Resident Evil Apocalypse (2004) Reaction and Review! | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 14
After a short break, we are back to VGMH! And who better to welcome us back than Milla Jovovich and her apparently very horny husband Paul W.S. Anderson with the second (of 6!) Resident Evil movies! We had fun with this one too, but it doesn't quite match the campiness of the original and takes itself a tad too seriously. Still, a good ole scarifying hoot!

Fallout TV Series Spoilercast (Audio Only) | Super Fans Talk, Deep Lore Discussion
Jess and Nirav are taking a break from video game movies to talk about... a video game TV Show. Luckily, it may just be the best one yet! Nirav is one of the biggest Fallout fans out there, so he's got a lot of anecdotes in this one. This is our spoilercast review and discussion, full of deep lore that you don't know, understand, or care about from the Fallout franchise!

House of the Dead (2003) Movie Reaction! | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 12
This week we're joined by Ryan Blankenbaker, confirmed gamer, to dive into the first of many Uwe Boll films on our list with House of the Dead! This was a certified good bad movie that we had a blast watching. The fact that it nearly caused Nirav to have an actual seizure is balanced out by the topless SEGA-branded party on a remote island off the northwestern coast.

Resident Evil (2001) Reaction and Review! | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 11
We finally begin our journey into Paul W.S. Anderson and Mila Jovovich's thinly veiled sex fantasies put to the big screen! The gang dives in 2002's Resident Evil, and if you can't figure out how long it takes to turn into a zombie, don't worry, we can't either. We had a pretty good time with this one, and man that hallway laser scene is *chef's kiss*.

Tomb Raider (2001) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 10
Starring Angelina Jolie's taut thighs, a fighting robot that should probably be the one doing the tomb raiding, and an IT guy who lives in the backyard and is NOT allowed in the house, it's 2001's Tomb Raider! We enjoyed this one decently, with fun set pieces and dumb plot devices, and Jolie isn't half bad as Lara Croft. Join us!

Pokemon The Third Movie (2001) Reaction! | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 9
Well, then, I AM ENTEI! RAARRRRR! We were pleasantly surprised with Pokemon the Third Movie: Spell of the Unown, especially when compared to other 2001 animated films and previous video game adaptations. Excellent animation, colors, art direction, and an incredible soundtrack highlight this good enough story about a little girl losing her father. Check it out now!

Pokemon 2000 Reaction! | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 8
You ever been brave enough to make a movie that has the year it was released as part of the title? We again had a good time with Pokemon's second theatrical release, and while the story was a bit cheesy, good humor, good animation, and great music really carry the film.

Pokemon The First Movie (1999) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 7
Nirav is maybe the world's biggest Pokemon fan and was worried this one wouldn't hold up to his memories of opening night at the theater, but luckily Pokemon The First Movie proved to be a good time with a few poignant themes and some solid animation. Also we watched it with the wrong subtitles so that was a ride. Two movies for the price of one!

Wing Commander (1999) Reaction | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 6
As much as we enjoyed seeing Freddie Prince Jr. and Matthew Lillard in this spiritual prequel to the live action Scooby Doo movie, it wasn't super interesting. But we did get very hype about the cat people! Until we saw them. I think this one passed the Bechdel test tho, so, we're moving up!

Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997) Reaction | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 5
FATALITY! As much as we loved the first Mortal Kombat film, this one lacks the heart and enthusiasm of its predecessor and makes several casting changes for the worse. Ultimately, MK Annihilation is more of a time capsule of terrible 90s action movies than a reflection of Mortal Kombat.

Luigi's Island: Love is a Highway | Good Games Inc #10
So, maybe it was in the moment, but we got a little carried away. Nirav, Jess, and Kate cordially invite you to a special episode of Good Games Inc, where we take your submissions for game ideas and turn them real! In the cold light of day, it sort of brings into stark relief that maybe we went too far on this one. Did we make a game where Luigi goes on a reality show and then f*cks cars and then drives around in them? Yes. But please officer, don't worry, the cars are all alive and can feel everything, no need to worry.

This week, Nirav is joined by local Nopons Patrick and Tim to dive into the expansive development and legacy of Nintendo's critical darling JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles! Join us as we make a giant 3D model of a big guy and live on him, and then question if we are indeed man or machine. We cover the grating development cycle of MonolithSoft's breakout game and how the perfect meeting of the minds saw the birth of one of the best RPGs of all time. I'm really feeling it!
