Videogame movie adaptations have a fairly notorious track record of being awful wastes of time; and we would be inclined to agree with you, in fact this episode mostly smack talks them. However we do give you some recommendations on examples of good video game movies, as well as suggesting our own on top of figuring out why they just don't work at all.
And just like that, first year is over! Hosting the last two seasons has been a blast, thank you for bearing with us as we learned to podcast. We will be back in September for an all-new and exciting season. Between new houses, the hopeful return to in-person learning, and much much more, it's going to be a good one. But for now, let's look back on the last 9 months. We hope you have a restful summer!

So we found a terrible, rubbish British crime caper that we decided to give an hour long deconstruction.
We don't recomend you watch the movie Original Gangster, but we certainly can't stop you from doing so. Just a word of warning; it will cause physical pain and a hatred for the cockney accent.

Since the dawn of time one question has been asked: Do you read Sutter Cane?
Well The Thing is, that aforementioned Prince of Darkness is actually a fictional character from the film In The Mouth of Madness so it is impossible to have read his works.
Puns aside, this episode is all about John Carpenter's thematic trilogy known as 'The Apocalypse Trilogy'; which consists of The Thing, Prince of Darkness and In The Mouth of Madness. All linked by the narrative idea of the world ending as we know it via some spooky happenings of supernatural of extra terrestrial origins

We're back again to invade your earholes with some chat about the cinema, and speaking of invasions (although of a more extra-terrestrial variety) the boys this time will be delving into some of those sci-fi movies that are profound, arty, weird and all around not what you expect to see from the likes of Star Wars. With musings on what makes a sci-fi film specifically an arthouse sci-fi movie, some top picks which range from disturbing Japanese body-horror to Sam Rockwell living on the moon, as well some discussion on the films which just get it a bit wrong.
So set those phasers to fun (you can't imagine how much I hate myself for righting that bit) and get ready to once again savor A Good Bit of Kino.
