A fun, informative and (mostly) positive discussion at the intersection of movies/TV and video games. For Season 5, Travis Colenutt, Katie Lesperance and Jacob McCourt will bring you weekly recaps of gaming's biggest summer blockbuster films every Thursday beginning on August 17th!
Typically, our hosts watch a video game themed movie or TV show and give you our thoughts through friendly conversation and fun segments.
Looking for a good place to start? Listen to:
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu
Super Mario Bros.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
or either of our Mortal Kombat episodes!
As previously announced, this will (probably) be the final episode of Cutscenes - so if you have supported the show in any small way over the past five years - thank you... we wouldn't be here without you.
In our third and final episode of Season 5, we turn back the clock in Until Dawn.
Hosted by Jacob McCourt, Katie Lesperance & Travis Colenutt.
