Special guests Ben The Movie Buff and Michael Andrew join us this week to tackle the tricky subject of movies adapted from video games.

Super Mario Bros. Warcraft. Resident Evil. Angry Birds. Why have so many movies based on video games turned out so badly? Is it simply impossible to adapt immersive, interactive experiences into a movie? What do the most famous (or rather imfamous) video game movies have in common?

Music and audio from "Super Mario Bros." is the property of Alan Silvestri, Jake Eberts, Roland Joffe, Hollywood Pictures, Lightmotive, Allied Filmmakers, and Cinergi Pictures. 

Music and audio from "Free Guy" is the property of Christophe Beck, Ryan Reynolds, Greg Berlanti, Shawn Levy, Sarah Schechter, Adam Kolbrener, Maximum Effort, 21 Laps Entertainment, Berlanti Productions, 21 Laps Entertainment, TSG Entertainment, and Lit Entertainment Group.
