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.
Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm

The Italian Job (2003)
We're hopping back into our Mini Coopers for another turn at THE ITALIAN JOB! This time, we're looking at the vastly different 2003 heist movie, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton and a standout supporting cast! This remake has a very different energy than the cheeky original, but is it still fun? We'll find out before diving into the 2003 Xbox game featuring plenty of Mini racing action!

Vin Diesel is: xXx
Our unplanned Vin Diesel marathon continues as we visit our latest Justin's Choice: xXx! This 2002 spy thriller tried to disrupt Bond's spy supremacy with an X-treme sports superstar, and it's every bit as goofy and dated as it sounds. We're talking about the film, then looking at the GBA-exclusive game, which is weirdly a soft remake of... LILO & STITCH?
