Resident Evil
One of Capcom's biggest franchises got its own big screen adaptation in 2002 with Resident Evil, directed by the same man that brought us Mortal Kombat in 1995: Paul W. S. Anderson. Critics were not kind, as is the case with most video game movies, but the movie found its audience and spawned numerous sequels. One of us loves the RE games, the other has never picked one up. Will this affect our enjoyment of Milla Jovovich? Unlikely. Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord...

Rampage
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has had a very successful, if not uneven run in Hollywood. Rampage seemed to please casual movie goers well enough, even if it did not win over critics. We are kicking off Video Game Month II with one of the more bizarre adaptations made so far. Does the monster mayhem satisfy? Is Jeffrey Dean Morgan criminally underrated? Is the world ready for another Shane Black movie? We investigate all of these questions and more.Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discor...

Stir of Echoes
Not only does this movie feature a young boy that can talk to dead people, but it released within months of The Sixth Sense. After a disappointing run at the box office and a slew of unfavorable comparisons, Stir of Echoes has quietly slipped into obscurity.

Kevin Bacon is shirtless, the ghosts are spooky, and Kevin Dunn shows up for the second time this month.Join the Best of the Rest discord: h...

The Illusionist
The Illusionist was a moderately successful and well reviewed film about a magician. The only problem was it released in the same year as The Prestige, a movie with not one but TWO magicians, and a much higher budget. This week we take a second look at the overlooked magic movie starring Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, and Jessica Biel to find all the things this movie got right!Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/botrcast Email...

Small Soldiers
If you ask someone if they remember that talking toy movie from the 90s, they will probably tell you about Woody and Buzz. But in between Toy Story 1 and 2, Small Soldiers hit the big screen with a PG-13 attitude. Loaded with an incredible cast including Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman, and Tommy Lee Jones, we believe this movie is worthy of having a legacy outside of the Pixar shadow.Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/botrcast E...
