For the season 2 finale of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Judd finally sit down to discuss Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. We’ve covered a lot of games on this podcast that live on in infamy, but this is one of the most revered games on the Nintendo 64, and it regularly tops lists of the greatest movie tie-in games of all time.

OMGP: The Warriors

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Bart do a deep dive on one of the most beloved movie games of all time. Thanks to its Rockstar pedigree, fans of the “Grand Theft Auto” games knew what to expect with “The Warriors,” but the care that the developers put into everything from the brawler combat to the score, was rare in a movie game. The characters, locales, and conflict from the film all make it into the game, but rather than jumping in right where the movie star...

OMGP: Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Parts 1 and 2)

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Bart get to geek out about the Watchmen. In “Watchmen: The End is Nigh” the player, or players (since the game has local co-op) get to control Night Owl and Rorschach as they pair up and beat the ever-living-hell out of anyone they see. Bikers, top-knotted gang members, disco-loving, bell-bottomed bachelors, and sex workers are among the many punching bags who find themselves between our heroes and their pursuit of justice, and e...

OMGP: Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Jackson sit down to discuss another beloved horror franchise with “Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick” for the PS2/Xbox. The game tells its own story, and gets some points for its outlandish premise: some fresh translations of the Necronomicon are read live on a talk show, which unleashes some familiar horrors on Dearborn Michigan, and Ash, voiced by Bruce Campbell, needs to travel to various different time periods to fix the blunde...

OMGP: Blair Witch

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Project, Devon and Camille sit down to compare the Blair Witch movies to the Blair Witch video game from 2019. Since this is a Halloween episode, they warm up by shooting the breeze about horror movies, each sharing some of their faves from various eras. From there, they examine the plot, characters and setting of the game, making connections, and identifying big differences between the game and the films. Since the game is newer than most of the g...

OMGP: Friday the 13th (NES)

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, slasher fans Devon and Jackson start things off by giving their personal rankings of the Friday the 13th films, before comparing the 1989 NES game to the first 8 Friday movies. The game uses the Crystal Lake camp setting, but features zombies and evil wildlife like wolves and crows. It brings in the weird mom stuff from Part 2, but introduces a vibrant, purple and turquoise version of the killer in a hockey mask and jumpsuit. The counselor...

OMGP: Trektember Finale: ST Series and Film Rankings/Star Trek Next Generation Echoes From the Past

For the first part of the Trektember finale, Devon and Chris sit down to give their personal rankings of the various Star Trek series and films. Chris ranks the different TV series, touching on each one briefly, before Devon ranks the Star Trek films and discusses some of the best and worst elements of each. For the second part of the episode, Devon and Chris take a look at the 16 bit Next Gen adventure game known as Echoes From the Past on Genesis and Future’s Past on Super Nintendo. They co...

OMGP: Star Trek (PS3/Xbox 360)

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Hudson finally sit down to discuss a Star Trek game. There have been many Star Trek games over the last few decades, but for this first episode of Trektember, they’ll be discussing the game from 2013 that bridges the gap between the Star Trek films that J. J. Abrams directed. The game was panned by critics, and didn’t win over most hard-core trekkers, but it did a great job of capturing the beloved members of the crew, especially...

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon sits down with Judd to discuss the first of two Rocky video games for the Playstation 2 (it also released for Xbox and Gamecube). The movie mode covers the first five Rocky films, putting the Italian Stallion up against famous opponents like Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang, as well as lesser known fighters that are merely mentioned in the films. Oddly enough, important characters like Adrian and Paulie are dismissed, but Scandinavian b...

OMGP: Transformers (2007)

Riding the coattails of the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hype, Devon and Hudson sit down to talk about the first Bayformers movie game from 2007. The game is pretty bare bones for releasing at the end of the PS2’s life cycle, but it’s still satisfying to kick the crap out of endless waves of enemy drones before transforming into a vehicle and burning rubber in search of the next scrap. Naturally the game focuses more on the Cybertronians than on the humans, choosing to elaborate on the of...

OMGP: The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Jesse sit down to discuss one of the most beloved movie games of all time. After EA’s Two Towers video game established a winning formula the year before, The Return of the King expanded on its predecessor by adding more playable characters, making the environments more interactive, and by improving the graphics and the cinematic framing of the events happening around the player. The combat was smooth, the option to play in co-o...

Pitch Party: Romeo + Juliet

For the final Pitch Party episode within the “Sexy Swordfights” theme, Devon, Bart and Alexis discuss entirely fabricated adaptations of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. While there have been countless versions of the play performed on stages across the globe, and several filmmakers have taken cracks at bringing the story to the screen, very few R + J video games exist. Devon and Bart present alternate histories where Luhrmann’s gaudy 1996 film spawned some role-playing video games in which p...

OMGP: The Pagemaster

For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Sam and Bart join Devon to chat about The Pagemaster for SEGA Genesis. The different horror, fantasy and adventure settings lend themselves well to a video game, and there are no shortage of baddies from the film that are rendered in vibrant 16 bit graphics. However, many of the best characters from the film have been all but erased, and the game basically assumes the player is already familiar with the Pagemaster film, since it doesn’t e...

Pitch Party: Kill Bill

For the second episode in the Pitch Party trilogy of episodes on movies that contain [sort of] sexy sword fights, Alexis and Devon must pitch their own made-up games based on Kill Bill, to Bart. With tons of action, a bad-ass lead dead-set on exacting her bloody revenge, and a whole gang of cool villains in her way, a Kill Bill video game feels like a no brainer, but alas, no tie-in was made. Devon and Alexis have re-watched both volumes of Kill Bill, and they’ve come up with some wacky ways ...

OMGP: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

For the final Obligatory Movie Game Podcast episode of May, Devon and Dalton dive into Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the jaw-droppingly expansive Star Wars RPG from 2003. Unlike most games covered on this show, KOTOR was almost universally loved upon release, and it set the standard from Star Wars games moving forward. Many blogs, youtubers, and video game news outlets still feel like it’s the definitive Star Wars video game. From its robust cast of party members and interesting NPC...

They begin the episode by sharing their personal rankings of the Star Wars movies, before getting into the discussion on the game. This is the first time the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast has covered a game from the Playstation 4/ Xbox 1 generation, and the lucky game to become the newest game covered on the show is a game that showed up on many lists in last year’s Top Ten Star Wars ...

OMGP: Star Wars (NES)

May the 4th be with you! It’s May, and the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast is ready to pick off some womp rats, starting with the 1991 New Hope adaptation for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Even though the difficulty level is harsh (even for the NES), and some of the iconic villains are traded for thrilling adversaries such as the tractor beam generator, the game takes the player through the events of the original Star Wars, from the search for R2-D2 on Tatooine, to the climactic trench run...

In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Hudson sit down to look at another superhero tie-in from the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era. Fantastic Four shares some gameplay elements with other co-op beat em ups like Shrek 2 and X-Men Legends, but it takes some bizarre liberties with its plot. Instead of locking themselves away to conduct tests and to try and find a way to reverse the effects of their accident on the space station, our heroes find themselves battling mummies, dinosa...

For this Obligatory Movie Game Episode Devon and Darryl cover one of the most infamous, and also most-requested-for-this-show movie games of all time. E.T. for the Atari 2600 has garnered a baffling (if a little overblown) reputation as the game that caused the video game crash of 1983, almost destroying the video game industry altogether. A lot of ink has been spilled on the game’s outrageous forced 5 week development window, and the fact that many copies were buried in a desert in New Mexic...

For this Pitch Party episode, Alexis and Bart pitch their own original concepts for video game adaptations of The Princess Bride. The Pitch Party episodes are an offshoot of The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast in which three people come up with, and defend, their own concepts for video games based on films that they love. Since Devon is in the director’s chair for this round, it’s up to him to greenlight one of these bizarre games. Will the pitchers pitch platformers, turn-based RPGs, or perhap...
