About this listen

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!

    Tomb Raider (2018)

    Based on the "survivor trilogy" reboot of the Tomb Raider games, this 2018 movie swaps Angelina Jolie for Alicia Vikander and casts Walton Goggins in the villain role. This adventure sees Lara searching for her missing father who has disappeared on an expedition to uncover the tomb of Himiko, an ancient witch who was rumoured to have power over death itself. Despite a sequel set up the 2018 movie never saw a follow up and has mostly faded from public consciousness. Jamie and Rory invite returning guest Harry McIlroy to join them in trying to work out why that might be.

    Assassin's Creed

    It's one of the most popular videogame franchises of the last twenty years and it's movie adaptation was heralded as potentially being the first movie to break the videogame movie curse. With heavy hitters like Michael Fassbender, Marion Cottilard and Jeremy Irons onboard it certainly seemed like this might be the case...and yet...Assassin's Creed made zero impact on the pop culture and is almost completely forgotten a decade later. In this week's episode we look back at this 2016 movie to see if it deserved its fate or if it deserved better.

    After the first movie was a surprise hit, it's no surprise that Blumhouse greenlit a sequel. Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard both return but this time we add Skeet Ulrich to the cast, marking a long awaited on screen reunion between the two original Scream cast members. Except...well...not quite. This movie is a runaway success just like its predecessor, but what do the VGMP boys think of it?
