Summary
We've talked about video games based on movies but this time we're going the other way and focusing on movies that are based on video games and why they usually suck. Holden guides through the dark ages of Mario and Street Fighter, the darker ages of anything Uwe Boll has done, the mostly forgettable 2010s (There was in fact no need for speed) and how a little electric Pokémon gave the genre the creative spark it desperately needed and how we're still benefiting from it. . I guarantee this will be the most memorable podcast of your life. For us, it is Monday. Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth
