Just in time for Halloween, we review "Emesis Blue", a full length psychological horror created with Source Filmmaker and utilizing the assets of Team Fortress 2. The fate of the videogame-to-film adaptation is in the ha

We look at an anthology of anime-tinged tales from the HALO universe, with stories ranging from educational to badass to downright silly. Don't worry, fanboys: they're probably not (all) canon. Want more Master Chief mad
This is it, listener. We might have found the single best video game movie we've ever seen or will see. Join us for "Dragon Quest: Your Story", a movie that manages to both adapt a popular entry from the RPG franchise wh
We continue our look at franchise adaptations with "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", a story about heroes fighting to save the planet with the power of love. It clearly has the broad strokes of the franchise in that s
We've heard the argument that video game films are bad because "games focus on the gameplay, not on the plot". That may be true, but video games do offer the player fascinating worlds to explore. So what if you just adap
It took 30 years, but Nintendo has finally forgiven Hollywood for "Super Mario Bros: The Movie (1993)". The titular plumber is back on the silver screen, but does this Mario have what it takes? Can the character that sta
We close out our international tour with "Fatal Frame", a Japanese horror film where a group of students at a Catholic all-girls school truly are lovers in a dangerous time. CONTENT WARNING: suicide, curses, homophobia,

We get more than we bargained for when we review "Oneechanbara" (AKA "Bikini Samurai Squad"), and it's sequel "Oneechanbara: Vortex”. Can scantily-clad heroines save the world from yet another undead apocalypse? Can samu
