Smashing Bricks is a retro games podcast in which aging gamers look back on games from 20 or more years ago, with each episode following a replay of one spotlighted game. Host Eddie Inzauto and guests talk history and discuss the newfound appreciation—or perhaps disillusionment—resulting from these book-club-style revisitations. Crank the nostalgia dial up to 10 and get ready to start...Smashing Bricks!

Best and Not-Best Movie Tie-In Games - SB Bonus Round 44.5 (Replay)
Note - This episode was originally released in August 2025. I've decided to add prior Bonus Round episodes to the main feed, sequentially and on a 1-year-plus delay, so that EVERYONE can enjoy these fun, classic gaming banter sessions.
Patrons will still get NEW Bonus Round episodes every month, so if you'd like to catch up on the last year of Bonus Round, head over to Patreon and support the show at the Fire Flower level or higher.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Retro Gamers, welcome back to Bonus Round!
These monthly podcast episodes are timed Patreon exclusives and are available at the Fire Flower level of support or higher. Each month, my guest and I will put together some sort of list, ranking, or otherwise fun conversation, usually related to that month's main episode. These will be released on the 28th of each month, and hopefully will be the dessert you've been missing after the main course episode two weeks earlier!
On this month's Bonus Round, Kyle and I are talking about direct movie tie-in games! Listen, people, I'm sure we missed a bunch because I don't play many of these, but we picked out a selection of good ones from gaming history, as wells as a few whose existence I think Kyle just finds humorous, and we chatted about them. I had also just seen James Gunn's new "Superman" movie and was confused about the backlash(?), so we wondered aloud about that to round out the show.
I hope you like it! And please do head over to discord.smashingbricks.com (discord.smashingbricks.com) and talk about all the movie tie-in games YOU are familiar with and/or find interesting in the #bonus-round channel!
