PLAYTIME’S OVER Want to start a successful animated family-friendly movie franchise? There’s an app for that.  We discuss the app-tly named The Angry Birds Movie until we’re red in the face. In 2025, we’re both going to have to purchase adult tickets to see The Angry Birds Movie 3 - an embarrassing and necessary sacrifice for the art of podcasting. RECOMMENDATION: Isenhart Productions | The Bizarr...

CHAOS LOVES COMPANY Bored-erlands? Boredom-lands? Is this original joke Bordering on Landing? A self-fulfilling prophecy as this movie casts itself into the borderlands alongside most “cursed” video game movies. Whilst television boasts series like The Last Of Us and Fallout, it’s disappointing to see that tasteless, humourless, heartless movies like this one are still being blindingly adored by f...

FROM GAMER TO RACER That sums up the move in as few words as possible - this podcast does the opposite of that, so BUCKLE UP. That was a bit of a joke about cars. Whilst we may have taken an extended PIT STOP due to some SPEED BUMPS, we didn’t CRASH AND BURN. We’ve SHIFTED GEARS to RACE through the TWISTS AND TURNS of this TURBO CHARGED movie. We’re so back. RECOMMENDATIONS: Fastminer07: The Slow...

真·三國無雙 Normally we put the tagline of the movie above, however, the tagline is in Chinese. Instead, the characters above have been haphazardly copied from Wikipedia. Guy says he’ll get it tattooed on him if this video gets 2 or more views. This movie is our first and last foreign-language film, and is as easy to follow with either subs or dubs. We at Badaptation Pod are vehemently against the...

WE’VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU If you haven’t seen this movie, this may be hard to follow. If you HAVE seen this movie, this still may be hard to follow. This is by far the strangest movie we’ve covered so far, it was nice to have something that wasn’t a zombie/action flick. Hopefully you think it’s nice too. RECOMMENDATIONS: Games That Don’t Fake The Space | Jacob Geller ▶ https://youtu.be/Q85l1Fenc5w...

ALL BETS ARE OFF It’s a good thing all bets are off, because we bet we wouldn’t enjoy any more of this franchise. But we’re back, Alice is back, LJ is back too, for some reason. The number of movies in this franchise is slightly overwhelming (verging on simply whelming), however, it helps to know that there’s only 6, not 7, as we frequently incorrectly spout throughout this episode - an unforgivab...

UNKILLED Did somebody say Dead Trigger? Huh? What? I swear I heard someone say Dead Trigger! Nobody said Dead Trigger? Nobody, ever? Well, dang. Luckily for you, we’ve recorded and published an entire episode dedicated to this movie you’ve never heard of, based on a game you’ve never heard of. You’re welcome? RECOMMENDATIONS: Chris Stuckmann | The Badaptation Curse ▶ https://youtu.be/S1e0q5Dwh18 F...

GOTTA GO FAST First Mario, now Sonic? What WON’T we cover? We won’t cover video games based on movies (that would be so expensive), please stop asking. It’s the first movie in what will become at least a trilogy, and we dawdle our way through talking about it RECOMMENDATIONS: The Completionist | Sonic Advance ▶ https://youtu.be/z9eiUsxKm4I   Corridor Crew | VFX Artist React 1 ▶ https://youtu.be/_4...

HITMAN Man, was Hitman a hit? Or was Hitman s**t? We let you know what we think, which should now be what you think. We have almost 90 minutes worth of stuff to say about this serious movie based on an unserious franchise. Dive into the “Nation of Badaptation” as we dive into “The World of Assassins”. RECOMMENDATIONS: videogamedunkey | Hitman 3 ▶ https://youtu.be/UA3NlwU7keI  Atrioc | Hitman Speed...

SURVIVAL IS NO GAME We’re Tekken a look at a fighting game franchise that isn’t Street Fighter for the first time. Your favourite character may or may not make an appearance in this film, depending on your taste.  What happens if you take all of the supernatural elements out of Tekken and use a weird portion of the available characters set in a post-apocalyptic world? Honestly, so weird that you a...

DRIVEN BY REVENGE “This movie will be lost in time, like blood in the rain.” That’s a quote from Blade Runner, but made worse. It’s suitable, because this movie is like Blade, but made worse. Uwe Boll continues his quest to make a quick buck by capitalising off the idea that nerds will consume all content that contains IP that they recognise. Jokes on you, Boll, we didn’t even recognise this one....

LET’S-A-GO As the target audience of this movie aimed at kids, expect a normal, level-headed, and totally fair review from two grown men who haven’t played a Super Mario Bros game for a wee while. A colourful movie deserves an episode with colourful language, so we’ve at least delivered on that front. Also, we disagree a lot, that’s engaging isn’t it? RECOMMENDATIONS: SNL | Pedro Pascal as Super M...

MY NAME IS ALICE AND I REMEMBER EVERYTHING It’s been said that we’re the Jill and Alice of podcasting, in that we’re pretty interchangeable, two-dimensional, and not particularly memorable. Don’t listen to them though, listen to us instead! We don’t think that! This episode is about a movie with lots of action and bad dialogue - again, parallels to the podcast itself, allegedly. We have fun, we do...

UNCUT. UNCENSORED. UNLEASHED. We are already, once again, jumping back into the world of the Street Fighter franchise.  This one contains a scene with Chun-Li that has been rewatched by Guy more than anyone has watched the 2009 movie about her*. How many more times will we have to do this? Not many, and not soon, hopefully. *citation needed RECOMMENDATIONS: IGN Games | The eSports Moment that Chan...

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE Us trying to find nice things to say about this movie is like trying to get blood out of a stone, or heart out of The Rock. Discussing Obviously Odious Movies, Dwayne Only Occupies Monotony, Dreadful Or Obnoxious Mediocrity. DOOM.

SOME FIGHT FOR POWER. SOME FIGHT FOR US. The plot is as consistent as Bison’ bad Irish accent, and as confusing as Bison’s bad Irish accent. But at the very least we get to see a non-musical performance from Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Taboo’, which is thankfully only on-screen as much as Bison’s bad Irish accent. RECOMMENDATIONS: Michael Saba | The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made ▶ https://youtu.be/KhzjWfvsic...

THE ULTIMATE BATTLE They don’t even fight in the street. Which fighters should have made a CAMMY-o in this film? Apologies, I SAGAT puns, I haven’t the VEGAst idea what I’m doing, yet I have the GUILE to continue. KEN RYU believe it? I’m finally drawing a BLANKA.

THIS AIN’T NO GAME Trust the fungus! This is the first video game adapted into a movie, and will soon be harder to Google due to the Chris Pratt one coming out in 2023. We’re also going to have to cover that one, it might be better than this one.

YOU WON’T LAST THE NIGHT Our first foray into Uwe’s Bollocks, and Uwe Boll’s first foray into video game adaptations. We try to survive exploring the House of the Dead from 2003 and the machinations in the mind of a madman from Germany. No, not that one, the other one.

SURVIVE THE HORROR  Remember 2002? If not, watch Resident Evil and reimmerse yourself in the culture of bad fashion, nu metal, and bad one-liners. Then why not watch the remainder of the septalogy? There’s seven more live-action films. We’ve made a good decision.  RECOMMENDATIONS:  Corridor Crew | VFX Artists React ▶ https://youtu.be/geJg1CZv_-Y LINKS: ▶ https://linktr.ee/badaptationpod EMAIL: ▶ b...
