On episode 108 of Film Focus, I cover a topic I've been meaning to do for a few years now; video game adaptations. \n\nNow I am extremely passionate about video game adaptations as I believe they have the potential to be the next big genre in Hollywood if the right IPs are adapted with the right filmmakers. Alas since their inception there has been a lot of missteps in translating their unique elements from games to film. \n\nSo I wanted to look back at the first wave of video game films from the '90s and have a casual analysis about 5 films and discuss:\n\n1) When they came out\n2) Their pros and cons\n3) How they were adapted from their source material\n\nI had a lot of fun making this and you'll probably hear the passion in my voice from how loud I can be on occasions haha. So join me on a trip down memory lane as we dive into the early period of video game adaptations.\n\nTimecodes:\n\n05:32 Super Mario Bros.
