Welcome to Season 4! Or, if you believe my confused narration, Season 3!***
This time we review "Angry Birds", where a 2 minute mobile game has mutated into a 90 minute cartoon that's maybe for kids (but maybe not). Can this little piggy's house survive the weight of all that extra exposition, or are they right when they say less is more? Strap into your slingshot and find out!
CONTENT WARNING: carnivorous pigs, unsanitary drinking conditions, exploding fetuses, mild language.
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr.

We close out our recent batch of video game related films with the 80's classic, "The Running Man". Let's consult the video game check list...
An ex-soldier for our protagonist, framed for crimes he didn't commit?
A deadly contest that risks the player's life in exchange for prizes if they win?
A group of killer bosses with gimmicky powers to hunt our hero?
A trio of weaker characters with bad pathfinding scripts that need to be escorted through the area?
If you can't see how this is a video game come to life, we don't know how to help you. It's time for Arnold to GIT GUD!

Are video games the catalyst for World War III? We review "War Games", where a young Ferris Bueller showcases the most believable hacking skills in any Hollywood movie to outwit the most unbelievable portrayal of NORAD in any Hollywood movie. Real winners don't share gum!

A stranger rolls into town, and he's come to Willy's Wonderland to clean house...

50 episodes and we're still here? We've come back so many times, it defies the Konami code!
To celebrate, we're going back to the well (or tomb?) of Lara Croft, and watching the 2001 original with Angelina Jolie. Are star power and shower scenes more important than fight choreography or a coherent narrative? Paramount Pictures definitely thought so!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONE AND ALL!
We all must have been good little boys and girls, because we have a special treat this year. We asked for it, we searched for it, we prayed for it, and now it's here under the tree. It's a feature length film about video games that’s ALSO a Christmas film. Truly, a video game movie miracle!
