20 - The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

PLAYTIME’S OVER Want to start a successful animated family-friendly movie franchise? There’s an app for that. We discuss the app-tly named The Angry Birds Movie until we’re red in the face. In 2025, we’re both going to have to purchase adult tickets to see The Angry Birds Movie 3 - an embarrassing and necessary sacrifice for the art of podcasting.

19 - Borderlands (2024)

CHAOS LOVES COMPANY Bored-erlands? Boredom-lands? Is this original joke Bordering on Landing? A self-fulfilling prophecy as this movie casts itself into the borderlands alongside most “cursed” video game movies. Whilst television boasts series like The Last Of Us and Fallout, it’s disappointing to see that tasteless, humourless, heartless movies like this one are still being blindingly adored by fans that love nothing more than recognising characters. RECOMMENDATIONS: extraTV | Interview with The Rock & Kevin Hart ▶ https://youtu.be/WPjISAdrKc8 Nerdstalgic | The Inevitable Downfall of Neill Blomkamp’s Movies ▶ https://youtu.be/nupHX1nj2JY Mo1st Cr1TiKaL | Borderlands Movie is Horrible ▶ https://youtu.be/ENqL2g0hT8U LINKS: ▶ https://linktr.ee/badaptationpod EMAIL: ▶ badaptationpod@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 ▶ Introduction & Game Experience 5:28 ▶ Brief Synopsis 6:20 ▶ Short Segment About Kevin Hart 9:26 ▶ Movie Discussion 40:40 ▶ Worst Hair 43:18 ▶ Best & Worst 46:40 ▶ Krieg 48:26 ▶ Don’t Ya Know? 52:37 ▶ Success & Backlash 56:53 ▶ Deadpool & Wolverine 1:06:07 ▶ Rating 1:06:40 ▶ Recommendations 1:08:18 ▶ Next Episode & Outro

18 - Gran Turismo (2023)

FROM GAMER TO RACER That sums up the move in as few words as possible - this podcast does the opposite of that, so BUCKLE UP. That was a bit of a joke about cars. Whilst we may have taken an extended PIT STOP due to some SPEED BUMPS, we didn’t CRASH AND BURN. We’ve SHIFTED GEARS to RACE through the TWISTS AND TURNS of this TURBO CHARGED movie. We’re so back. RECOMMENDATIONS: Fastminer07: The Slow Deterioration of Gran Turismo ▶ https://youtu.be/SDK1KE4JZCc Making of Gran Turismo ▶ https://youtu.be/z3qZYw49FkA The Movie Rabbit Hole | “No CGI” is Really Just Invisible CGI ▶ https://youtu.be/7ttG90raCNo LINKS: ▶ https://linktr.ee/badaptationpod EMAIL: ▶ badaptationpod@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 ▶ Introduction & Game Experience 5:58 ▶ Brief Synopsis 7:48 ▶ Movie Discussion 27:22 ▶ Favourite Spice Girl 28:42 ▶ Movie Discussion Continued 37:05 ▶ Current Movie Landscape 44:37 ▶ Worst Hair 45:45 ▶ More Movie Discussion 55:43 ▶ Best & Worst 1:00:45 ▶ Don’t Ya Know? 1:02:46 ▶ Fact Check Time 1:05:23 ▶ Success & Ratings 1:21:27 ▶ Recommendations 1:23:39 ▶ Next Episode & Outro

17 - Dynasty Warriors (2021)

真·三國無雙 Normally we put the tagline of the movie above, however, the tagline is in Chinese. Instead, the characters above have been haphazardly copied from Wikipedia. Guy says he’ll get it tattooed on him if this video gets 2 or more views. This movie is our first and last foreign-language film, and is as easy to follow with either subs or dubs. We at Badaptation Pod are vehemently against the idea of one of those, but we’ll let you decide. RECOMMENDATIONS: Gameranx | 10 Biggest Battles Ever in Video Games ▶ https://youtu.be/AxgKhmIwHmI Internet Historian | The Engoodening of No Man’s Sky ▶ https://youtu.be/O5BJVO3PDeQ LINKS: ▶ https://linktr.ee/badaptationpod EMAIL: ▶ badaptationpod@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 ▶ Introduction & Game Experience 7:55 ▶ Brief Synopsis & Game Experience Continued 16:40 ▶ Movie Discussion 29:39 ▶ Worst Hair 30:53 ▶ Movie Discussion Continued 42:42 ▶ Best/Worst 43:42 ▶ Don’t Ya Know? & More Movie Discussion 47:58 ▶ Success & Rating 49:17 ▶ Recommendations 50:53 ▶ Next Episode & Outro

16 - Silent Hill (2006)

WE’VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU If you haven’t seen this movie, this may be hard to follow. If you HAVE seen this movie, this still may be hard to follow. This is by far the strangest movie we’ve covered so far, it was nice to have something that wasn’t a zombie/action flick. Hopefully you think it’s nice too.

15 - Resident Evil Extinction (2007)

ALL BETS ARE OFF It’s a good thing all bets are off, because we bet we wouldn’t enjoy any more of this franchise. But we’re back, Alice is back, LJ is back too, for some reason. The number of movies in this franchise is slightly overwhelming (verging on simply whelming), however, it helps to know that there’s only 6, not 7, as we frequently incorrectly spout throughout this episode - an unforgivable crime. RECOMMENDATIONS: 7 Rip-Off Games You Thought Were Original | outsidexbox ▶ https://youtu.be/XHyynL75EgA Watch Mad Max 2 / The Road Warrior (1981) Watch Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) LINKS: ▶ https://linktr.ee/badaptationpod EMAIL: ▶ badaptationpod@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 ▶ Introduction & Brief Synopsis 1:32 ▶ Movie Discussion 55:27 ▶ Worst Hair 49:00 ▶ Don’t Ya Know? 50:59 ▶ Success & Rating 56:22 ▶ Recommendations 57:40 ▶ Next Episode & Outro

14 - Dead Trigger (2017)

UNKILLED Did somebody say Dead Trigger? Huh? What? I swear I heard someone say Dead Trigger! Nobody said Dead Trigger? Nobody, ever? Well, dang. Luckily for you, we’ve recorded and published an entire episode dedicated to this movie you’ve never heard of, based on a game you’ve never heard of. You’re welcome?

13 - Sonic The Hedgehog (2020)

GOTTA GO FAST First Mario, now Sonic? What WON’T we cover? We won’t cover video games based on movies (that would be so expensive), please stop asking. It’s the first movie in what will become at least a trilogy, and we dawdle our way through talking about it RECOMMENDATIONS: The Completionist | Sonic Advance ▶ https://youtu.be/z9eiUsxKm4I Corridor Crew | VFX Artist React 1 ▶ https://youtu.be/_4WrKeoeZhk Supereyepatchwolf | The Bizzare Modern Reality of Sonic ▶ https://youtu.be/JR9F2Z7zSbA LINKS: ▶ https://linktr.ee/badaptationpod EMAIL: ▶ badaptationpod@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 ▶ Introduction & Game Experience 4:00 ▶ Game Experience 19:50 ▶ Brief Synopsis 20:39 ▶ Movie Discussion 55:04 ▶ Don’t Ya Know? 1:02:06 ▶ Best & Worst 1:07:17 ▶ Success & Rating 1:11:36 ▶ Recommendations 1:14:33 ▶ Next Episode & Outro
