SuperBoll Sunday: Two Documentaries And He's Still A C*nt

It's time for SuperBoll Sunday! We've gone through the first round and thinned the herd. Listen for the final time as Jamie and Rory argue to decide the best (?) Uwe Boll videogame movie. As a bonus they also discuss two documentaries made about the man himself that shed some light on what it's like to work on a Boll set. Titles covered: In the Name of the King 2, In the Name of the King 3, Raging Boll and F**k You All: The Uwe Boll Story. A winner must be crowned in this, the final episode of VGMP! Thank you to everyone who has stuck with our little show for all of these years. There's been laughs, there's been fights and at least three occasions where Jamie has almost walked away from the show, but it has been a genuine pleasure to bring this show to you each week.

SuperBoll Saturday: Uwe Boll's Funny Cut is Worse Than The Original

Six seasons and four years. VGMP must decide how we should go out, and there is only one real option. Uwe Boll is the name most associated with videogame movies, having garnered a reputation for putting out truly terrible titles during the 2000s and early 2010s. To close out the show we did a two part tournament to decide which is the best of this bad bunch! We cover House of the Dead: Funny Version, Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne 2, Bloodrayne 3 and Far Cry.

Mortal Kombat X: Generations (2015): The Mortal Kombat That Never Got Finished

Leaked footage from the unreleased project "Mortal Kombat X: Generations" this project was set to star Casper Van Dien as Johnny Cage and also features an appearance from Eric Roberts (that guy is in everything!) More of a curiosity than anything else, the boys take a look at the footage and speculate on what the project could have been.

Press Start: Bio Haphazard (2010): A Halloween Short We Didn't Need

Return to Silent Hill (2026): The Great Gans Returns and Ruins It

A film Jamie has been anticipating ever since it was announced a few years ago; original director Christoph Gans returns to Silent Hill to adapt the very much loved second game in the franchise. The film missed it's original release date following a poorly received trailer online and went silent for a while (ha ha) before quietly being released January 2026. Uh oh. Sounds like a bad sign right? Well if that wasn't enough, the movie opened to a whopping 7% on Rotten Tomatoes and an almost instant deluge of hate online. Yet, the boys decided to go for it anyway and see if Return To Silent Hill really was as bad as people say. So, turn up the volume and join us as we venture once more into that foggy hellmouth; Silent Hill.

Tomb Raider (2018): Lara Larping As Working Class

Based on the "survivor trilogy" reboot of the Tomb Raider games, this 2018 movie swaps Angelina Jolie for Alicia Vikander and casts Walton Goggins in the villain role. This adventure sees Lara searching for her missing father who has disappeared on an expedition to uncover the tomb of Himiko, an ancient witch who was rumoured to have power over death itself. Despite a sequel set up the 2018 movie never saw a follow up and has mostly faded from public consciousness. Jamie and Rory invite returning guest Harry McIlroy to join them in trying to work out why that might be.

Assassin's Creed (2016): Grey Counts As A Colour, Right?

It's one of the most popular videogame franchises of the last twenty years and it's movie adaptation was heralded as potentially being the first movie to break the videogame movie curse. With heavy hitters like Michael Fassbender, Marion Cottilard and Jeremy Irons onboard it certainly seemed like this might be the case...and yet...Assassin's Creed made zero impact on the pop culture and is almost completely forgotten a decade later. In this week's episode we look back at this 2016 movie to see if it deserved its fate or if it deserved better.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025): When The First Film Is Crap, Make The Sequel Worse

After the first movie was a surprise hit, it's no surprise that Blumhouse greenlit a sequel. Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard both return but this time we add Skeet Ulrich to the cast, marking a long awaited on screen reunion between the two original Scream cast members. Except...well...not quite. This movie is a runaway success just like its predecessor, but what do the VGMP boys think of it?

Monster Hunter (2020): Anderson And Jovovich Can Ruin Any Franchise

As we rapidly approach the final ever episode of VGMP it wouldn't be right not to have Jamie do battle one more time with his arch-nemesis; Paul W.S. Anderson. After maiming the Resident Evil franchise with six increasingly bad instalments, Anderson turned his attention to another Capcom franchise; Monster Hunter. Once again casting Mila Jovovich, will Anderson have a better take on this source material than he did Resident Evil? (Spoiler Alert: He won't.)

Sweet Home (1989): The Original Resident Evil By Capcom!

One that's been on Jamie's radar for a while now this week; Sweet Home is the first ever theatrically released videogame movie and was made in conjunction with its videogame counterpart (similar to previous episode Mirai Ninja). Perhaps more importantly, the film is directed by landmark J-Horror director Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) and was one of the chief inspirations behind one of Jamie's all time favourite games; Resident Evil!
