    Bonus Level 34 - Wife Night I: Resident Evil, Anderson v Tingle

    Korwin and Steve may have made a harrowing escape from the Spencer Estate in Resident Evil (2002), but their wives have more in store for them! For this week's bonus level, the Old Game Boys review two very, very loose adaptations of the survival horror classic: Resident Evil (the 2002 action movie directed by Paul WS Anderson) and Resident Anal (the 2026 erotica written by award-winning author Chuck Tingle). Which of these two adaptations holds truest to the beating heart of Resident Evil? Much like the zombies, the answer... may be a no-brainer. Note: Many of our episodes have featured explicit content - this one in particular is VERY NSFW. Buckle up, buckaroos. Games referenced include... Fall Guys, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Resident Evil (2002), Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4 (2005),
