Every month, Dan and Maxie discuss a movie adaptation of a video game series and rate it based on both its quality as an adaptation and its quality as a stand-alone film.
This month's movie is the third Pokemon movie! The one with Entei in it, being a dad!
This film, released at the tail end of the late 90s pokemon zeitgeist, is definitionally a three-star banger with it's excellent visuals and great concepts but questionable script. They even made Brock enjoyable! Still, a lot of this movie feels very first draft between it's pacing, it's redundant plot details, and Team Rocket's seemingly meaningless inclusion beyond a sense of marketing obligation.

Mega Man (2010 fan film)
This month's movie is Blue Core Studio's Mega Man fan film. What can a bunch of aspiring amateur filmmakers with intimate knowledge of the Mega Man series make? Not an action film, that's for sure.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
This month's movie is the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie!
The sword of Damocles that has been hanging over this podcast since the beginning. For Dan, this was wasted potential held back by needing to be an Illumination film. For Maxie, this was an infuriating display of corporate branding that expects you to clap when you see it. Did we need Chris Pratt that badly? Was it really necessary to waste Holding Out For A Hero on a training montage? Did Jack Black singing the word "peaches" over and over again really get radio play?
Our Rating:
