The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast is an excuse to play licensed video games and give them their (usually undeserved) moment in the spotlight. Host Devon Dozlaw, and a rotating cast of guest co-hosts, watch the films and TV shows that these cash grab video games are ostensibly based on, suffer through the tie-ins, and then sit down to discuss how well the developers honoured their respective licenses, making fun of the games whenever possible.

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Bart get to geek out about the Watchmen. In “Watchmen: The End is Nigh” the player, or players (since the game has local co-op) get to control Night Owl and Rorschach as they pair up and beat the ever-living-hell out of anyone they see.

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Jackson sit down to discuss another beloved horror franchise with “Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick” for the PS2/Xbox.

Riding the coattails of the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hype, Devon and Hudson sit down to talk about the first Bayformers movie game from 2007. The game is pretty bare bones for releasing at the end of the PS2’s life cycle, but it’s still satisfying to kick the crap out of endless waves of enemy drones before transforming into a vehicle and b…

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Jesse sit down to discuss one of the most beloved movie games of all time.

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Sam and Bart join Devon to chat about The Pagemaster for SEGA Genesis.

For the second episode in the Pitch Party trilogy of episodes on movies that contain [sort of] sexy sword fights, Alexis and Devon must pitch their own made-up games based on Kill Bill, to Bart. With tons of action, a bad-ass lead dead-set on exacting her bloody revenge, and a whole gang of cool villains in her way, a Kill Bill video game feels lik…

For the final Obligatory Movie Game Podcast episode of May, Devon and Dalton dive into Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the jaw-droppingly expansive Star Wars RPG from 2003.

May the 4th be with you! It’s May, and the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast is ready to pick off some womp rats, starting with the 1991 New Hope adaptation for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Hudson sit down to look at another superhero tie-in from the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era. Fantastic Four shares some gameplay elements with other co-op beat em ups like Shrek 2 and X-Men Legends, but it takes some bizarre liberties with its plot. Instead of locking themselves away to conduct…

For this Obligatory Movie Game Episode Devon and Darryl cover one of the most infamous, and also most-requested-for-this-show movie games of all time. E.T. for the Atari 2600 has garnered a baffling (if a little overblown) reputation as the game that caused the video game crash of 1983, almost destroying the video game industry altogether. A lot of…

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Shawn finally cover a James Bond game.

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon sits down with his brother Mark to discuss the PS3 version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The game follows the events of the film, b…

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and his guests try something new by covering a board game based on a movie, rather than a video game based on a movie. Steven Spielberg’s horror classic Jaws was a smash hit when it came to theatres in 1975, and merchandise with the artwork from Roger Kastel’s famous poster is as ubiquito…

For the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast’s second Shrektember episode, Devon and Jackson sit down to discuss Shrek 2. It’s the most critically acclaimed Shrek game, and it made a lot of fans with its blend of 4 player co-op beat 'em up action, mini games and puzzles.

OMGP: Finding Nemo Happy Shark Week! To close out Shark Week, Devon and Jackson sit down to discuss the tie-in Playstation 2 game for Finding Nemo.

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon sits down with Hudson to compare the film that started the Marvel Cinematic Universe off with a bang to its movie tie-in counterpart.

In this episode Devon sits down with Hudson to discuss Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which was arguably the closest thing Star Wars fans got to a tie-in game for Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. Hudson and Devon both spent some time with this (mostly) vehicular combat game back when it was originally released for the Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox s…

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast series Devon sits down with Quentin to discuss the side-scrolling beat-em-up Batman Forever for the SEGA Genesis. There have been a whole batload of Batman games over the years, but this panned tie-in rarely makes Best Batman Games lists thanks to its wonky controls, goofy look, and vexing diffic…

In this episode Devon sits down with mixed media artist/graphic designer Stacey Lee Erickson to discuss the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In this episode Devon sits down with Jon Soroka to discuss the squad-based survival horror game that serves as a sequel to John Carpenter’s horror sci-fi cult classic, The Thing.

In this episode Devon sits down with Austin Eckert to discuss the tie-in video game for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines for XBox/PS2.
