VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast
Media & Entertainment Podcasts
Movie adaptations of videogames have a fairly infamous reputation for being...well, let's be honest, terrible. But surely an entire genre can't be written off? Of the hundreds made so far, there must be a few good ones, right? Join hosts Jamie and Rory as they suffer through the seemingly endless sea of bad videogame movies in search of the few diamonds in the rough. There will be laughs, tears (mostly from Jamie) and nerdy details nobody could possibly care about!
Let us suffer through these terrible movies, so you don't have to!

VGMP Retro: Postal
3/16/2024
Uwe Boll once described Postal as "the most important film" in his back catalogue. We still can't figure out why. Strap yourselves in and enter the Boll-verse with Jamie and Rory as they review what must surely be one of the most ill conceived and outright offensive movies of all time. Surely?

VGMP Retro: Sega Hard Girls
3/2/2024
We've got another re-upload from the vault this week and it is one of the strangest episodes we have EVER done on the show! Sega Hard Girls is a surreal, nightmarish blend of candy-coated colours, hardcore fanboy-ism and a passion for Sega hardware which, quite frankly, borders on illegal. It's safe to say that our hosts had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they sat down to watch Sega Hard Girls and truly, neither do you. You've been warned.

VGMP Retro: Stay Alive
2/17/2024
Revisit our second ever episode of VGMP with this freshly polished re-release! Stay Alive is a 2006 horror movie that essentially takes A Nightmare On Elm Street's "if you die in the dream you die for real" logic and copy-pastes it over to videogames! Featuring one of the McPoyle twins from Always Sunny and Malcolm of Malcolm In The Middle fame, is there any chance this movie will be any good?

For their first new release since moving to the Impala Network, Jamie and Rory are taking a look at Adam Sandler-helmed dud "Pixels", you know, the movie where Kevin James plays the President of the United States, which somehow doesn't feel quite as far fetched these days. The boys are divided on this one which makes for an interesting episode (you can probably guess which one likes the film and which one doesn't). As a special bonus the boys also begin the episode by taking a brief look at the original 2010 short film which inspired the Hollywood adaptation!
