A Minecraft Movie (2025): This Is It, The Beginning of Modern Slop

Based on the blockbuster game, A Minecraft Movie was surprisingly a blockbuster hit at the cinemas, relying on the current mantra that all videogame movie should cast Jack Black and embracing the popular memes of the game to create a wave of box office success. Neither Jamie or Rory are Minecraft fans going into this viewing, so is the movie welcoming to new viewers or do you have to already be a fan of the game to appreciate its charms?

Last Bronx: Tokyo Bangaichi (1997): A Big Man With Humungous Props

This week the boys take a look at a little known Japanese movie; Last Bronx: Tokyo Bangaichi, this low budget movie is set in a dystopian future where a fascistic corporation hosts a fighting tournament. Featuring a blend of dark visuals with some goofy and over the top characters, Last Bronx wears its low budget on its sleeve, which might actually work in its favour.

DOOM: Annihilation (2019): Anal-Lotion Again? Or Can Doom Pull It Off?

Yet it is also true that sometimes it is those films that face the most adversity come out with that extra special X factor that turns them into very enjoyable movies. Will that be the case for this intrepid little DOOM movie? Visit our website at www.vgmovie.co.uk Visit our Wiki of Videogame Adaptations at www.vgmp.fandom.com
