The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast

By: Devon Dozlaw
  • Summary

  • The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast is an excuse to play licensed video games and give them their (usually undeserved) moment in the spotlight. Host Devon Dozlaw, and a rotating cast of guest co-hosts, watch the films and TV shows that these cash grab video games are ostensibly based on, suffer through the tie-ins, and then sit down to discuss how well the developers honoured their respective licenses, making fun of the games whenever possible.

  • OMGP: Goldeneye 007
    Dec 23 2023

    For the season 2 finale of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Judd finally sit down to discuss Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. We’ve covered a lot of games on this podcast that live on in infamy, but this is one of the most revered games on the Nintendo 64, and it regularly tops lists of the greatest movie tie-in games of all time. Most fans remember playing round after round of the iconic multiplayer into the wee hours of the night, and while we touch on the innovative multiplayer modes, our main mission is still to examine the plot, characters, locales, and themes of the game to those elements from the movie. Get those martinis ready, it’s time to discuss the third besting-selling N64 game of all time, with the sexiest pause music, the golden gun of movie tie-in video games: Goldeneye 007.

  • OMGP: The Warriors
    Dec 8 2023

    For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Bart do a deep dive on one of the most beloved movie games of all time. Thanks to its Rockstar pedigree, fans of the “Grand Theft Auto” games knew what to expect with “The Warriors,” but the care that the developers put into everything from the brawler combat to the score, was rare in a movie game. The characters, locales, and conflict from the film all make it into the game, but rather than jumping in right where the movie starts, the game takes its time establishing and expanding upon these elements, before catching up to the events of the film. However, even though the developers earned a lot of praise for their ambitious adaptation, “The Warriors” is a product of its time, and there’s a lot to laugh and cringe at. Can you dig it?!

  • OMGP: Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Parts 1 and 2)
    Nov 24 2023

    In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Bart get to geek out about the Watchmen. In “Watchmen: The End is Nigh” the player, or players (since the game has local co-op) get to control Night Owl and Rorschach as they pair up and beat the ever-living-hell out of anyone they see. Bikers, top-knotted gang members, disco-loving, bell-bottomed bachelors, and sex workers are among the many punching bags who find themselves between our heroes and their pursuit of justice, and even though there is a seemingly endless supply of faces to punch, the disparate crime-fighters find plenty of time for political debate, and in the case of Rorschach, bleak, end-times poetry and gruff caveman speak
