakuza fan. Go check out VGTMTP, it's good! Argyle | Jordan Dan | Maxie Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast
This month's movie is Ryu Ga Gotoku! It's the Yakuza movie! It's kind of insane, it's kind of Pulp Fiction, it's kind of mostly about a couple of of teen robbers. It sure does have Goro Majima though! Not to mention CG helicopters, daip'd up Nishiki, and Kazama! Dan's Rating: 4/5 Movie 1.5/5 Adaptation Maxie's Rating: ?/?

This month's movie is Takasi Miike's 2012 Ace Attorney Film! Joining us are Takashi Miike fan Gigalithic and Ace Attorney fan Elliott! Between the two two of them we ended having a lot to say about this film, which frankly is probably the best movie we're ever going to watch on here. Everyone's Rating: 5/5 Film 5/5 Adaptation Next Month: Ryu Ga Gotoku (AKA The Yakuza Movie) Twitter | Discord Dan | Maxie | Gigalithic | Elliott
This month's movie is Uwe Boll's Alone in The Dark! This movie has a reputation of being "the worst film of all time". This was likely hyperbole from 00s gamers, but that doesn't mean the movie couldn't stand to do a lot better. The movie wants to be 5 different genres, none of which fit with the game, and the opening text crawl needlessly explains all the plot twists before it can even start. Rest in piss, Lowtax.

This month's movie is Resident Evil! Resident Evil film expert Morgan joins us to discuss another classic Paul W.S. Anderson film, the lost legacy of mall chain stores, and what happens when you feed a computer 2000 hours of kids youtube.

This month's movie is Mortal Kombat (1995)! This is probably the best one since our first episode. An overall decent martial arts film that takes a considerable amount of effort in having the most amount of violence permissible in a PG-13 film. Reptile looks like a cereal mascot, Kitana gives Liu Kang adventure game hints, and Art Lean dies for our sins.

This was kind of a nothing movie. Most conflict is set aside, immediately resolved, or forgotten. Lucario's in it, though! And lots of other pokemon! Maxie's rating: 1/3 Adaptation 1/26 Quality Dan's rating: 1/5 Adaptation 2/5 Quality Next month: Mortal Kombat (1995) Twitter | Discord Dan | Maxie
For July we discuss the infamous Street Fighter movie! Unlike Super Mario Bros, this movie deserves its hate! Jean Claude Van Damme was paid 8 million dollars to be the worst character in the movie! Raul Julia spent the last months of his life giving his all as M. Bison! And most everyone else has managed to have a decent acting career despite being in this travesty! Is this movie fascist? Kinda! Our rating: 1/5 Adaptation 2/5 Film Next Month: Pokemon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew Twitter | Discord Dan | Maxie
This month we celebrate Sonic's 30th anniversary with the Sonic OVA! This movie's got a lot going aesthetically, but gets a little incomprehensible and the plot eventually just devolves into DBZ fights. We also discuss e3, borderlands film news, and the Morton-Jenkel Cut.

In our inaugural episode, we discuss the ur-video game movie, Super Mario Bros! This movie is actually pretty good! Not perfect, but definitely good. Mario needs to trust the fungus, Luigi needs to learn to plumb, and Big Bertha needs more screentime.
