Welcome to our 12th episode, "Gaming to Hollywood," where we explore the intersection of video games and movies. In this episode, we'll be discussing the ups and downs of video game adaptations and the challenges they face in the transition from the gaming world to the big screen.

This episode was inspired by the recent success of "The Last of Us" HBOMax adaptation, which is currently being released. We kick off with the originator of them all, the 1993 classic, "Super Mario Bros." This film was met with mixed reviews but has since become a cult classic. Despite its critical reception, it remains a prime example of how a video game adaptation can go wrong. As we continue to discover.
And finally, we'll have a brief update on the latest Hollywood news, including upcoming adaptations and projects in development. Whether you're a fan of video games or movies, or both, you won't want to miss this episode of "Gaming to Hollywood."

Egads! After barely surviving the surprise movie theme game from Episode 13, Scott challenged Bill with a harder game. But did Bill chump Scott in the end?
Oh, so maybe you hate games. Don't worry, we still had time to cover the news as usual, with plenty of laughs and hijinks along the way.

In this episode of DYHAT, we discover Australia's Great Emu War, which is a real thing. Brother Steve stops by with a surprise game—it's a fun one! We also touch on topics like hidden tracks on CDs from 90s bands, Van Halen’s secret singer, and the announcement of George Romero’s 'Twilight of the Dead.'
It’s emus, rock scandals, cartoon chaos, and a reminder that time comes for us all—except the emus, apparently.
