Paul WS Anderson and Mila Jovovich are back, and this time they are tackling the world of Monster Hunter. We watch their latest film this week, and also introduce out new, rebooted format. It's the beginning of Season 1 for us, everyone. Everything that came before is practice, this podcast just got real. We also discuss Raft, The Pretender and The Avengers game.

Alright, we have quite the strange little film for you today. A film sequel to the immensely popular video game Final Fanbtasy 7. 3 out 4 of our hosts have found memories of this movie, 1.. less so. 5 points to whoever guess who doesn't! (It's Nick!)

Ok, so this isn't technically a video game adaptation. But, it's close enough for us! We're watching Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, which was supposed to be the launch of a digital actress, who would appear in multiple films. That didn't happen though because this movie lost a lot of money. It's a very strange film, but one that brought about a ton of innovation. It's kind of like the Phantom Menace for Motion capture. Which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

Aaron Paul and Dominc Cooper star in a movie about car racing, I think. Maybe it's about stealing cars too? It's sort of about friendship... also revenge, we think? It's a bit of a mess honestly. Anyway, here is Need for Speed!

New episode, hot off the presses! We're talking Assassins Creed today. A movie, and some would say franchise, that isn't exactly sure what it wants to be. Check it out!

2020, what the heck? Am I right? Let's talk about it.

Our latest episode is on Tekken. A movie that, if nothing else, sets the record for the most times the word Tekken is said on screen. Other then that, there isn't much to say about it.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, another example of the difficulty in turning a fighting game into a movie. Especially, if you hold back on the crazy story elements, and try to make it exist in the real world. Fighting games are bonkers, and the movies made from them should be bonkers as well. Go. Full. Weird, Hollywood, you'll have more fun.

Another week, another Hitman movie. This is the second Hitman movie, not the one no one liked staring Timothy Olyphant, the other one know liked staring Rupert Friend.  We talk about all the goofy nonsense happening in this odd take on the Hitman franchise. Hope you like!

The first of two Hitman movies. This one staring a miscast Timothy Olyphant and, I'm sure, other people. Come for the stilted dialogue and nonsensical plot, stay for the... not really sure why you should stay.
