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.

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 fans that love nothing more than recognising characters.

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.

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 idea of one of those, but we’ll let you decide.

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.

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 unforgivable crime.

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 ask that because they made a movie about that. We talk about it in this episode.

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?

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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
minimme | Resident Evil: Gaiden ▶ https://youtu.be/vt4KnMoCIp8
Play the Resident Evil 2 Remake (which I also believe exists, I haven’t played it but apparently it’s good and Resident Evil 2 was good so if you kinda want a good version, just play the games).
Also recommend playing through with both characters and unlocking the SWAT member “HUNK” and trying to speedrun through it with him on his version of it.

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.

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.
