Bullet Time is the video game podcast that analyzes the shooters that missed their mark: the failed innovators, odd-offshoots, and forgotten favourites. Every episode, host @hotcyder and a revolving cast of guests dig into the details of developer histories, cultural context, game feel and set-pieces. Expect one-off episodes focused on a single mid-tier classic, as well as mini-series that chart the developers, engines and inspirations that tie multiple titles together.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
On this episode of Movies We Like, Sweed, Snake and James return to talk Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen from director Michael Bay. What this film lacks in coherent plot and exciting set-pieces, it makes up for in dogs boning.

Movies We Like presents Transformers (2009)
Movies We Like is a podcast about movies we like. On this episode, Sweed, Snake and James talk Transformers (2009) from director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg. The heart-warming, coming-of-age story of a car from outerspace helping a teenage boy get laid.

The Punisher (w/ StokedMatty)
On this episode of Bullet Time, special guest Matty from YouTube channel Stoked joins James and guest host TehSnakerer to welcome back Frank and returning developer Volition with 2005’s The Punisher. Along the way, the three discuss a strange pre-MCU era of Marvel properties, police brutality as arcade asides, how this game laid path towards the Saints Row series, and the silly origins for Punisher’s skull motif.

Ape Escape
On this episode of Coyote Time, Wyatt and James chase time-displaced simians in Sony Interactive Entertainment’s 1999 game Ape Escape. The two talk the game’s innovative control scheme, Sony’s abundance of platform mascots, Jungle music, and for some reason Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia.

007 Legends (w/ Webster)
On this episode of Bullet Time, special guest Sam Webster returns to bond with James over James Bond with Eurocom’s 2012 shooter 007 Legends. A playable celebration of the super spy’s 50 years film history, retold in the style of a COD: Modern Warfare inspired FPS starring Daniel Craig. The two talk setpieces, awkward stealth, slippery ice and unfortunate casting choices.
