DOOM (2005) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 16 51:42

9d ago51:42

51:42

Finally we've reached the infamous DOOM movie starring Karl Urban and The Rock, and boy howdy is it a doozie. While some of the action was good and Karl Urban tries to put in a good performance, the movie mostly falls flat due to writing and pacing issues. But the first-person shooter sequence is actually cinematic gold. Rip and tear until it is wa…

Alone in the Dark (2005) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 15 43:51

23d ago43:51

43:51

More like Alone in the Dork, amirite fam? Uwe Boll is back, and this time he's teamed up with American Treasure Tara Reid to bring us something so underwhelming I can't even be bothered to describe it to you. Not even loosely based on the game Alone in the Dark, join us as Christian Slater and friends basically spend their entire careers disturbing…

Resident Evil Apocalypse (2004) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 14 36:11

36:11

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 scarifyi…

Fallout TV Series Spoilercast (Audio Only) | Super Fans Talk, Deep Lore Discussion 1:12:43

1:12:43

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…

House of the Dead (2003) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 13 39:27

3M ago39:27

39:27

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 …

Resident Evil (2001) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 11 40:21

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 ki…

Tomb Raider (2001) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 10 29:04

4M ago29:04

29:04

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! Welcome to Video G…

Pokemon 3 (2001) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 9 30:11

30:11

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. C…

Pokemon 2000 (2000) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 8 28:45

28:45

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. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are watching every v…

Pokemon The First Movie (1999) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 7 22:24

6M ago22:24

22:24

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! W…

Wing Commander (1999) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 6 16:00

16:00

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! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felici…

Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997) | Video Game Movie Hell Ep 5 17:33

6M ago17:33

17:33

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. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are…
