    At the Movies: Ratchet and Clank

    Chapter Select is finally back to review Ratchet and Clank, a CGI theatrical film developed in tandem with the 2016 PS4 reboot of the series.

    At the Movies: Super Mario Bros: The Morton Jankel Cut (VHS Extended Rough Cut 1.0)

    With The Last of Us firmly behind Randy and Jens, they finally get back into their comfort zone: terrible movies. Back in 2021, filmmaker Garrett Gilchrist (whom you might know for his similar restoration of The Thief and the Cobbler) released this extended rough cut of Super Mario Bros.: The Movie, utilizing over 20 minutes of additional footage from directors Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel's work print. The "Morton Jankel Cut" is notable for its darker and grittier take on the Mario universe, incorporating slightly more elements of a cyberpunk dystopia. Randy and Jens give their thoughts and opinions on this interesting glimpse into the creative process behind a controversial movie adaptation. They discuss whether the changes made were worth the effort and whether this version improves upon the original release.

    At the Movies: The Last of Us - Episode 9: Look for the Light

    As Joel and Ellie’s long and arduous journey comes to an end, Jens and Randy reflect on how it was longer and much more arduous in the video game. Trifling complaints aside, the show sticks the landing in a major way. Also: Jens continues not to remember either Last of Us game well AT ALL.

    At the Movies: The Last of Us - Episode 8: When We Are in Need

    As Randy and Jens reach the penultimate climax of the series, Jens finds he’s completely blocked this part of the game out of his mind ever since. Still, as soon as the David character in The Last of Us started reading from the Bible, the guys knew he was going to be a horrific villain. Could there be a Bible-reading preacher on a show who is actually loving and kind? Neil Druckman says “No!”
