It had to happen eventually: we'd have to cover an Uwe Boll movie. It's probable that you've read a lot of breakdowns of Boll's ineptitude, but nothing beats getting a first hand taste. This is one of the worst movies we've ever seen. Alone in the Dark is about as successful as an adaptation as it is as a film... not at all. You have a main character who dresses like Edward Carnby, and some supern...

Did you know that Maniac Mansion was adapted into a television show in 1990? Did you know Eugene Levy was in charge of it? Did you know that Gary and Kole are actually pretty into the show, by and large? All these questions and more may or may not be answered. The commonalities between the Maniac Mansion TV show and its source material are scant and superficial. In that way, it's a very poor adapt...

The Pokémon anime from the '90s is rightfully beloved. It was a colorful and entertaining look at this magical world chock full of monsters just waiting to be your friend. We're not talking about that show. Instead, we're talking about the soulless and bafflingly-paced miniseries that was originally released alongside Pokémon X and Y. Listen to hear us talk about how Origins jettisons the humor an...

The secret was friendship. The secret was always friendship, but we just forgot... over and over again... in this premium show dedicated to bad adaptations of video games. Or bad movie sequels to video games, like the 2005 movie "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children". A good sequel has similar requirements to a good adaptation: It must honor the source material. While Advent Children takes us back t...

Get your asses to Mars in this second episode of our premium show dedicated to bad adaptations of videos games. It's all about the 2005 movie "Doom". We really didn't intend to do another Resident Evil movie, but here we are. Take Doom, remove all of the action, and take away Hell. Add in ridiculous non-science about extra chromosomes encoding the human soul, and you have just another zombie movie...

This inaugural episode of our premium show dedicated to bad adaptations of video games is all about the 2002 Paul W.S. Anderson movie "Resident Evil." Gary and Kole go in-depth on how Resident Evil fails as an action movie AND as a Resident Evil adaptation, hitting it hard for being an incoherent and insulting mess.

Recorded LIVE at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2013!

A lot of people requested JJ and Jeff for Abject Suffering, so we decided to record a very special episode of Abject Suffering in person during the Portland Retro Gaming Expo of 2013. Listen in horror as we admit to actually kind of LIKING this reviled, strange game. This was originally a backers-only gift for our 2013 Kickstarter campaign.

Nick and Brayton take on two charming darlins. A real coupla Stumptown Dumplins, these.

This week Gary and Jeremy tackle the world's most intense orgasm, otherwise known as the Dark Phoenix Saga. The show spent four episodes covering this, and is surprisingly accurate to the comic books. This podcast is part one, in which we cover the first two episodes: Dazzled and The Inner Circle. Content warning: this one....this one goes some places.

This year's Beholderfest ends with a discussion of Beholder toys and homes.

Milord Wizard answers all of our most pressing questions about Beholders.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross chase their orbs into the world of Nox. It was marketed as EA's answer to Diablo, but it's categorically different. It introduces itself as a goofy and irreverent take on fantasy fiction, but then it plays it straight. After all of the feints, what you end up with is a profoundly strange action RPG. Big thanks to Garrett for executive producing this episode! Support...

Check out this all time classic , then party with the Dirtboys in Inglewood (Inglewood, Illinois).

Let's take a breather and get to know each other. This week, Jeremy Greer and Paddy Smith come along to talk about what happens when a full ka-tet is formed. Jake is firmly in Mid-World, and he's even attracted a furry friend. This chapter is a much-needed break, as the gang finds their first friendly civilization and finally compares notes on where they came from.

Luck is an artificial construct that anthropomorphizes the chaotic forces that make the choices in your minuscule life not matter.

What makes a Beholder tick? What do they do for fun? Let's find out.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to Hollow Knight.

Kole, Ben, Jala, and David talk about What Remains of Edith Finch?, Atari’s console teaser, and we ask you about villains and henchmen. The Brief: Atari is making a console? Dragon Quest XI Nintendo Direct is happening next week. Call of Duty: WWII won’t feature swastikas. The Multiplayer: If you were a villain, what would your minions be? The Grind: Kole: What Remains of Edith Finch? Jala: Sky Da...

What can a Beholder do? Let's find out in the Powers section of "I, Tyrant".

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to SSX Tricky. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Two cars in every garage, and a copy of "Automatic for the People" on every media shelf. The R.E.M. rocket is about to reach its apex, as our boys from Athens are riding high after "Out of Time" and about to release their most successful album ever. What kind of album does a touring band make when they don't tour anymore? A softer, weirder, more morbid album that landed with a bang in its time but...

Our look at "I, Tyrant" continues as we gaze upon Beholder history and myth.

Kris and Kole talk about brand loyalty, crisis, and plagiarism. ALSO: Tentpole. How the West was fun. Pepsi shirt on Coke day. Ripple got Bluthed. Grandma prom. Sizzlin’ Beans. Laundry pods and dementia. Staggering heroin stats. Pocket full of Sparknotes.
