Hey! Look! Listen!

Today, we’re t-spinning into a side quest and talking all things video game adaptations in the world of movies and TV! We start (00:00) with a discussion on the short-term impact of the dual Hollywood strikes: namely, reality shows.

In The Multiplying Genre (07:09), we recap the history of video game adaptations before detailing the impact of video games (20:51) in the world of cinema: audience and critical perception, financial success, and - as is our wont - compare these adaptations with comic book movies.

In Cross Dysfunctional (38:23), like good product leaders, we investigate the WHY behind video game adaptations and use our magic crystals to decipher what differentiates a good adaptation from a bad one (55:21).

In Final Thoughts (1:09:48), we go back to the beginning – what actually goes into making a good video game in the first place? We also dive into the news regarding SAG-AFTRA's authorization of a strike the video game industry (in addition to the AMPTP) and what we can expect moving forward.

So would you kindly check your health meter and shoot a fireball so we can FINISH HIM?!
