Episode 8: The Video Game Movie Episode
Join Cerise and Vicky as they stare into the blue, furry face of late capitalism and live to tell the tale! (And the tail!) 8:10 - Sonic The Hedgehog (2020) The fondest memories of your childhood are but grist for the mill of a dying movie industry, fit only to be processed and repackaged in soulless trim. Eat at Olive Garden. 25:20 - Super Mario Bros: Great Mission To Rescue Princess Peach (1986) The fondest memories of your childhood were, in fact, packaged and processed all along. Eat Mario's Ramen Noodles. 43:40 - Mortal Kombat (1995) When your childhood memories are screamed at you in the middle of a jump kick, it's easier to distract yourself from their commodification. 1:01:10 - House Of The Dead (2003) Uwe Boll doesn't want to commodify anything about your childhood memories. He wants to celebrate them, and even though he doesn't know how, it's still something. 1:21:17 - Ace Attorney (2013) Takashi Miike doesn't give a fuck what he's commodifying - he's gonna make a banger and you're gonna have to deal with it.
