Super Podcast Ep 20 - Video Game Adaptations w/Bede Jermyn & Pat Torfe

Welcome to the landmark Episode 20 of the Super Podcast! Yes folk we have hit numero 2-0! I can’t believe there are 20 episodes already, time flies when you’re podcasting! Once again I am joined with my good mates Bede Jermyn (Terror Australis, JoBlo Schmoe) and Pat Torfe (AITH DVD Pub Critic). We decided to delve into the world of Video Game Adaptations and we ponder whether there are actually any really good ones out there.

Highlights Include:

• We have a good laugh at the early adaptations and admit we did like them as kids.
• Yes there is Street Fighter talk, and yes I do my Van Damme impression.
• We talk about the film I consider to be the best adaptation.
• No pokemon films get discussed however Lara Croft does get a mention.
• Which one of us three is the sad sake who has seen every Uwe Boll film?
• Resident Evil films and Silent Hill, were they worthy?
• Is anything Uwe Boll made remotely decent?
• And much, much more!

Again I would like to thank Bede and Pat for joining me, it was a blast to chat to them and about such a great subject! I would like to thank all the listeners for making this podcast such a success, without you I doubt I would have gotten to 20 episodes! Of course you can find me on Twitter, @SuperMarcey and you can find Bede @BedeJermyn and of course Pat @PatTorfe. If you have any comments, suggestions or general feedback please do not hesitate to email me at marceyness@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode 19 of the Super Podcast, only one more episode before we hit 20! Quite the achievement I must say! This latest episode is a little bit different from the norm, the format for this episode has changed. This is the Avatar edition and I decided to find a few different people to discuss the film with, and instead of having everyone all talk at once, it is split into 5 rounds with the discussion on the film being different for all 3 rounds.

Round 1 guests include my MGR buddy Matt Denton who joined in, despite the fact he hasn’t seen Avatar. Ching-Yao Yu, who is a good buddy of mine from the Twitter-verse and who gives me funny feedback on my blog posts, and from Veracity Nation John D’Agnese.

Round 1 highlights include:

• The difference between seeing the film in IMAX and on a regular cinema screen
• How the Box Office was doing, and what we think contributed to that
• Do we want to watch it in 3D at home and what we think of the up and coming 3D TV’s
• The issues with had with the film, but did it ruin the experience?
• And much, much more for Round 1!

Round 2’s guest is my fellow schmoe from JoBlo (forums) Bede aka Terror Australis (the Terrible Australian). Why is he so terrible? You’ll have to tune in for that one!

Round 2 highlights include:

• Unlike everyone else on the planet, Bede watched this in 2D, how did it hold up?
• What we think of this in comparison to Cameron’s last film Titanic.
• We discuss the craziness that is people needing therapy after finding out Pandora isn’t actually real.
• Is James Cameron King of the World?
• Of course there is much, much more!

Round 3’s guest is my buddy in crime Steven from Empire forums AKA Big Bada Boomba AKA CokedUpBabyBoy, so many alias’s perhaps he should have starred on the show instead of Jennifer Garner?

Round 3 highlights include:

• What we thought was the best thing about the film.
• The over all experience of seeing the film in IMAX.
• What we thought of Sam Worthington, and which one of us doesn’t find him all that attractive (hehe)
• We ponder why people have become so obsessed with the film.
• As usual there is much, much more discussed!

I would like to thank all my guests for joining me for the show it was a real pleasure to have them all on. It was great to discuss the film with different people and get different opinions and views on it. You can find and follow all my guests on Twitter, they are all excellent peeps! For myself you can find me @SuperMarcey, Matt Denton @TheMattDenton, Ching @nutzareus, John @Physboy, Bede @BedeJermyn and Steven @CokedUpBabyBoy

I always encourage feedback, suggestions and of course if you would like to be on the show, you can contact me via Twitter or through my email marceyness@gmail.com or via the many forums I frequent and Facebook or through the blog!

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Super Podcast, in this installment I am finally joined by my MGR Podcasting crew Matt Denton and Will McCaskie. The first ever British and Scottish guests on Super Podcast, I am branching out! Being that it is a new year we thought we would go over the films of 2009, what we saw, what we liked, what we didn’t like and what we did not see. As it turned out we had not seen quite a few films of 2009, and felt we were probably the wrong trio to be talking about it hehe.

Highlights include:

• As we delve into 2009, I ask the boys whether they had seen certain films, they had not.
• There turned out to be some films we had seen, but did we like them?
• The boys pretty much can offend anyone and everyone, so beware!
• Apparently I pronounce the name Megan Fox wrong, and this becomes a discussion.
• Which person actually liked Transformers 2?
• We chose our top films and worst films.
• And of course much, much more!

Okay truth time, I did enjoy having the boys join me for the podcast, we always have a blast when we get together. Something different for us all, as MGR has a different format. You can follow the boys on twitter of course, you can find Matt @TheMattDenton and you can find Will @The_Partys_Over and if you wish you can follow the MGR Podcast @MGRPodcast. If you have any feedback, suggestions or you just want to send me dirty photos you can email me at marceyness@gmail.com and send all hate mail to Matt Denton.
