Episode 36: The 2nd Video Game Episode

Cerise and Vicky load up on Mountain Dew and trek into the digital void. Will they find five more video game movies for their ever-growing list? Or will they find only despair and madness?

DeSouza) – Cerise and Vicky are forced to ponder the riddle of the Blanka – is Batman '66-style campy humor enough to redeem one of the granddaddies of the video game movie genre? 53:40 – Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001, Hironobu Sakaguchi) – Cerise and Vicky look upon the works of a video game legend, and despair. 1:10:10 – Alone In The Dark (2005, Uwe Boll) – Cerise and Vicky brave the caverns of mid-2000s cinematic detritus in search of the secret origin of the most infamous video game movie auteur of all time. 1:26:15 – Fatal Frame (2014, Mari Asato) – Cerise and Vicky rejoice upon encountering an oasis of a movie – until they watch its second half.
