The Best Bits

Will, a gamer, and Kevin, an NPC, power up for a chat about video game adaptations and films inspired by game mechanics. From arcade games to mobile games, 'cut scenes' to scenes that should've been cut, and from ludonarratives to MMORPGs, has there ever been a great game adaptation?

Grand gestures, proposals, and confessions. Will and Kevin rhapsodise about memorable movie moments where characters declare their love for another.

Trigger Warning: this episode is soppy, mawkish, sentimental and long. It is likely to cause eye-rolling, dry-heaving, uncontrollable sobbing, and/or groaning along with unexpected dizzying bouts of intense arousal, longing and disgust. Discretion is advised. ❤️
