The Art of the Video Game Adaptation, with ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’

In the first section, Jordan and Niv over-analyze 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie.' They discuss the cast, the potential of a property of this scale and the ways in which the film meets and misses that potential. Then, in the second section they analyse 'The Last of Us.' They discuss the difference between the video game and the HBO series, the differences and similarties, how video game mechanics enhance the drama in the show, and how it connects to other iconic apocolypic and zombie entertainment.
