This is the podcast about movies, videogames, and the sparks that fly when those worlds collide! Each week, Steve Guntli, Jennifer Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm will watch a movie and then play the video game based on that movie to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, similarities, and differences between the two mediums to see how they complement, or contradict, each other!

    Porky's (with Lynsey Pennington)

    It's our 150th episode! We thought we'd mark this milestone by digging up one of the least-likely movies to ever have a game adaptation: the 1982 raunchy teen sex comedy PORKY'S! This tiny little gross-out comedy from director Bob Clark became an unlikely sensation, making more than $200 million on a $4 million budget and creating an entire subgenre of horny high school knockoffs, but understandably, not every part of this film has aged well. We're joined this week by Ultra 64 regular Lynsey Pennington, who helps give us some context for the film before we dust off the Atari 2600 game adaptation, which finds surprising ways to use the license while ripping off almost every popular game of the era.  Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm  Logo by Douglas McCambridge  Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast  YouTube: @CinemArcade  Next week's episode: Days of Thunder

    The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie

    Are ya ready kids? Because this week we're tackling the tiny yellow sponge who became a media juggernaut: SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! We're covering the charming invertibrate's debut feature film from 2004, and exploring the generation-defining phenomenon that lives in a pineapple under the sea. Then, we're checking out the game adaptation for Xbox and discussing how SpongeBob is quietly one of the most dominant characters in gaming!  Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm  Logo by Douglas McCambridge  Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast  YouTube: @CinemArcade  Next week's episode: Porky's

    Darkman (with Benjamin Blattberg)

    Sam Raimi, the enfant terrible of the indie horror scene, made his major studio debut in 1990 with DARKMAN! An original superhero story not-so-loosely inspired by "The Shadow," DARKMAN provides an early lead role for Liam Neeson, and a sort of prototype for what would become the Raimi house style. But is this an excercise in style over substance or is there something substantial lurking in the dark? Our friend Benjamin Blattberg joins us to find out, and to try out the NES game adaptation from 1991!  Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm  Logo by Douglas McCambridge  Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast  YouTube: @CinemArcade  Next week's episode: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie

    Godzilla

    No other movie star has loomed quite as large as GODZILLA! This week we're checking out the icon of Japanese cinema in his very first appearance from 1954, and covering the long, complex, and fascinating history of filmdom's greatest kaiju. Then, we're digging in to a couple of classic games based on the character and his universe, including two oddball NES games and the SNES title SUPER GODZILLA!  Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm  Logo by Douglas McCambridge  Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast  YouTube: @CinemArcade  Next week's episode: Darkman

    Nacho Libre

    I am, I am... going to talk about NACHO LIBRE! This 2006 luchadore comedy offers an early starring role for Jack Black and a feature film follow-up for the director of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. But is this the right team to be telling this story? Or does this quirky family comedy offer enough charms to overcome that? We'll find out before popping in the DS-exclusive game adaptation, a hybrid of touch-screen minigames and wrestling action!  Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm  Logo by Douglas McCambridge  Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast  YouTube: @CinemArcade  Next week's episode: Godzilla

    Stargate

    Step through the giant ancient portal with us as we travel to a distant planet that looks strongly like ancient Egypt; if any of that made sense to you then you must be a fan of STARGATE! Roland Emmerich's splashy sci-fi spectacle has had a long and impactful tail in nerd culture, but is this movie the least essential part of it's legacy? We'll get into it, before playing the Sega Genesis game which, strangely, is one of Steve's most-played games of all time.  Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm  Logo by Douglas McCambridge  Email: cinemarcadepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram/Threads: @cinemarcade_podcast  YouTube: @CinemArcade  Next week's episode: Nacho Libre

    Disney's Hercules

    We're going from zero to hero this week as we cover Disney's 1997 interpretation of HERCULES! Coming right smack in the middle of the studio's major renaissance, the film was dinged at the time for being too lightweight, but it's that very breeziness that makes it a delight. We're covering the film before booting up the 2.5-D action platformer for the PS1 and PC!

    Aeon Flux

    Get ready to head to the hyperkinetic world of the future, where hands are used for feet and even the grass can kill you, as we cover the 2005 bomb AEON FLUX! Adapted from the cult MTV animated series, this movie gave Charlize Theron her start as an action heroine, but heavy studio meddling left moviegoers more baffled than enthralled. We go into exactly what went wrong before checking out the action-heavy Xbox game adapation, which conveniently comes with a free movie ticket! (Oh wait, it's expired...)
