Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, John Dukes, and Phil Thomas. In today's episode, we examine the career of infamous director of bad video game movies, Uwe Boll aka "The Raging Boll," "The Deutschland Destroyer," "The Teutonic Terror," and the "Worst Director Ever." We talk about his personal and professional style; his literal and figurative battles with critics, gamers, and pretty much everyone else; and whether he knew something about film making that the rest of us didn't.
Topics discussed include: the video game movies that never got made, Boll's tax-related shenanigans, and who's the biggest "Uwe Duva?"
