This is the podcast about movies, videogames, and the sparks that fly when those worlds collide! Each week, Steve Guntli, Jennifer Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm will watch a movie and then play the video game based on that movie to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, similarities, and differences between the two mediums to see how they complement, or contradict, each other!

Your wish is our command! ALADDIN has become one of our most requested episodes, because it's one of the rare films that not only has a great game adaptation, it has TWO. Between the classic1992 film and the two games, we've got a lot of ground to cover, so we've invited actors and writers John Gholson and Bryan "Lubu" Roberts to join us to discuss the film and finally give a definitive ruling on the age-old debate: SNES or Genesis?

CinemArcade - Cars 2 (with Hannah Mattes)
play

11/15/24 • 60 min

Mater takes center stage this week for the oft-maligned spy parody CARS 2! While critics at the time may have relegated this to the bottom of the Pixar heap, the film may have finally found it's audience. It certainly has with our guest, certified CARS 2 superfan Hannah Mattes, who joins us to debate the finer points of this detour from the CARS formula. Then, we're playing the PS3/360 era game adaptation, a sprightly and fun action racer with a wide range of playable characters.

This week, we're learning to be afraid of the dark with the 2000 sci-fi action thriller PITCH BLACK! A breakout film for Vin Diesel, it's also become his favorite franchise, and he's been keeping the Richard B. Riddick torch burning across sequels, animated films, and of course video games. JC Chavez joins us to talk about the film and it's prequel, the Xbox classic CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK: ESCAPE FROM BUTCHER BAY, which sought to set a new benchmark for movie-based games.

CinemArcade - Friday the 13th (with Mickey May)
play

09/13/24 • 83 min

Ki ki ki, ma ma ma...

That sound can only mean one thing: Jason's back in town! Or he will be at least, because this week we're talking about the original FRIDAY THE 13th, the slasher sensation that would spawn one of the most indelible horror icons on the 20th century. Austin improv great Mickey May joins us as we take a deep-dive into 1980 classic and it's sequels, before diving in to two of our most notable game adaptations yet: the infamous 1989 NES version, and the not-long-for-this-world 2017 asymmetrical slasher!

How do we even begin to talk about STAR WARS? The massive, life-altering, cinema-changing, genre-defying epic masterpiece has gone beyond a mere fandom: it's an entire economy, an obsession, even a religion. We're going to attempt to capture all of our complex feelings about the series over the next three weeks, and we're starting with the original 1977 classic, STAR WARS! The great Tate Chitwood joins us as we nerd out over the George Lucas film and several of it's game adaptations, including SUPER STAR WARS!

Pup, pup and away!

This week we're looking at our most recent movie, the 2022 animated riff on the DC universe, LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS! Featuring a ridiculously stacked cast and a surprising fidelity to DC lore, the film is a fun if derivative riff on hits like SECRET LIFE OF PETS, only with superheroes. We're talking about the film and it's recent game adaptation, THE ADVENTURES OF ACE AND KRYPTO, while battling our greatest nemesis yet: COVID!

CinemArcade - The Thing (with Keith Charba)

10/04/24 • 99 min

This week, a podcast is the warmest place to hide...

We're kicking off a full month of horror movies and games, and we're starting with an absolute banger: John Carpenter's THE THING! Carpenter's film was looked at as a career killer when it debuted in 1982, but it's grown in estimation over the years and is now considered one of the canonical great horror films. We're joined by special guest Keith Charba as we discuss the groundbreaking movie, as well as the surprisingly innovative 2002 Xbox game adaptation.

We feel the need... the need for speed. This week, we're discussing a crucial piece of 80's iconography, the film that made Tom Cruise a megastar and sent everyone on a highway to the danger zone, TOP GUN! This hyper-masculine megahit may have a head full of rocks but it's undeniably great entertainment; can the same be said about the NES game adaptations, or are those better left grounded?

Joe Dante returns to tiny terror territory with 1998's SMALL SOLDIERS! The director of GREMLINS tries to recapture the dark comedy magic of his original hit, and if this film isn't quite of that tier, it's still a fun little romp. We're talking about the star-studded film, and then looking at the attempted launch of a SMALL SOLDIERS gaming franchise that came and went in the span of a year.
