Episode 15: Video Game Adaptations, feat. Justin Clark


Listen Later

Movies based on video games. Absolutely nobody enjoys them, right? Well, they wouldn't keep making them if someone wasn't watching them. Who is that someone? It's actually two someones, your humble podcast host Gabe and his friend, video game player, chronicler, critic, and all-around enthusiast, Justin Clark. Join them on their co-op mode adventure through four classic and, erm, not-so-classic motion pictures – James Yukich's Double Dragon (1994), Paul W.S. Anderson's Mortal Kombat (1995), Christophe Gans' Silent Hill (2005), and Takashi Miike's Ace Attorney (2012).
